Northern Ireland Troubles Bill: Information for Members

17.08.2026 | News

You may be aware that Parliament is considering the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.

A number of veterans’ organisations and significant numbers of former senior military leaders, including our very own General Sir Peter Wall, have raised concerns about

aspects of the proposed legislation and its potential impact on veterans who served during Operation BANNER and other historical operations. A campaign called Shoulder to Shoulder has been established to provide information and to enable individuals to contact their Member of Parliament if they wish to do so. Please use the link below to visit the Shoulder to Shoulder website. It takes less than 2 minutes for you and/or your wider family to send a letter to your/their MP.

We recognise that many members of the Association and their wider family may wish to understand the issues being discussed and take a view.
