Chester MP's tribute to Anne Williams

Following the death of Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams, Chester’s MP, Stephen Mosley, who worked with Ms Williams on the justice campaign, has issued the following statement:

“Anne's focus and determination to discover the truth about that terrible day has long been an inspiration for many people including myself. I got to know Anne well over the past few years and it was an honour to lead a debate in Parliament about Kevin's death last year.

Anne never wavered in her fight and much of the progress made in getting justice for the 96 is down to her drive. I was so pleased that her 24 year campaign was vindicated last year by the findings of the Hillsborough Independent Panel and the overturning of Kevin's Inquest in December.

Whilst she told me that the publication of the Panel's Report was the best day of her life, it is sad that she did not live to see the conclusion of the campaign. Elected representatives like myself now have an extra duty to carry on her incredible work”.
