Hillsborough campaigners ‘in the dark’ on new law on tragedy's 36th anniversary
Floral tributes are left by the Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield, Liverpool, on the 36th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, April 15, 2025

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.
