EDM number 547 in 2012-13, proposed by George Galloway on 18/09/2012.
Categorised under the topic of Sports.

That this House believes the cover-up by South Yorkshire police officers of the truth about the Hillsborough disaster is an outrage; further believes that this cover-up slurred Liverpool fans in general and those who so tragically died in particular; supports the call by Richard Wells, former Chief Constable of South Yorkshire after the disaster, for police officers involved in the comprehensive lies that were told by the police to be prosecuted; demands the resignation of Sir Norman Bettison, currently Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, as the highest ranking serving police officer who was centrally involved in the events in South Yorkshire police force following the disaster; and calls for an early meeting of the Forfeiture Committee to consider whether his knighthood is any longer appropriate.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs.
