§ Mrs. Curtis-ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will place those in Liverpool City Library those documents held by his Department relating to the Hillsborough disaster. [68854]
§ Mr. BoatengAs much of the evidence as possible considered by Lord Justice Stuart-Smith's scrutiny of the Hillsborough disaster has already been placed in the Library and it is open to Members to arrange for their constituents to view it there. We have no plans to place copies of the material in Liverpool City Library and I am sorry that my reply to my right hon. Friend the Member for Birkenhead (Mr. Field), 26 October 1998,Official Report, column 3, gave that impression. I subsequently wrote to my right hon. Friend on 7 December setting out the position and placed a copy of that letter in the Library.
