Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 October 2026

Debate

Public Office (Accountability) Bill

Contribution

Amendment 122 derives directly from the remarkable achievements of the Hillsborough Family Support Group and how its members managed over decades of persistent, dignified campaigning finally to reveal the truth of what happened to their loved ones and secure some measure of justice. Such agency required quite extraordinary effort and dedication by all its members, and I believe that the Government need still to learn the lessons from such an historic endeavour.
