Public Sector: Accountability
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will undertake a public consultation on the proposed duty of candour.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
The Government has committed to implement a ‘Hillsborough Law’ which will place a legal duty of candour on public servants and authorities, and criminal sanctions for those who do not comply.
We remain fully committed to bringing in this legislation and we will continue to work with families and stakeholders.
