A Statement by the family of Daniel Morgan
15 JUNE 2023
In light of today’s response from the present Government to the recommendations of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel (DMIP),the family have made the following statement:
“We, the family of Daniel Morgan, are saddened but not surprised by the empty 
words from this Government in response to serious and far-reaching implications 
of the Panel’s findings and recommendations.
“This is in keeping with our experience of this administration and its 
predecessors over the decades, reflecting an unwillingness to acknowledge and 
confront the reality of institutionalised police corruption that has been our 
lived experience of over the last 36 years since Daniel’s murder in 1987.
“We consider that we have done more than could be asked of us to the bring that 
reality to light, so that it may be addressed by those with the responsibility to do so.
“In the event, this Government has chosen to duck the challenge posed to them by 
the Panel’s report. We look to their successors, if they wish to do so, to pick 
up that challenge when they come into office.”
