OUTRAGE erupted today against government inaction after a fire that ripped through a London block with Grenfell-style cladding left 40 people in need of treatment.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) was called to the 19-storey New Providence Wharf development, near Canary Wharf, this morning, where a fire engulfed three floors.

Two adults had gone to hospital after suffering the effects of smoke inhalation and a further 38 adults and four children were treated at the scene, LFB said.
