Julian Lewis MP says it would be a "retrograde step" if a consultation on legacy issues in NI fails to consider statute of limitations for those involved on both sides of the Troubles

The chairman of the Defence Select Committee, Julian Lewis, has said it would be a "retrograde step" if a consultation on legacy issues in Northern Ireland fails to consider a statute of limitations for those involved on both sides of the Troubles. Mr Lewis said ministers "can't always have your cake and eat it", as he again called for action on the issue to protect British veterans from prosecution for their action during the Troubles. Vinny spoke to Julian Lewis MP this morning.
