British Government summary record of multi-party talks on 29 October 1996

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

This document summarises the session on 29 October 1996 setting out the Irish Government and Labour positions on decommissioning. Nora Owen, the Minister for Justice, set out the familiar Irish position. Labour challenged the overall requirement of decommissioning given disarmament did not prevent previous conflict, though it still accepted the International Body’s proposition. The DUP raised procedural concerns over the number of Irish supporters in the delegation, but the Chairman ruled their interpretation did not apply to Governments as it did Parties. A convention was agreed on voluntary limitation after reluctance from the Irish. The DUP had suggested they would not have remained in the talks otherwise. Agreement over the British Government’s decommissioning paper was close before the session on 30 October.
