Hillsborough Law Pushed on Anniversary

The proposed law would mandate a duty of candor for public officials, ensuring transparency and accountability following major tragedies.

While Starmer stated he is 'personally committed' to the measure, survivors and families of the 97 victims have criticized the government for continued delays.

The anniversary was marked by memorials at Everton's new stadium and tributes across Liverpool, highlighting the enduring pain of the 1989 tragedy.

Supporters argue the law is essential to protect citizens from the type of police blunders and misinformation that followed the disaster.
