The debate was triggered when more than 139,000 people signed an e-petition for the full release of 40,000 documents relating to a tragedy which took the lives of 96 innocent Liverpool fans.

These papers include cabinet minutes which campaigners want releasing in an "unredacted, unedited and uncensored form".

The Government, which appealed in the High Court against full disclosure, insists it has every intention of releasing all papers to the Hillsborough Independent Panel.

A spokesman said: "The Government has confirmed its commitment to full transparency about the Hillsborough disaster through full public disclosure.

"The Government is happy for all the papers, including cabinet papers, to be released as soon as the panel so decides, in consultation with the families.

"We expect them to be shared with the Hillsborough families first and then to the wider public."

However, petitioners are demanding that the information given out is not pre-filtered before being handed to the families.

Prime Minister David Cameron has now apparently added his support to full disclosure.

If the House of Commons votes in favour, cabinet documents would reveal discussions held by then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the days that followed our FA Cup semi-final with Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

Steve Rotheram, Labour MP for Liverpool Walton, will submit a motion in the House of Commons on Monday and, unless Home Secretary Theresa May gives it her approval, there will then be a Commons vote.

Mr Rotheram said a vote in favour would be "a major a step towards finally achieving justice for the 96".

Chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group Margaret Aspinall said: "It's important that we get these cabinet minutes. You can't have the whole truth of Hillsborough without them and we've been shouting to have them released for 22 years. We hope all the documents will be released without censorship."

The debate is due to begin at 7pm BST on Monday.
