A senior Tory minister "hid in a cupboard" to avoid meeting the families of the Hillsborough disaster, Theresa May has said.
The former prime minster refused to name them as she made the claim.
She said meeting the relatives herself convinced her to pursue the work which led to the original inquest verdicts being overturned.
Ninety-seven Liverpool supporters died as a result of the April 1989 crush during the FA cup semi-final.
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, Mrs May said that when she became home secretary in 2010, not all of her ministerial colleagues were keen to meet the grieving families.
