The Hillsborough Law would introduce a legal obligation for public authorities to cooperate and tell the truth in inquiries. However, bereaved families and some Labour MPs have raised concerns the heads of security services would be able to exempt MI5 and MI6 officers from disclosing information. Nandy insisted security services would not be exempt from the legislation but she told the BBC the challenge was also ensuring officers, who often held confidential information, could continue to do their jobs.
