Met Chief refuses to condemn Hillsborough police until inquiry report
A caller asks the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, when he will be giving a statement to the Independent Police Complaints Commission about what he saw on the day of the Hillsborough disaster.
Sir Bernard, then a South Yorkshire police officer, was on duty at Sheffield Boys' Club where relatives waited for news of loved ones.
The Met Chief tells Nicky Campbell that he will await for the outcome of the latest inquiry before speaking out about how the police behaved that day, saying he's happy to talk to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) about his role at Hillsborough, but says he hasn't been approached yet.
"If it's shown officers have dishonestly changed statements then I will condemn it," Sir Bernard said.
