Quote:
British troops and veterans will be given stronger legal protections against prosecution, Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt will announce.
The new law would protect them from investigation over actions on the battlefield abroad after 10 years, except in "exceptional circumstances".
Ms Mordaunt said it would prevent "repeated or unfair investigations".
