The Dudley pub was demolished two days after the blaze.
Police say they are investigating a fire which gutted a historic pub as arson.
The remainder of the building was demolished by a mechanical digger on Monday, despite South Staffordshire Council saying it had permitted only the top floor to be demolished for safety reasons.Its total demolition prompted Dudley North MP Marco Longhi to question why police did not intervene.
"We have spoken to, and continue to engage, with the owners. However, speculation is extremely unhelpful and could hinder our investigation."We're conducting a joint investigation with colleagues at Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service and are liaising closely with their fire investigators, who have confirmed that the cause of the fire cannot currently be determined.
In a letter written by Mr Longhi, he questioned who was responsible for the demolition of the building and asked whether the police were notified before it took place, adding that the"public is extremely angry".
