Grenfell Tower
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority's Annual Report 2024–25, published on 11 August 2025, for what reason no evaluation was completed for the Grenfell site and programme.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The government is committed to supporting the community affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy for the long term.
The programme is extremely sensitive and involves direct working with bereaved families, survivors, and residents in the immediate community. It includes carefully taking down the Grenfell Tower, and design and delivery of a community-led Grenfell Tower Memorial.
Given this context, the Department has agreed with the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority that a formal, departmental led evaluation of outcomes would not be appropriate.
The Programme has regular assurance reviews from the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority, with suppliers reporting monthly against agreed performance indicators and progress monitored through appropriate governance channels.
There is an ongoing offer to the Grenfell community to engage and hear views to shape the programme.
