00:00A Liverpool MP has raised concerns over the direction of the Hillsborough law as the government pauses the bill.
00:08Labour's Paula Barker welcomed the delay but pleaded with the Minister to continue to work with the families
00:14and bring the Hillsborough law back into this House so we can all pass it.
00:19The legislation was removed from the Commons timetable amid concerns intelligence services could avoid a duty of candour.
00:26Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer pledged to get the balance right on the proposed law,
00:32formerly the Public Office Accountability Bill, at a press conference on Monday morning.
00:38MP for West Derby Ian Byrne also welcomed the pause but pressed for a timeline on when the bill will return.
