To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the comments by Lord Taylor of Holbeach on 11 December (Official Report, col. 1027) that further documents relating to the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 had been discovered, what is in those documents; where they were held; when their existence was discovered; who discovered them; and whether they will be made public.[HL4155]
Answer
I met the noble Lord on 16 January and the Bishop of Liverpool, in his capacity as the Home Secretary’s adviser on Hillsborough, was also present. It was explained that
there are a limited number of documents in this category and with the Bishop of Liverpool’s agreement these have been catalogued within the Home Office and are being made available to the IPCC.
