The financial cost of the Grenfell Tower disaster has soared to £1.2bn.
Alongside the loss of 72 lives in the 2017 tragedy, the costs, detailed by The Guardian, arise from five main sources: the council, government, public inquiry and police investigation, and the company that made the cladding.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, which owned the tower, has spent or budgeted £481m, including purchasing new homes for survivors.
The government’s costs from owning the site, which is set to become a memorial, stand at £291m.
The ongoing public inquiry has so far cost £170m.
The Metropolitan Police has so far spent £60.5m.
And the company which made the cladding, Arconic, has spent £35m on lawyers and advisers and recorded a liability of £47m for settling civil claims.
Nearly 900 bereaved and survivors have received £150m compensation, according to latest figures from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.
The main contractor, Rydon, has £27m prepared for civil claims. The London Fire Brigade has spent £14.5m on legal bills.
And a “restorative justice” programme is also under way using £50m from Arconic, the council and others.
Using the flammable cladding during the refurbishment of 2014, instead of the original fire-retardant cladding, saved £293,368.
