I see the police are looking into the possibility of criminal charges against those responsible.

I wouldn't adviseholding your breath. If, as seems likely, the cladding is the essential cause, and the planning regulations in this country mean it's legal to use the combustible kind banned in Germany and the US, I can't see how people could be found guilty, however irreponsible they had been to allow its use. The most guilty people would walk free.

Perhaps it will turn out that some contracted workers will have drilled holes in the wrong place, and they'd be the ones to be surrogate scapegoats.
