Government Hillsborough response 'doesn't have families' support'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : To deliver that response on a day when all eyes are on a former prime minister giving evidence to the Covid Inquiry only seeks to increase the cynicism felt amongst Hillsborough families and the thousands of others who would benefit from a change in the law.
47% : "Only the full reintroduction of the Public Authority (Accountability) Bill, which was introduced by Andy Burnham but fell when the 2017 general election was called, will do; namely making a duty of candour enforceable, and ensuring a level playing field between public authorities and those affected by disasters and wrongdoing at inquests and inquiries.

26% : "After six years, the government has finally responded to a report by the former Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones, which recorded the experiences of the families of the victims of the 1989 disaster and laid out recommendations for changes in the law to ensure that others would not face the same painful fight for truth and justice that they have.
