A new UK law mandates honesty from public officials and expands legal aid for families affected by tragedies like Hillsborough.
The Hillsborough Law, formally the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, has been introduced to Parliament, establishing a legal duty of candour for public officials, requiring honesty and integrity with potential criminal penalties for breaches.
Aimed at ending cover-ups, the law draws from lessons of past tragedies like Hillsborough, Grenfell, and the Post Office scandal.
It also includes the largest legal aid expansion in a decade for bereaved families, offering non-means-tested support for inquests.
Campaigners welcome the step but warn against weakening the bill during its parliamentary journey.
