Troubles bill to be discussed in Parliament
The Labour government has been criticised over delays in passing the bill
The government's Northern Ireland Troubles Bill is expected to be discussed in the House of Commons on Tuesday.
The bill seeks to deal with the unresolved legacy of the decades-long violent conflict.
The bill was first introduced to Parliament last year following agreement on a joint framework with the Irish government.
On Monday it was announced that the Attorney General must provide consent for any serious prosecutions related to the Troubles under changes to the planned legislation.
It is among a series of amendments, external the government has tabled for the legislation.
A carry-over extension of the bill is happening on Tuesday and will be followed by a small debate.
It will then be voted on by MPs next week and if passed, it will move to the House of Lords for further consideration by peers.
The Labour government has faced criticism over delays in passing the bill as well as questions over some of its contents.
It seeks to replace the previous Conservative government's contentious 2023 Legacy Act, which introduced a ban on inquests and civil actions related to Troubles-era incidents.
