The Home Secretary rules out an inquiry into clashes with police at Orgreave during the UK miners' strike in 1984.

South Yorkshire MPs John Healey and Kevin Barron said in a joint statement that the "shock decision by the Government not to go ahead with a statutory inquiry or an independent revieew into Orgreave is a betrayal of the families that have campaigned so long for justice.

"It is an early stain on Theresa May's premiership and a shameful abdication of responsibility by the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd.

" Former miners, their families and communities have waited decades for the truth, and they will be deeply disappointed by today's announcement."

The former Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers has supported the government's decision not to hold an inquiry into the clash between police and miners at Orgreave in 1984.

Speaking in the Commons Ms Villiers said that public inquiries "too often cost huge amounts of money, take many years and don't even answer the question they're asked".

A West Yorkshire MP has called for the merging of the West and South Yorkshire Police forces following the Government's decision not to hold an inquiry into the 'Battle of Orgreave'.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd today rejected calls for a Hillsborough-style public inquiry into clashes between striking miners and the police in 1984.

Campaigners said officers led by South Yorkshire Police were heavy-handed and manufactured statements.  

The Conservative MP for Elmet and Rothwell, Alec Shelbrooke said the name of the "South Yorkshire Police" had tarnished the reputation of frontline officers.

Hillsborough campaigner Margaret Aspinall said she is "disappointed for families" there will be no inquiry into the so-called "Battle of Orgreave" but urged them "to keep fighting".

Thousands of miners and police clashed at the Yorkshire coking site in 1984.

Orgreave campaigners have accused South Yorkshire Police of using excessive force and manufacturing evidence. 

The Hillsborough inquests, which concluded in April, were told that the same force altered statements five years later to deflect blame onto Liverpool supporters.

Hillsborough families are among those who backed calls for a full public inquiry or independent review into events at Orgreave.

Margaret Aspinall from the Hillsborough Family Support Group called on the home secretary "to go back to the drawing board" and urged Orgreave families "to do what we have had to do".

Chris Matheson accuses Amber Rudd of "leading families up the garden path" over Orgreave.

The South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Dr Alan Billings, says he's shocked and dismayed by the decision not to hold an inquiry into events at Orgreave.

Reacting to the statement from the Home Secretary Amber Rudd, the Commissioner said he was not convinced by the reasons given for refusing an investigation.

Mr Billings said the former miners and the former mining communities in South Yorkshire deserve an explanation as to what happened on that day and where Orgreave fits in the wider story of the Miners' Strike.

He added that South Yorkshire police were ready to co-operate in any enquiry.

The home secretary is accused of an "establishment stitch-up" after announcing there will be no inquiry into the so-called Battle of Orgreave during the 1984 Miners' Strike.

But Amber Rudd told former shadow home secretary Andy Burnham he was "entirely wrong" and she had made her decision "honestly based on the evidence".

Labour's Andy Burnham, shadow home secretary until a few weeks ago, says that an IPCC investigation found evidence of perjury and perverting the course of justice and that "in the last month new evidence has emerged" of orchestration of violence by police commanders and the mass manufacture of police statements.

"Aren't we right in concluding that the establishment stitch up that she's announced is nothing more than a nakedly political act?" he asks

"No," says Amber Rudd. Mr Burnham is "entirely wrong, he chooses to politicise it". 

She says she's met with campaigners and had a "frank exchange of information" and made her decision "honestly, based on the evidence"

The Home Secretary has been setting out why there'll be no inquiry into events at Orgreave.

She said:

• Despite the forceful accounts and arguments provided by the campaigners and former miners who were present that day, about the effect that these events have had on them, ultimately there were no deaths or wrongful convictions.
•  The campaigners say that had the consequences of the events at Orgreave been addressed properly at the time, the tragic events at Hillsborough would never have happened five years later. That is not a conclusion which I believe can be reached with any certainty.
• The campaign and their supporters explained to me when I met them that they want to get to the bottom of what happened on the 18 June 1984, and that only by doing so will their trust, and that of their community, be restored in the police. However, there have been very significant changes in the oversight of policing since 1984, at every level, including major reforms to criminal procedure, changes to public order policing and practice, stronger external scrutiny and greater local accountability. 
• With regards to the external scrutiny of complaints against the police, this was strengthened by the creation, in 1985, of the Police Complaints Authority which was replaced in 2004 by the more effective Independent Police Complaints Commission and in turn will be replaced by the Office for Police Conduct in 2017. The exemplary standards of behaviour expected of everyone who works in policing were reinforced by the introduction of a statutory Code of Ethics, laid before this House in 2014. 
• Lastly, the introduction of directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners in 2012 has given the public a voice in shaping their local policing priorities and improved the accountability of police leadership. 

Rotherham MP Sarah Champion blasts the decision as one of 'contempt'.
