Insiders say laws could be tightened around the presumption of innocence in a bid to make it far harder to bring charges in the first place.

Mr Williamson said: “We can start to put things in place to end this absolute tragedy of British service personnel being chased through the courts.

He added: “There isn’t a single silver bullet, it’s a combination of different things that we are actually going to have to look at doing.

“This isn’t just about Northern Ireland it’s about conflicts that have gone on since then but also conflicts in the future.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
