Hillsborough campaigners oppose bill over security services exemption

What happened: Campaigners for the Hillsborough Law have expressed concerns that the proposed bill exempts security services from anti-cover-up provisions. They say this exemption undermines the law's purpose.

Why it matters:

  • The bill aims to prevent cover-ups in public incidents but may leave security services unaccountable.
  • Families of victims and the wider public seeking transparency could be affected by this exemption.

MNN Take: The campaigners' objection highlights a potential gap in the bill's coverage, raising questions about its effectiveness in ensuring full accountability.
