Families 'will not support' weakened Hillsborough Law
Liverpool MP Ian Byrne criticized the proposed weakened Hillsborough Law, highlighting the removal of the duty of candor for public officials in major inquiries. Families of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster victims are concerned about the revised bill, demanding that the legislation includes the obligation for truthfulness. Despite missing the April deadline, the government is working on the law, which aims to hold public servants accountable for honesty and provide legal support to those affected by state-related tragedies.
