Today we've reported how a high court judge is set to preside over new inquests for the 96 who lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster.

Attorney General Dominic Grieve said he expected a Yorkshire coroner to ask a high court judge to oversee the re-run of the inquests that originally returned an 'accidental death' verdict.

In a letter to Birkenhead MP Frank Field he also all but confirmedthat the families would not have to pay their own legal costs saying that government would wish to ensure that the inquests are "properly funded".

Below is the letter:
