Hillsborough law must be all or nothing, families say
BBC News, 8 April 2025
A law named in honour of victims of the Hillsborough disaster and aimed at preventing cover-ups must be "all or nothing", campaigners have said, after concerns the bill might be watered down.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has previously pledged to introduce the so-called Hillsborough Law before this year's anniversary of the 1989 tragedy.
It would demand public authorities and officials tell the truth and co-operate with official investigations and inquiries, or face criminal sanctions.
Legislation presented to Parliament must be "without dilution or caveat" the Inquest charity said after it was reported last month a meeting with the Prime Minister was cancelled.
