Burnham calls for an end to government secrecy over Hillsborough
Sympathy: Burnham speaking at Anfield [LNB]Culture secretary Andy Burnham will today tell his Cabinet colleagues they must suspend the 30-year secrecy rule on all Hillsborough documents. [LNB]He wants police logs and Home Office dossiers in the public domain so ministers can decide whether a public inquiry is justified. [LNB]But before the meeting of Gordon Brown's top team in Glasgow he warned it would be difficult, adding: 'I am not in the business of making promises I can't keep.' [LNB]Mr Burnham also told the Liverpool Echo that the barracking he received at yesterday's Anfield memorial was 'completely understandable.' [LNB]The Merseyside-born Everton fan heard chants of 'Justice for the 96' rain down from the Kop in protest at the government's refusal to re-examine the tragedy. [LNB]'I fully understand the reaction of some sections of the stadium. If I hadn't gone into politics and was in the congregation at Anfield, my reaction might well have been the same. [LNB]'It was a difficult day for me but the Hillsborough families have had over 7,000 far worse days.'[LNB] City of sorrows - 20 years ago Ian Wooldridge shared in Liverpool's griefDolores Steele in one of the most emotional accounts of that fateful dayMatt Barlow writes for the first time about his anguish of that tragic dayThe horrors of Hillsborough: 'The pitch looked like a battlefield'JEFF POWELL ON HILLSBOROUGH: That sun-kissed Saturday will haunt me foreverHillsborough remembered 20 years on: I'll never forget their screams...VIDEO: As Liverpool stands still, Rafa Benitez discusses the tragedyVIDEO: Anfield star Carra speaks on 20th anniversary of Hillsborough [LNB]
