Summarising the statement Stephen Walsh QC said:
"The bereaved, survivors and residents of Grenfell Tower must be provided with the clearest understanding of what happened on the night of 14 June 2017, both as to the causes of the fire and the manner in which the firefighting and rescue operation was conducted, which would also, of course, inform fire service learning.
"It is the LFB's continuing intention to use all of the resources at its disposal to support the inquiry through both phases of hearings in the coming months."
