Cabinet Office: Committee will consider Hillsborough for debate

A Cabinet Office spokesman says that the issue of releasing Hillsborough information will be considered by the backbench business committee:

"The e-petition has now reached 100,000 signatures and the government will notify the backbench business committee in the House of Commons in order that the committee can consider its suitability for debate when parliament returns in September.

"The e-petition will remain live, and people will be able to continue adding their signatures. The government will respond to those who have signed the e-petition in due course."
