Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:00 pm on 1 November 2016.
Llywydd, we all saw what happened with the Hillsborough disaster and the length of time it took for the truth to come out. Continued delays on Orgreave are unacceptable. It is very odd that 30 years is too long to conduct an inquiry into what happened here, and yet 30 years isn’t long enough to release the Cabinet papers with the instructions to operational policing at that event. I would suggest that the Home Secretary reconsiders her view in terms of the options that she has to consider in the best interests of bringing communities together right across the UK and, in particular, Yorkshire, because this will not go away. If it was wrong then, it is still wrong today.
