British government stops short of introducing Hillsborough law in response to report

The Patronising Disposition Of Unaccountable Power found failings in the way the bereaved families of the Hillsborough disaster were treated by those in authority.

The British government has stopped short of introducing a Hillsborough Law called for by campaigners in its response to a report into the experiences of the bereaved families.

Former bishop of Liverpool the Right Rev James Jones set out 25 learning points in his report The Patronising Disposition of Unaccountable Power, published in November 2017 following inquests into the deaths at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield - where 97 Liverpool FC fans died.
