I am proud to be part of a UK Labour Government that introduced The Hillsborough Law.
The Bill and its legacy belong to the families of the 97 who have carried the torch of justice through decades of darkness.

John Swinney’s dithering has consequences. Scots won’t get full access to justice under Hillsborough Law — we’ll be left relying on charity.
Scotland can’t survive a 3rd decade of this tired SNP government.
We need change. Only Scottish Labour can deliver it.

Scots 'could need to crowdfund legal fights' if SNP doesn't agree full Hillsborough Law
Douglas McAllister has called on John Swinney to “stop dithering” and agree to introduce non-means-tested legal aid for bereaved families at inquests involving public authorities.
