Manchester Arena families call for MI5 inclusion in cover-up law

What happened: Families affected by the Manchester Arena attack have urged that MI5 be fully included in new legislation addressing cover-ups, following campaigns linked to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster law.

Why it matters:

  • Ensures intelligence agencies are held accountable in investigations of cover-ups.
  • Affects victims' families seeking transparency and justice in major incidents.
