in 2009, after the memorial service at anfield, the then culture minister andy burnham called for thesaster. three years later, the hillsborough independent panel reported back with shocking conclusions about when the victims died. the families say that, for 23 years, they've never had the truth. do you now feel that that's changed for them and this is the truth? in the process of the panel's work, on more than one occasion the families have said to me that this is the first time that they feel they've ever been taken seriously and that anybody has ever really listened to them. if today says one thing to the world, we are vindicated in our search for the truth. despite the inquest coroner's insistence on a 3.15pm cut—off point for all those who died, the panel determined that 41 victims could have survived had they received timely medical treatment. indeed, the new evidence that we are presented with today makes clear in my view that these families have suffered a double injustice. prime minister david cameron apologised. home secretary theresa may ordered a new criminal inquiry into
