A former Conservative MP is facing calls to be stripped of his knighthood after the Hillsborough Independent Panel revealed he was one of the sources for The Sun's "The Truth" article in 1989, which contained lies about Liverpool fans in the disaster
Labour MP John Mann has written to David Cameron calling for the Forfeiture Committee to strip former Tory MP Tory Sir Irvine Patnick of his knighthood for his role in reporting of the events of the Hillsborough disaster.
The Hillsborough Independent Panel described his testimony as one of the sources of "despicable untruth" that vilified the victims. John Mann MP said:
"The shameful and disgusting behaviour of Sir Irvine Patnick is a significant feature in the Hillsborough independent Panel Report and his knighthood should be removed immediately.
"David Cameron should now do the right thing and take the necessary steps to do this.
Fred Goodwin brought the honours system in to disrepute and we now know that Sir Irvine Patnick has done the same and appropriate action should be taken”.
