The Hillsborough Law aims to establish a legal duty of candour for public officials during major inquiries, ensuring they tell the truth. Sir Keir Starmer confirmed commitments to this legislation, despite allegations of its dilution. Ian Byrne has pushed for the original law's implementation, emphasizing the law's role in preventing future tragedies. The law can't reverse past pain but seeks to restore faith in justice. In 2016, an inquest concluded that the 97 Liverpool supporters who died were unlawfully killed, not to blame.
"The law cannot bring back the 97, it cannot erase the decades of pain, nor undo the trauma inflicted by callous lies and institutional neglect. But it can stop this from ever happening again."
"We will bring this forward - I just want to take the time to get it right."
