'Hillsborough Law' backed by chief coroner

Families of the 96 should be given legal aid at the inquests in which police or public bodies are involved, the chief coroner for England and Wales has said.
Peter Thornton QC will include the recommendation in his annual report.

Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham called for a Hillsborough Law after the families' 27 year fight for justice.

The government said funding support was available ''in the most important cases'' and more than £1.5m was spent on legal aid last year.
