joseph, you lived up grenfell tower on the second floor with your son and ex—partner. the government say in this new strategy that they will offer victims of big disasters like those people involved in rental tower more support in the future. i wonder if you feel that you have been listening to commit as a victim? from the get go, no. the a nswer victim? from the get go, no. the answer is no. i have been trying to ask them for help, trying to rebuild my life. i‘m still traumatised and still living that every day. i‘m getting no help from them. what kind of help have you been asking for? courses to help me better myself and my future for me and my boys. it it feels like i am begging them, ifeel they do not care about me. for me i believe i am and nobody in this country, that is how i feel at the moment. trying to get help from them, no help. my daughter is trying to get help from them, they‘re still making choices about our future and it is not fair. when you hearjust of describe how he feels he has been treated, what would you say to him? i would like to talk to

mr speaker, from hillsboro to grenfell, there have been too many to properly support those affected by disasters and tragedies. today in the strategy, we have set out our plans for an independent public advocate, and have an tandem published a consultation on the detail of that role. supporting bereaved families so that those failures cannot be repeated, and we can properly support that comes from the beginning of a disaster, right through to the application of justice, and beyond. they say an independent public advocate would help guide bereaved families through any investigative process after a disaster, and so their voices could be heard at inquest. this is misleading. although the title includes the term advocate, the official will not represent bereaved families and inquiries or inquests. when we provide advocates to help victims navigate a complex and intimidating system command lawyers for bereaved families at inquest? it has taken three years for the government to produce a strategy that has finally been unveiled today. so why so many mentions of consultation? consult on a revi

grenfell. i remember reporting when that horrible fire struck. absolutely. a terrible tragedy as we all know. absolutely awful. the trauma for those living in the flats and survived still continues. something you have picked out from the daily telegraph. they carried out an investigation into the other flats around the country that have the same cladding. there are thousands of them. 20,000 plus privately owned. those owned by local authorities etc are likely to have their cladding replaced by the local authority and paid for by the local authority and paid for by the local authority. the question here is what happens to those privately owned? is what happens to those privately owned ? many of is what happens to those privately owned? many of them don't have the funds to do the work. what the telegraph have found is that some of these buildings are not insurable, involving debts of £60,000 in some cases to replace the cladding to make their flat saleable. it is a tragedy. it's a tragic —— travesty. how is that legally not the construction compa ny‘s.
