Starmer and Burnham hail Hillsborough Law as MPs give approval

MPs are expected to approve the long-delayed 'Hillsborough Law', which would impose a duty on public authorities to tell the truth and cooperate with official investigations. The legislation, named after the 1989 Hillsborough disaster where police spread false narratives, has faced delays over its application to intelligence services but now appears set to pass in Sir Keir Starmer's final days as prime minister. The bill also commits to providing legal aid for victims of disasters or state-related deaths.
