Hillsborough Debate Date Set
Posted on 14. Sep, 2011 by Liam Tomkins in Hillsborough, News
A date for a House of Commons debate regarding the full release of government papers relating to the Hillsborough disaster has been set. The hearing will be held on October 17th after over 140,000 people signed a petition forcing a parliamentary debate.
Steve Rotheram, Liverpool Walton MP, who has worked tirelessly on the case, broke the news via his Twitter account.
“Confirmation: Hillsborough debate agreed – October 17 for half a day in the House of Commons Chamber with a vote on the motion if necessary.” he tweeted.
He did, however, err on the side of caution as there is still a long way to go in the fight for justice.
“Let’s not get carried away. We have secured a HoC (House of Commons) debate, but this is not the end of the fight. Thanks to Merseyside MPs, Andy Burnham and others.” he added.
