Proceeding contribution from Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 22 June 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Grenfell Tower.


Grenfell Tower

I am happy to agree with the comments of the most reverend Primate. We also saw a similar coming together of community after the Finsbury Park mosque incident, so I am very happy to endorse everything he said. With regard to the emergency services, again, I think we have all agreed about the emergency services and the bravery of the fire services—the noble Baroness, Lady Smith, spoke very well about that. We saw in their response that they were able to act very quickly and to do everything within their power to save as many people as possible. Of course, we commend all the incredible work that they do.
