Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that trustees of the organisations responsible for the dispersal of relief funding after the Grenfell Tower tragedy have no conflict of interest.

As stated in my answer today to Question UIN 2110, the consortium will provide assurance to DCLG that this fund is used to support the local community and voluntary sector to meet the immediate needs of those affected by the fire. The consortium will also ensure the organisations in receipt of this funding are recognised charities, incorporated bodies or other organisations which are operating for charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes and have been directly supporting those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire.
