BBC Radio Sheffield NewsA group of MPs says if there's not to be a public inquiry into the policing of picketing at Orgreave during the miners strike in 1984, then maybe a committee of MPs could conduct an inquiry.

The MP's, including the Conservative Sir Edward Leigh, have written to the Home Secretary.
There's been no response from the Home Office.
