NI Troubles amnesty plan changes.

Speaking after the speech, the DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, whose party had been opposed to the original amnesty plans, said he would have to wait to see the contents of the bill.

"I am not sure it will reflect the initial proposals," he told BBC News NI.

"I want to see does it offer the chance for innocent victims to see those who perpetrated their murderous deeds against loved ones prosecuted?

The government has come under mounting pressure from its own back benches to act quicker in order to prevent any further prosecutions of former soldiers.

The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) has yet to make decisions on 12 veterans as part of a wider legacy caseload.

There are also about 1,200 unsolved Troubles-related killings currently with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), which would take 20 years to work through.

Just a shame that's not a two way street and those wrongly given protection from prosecution are not included in that.
