The majority of MPs voted to introduce a presumption against prosecution in respect of conduct by British armed services personnel on overseas operations, and to require the consent of the Attorney General (or Advocate General for Northern Ireland) in respect of such prosecutions relating to criminal allegations over five years old.
MPs were considering the Overseas Operations (Service Personnel And Veterans) Bill[1].
The motion supported by a majority of MPs in this vote was:
-
That the Bill be now read a Second time.
Support for this motion enabled the Bill to continue on its path to becoming law.
