That the Parliament notes the introduction of the Public Office (Accountability) Bill 2025, which is also referred to as the "Hillsborough Law", to the House of Commons in September 2025; understands that the Bill seeks to ensure that no family has again to fight the state to find the truth, reflecting what it sees as a moral purpose and a rare moment of unity across the UK Parliament; notes that the legislation would establish a statutory duty of candour for public authorities and officials, guarantee parity of legal representation for bereaved families at inquests and inquiries and replace the outdated common law offence of "misconduct in public office"; believes that the values underpinning this legislation, which are truth, fairness, candour, accountability and equality before the law, form the foundation of a just society and are essential for rebuilding public trust in institutions; further believes that implementing the duty of candour represents a significant cultural change, affirming transparency and responsibility as expectations of those who hold public office; expresses concern that, without legislative consent from the Scottish Parliament, families in Scotland could be left disadvantaged compared with those in England and Wales, where non-means-tested legal aid and guaranteed legal representation will be provided, thereby risking what it sees as the creation of a two-tier system of access to justice across the UK; recognises that the legislation serves a wider preventive purpose, helping to ensure that families, whistle-blowers and ordinary citizens are never left powerless in seeking truth and accountability; believes that this Bill represents a landmark in the pursuit of justice, reaffirming that no person in Scotland should be denied equality before the law, and calls on the Scottish Government to confirm its support for the Public Office (Accountability) Bill 2025 in full, bring forward a legislative consent motion at the earliest opportunity, ensuring that its provisions, including those relating to legal representation and legal aid, apply equally in Scotland, set out a clear timetable for doing so, publish its assessment of the resources required to deliver non-means-tested legal aid parity for families in Scotland, and engage directly with those affected, including bereaved families, legal aid providers, and organisations representing whistle-blowers, to ensure that Scotland’s approach is comprehensive and true to the spirit and intent of the Bill.
