Andy Burnham has called for a Hillsborough law to be introduced putting a duty of candour on public servants to avoid future cover-ups such as the infected blood scandal.
The former health secretary and now Greater Manchester mayor said such a law is the only way to break the cycle that has led to “Whitehall cover-ups” including the Post Office scandal, the Hillsborough disaster, the Grenfell tragedy and the infected blood scandal.
