Hillsborough Justice Campaign

The motion

That the Parliament notes the findings of the independent panel that investigated the Hillsborough disaster; considers the findings to be shocking and distressing, in particular for the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who went to see a football match but tragically never came home, for the survivors and, more broadly, the people of Merseyside; believes that the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, which has fought for 23 years for the truth, has been completely vindicated and praises the campaigners for their tireless work; understands that the report demonstrates how the campaigners had been let down by the state, which, it argues, was guilty of multiple failures and cover-ups; expresses great concern that what it sees as a widespread and concerted cover-up could ever occur in the UK; understands the outrage of the people of Liverpool at the reported police corruption, political ineptitude and media vilification; believes that the reporting of the tragedy by The Sun will go down as one of the most shameful chapters in the annals of British media history; considers the belated apology by the then editor and the current editor to be hollow and insincere, and hopes that, now that the families have the truth, they can also get justice for John Alfred Anderson (age 62), Colin Mark Ashcroft (19), James Gary Aspinall (18), Kester Roger Marcus Ball (16), Gerard Bernard Patrick Baron (67), Simon Bell (17), Barry Sidney Bennett (26), David John Benson (22), David William Birtle (22), Tony Bland (22), Paul David Brady (21), Andrew Mark Brookes (26),Carl Brown (18), David Steven Brown (25), Henry Thomas Burke (47), Peter Andrew Burkett (24), Paul William Carlile (19), Raymond Thomas Chapman (50), Gary Christopher Church (19), Joseph Clark (29), Paul Clark (18), Gary Collins (22), Stephen Paul Copoc (20), Tracey Elizabeth Cox (23), James Philip Delaney (19), Christopher Barry Devonside (18), Christopher Edwards (29), Vincent Michael Fitzsimmons (34), Thomas Steven Fox (21), Jon-Paul Gilhooley (10), Barry Glover (27), Ian Thomas Glover (20), Derrick George Godwin (24), Roy Harry Hamilton (34), Philip Hammond (14), Eric Hankin (33), Gary Harrison (27), Stephen Francis Harrison (31), Peter Andrew Harrison (15), David Hawley (39), James Robert Hennessy (29), Paul Anthony Hewitson (26), Carl Darren Hewitt (17), Nicholas Michael Hewitt (16), Sarah Louise Hicks (19), Victoria Jane Hicks (15), Gordon Rodney Horn (20), Arthur Horrocks (41), Thomas Howard (39), Thomas Anthony Howard (14), Eric George Hughes (42), Alan Johnston (29), Christine Anne Jones (27), Gary Philip Jones (18), Richard Jones (25), Nicholas Peter Joynes (27), Anthony Peter Kelly (29), Michael David Kelly (38), Carl David Lewis (18), David William Mather (19), Brian Christopher Mathews (38), Francis Joseph McAllister (27), John McBrien (18), Marion Hazel McCabe (21), Joseph Daniel McCarthy (21), Peter McDonnell (21), Alan McGlone (28), Keith McGrath (17), Paul Brian Murray (14), Lee Nicol (14), Stephen Francis O'Neill (17), Jonathon Owens (18), William Roy Pemberton (23), Carl William Rimmer (21), David George Rimmer (38), Graham John Roberts (24), Steven Joseph Robinson (17), Henry Charles Rogers (17), Colin Andrew Hugh William Sefton (23), Inger Shah (38), Paula Ann Smith (26), Adam Edward Spearritt (14), Philip John Steele (15), David Leonard Thomas (23), Patrik John Thompson (35), Peter Reuben Thompson (30), Stuart Paul William Thompson (17), Peter Francis Tootle (21), Christopher James Traynor (26), Martin Kevin Traynor (16), Kevin Tyrrell (15), Colin Wafer (19), Ian David Whelan (19), Martin Kenneth Wild (29), Kevin Daniel Williams (15) and Graham John Wright (17), may they rest in peace.
