What this vote was about

On 18 November 2025 MPs gave a Second Reading to the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, meaning they approved its general principles and allowed it to progress. The Bill changes how the legacy of the Troubles is dealt with, including removing the conditional immunity scheme created by the previous Government's 2023 Act and restoring the ability to hold inquests and bring civil claims for Troubles-related incidents. The Second Reading passed by 320 votes to 105, so the Bill moved on to its next stages of scrutiny.
