UK MPs back Northern Ireland Troubles legacy bill by 152-vote majority

The UK House of Commons passed the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill at third reading with a 152-vote majority, advancing a contentious plan to grant conditional immunity for Troubles-era offenses and halt future prosecutions. The bill faces opposition from victims' groups, Irish government, and all Northern Ireland parties, and now moves to the House of Lords where amendments are likely. Its passage would mark a significant shift in UK policy on legacy justice, potentially straining UK-Irish relations and community trust.
