Government 'aims to rehouse families locally'published at 21:40 British Summer Time 16 June 2017
Cabinet Minister David Gauke has told the BBC that those made homeless by the fire will be rehoused "as close as possible" to where they were before.
He told the BBC: "Nobody will be moved way away from where they are at the moment. It is clearly important in terms of family groups, schools and access to jobs and so on. There is inevitably a huge amount of disruption that everybody is facing but we want to minimise that."
He added: "The offer in terms of rehousing and the approach we are taking is to get people as close as possible to where they were before, certainly within the borough they are in or a neighbouring borough."

Trauma expert Richard Reid has told BBC News that his organisation is offering free initial psychological support to firefighters directly involved in the blaze.

There are two demonstrations going on at the moment - one in central London and one in Kensington, near Grenfell Tower.
The BBC's Mark Lowen - who is in Kensington - said the protesters want a much quicker enquiry to find out what was behind the tragedy.
He said they "want accountability" and that they "don't feel placated" by the £5m fund announced by Theresa May.
"There is a deep hostility against the government," he added, noting that anti-government protesters were present as well as those "angered by this specific tragedy".

Council respond to protesters' questionspublished at 19:33 British Summer Time 16 June 2017
Protesters who gathered outside Kensington town hall earlier submitted a list of questions to the council.
Here's what the council responded:
1. Written commitment from the council on the immediate rehousing of all the victims of Grenfell Tower fire, within the borough.
We plan to house residents of Grenfell Tower as locally as we can. But we may well need help from our close neighbours. We want to rehouse people in a good home as quickly as we can. The council is committed to looking after the immediate and longer-term housing needs of all those affected by the fire.
2. Immediate release of funds to cover costs of welfare and all losses suffered by the victims.
We are already releasing funds to take care of the immediate needs of those affected as well as other support, We are absolutely committed to supporting anyone affected in the days, weeks and months ahead. But if you know of individuals or families who you feel aren't getting help, then please let us know so we can help them as quickly as possible.
3. Commission investigation into the recent £10m refurbishment project on the same tower, and bring those who failed to install adequate health and safety measures and equipment at the building.
We entirely support the calling of the public enquiry and will cooperate in whatever way we can with it so that local people have all the answers about what has happened. We would also work with others to enable the release of any interim reports as quickly as possible.
4. Release of the full list of victims of the tragedy so families can bereave their dead.
This is not a matter for the council but for the coroner, police and other emergency services. But, we understand that this is a hugely distressing time for everyone affected and we will do all we can with our police colleagues to support people.
5. Commission investigation into all other similar buildings in the borough to identify fire, health and safety risks and put in place immediate control measures.
We understand the community will not want us to wait until the conclusion of any formal public inquiry before we understand what lessons may have to be learned. That's why we will shortly commission a fire safety audit in all similar buildings throughout the borough and we will certainly act on the findings.
