The families of those killed at Hillsborough will today see thousands of official documents relating to the football disaster for the first time.

The Hillsborough Independent Panel has overseen the release of unpublished papers from the Government, police, emergency services, Sheffield City Council and the South Yorkshire coroner.

More than 400,000 pages will be released to the families of the 96 football fans who died in Britain's deadliest sporting disaster. They will be the first to see the documents.

David Cameron will then address MPs in the House of Commons, and the public will be able to see the documents on a dedicated website later.

The panel, chaired by the Bishop of Liverpool, the Rt Rev James Jones, overseeing the move will release an accompanying report explaining the contents of the documents.

It was April 15 1989 when 96 Liverpool supporters died in a crush at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium, as the team were to play Nottingham Forest in an FA Cup semi-final.

A previous report into the disaster, published in 1990, stated that the main reason for the disaster was a failure of "police control" but the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was insufficient evidence to bring a prosecution.

The victims' families have always claimed that it is an injustice that no individual or organisation has been held fully accountable for the disaster.

The families will see the documents at Liverpool Cathedral and it is expected the families will meet in the coming days to decide what action, if any, to take.
