Written statement on Hillsborough: Bishop James Jones Review

Amber Rudd (Home Secretary):In April 2016, at the conclusion of the fresh inquests into the deaths which resulted from the Hillsborough stadium disaster on 15 April 1989, Bishop James Jones was commissioned by my predecessor, the Rt Hon Member for Maidenhead, to produce a report on the Hillsborough families’ experiences.

 

Since then Bishop James has met many of the Hillsborough families and discussed his review. Those discussions have helped shape the terms of reference for the review (attached), which I am publishing today.

 

It is envisaged that Bishop James Jones will complete his review and produce his report in spring 2017. This report will then be published
