HILLSBOROUGH INQUEST AND SIR BERNARD INGHAM

Early day motion 1425, tabled 27 April 2016 by Ian Mearns (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House, in light of the very welcome outcome of the inquest into the deaths of 96 Liverpool supporters at Hillsborough, calls on Sir Bernard Ingham immediately to accept that the letter he sent to the families of victims on 8 July 1996 was crass, misinformed, insensitive, rude and just plain wrong; and furthermore calls on Sir Bernard Ingham to apologise to the families and to accept that his actions in sending such a letter were totally inappropriate and not befitting the position that he held within Government.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 16, Labour 6, DUP 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
