MP Harriet Harman said she backed calls for a public inquiry into fire safety in high-rise buildings after six people died in a tower block blaze.

Police forensic officers and fire investigators are still searching Lakanal House in Camberwell, south London, to find the cause of the blaze on Friday night and discover why it spread so quickly.

Ms Harman, Leader of the House of Commons and MP for Camberwell and Peckham, said it was important to establish the sort of inquiry and what its remit would be.
