Northern Ireland Troubles Bill: Opposition Reasoned Amendment

Government Bill Foreign Affairs

What this vote was about

On 18 November 2025 MPs debated the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, the Government's law to change how the legacy of the Troubles is handled. This vote was on a "reasoned amendment" moved by the Conservative Opposition, which sought to block the Bill at Second Reading. The Opposition objected that scrapping the conditional immunity scheme from the previous Government's 2023 legacy Act, and restoring inquests and civil claims, would leave military veterans facing possible prosecution decades later while former paramilitaries were largely untouched. MPs rejected the reasoned amendment by 327 votes to 165, so the Opposition's attempt to stop the Bill failed and it proceeded to its Second Reading vote.
