Default Grenfell death toll 'could have been covered up' to avoid riots, MP suggests

The Government says "nobody is hiding anything" as an MP raises fears of a cover-up and tower block residents demand justice.



David Lammy, MP for Tottenham, who lost a friend in the disaster, raised fears of a cover-up.

"What people say is that if you put the numbers out early, there could be civil unrest. That's what they say," he told BBC2's Newsnight.

"I am sympathetic to it, I am going to walk alongside those people."

Asked if he believed the number of dead had not been released due to the potential for civil unrest, he said: "The truth is the media cycle is now beginning to move on to other things, that's the truth.

"And so what people say is that in two, three weeks' time, if you start to reveal the numbers, things have moved on."

"In one flat alone, people say there were up to 40 people gathering, because they gathered in the flat, it was Ramadan," he said.
