47% : "In his 2017 report, Mr Jones called for the Government to give "full consideration" to a "Hillsborough Law" or Public Authority (Accountability) Bill, which would include a legal duty of candour on public authorities and officials to tell the truth and proactively co-operate with official investigations and inquiries.
22% : The bereaved families had wanted a statute which would make it a criminal offence for public authorities and officials to lie to the public, and ensure victims of disasters or state-related deaths are entitled to parity of legal representation during inquests and inquiries - meaning they could receive public funding.
