The Conservatives have said they had “no plans to conduct an inquiry into Orgreave”.
Meawhile, the Liberal Democrats said they were “supportive of calls for an inquiry”.
A spokesperson for Reform UK, whose leader Nigel Farage was this week campaigning in former mining areas of Barnsley, said: “In principle we support the idea of an inquiry, but it depends to an extent on its frames of reference.”
Amber Rudd told MPs in 2016 policing had “changed fundamentally” since the 1984-85 miners’ strike, adding that “there would therefore be very few lessons to learn” from a review.
She said that despite the “forceful accounts” from miners involved in the Battle of Orgreave about its lasting impact on them, “ultimately there were no deaths or wrongful convictions”.
Sir Keir Starmer, who is now the Labour leader, said at the time that the government’s decision was “a big mistake”.
