However, lawyer Philip Barden, who has represented several ex-soldiers, claimed Army veterans were “put through the mill” in cases where there was “no evidence”.
“What we want is an independent process so its not the PPS and the DPP deciding in Northern Ireland who it is who should be prosecuted,” Barden told the programme.
“We wanted a Supreme Court judge as being the most independent person that we could conceive of – not being a political appointment.
“The government have come up with the attorney general of the UK, who of course makes many decisions to prosecute people.”
A spokesperson for the PPS said the organisation has “considerable experience in the prosecution of legacy cases”.
“We will continue to approach our decision-making with complete impartiality and independence and in accordance with our Code for Prosecutors.”
They added: “The proposed role for the Advocate General for Northern Ireland in relation to legacy prosecutions is a matter of government policy and ultimately for Parliament.”
