Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
MICHAEL GOVE has apologised to Grenfell survivors and bereaved families after admitting that the government was “partially responsible” for the deadly tower block fire.
The Communities Secretary said yesterday that “faulty and ambiguous” government guidance had allowed “unscrupulous people to exploit a broken system in a way that led to tragedy.”
His remarks come almost six years on from the disaster in west London on June 14 2017, which killed 72 people.
