Experts have said restoring the fire-ravaged Mackintosh building to its previous architectural glories could run into hundreds of millions of pounds and take years of painstaking work.
Mr McGown said: "Our investigators will cover a vast array of information.
"They have a complex task ahead of them and of course will look at situations and issues such as which fire safety systems were in place beforehand, what was supposed to be in place, witness statements, CCTV footage and working with our our partners will collate that information for what will be the one truly informed source of what actually happened in this fire."
