Writing Peace: The National Archives of the UK (TNA)

A memo from Edward Oakden, Private Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Defence, and Northern Ireland, to John Major, British Prime Minister. The memo details conflicting concerns about decommissioning from the UUP [Ulster Unionist Party] and SDLP [Social Democratic and Labour Party]. It covers the outcome of a meeting between Patrick Mayhew, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, and David Trimble, UUP leader, in which Trimble agreed a summer recess in the multi-party talks seemed a good option. There is a handwritten annotation on the first page by Major.
