Should the Prime Minister scrap spy chiefs' veto on the Hillsborough Law?
Yes 100%No 0%1 vote cast
The Hillsborough Law introduces a duty of candour requiring public authorities, including MI5, MI6, and GCHQ, to tell the truth to public inquiries without withholding information. Spy chiefs previously held a proposed veto allowing them to block spies from giving evidence on national security grounds. Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to scrap this veto, requiring court applications like public interest immunity instead, following backlash from bereaved families and MPs, to advance the delayed legislation.
