To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what consideration was given to including in the Criminal Justice Bill the legislation implementing recommendations contained in Lord Justice Taylor's final report into the Hillsborough disaster, announced by him on 12 November, Official Report, column 355;(2) on what date the decision was taken to implement the recommendations contained in Lord Justice Taylor's final report into the Hillsborough disaster, announced by him on 12 November,
Official Report, column 355.
The Criminal Justice Bill is concerned with the treatment of offenders and the administration of justice rather than the creation of new offences. We decided in October to legislate along the lines which Lord Justice Taylor recommended. We are now considering how the offences should be formulated and will introduce legislative proposals as soon as parliamentary time allows.
