The tower block fire which killed six people in south-east London was caused by an electrical fault, according to initial tests. The blaze at Lakanal House, Camberwell, originated from a portable television at least 10 years old, police said. Meanwhile, BBC London claims it has obtained a report into the safety of Southwark’s tower blocks that was commissioned in 2000 by a parliamentary committee. The BWF continues to monitor reports on the investigation into how the fire spread.
