The Government is under pressure to release all documents relating to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, including confidential Cabinet minutes, after MPs backed a motion calling for full disclosure.
After an emotionally charged debate, triggered by an online petition signed by 140,000 people, the Commons approved the motion tabled by backbench MPs without a vote.
Home Secretary Theresa May told the chamber: "I will do everything in my power to ensure the families and the public get the truth."
Some 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives in the crush at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield where they had gone to watch their team's FA Cup semi-final tie against Nottingham Forest.
Mrs May said the Government would release the papers to the Hillsborough Independent Panel. The panel, chaired by Bishop of Liverpool James Jones, was set up to look at the options for creating an archive of Hillsborough material and ensuring the maximum possible public disclosure of the information. It began its work in February last year.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said earlier it was a matter for the panel to decide when to pass on the official documents to the Hillsborough families or to publish them more widely.
The debate was led by Labour MP Steve Rotheram, a former lord mayor of Liverpool, who called for David Cameron to make a public apology for the failures of government at the time of the disaster.
Mrs May told MPs: "Let me say here and now, in this House and on the record, that as Home Secretary I will do everything in my power to ensure the families and the public get the truth.
"As a Government we fully support the Hillsborough Independent Panel and the process the panel is leading to disclose the documents telling the whole story. No Government papers will be withheld from the panel, no attempts to suppress publication will be made, no stone left unturned."
She said there may be some redactions, but stressed that any decision to remove details would be a matter for the panel.
