Hillsborough law will mean serious wrongdoing is punished, says Lammy
The proposed Hillsborough law aims to ensure that public officials are held accountable for serious wrongdoing, including the deliberate cover-up of state-related disasters. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Lord Chancellor David Lammy, the legislation will impose a duty on public servants to act with "honesty and integrity at all times," and those who fail to do so could face up to two years in jail. This move comes in response to concerns from Hillsborough campaigners that the law might be weakened. Lammy's article in the Guardian emphasizes the importance of this law in ensuring that the guilty can no longer escape justice, and that public officials, from the lowest to the highest levels, will face "serious punishments for serious wrongdoing."
