Government refuses full police funding request for Grenfell investigation despite approving all others - including royal wedding security and Madeleine McCann Inquiry
The government refused to fully meet a special request for funding towards the Grenfell Tower police investigation despite approving all others made last year – including those to cover security for the royal wedding and Donald Trump’s visit.
While the request for additional funding for the probe into the 2017 disaster was considerably higher than others lodged by the Metropolitan Police – at £11m last year and £13.5m in 2018-19 – politicians said the decision was causing further delays and accused the Home Office of “denying justice”.
Among the funding requests that were met in full were the Commonwealth Summit – which received £5.2m last year – security for both the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle (£237,000) and the US president's 2018 visit (£1.3m), and the Madeleine McCann investigation (£608,500).

The next injection of funding into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is pending.
Are we paving the way for the grand finale or are we paving the way for yet another stay of execution.

Hi Verdi,"Grenfell Tower" funding Police Investigation?
This tragic Grenfell Tower fire incident caused Deaths and injuries to a lot of families, I understand the necessity of information being made public so as Not to try to mask what may have happened.
Even Channel Four are launching inquiries into the Fire Department before the Government Investigation panel investigating the fire has concluded anything!
Let the Authority concluded their findings,then if they are wrong,challenge them.

Interesting legal problem they are coming up against.
The Enquiry wants to enquire into the causes.
It wants everyone to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
But the witnesses want assurances that IF they do that, and tell the truth, WT and NbtT
it won't be used against them in any criminal proceedings, where of course only the witnesses
are sworn to tell the T, WT and NbtT.
Defendants are free to keep silent, or to tell as many untruths as they want,
without fear of prosecution for Perjury.
Two different systems
Two incompatible philosophies.
Other legal systems don't have this problem. Trials are Inquisitorial, presided over by an Examining Magistrate
who examines, asks, and tries to find out the truth of what actually happened.
In the English system a criminal trial is purely on the evidence put forward by the prosecution during the trial.
If they miss something, or don't put forward enough, the defendant is found Not Guilty regardless of the objective truth.
So a witness in the enquiry can say, "Yes I did X, and I knew it would lead to deaths . . ."
but at any subsequent criminal trial will have to be asked "Did you do X ?" and may refuse to answer
and if there is no other overwhelming evidence, will be found not Guilty.
No one will be allowed to say, "BUT at the enquiry you admitted X, and said Y . . ."
Strange ?
It may seem so, but don't ever confuse Truth and Justice and the Law.
