They usually fight tooth and nail against releasing Cabinet stuff as a matter of course, probably to prevent people asking for them by making such a fuss over any request (irrespective of the actual contents) that people wont bother, and then release them en masse when the secrecy period is up (and everyone that can be blamed is dead). The FOI request for these documents took place in 2009 (ie: under Labour) and was rejected out of hand then, so its not just a matter of those bloody tories.

It's irrelevant, it's a fucking disgrace that they are even considering delaying this info any more than they already have.

Its not irrelevant to point out that they invariably (and of whatever government) do this when asked for information of this kind and which has been at the level that this information has been at, though I agree it is a disgrace.

What I meant was it's irrelevant Labour acted the cunt to. The Tories, ie Thatcher and major, were part of the original cover up. I ain't trying to score points for Burnham and his mates, everyone of the politicians who helped cover this up, of whatever politicla hue, should be in the dock aswell.

Yep, and/or there was more or less open discussion of a 'protect the cops by getting the Sun to smear the dead' strategy ...

Fuck I have never considered the latter as a possibility...

A possible embarrassment is that (and this is from memory so my details may be sketchy) when Hurd spoke about the tragedy to the House he basically said "we are now going to make all-seater stadia mandatory". It was pointed out by some Labour backbenchers that this was rather pre-empting the supposedly independent judicial inquiry being carried out by Taylor and as a result Hurd back-pedalled this position over the next few days and was - publically at least - not making any big decisions until Taylor's interim report was released.
I think it's pretty clear that the all-seater decision either had been made, or was being signalled very clearly to Taylor. It was certainly what the big clubs who were planning the Premiership breakaway wanted. It would be interesting to see how explicitly the requirement that Taylor find in favour of all-seater stadia was being made - if that was discussed at cabinet level (which I'd guess it was).
The all-seater stadia thing has always been a red herring in terms of public safety (one of the biggest mass deaths at football was the Bradford fire - in a seated stand - and I still wouldn't sit in the Main stand at Crystal Palace, a death trap basically) but a lot of rich powerful people wanted it.

Long shot, but we know the corrupt relationship between Number 10, the police and Murdoch that's being partially exposed now goes back to the Thatcher era ...

I don't think it's too much of a long shot tbh, it sounds very believable. Not necessarily corruption involving bungs, but certainly intimate political relationships.
