MPs call for former British soldiers to be shielded from prosecution over Troubles-related deaths

BBC Radio Ulster - The Nolan Show, MPs call for former British soldiers to be shielded from prosecution over Troubles-related deaths

Call for British soldiers to be shielded from prosecution over Troubles-related deaths.

MPs have called for British soldiers to be shielded from prosecution over Troubles-related deaths. The controversial recommendation comes from House of Commons Defence Committee.

MPs have called for former British soldiers to be shielded from prosecution over Troubles-related deaths. The controversial recommendation comes from the House of Commons Defence Committee. It's backing what's called a statute of limitations for former ex security force members. That would mean no investigations, no prosecutions in cases going back before the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. But does the report also float the idea of a wider amnesty? It says it will be a matter for the next government to decide quote "whether the statute of limitations should also cover all Troubles-related incidents". Stephen spoke to Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly, MLA Dolores Kelly from the SDLP, former MLA Basil McCrea and commentator Ruth Dudley Edwards.

Also on the programme, Belfast's bus lanes have raked in £2.6M in less than two years - one camera alone has caught more than 22,000 motorists - we bring you that story.

And, footballer Joey Barton in FA ban over gambling - does football need to do more to address gambling sponsorship?
