Context
There is a long-standing issue regarding the establishment cover-up at Hillsborough which denied justice to victims and survivors. MPs, ministers, and prime ministers from both sides have been involved in this cover-up, with only a few exceptions standing up for accountability.
Question
Given that the Government have so far failed to deliver their promise to enact the Hillsborough law, does the Minister recognise that this is a continuation of the betrayal of the Hillsborough families, survivors and all those affected by state cover-ups? If he does recognise that, will he support the Second Reading of the Hillsborough law that I have tabled tomorrow —and if not, why not?
Answer from Nick Thomas-Symonds (Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office)
First, I pay tribute to the work that my hon. Friend has done. I know that he speaks on this matter from lived experience. He is, has been and will continue to be, an extraordinarily powerful advocate for the Hillsborough families. The assurance that I give him is that the Government are absolutely determined to get this right.
Not addressed: Supporting the Second Reading of the Hillsborough law proposed for tomorrow
How: Will Continue To Do So
