Families Demand Honesty Law, Starmer Pledges New Amendment

Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description

Families affected by major disasters, including Hillsborough, Manchester Arena bombing, and Windrush scandal, have sent a letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, expressing deep disappointment over the governments delay on the Hillsborough law. The law aims to require police and public bodies to be fully honest during investigations, but talks have hit a wall due to concerns over national security. The families want judges or inquiry leaders to review all information and decide what to release, while the government is crafting a new amendment to extend the honesty duty to security service workers. Talks could resume soon, with leaders committed to a strong law that honors decades of family advocacy without risking public safety.
