[reddevil157]

Done,,, got the daughter in law father to do it for me

Seems silly that you have to reside in the uk to sign it wit the world wide fan base that LFC have

It's crazy that you have to reside in Uk to sign, but did try lads. If there's a way round it, do let us know.
Looking in me phone to see if anyone can do it for me.

As a football fan signed and sent to everyone on my email list.

Done and passed onto many others, nice to see all coming together on this.

[andy1967]

Done. RIP 96.

[opsmonkey]

you need to reside in the UK as it's being raised by MP's in Parliament, so they will only act if UK residents sign it.. believe it or not it needs 100'000 signatures to be mentioned in parliament..

there is a way around it.. use any UK address.. shop, friends house, relatives house, your teams football ground address etc

To be honest, I dont think this will need overseas signings, but it cant hurt.

[mark36]

Done and over 42000 signatures so nearly half way.
Come on guys lets all get on board and hopefully justice can be seen to be done and the families may get some kind of closure.God knows they deserve it.

Quite a number for such a short time, looks like quite a few have joined in the call along with Brian Irvine. Joey Barton has used his usual twitter route to highlight support and the Liverpool manager has called also BBC News - Hillsborough files: Kenny Dalglish in full disclosure call

BTW Digital Kaos ranks quite well on google with the search term of OP's title so the more supporters we can draw all the better for the petition

[Baldy Bob]

Hillsborough: E-petition moving up
Dalglish backs secret files fight
An online petition calling for Hillsborough disaster Cabinet papers to be released has reached 100,000 signatures and forced a Commons debate.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish and Newcastle United player Joey Barton used Twitter to mobilise support for the Home Office website petition.

It follows a ruling by information commissioner Christopher Graham that the papers should be published.

Under government rules e-petitions with 100,000 signatures must be debated.

Celebrities including former Liverpool player Michael Owen, musician Billy Bragg, actor Simon Pegg and the comedian Dara O Briain have added their names to the petition on the Home office website.

The Cabinet Office has said it will appeal against the information commissioner's publication decision because it believes the Hillsborough Independent Panel, established under the Labour government, should oversee the disclosure of documents relating to the 1989 tragedy in which 96 Liverpool fans died.

A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "The e-petition has now reached 100,000 signatures and the government will notify the Backbench Business Committee in the House of Commons in order that the committee can consider its suitability for debate when Parliament returns in September.

"The e-petition will remain live, and people will be able to continue adding their signatures. The government will respond to those who have signed the e-petition in due course."

Well done and thank you to all who signed the petition, we reached the milestone, now lets hope the MP's/Government do the right thing finally which they have failed to do so far.

The families and those tragically lost 96 deserve Justice......YNWA

all it means is it will be debated in parliament,then they will decide how and what info general public needs to know.(coz lets face it mp's are the most sleazy corrupt individuals you are ever likely to come across) has been proven since cromwell was in power.sorry lads and lasses you will only hear the facts they want you to hear, in my opinion after they have finished there will be even more questions than answers!

BBC News - Hillsborough disaster: Papers ***039;will be released***039;

another update............................................ ...................

The government has reiterated its "commitment to full transparency" over the release of Cabinet papers relating to the Hillsborough disaster. An online petition requesting their release has attracted more than 100,000 signatures, enough for a parliamentary debate to be considered.
But the government has insisted the papers will first be released to the panel which is examining the disaster.
Labour MP Andy Burnham said he would push for a parliamentary debate.
In a statement, the Cabinet Office said: "The government has confirmed its commitment to full transparency about the Hillsborough disaster through full public disclosure.
"All papers had previously been shared with the Hillsborough Independent Panel.
"The government is happy for all the papers to be released as soon as the panel so decides, in consultation with the families.
"We expect them to be shared with the Hillsborough families first and then to the wider public."
'Push things to a vote' Mr Burnham, who called for full disclosure of the documents in 2009, said he welcomed the "general tone of the statement" but remained cautious.
He added: "I will do everything I can together with the other Merseyside MPs to ensure [a debate] does happen.
"If we don't get the statements we need, we'll hold out and reserve our right to push things to a vote."
The Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, ruled in July that the papers should be published.
However, the government is appealing against that ruling, and said it wants them to be released to the panel first rather than all at once to the public.
It is understood the panel may put forward its recommendations on which papers should be released as early as the spring of next year.
