Hillsborough Law to pass Commons before Starmer leaves office after intelligence services exemption removed

After months of delay, the government has scheduled the Hillsborough Law's remaining Commons stages for Tuesday, paving the way for its passage before the summer recess.

• The government scheduled the bill's remaining Commons stages for Tuesday, 14 July, after agreeing a new amendment that removes the intelligence services opt-out.
• Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy told the Commons on 8 July he was confident the bill would return "in the coming days."
• Charlotte Hennessy, whose father died in the Hillsborough disaster, said the prime minister had fulfilled his promise to implement the law.
• The bill was delayed in January after disagreements over how a duty of candour would apply to intelligence agencies.
