Labour to push police on Hillsborough
Labour will tomorrow demand emergency legislation to compel serving and retired police officers to testify to the Hillsborough Inquiry.
In a special Commons debate tomorrow, Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will offer to work with the Government to make sure all relevant witnesses are called.
It has also emerged that one of the most senior officials at the CPS, which is deciding whether South Yorkshire Police should be prosecuted over the disaster, was present at a meeting in 1990 where it was decided that it was not relevant to read all the eyewitness evidence. Mike Kennedy, operations director at the CPS, warned colleagues at the time that it could be "particularly embarrassing" if the public found that all the evidence had not been considered.
