give them a bloody chance binners, theyve only just (a few weeks ago) put the laws in place to be able to go after them. Sometimes the cynicism in here can be a bit choking 🙄
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is set to gain new powers after the House of Lords passed legislation prompted by the Hillsborough disaster and cover-up.
MPs approved the bill, which enables the IPCC to compel serving officers to give evidence in person, last week.
The IPCC could investigate up to 2,400 serving or retired officers as it examines the Hillsborough case.
Ministers say the bill is “essential to achieve justice” for the victims.
Home Office minister Lord Taylor of Holbeach told peers: “The bill before the House today is essential to achieve justice for the 96 innocent men, women and children who died as a result of the Hillsborough disaster.
“This short bill provides the IPCC with the tools it needs to and marks one step further along the road to justice for the victims of Hillsborough. All who support this aim will, I’m sure, support this bill.”
