Govt To Appeal Hillsborough Files Release

[dipsydoodle]

A decision to release private Government papers relating to the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 is to be appealed by the Cabinet Office.

Earlier this month, the Information Commissioner (ICO) said the confidential papers detailing discussion the then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had in the aftermath of the disaster should be made public.

In total, 96 people died in the crush at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in April 1989.

The Hillsborough Independent Panel, set up by Labour in 2009, is deciding what information on the tragedy should be released to the public.
