Families pushing for ‘Hillsborough law’ to outlaw police cover-ups after major incidents
Relatives of the 97 people killed at Hillsborough in 1989 will discover today how the government intends to respond to recommendations for widespread reform made in an official report six years ago into their experiences.
The report by James Jones, the former bishop of Liverpool, was commissioned by the then home secretary, Theresa May, in 2016 after a new inquest determined that the 97 people who died at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest had been unlawfully killed.
