Victims of half a century of tragedy and public scandal have united to launch a new law that would end a culture of cover-ups by successive British governments.
Relatives of those who died at Hillsborough and the Grenfell Tower fire, along with those affected by the contaminated blood scandal, nuclear weapons testing, Covid-19, and gas leaks are pushing for all political parties to adopt a 'Hillsborough Law' into their manifestos before the next general election.
They are calling for a statutory duty of candour, publicly-funded legal advocates, and a charter for the bereaved. It comes 5 years after Bishop James Jones wrote a report into the Hillsborough tragedy calling for the same things, and which the government has yet to respond to.
