Speaking about the report into the Hillsborough disaster, Lord MacDonald, a Liberal Democrat peer and former director of public prosecutions, said the culture of secrecy in British political and public life is "absolutely suffocating".
"We've got to get away from this culture which is terribly old fashioned," he told the Today programme.
Lord Falconer, the former lord chancellor who now represents as a lawyer the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said the revelations are "very, very shocking".
He told presenter James Naughtie that the inquest system at the time "was hopeless and still requires improvement".
