The Chronicle
|November 03, 2025

-
‘The Public Office (Accountability) Bill will have its second reading in Parliament today, having been introduced in the Commons in September to begin the journey towards becoming law.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had previously pledged to bring it before Parliament by the 36th anniversary of the tragedy, which was on April 15, but Downing Street then said more time was needed to redraft it amid concerns among some campaigners that the Bill’s contents had been diluted and would not include a legal duty of candour.
