# Starmer expected to push through Hillsborough law in final week in power

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly set to use his last week in office to advance the Hillsborough law, which seeks to compel public authorities to cooperate with inquiries. The legislation is a key response to the 1989 stadium disaster that killed 97 people. Its passage would mark a major step toward accountability for victims' families.
