Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many people who lost their homes as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire have yet to be given (a) temporary and (b) permanent accommodation.

158 families from Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk have been identified in need of temporary housing. Offers of appropriate and good quality temporary accommodation have been made to all 139 households who are ready and able to talk to the housing team. As of 5 July, 14 offers of temporary accommodation have been accepted, and 3 families have already moved in. We have already announced a new block of social housing in Kensington Row that will very shortly provide 68 new permanent homes, and we are urgently working with a number of developers to secure similar properties in the same area.
