 Campaigners have launched a fundraising bid to help make the proposed Hillsborough Law a legal reality. If enacted, the new law would mean officials would have to come clean about wrongdoing and failures and co-operate proactively with investigations, inquiries and inquests. The second part of the Bill calls for parity of provision for victims with the public authorities involved in inquests and inquiries. So far, a growing number of MPs have given their public support for the Bill, but there are still some Parliamentary hurdles to overcome. Lawyer Elkan Abrahamson, from solicitors Broudie, Jackson and Canter, has started a “Just Giving” fundraising effort to gather more support and cash to make a Hillsborough Law become a reality. He said: “The Hillsborough Law has the support of MPs from all parties but the Government is doing nothing about enacting it. “We need a petition calling for a debate in Parliament and we need a campaigner to lobby for the law to be brought before parliament. “INQUEST, a charity providing expertise on state-related deaths and supporting bereaved families, will take on a campaigner if we raise enough money. |
