Grenfell Tower illegal subletting amnesty announced by Sajid Javid
Grenfell Tower residents who were illegally subletting will not face prosecution, Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has said.
The Cabinet Minister said the move was guided by a concern that "loved ones still missing are identified".
The protection from prosecution applies to anyone coming to authorities with information about people who were in their flats at the time of the fire.
Anecdotal evidence from residents has indicated that people living in the tower block may have been unlawfully subletting their properties, and that they are reluctant to come forward and report others are missing because of the fear of reprisal.
