The Government remains committed to engaging with the Hillsborough families on its overarching response to the Bishop James Jones\u2019 report on the experiences of the Hillsborough families, prior to its publication in due course.<\/p>
That commitment was reiterated by the Home Secretary in her response to the debate on 31 January concerning Crime and Neighbourhood Policing.<\/p>
The former Home Secretary, Rt Hon Priti Patel MP, wrote to the Hillsborough families in July 2021, via the Independent Office for Police Conduct, concerning plans for engagement with them on the Bishop\u2019s report. Families were directed to respond to the Home Office team which facilitates the arrangements for its engagement with the families.<\/p>
Separate from the Home Office\u2019s plans to engage with the bereaved families on the Government\u2019s response to the Bishop\u2019s wider report, Mr Glenn Taylor, who is conducting the independent pathology review of the response to Hillsborough, has met with former representatives of one of the Hillsborough family groups to seek their views and address any concerns they may have about the scope of the review. Further engagement with the Hillsborough families on the pathology review is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks. .<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4503", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Philp"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Philp"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-22T16:30:31.76Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Hillsborough Families' Experiences Review"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many times the Home Office Hillsborough Team has initiated contact with bereaved families.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4651", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Carden"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Liverpool, Walton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Carden"} ], "uin" : "147105"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1586233", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1586233/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
