It is hoped the legislation will be in place by April
Liverpool will “change this country permanently” with the full adoption of a Hillsborough Law, according to one of its leading advocates. This summer, during the first King’s Speech of a Labour government for 14 years, it was confirmed the legislation named in honour of the 97 Liverpool fans who died at the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, and their families and friends who have campaigned so tirelessly, would go ahead.
Mr Burnham appeared alongside Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor for the Liverpool City Region, who approached him about addressing the Kop for the 20th anniversary of the disaster in 2009. Reflecting on the progress so far, Mr Burnham said: “This city will change this country permanently when that Hillsborough law gets on the statute book. That is a massive change that this city and its people will have brought about.
