Motion Text

That this House notes the 23 year fight for truth by families, survivors and campaigners following the Hillsborough disaster on 15 April 1989; further notes that steps are underway to seek to quash the original inquest verdicts on the 96 victims and undertake new inquests; further notes the collaboration of musicians in producing a cover of the song He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother by the Justice Collective to be released on 17 December, with all proceeds going towards a legal fund to support the families in their continuing fight for justice; and calls on the Chancellor of the Exchequer to waive VAT on this recording so as to maximise the funds available to support the Hillsborough families.
