British MPs to examine controversial 'recognition payments' report

Controversial plans to deal with the legacy of the Troubles are to be examined by a group of Westminster MPs, it was announced today.

The Eames/Bradley report - which contained the emotive proposal to give £12,000 (€13,549) in 'recognition payments' to all those bereaved during the conflict, including the relatives of dead paramilitaries - is to be scrutinised by the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee.
