Hunt apologises for Hillsborough fans remark

BRITISH Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt apologised yesterday after appearing to suggest that fan unrest was to blame for the Hillsborough disaster.

He said he was sorry if his words caused any offence to Liverpool supporters and relatives of the 96 people killed in the incident in April 1989.

Hunt made his remark in an interview in which he was answering questions about England’s poor performance in the World Cup.
