The leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, which owns the Grenfell Tower block has said "when the public inquiry is held we will find out more about any design faults".

Councillor Nick Paget-Brown told Martha Kearney they were "working closely with the London Fire Brigade" to identify risks in other high rise buildings owned by the council.

When asked whether they would be fitting sprinklers in other blocks that currently don't have a system, Mr Paget-Brown said "we would need technical advice".

"My understanding of the technical design of a sprinkler system is that it needs to be embedded and therefore you might create additional hazards," he said.
