#Justiceforclaire Sir John O'Hara confirmed a cover up and that a coroner was misled in his concluding findings from the UKs longest public inquiry.

It will more than likely take a private members Bill to implement Justice O'Haras primary recommendation for a statutory individual duty of candour with criminal sanctions for breach of this. Please fill in this consultation. https://t.co/kql7DmiIQT

During the debate on the Hillsborough Law yesterday, I called on the Prime Minister to ensure that the duty of candour applies to all investigations, not just statutory inquiries #Primodos

Today at the Second Reading of the #HillsboroughLaw, I set out why this Bill, including the vital duty of candour to ensure public officials tell the truth - matters so much to me and many others. #JFT97 #HillsboroughLawNow

In summing up at 2nd Reading of #HillsboroughLaw yesterday, I told Parliament this Bill must mark the beginning of the end of the suffering of working class people dragged into the vortex of a state cover-up. #JFT97

Don't be fooled by the 'Hillsborough Law' tag. It should be called the 'stopping police and public officials lying and throwing the blame law.' It should have positive impact for Grenfell, the tainted blood scandal, the nuclear test scandal, NHS cover-ups and many other cases
Piece about the Hillsborough Law. Starmer’s backtracking, Lammy’s tears, the implications for Grenfell, tainted blood families and nuclear test victims. Plus fears it will be neutered by amendment

How this will work in an NHS context will be fascinating.
I made a promise that as Prime Minister, I would bring in the Hillsborough Law, making sure the state can never hide from the people they are supposed to serve. Today, I make good on that promise.

Hillsborough Law will demand a “duty of candour” from public officials. This is about Post Office Horizon & Grenfell as well as Hillsborough. Well done to all the campaigners like Ian Byrne who’ve fought tirelessly to get this law to Parliament - and to stop it being watered down
I’m proud that the Hillsborough Law will be laid before Parliament tomorrow. A huge step towards justice, truth and genuine change - and a legacy worthy of the 97. #JFT97 #HillsboroughLaw

@GarethRoberts0 @SorchaEastwood @stewartcdickson @StephenFarryUU @EoinTennyson It's great news and @SorchaEastwood and @NualaMcAllister have worked to secure extension to Northern Ireland. I have also asked all Executive colleagues to consider how this will impact their departments. It's important that they are prepared to implement these new provisions.

Big day for families involved in Hillsborough tragedy & the scandal afterwards, and for those of us who fights for truth and justice. Will be taking the time to read and scrutinise my bill which may well compliment my own Private Members Bill on an individual duty of candour.

Excellent news. A victory for all involved in injustice. Now time to legislate for a statutory individual duty of candour with criminal sanctions in NI as recommended by Sir John O'Hara. @SorchaEastwood @naomi_long @stewartcdickson @StephenFarryUU @EricHanvey2 @EoinTennyson
At long last, the Hillsborough Law will become a reality. It's testament to those families who've fought so hard over decades despite such indignity towards them. Never again can state cover ups be allowed, whether it's Hillsborough, @ChinookJustice Grenfell, infected blood,
