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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what information he holds on whether Kensington and Chelsea Council maintained lists of local (a) rest centres and (b) empty flats for potential use in the event of an emergency or disaster affecting that borough.

A month has passed since the Grenfell Tower disaster. Help for the victims continues to be the top priority and we are determined that they should have the support that they need, including offers of appropriate and good quality accommodation and by making financial and emotional support available.

Questions about the conduct and internal arrangements of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea local authority will be for the Public Inquiry to consider.
