Motion Text

That this House notes with great sadness that it has been 30 years since the Hillsborough disaster where 96 people were unlawfully killed; further notes that The Sun newspaper's coverage of this event was widely criticised and that many retailers in Liverpool still refuse to sell The Sun; notes that some Members are survivors of this disaster or relations of survivors; and resolves that The Sun newspaper should not be available for reading on the Parliamentary Estate.
