FAMILIES of the Hillsborough victims called on Amber Rudd yesterday to order a full-scale public inquiry into the Battle of Orgreave as her expected announcement into what form the probe will take looms.

The Home Secretary is expected to announce today whether there will be a full-scale review into police conduct at the brutal clash between riot officers and pickets during the miners’ strike in 1984.

Pressure for a full inquiry into Orgreave has been mounting since the Hillsborough inquest’s scathing assessment of South Yorkshire Police — the same force that co-ordinated attacks on striking miners — for its actions during the 1989 football stadium disaster and subsequent cover-up.
