Hillsborough Law Demanded on Anniversary

Hillsborough Law Demanded on Anniversary

The anniversary of the 1989 tragedy, which claimed the lives of 97 football fans, was marked by a permanent memorial unveiling at Everton's new stadium.

Starmer told Parliament he remains 'personally committed' to the law, which would impose a statutory duty of candor on public officials.

However, survivors and family members have expressed frustration over continued delays, arguing that they should not still be fighting for the truth nearly four decades later.

The proposed legislation has become a central point of debate in Westminster as the government seeks to restore public trust in the justice system.
