'Hillsborough law must not be watered down'

Tragedy...fans lift others to safety from the crush in Sheffield in 1989

- By Aine Fox

A PROMISED law named in honour of the Hillsborough victims and aimed at preventing cover-ups must be "all or nothing", campaigners said as the tragedy's anniversary nears.

The charity Inquest said legislation put to Parliament must be "without dilution or caveat", amid concerns that the law might be watered down.

Major campaign groups including Grenfell United and Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK have also backed the call.

Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to introduce the so-called Hillsborough Law before this year's anniversary of the April 15, 1989 disaster which led to the deaths of 97 football fans.
