"But our forensic search may not be complete until the end of the year".
"We are addressing this as a matter of utmost urgency and assisting the authorities in any way we can".
Speculation has focused on the role that cladding apparently used in a recent refurbishment of the tower may have played in the fire, which appeared to spread quickly up the exterior of the tower in the early hours of June 14.
Cladding and insulation encasing the building did not pass any fire-safety tests, she added, increasing concern the 24-storey block's facade accelerated the blaze's spread.
She added: "I remain really concerned though that we do not have a complete picture".
The Government wants owners of the type of fridge freezer that was the source of the Grenfell Tower fire to call an emergency number.
"We are looking at every criminal offense from manslaughter onwards", Detective Superintendent Fiona McCormack told reporters.
Consumers who believe they may own a Hotpoint fridge freezer model number FF175BP (white) or FF175BG (grey) should call Whirlpool Corporation's freephone hotline on 0800 316 3826 or visit www.hotpointservice.co.uk/fridgefreezer to register their details for further updates. Police are talking to the manufacturers.
Senate Health Care Bill Could Have Big Impact On Colorado
If no Democrats vote in favor of the bill, McConnell can only afford to lose two votes out of the 52 Republicans in the Senate. Republicans say the bill is unaffordable, requires massive tax hikes and creates a bureaucratic system delivering poor care.
Hotpoint said Friday that "words can not express our sorrow at this bad tragedy" and added it was working with authorities to examine the appliance.
Around 600 tower blocks in England have similar cladding to the burnt-out Grenfell Tower, Downing Street said Thursday, while combustible cladding has been found on at least three public housing blocks.
The Department for Communities and Local Government said it would not identify the buildings with combustible panels until landlords have had the opportunity to inform tenants.
The overnight fire rapidly engulfed Grenfell Tower, with flames shooting up the outside of the building, raising concerns that the cladding material attached to the concrete block didn't comply with fire-safety rules.
She said the insulation proved "more flammable than the cladding" and investigators will now seek to establish whether the use of any of these materials was illegal in the UK. May said 151 homes had been destroyed and that their occupants were guaranteed new homes on the same terms, within three weeks and as close to home as possible. It said an urgent review found hotels in Maidenhead, Brentford and Tottenham did not appear to comply with government guidance for tall buildings.
Until the cladding is removed, council staff will carry out round-the-clock fire safety patrols on the estate's corridors. The council said it had told the contractor that installed the panels it was taking urgent legal advice. Numerous tower's residents were newly arrived from places like North Africa, Somalia and Syria.
"Everyone at QPR was shocked and saddened to see the tragic events unfold at Grenfell Tower, a mile away from Loftus Road, and for me it was personal, as the tower is right next to the estate where I grew up".
