Shouts were heard of 'it's a disgrace' and one protester asked inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick: 'Have you sold your soul yet, Sir Martin?'
When the hearing resumed 10 minutes later, one man in the room told Sir Martin:"These people are not bereaved and survivors."
The protests follow last week's decision by Attorney General Suella Braverman to back a request from firms that refurbished the building that the evidence they give should not be used against them in criminal prosecutions. "It means the inquiry is defunct and the whole thing has to be shut down and they have to move straight to the prosecution."
