MPs prepare to approve Hillsborough Law before summer recess
Starmer advances the Hillsborough Law through the House of Commons during the final week of the session. This legislation establishes a legal duty of candour for public bodies. Officials must be transparent during investigations into major disasters. The measure follows years of campaigning to secure accountability for the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. Under the new rules, public officials who provide dishonest information could face criminal charges. MPs are expected to grant final approval to the bill before the summer break.
