A cross-party committee, including the Human Rights Committee, backs the timely proposal for a Hillsborough Law to end establishment cover-ups. The law aims to ensure candor, honesty, and openness from officials in cases like Hillsborough and Grenfell. Various MPs and organizations support the need for legislation to address state-related deaths and injustices, emphasizing the importance of accountability and fair compensation schemes.
The sister of a man who died in the Hillsborough disaster has cast doubt on whether a law aimed at preventing official cover-ups can ever truly work "until they start sending people to prison" Read more🔗 https://t.co/UmNLYbgDfy
Delay, denial and defensiveness is the default response to those bereaved after state related deaths, more concerned with reputation management than learning and accountability. Good to see @HumanRightsCtte support #HillsboroughLaw to end this shocking injustice @NowHillsborough https://t.co/xmwwfjWtku
I’m extremely proud of this report from @HumanRightsCtte on a Hillsborough Law. The recommendations are extremely timely after this week’s report on the latest scandal & establishment cover up. The report reinforces the need for the next Government to implement the law. https://t.co/0syzNTIiJi
MPs publish plans today for a “Hillsborough Law”. Bloody Sunday, Hillsborough, PO, Manchester Fire, Grenfell etc etc prove things are so bad we actually need law to force officials into candour, honesty and openness.
We have published a report on human rights and the proposal for a "Hillsborough Law". We argue for a broad ‘duty of candour’ and enhanced legal support for families. Read our report here: https://t.co/t8DfUFSZQt https://t.co/aDpg2ZSbXB
Government 'must go further' for a Hillsborough Law https://t.co/0VHfgKZZVp
I hope there are people in the next government who are motivated to make changes for victims off disasters and scandals. I hope Hillsborough Law and Martyn’s Law are passed and that compensation schemes are run fairly and swiftly. We have seen too much shoulder shrugging
Fantastic work @HumanRightsCtte A cross party committee backing a Hillsborough Law is timely and shows the strong support across both houses for legislation to begin to end the scandal of establishment cover-ups. #HillsboroughLawNow #JFT97 https://t.co/YvZT6OBXDh
