THE Prime Minister has missed his own deadline to introduce a law obliging public authorities and officials to fully co-operate with official inquiries.

The Hillsborough Law, promised ahead of the disaster’s 36th anniversary today, was expected to introduce a “duty of candour” requiring proactive co-operation with official investigations.

Campaigners are also understood to be concerned over precisely to whom the law will apply.
