Hillsborough E-Petition *MUST SIGN*

[Alex]

I suppose the more that sign it, the more pressure on the Gov to come out with an outcome that everyone wants. At this rate there will be more signatures than people who voted for the Conservatives

Dear ................(me)

The e-petition 'Full disclosure of all government documents relating to 1989 Hillsborough disaster' signed by you recently reached 131,233 signatures and a response has been made to it.

This e-petition has reached 100,000 signatures. The Government has notified the Backbench Business Committee in the House of Commons who will consider its suitability for debate when Parliament returns in September. This e-petition will remain live, and people will be able to continue adding their signatures. In the meantime, we would like to update you on the Government’s current position on the substance of this e-petition: The Government has confirmed its commitment to full transparency about the Hillsborough disaster through full public disclosure. All papers had previously been shared with the Hillsborough Independent Panel. The Government is happy for all the papers, including Cabinet papers, to be released as soon as the Panel so decides, in consultation with the families. We expect them to be shared with the Hillsborough families first and then to the wider public.

That email pisses me off. If the Government is committed to full transparency, then why the **** are they trying to stop the information from coming out.

What's to debate?

You'd have to be pretty brave (and stupid) to get up in Parliament, live on TV, and state they shouldn't be released. You'd get lynched!

As a result of this petition Hillsborough is being discussed in the house of commons today.

Justice for the 96

Being debated today in the commons with "secret papers" being pledged to be released, e-petition worked at least.

I really dont see what there is too debate? The papers need to be released. Other than that its the Tories covering there backs surly?

[RichC]

you need to start it off with something i.e. a debate in the commons, it's a step in the right direction. They've pledged full disclosure of the documents, whether that happens or not is to be seen.
