Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his Department has signed up to the Charter for Families Bereaved through Public Tragedy as recommended in the Hillsborough report.

The twenty-five points of learning, including the Charter, made by Bishop James Jones in his report on the experiences of the Hillsborough families span a number of departments and organisations which are considering their respective responses. The Home Office is coordinating those responses and the Government will therefore provide a full response in due course.
