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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what the latest timetable is for the Grenfell memorial.

The government is fully committed to supporting the independent Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission in the creation of a fitting and lasting memorial, determined by the community, to honour those who lost their lives, and those whose lives were forever changed, by the tragedy.

In July 2024, the Commission, supported by the government and the Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA), launched the process to select a team to work with the community to design a future memorial on the Grenfell Tower site. Five teams were shortlisted in January and asked to further develop their design approach.

The chosen design team will work with bereaved families, survivors and local residents, throughout 2026 to develop a detailed design for the memorial, with the community closely involved through-out.
