Government response

●No formal government response recorded

The Index has not yet recorded a verbatim government response to this recommendation.

Site note: A full-text search of The National Archives’ Discovery catalogue for the phrase “Hillsborough Independent Panel” returns two records in the whole catalogue: series HO 536, the Panel’s archived website, and a House of Lords Journal Office entry for the command paper. Neither describes central government documents disclosed to the Panel, or records transferred with the Panel’s agreed redactions retained. The same search returns HO 536, so the query works. Searched 19 September 2026.

Delivery

No statement on delivery from The National Archives has been found in the sources searched. This is separate from the response above.
