World · Troubles legacy bill passes Commons by 330 votes to 178

Legislation to deal with the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland has cleared the House of Commons, with MPs voting 330 to 178 in favour after two days of debate over hundreds of amendments. The bill, which would replace the previous government's contentious 2023 Legacy Act, will now face scrutiny in the House of Lords that is expected to continue into next year.
