Mayor: Emergency services in 'recovery phase'
Emergency services have moved from the "rescue phase" of their operation to the "recovery phase", London Mayor Sadiq Khan says.
In a Facebook post, Mr Khan said the death toll is "a figure which I am afraid is expected to increase".
He added: "I have been in talks with Government ministers, including the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, this afternoon, and I am working hard with them and of course with our emergency services on the response to the fire.
"I raised the issue of checks on other tower blocks which have been going through similar refurbishment programmes to Grenfell House, and I welcome that ministers have said checks will now be carried out."
