British Government summary record of multi-party talks on 28 October 1996

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

This document summarises talks on 28 October 1996 to discuss roles in upcoming statements on decommissioning. It states that the Business Committee meeting in the morning was attended by all political parties except for the Alliance boycott and that the DUP motion to disband the Committee was withdrawn. It details the meeting’s debate on conditions of the decommissioning programme. The Women’s Coalition focused on the unwinnable nature of the war and the need to open up democratic politics. The SDLP put decommissioning in the context of a broader political settlement rather than an imposed intervention. The Mitchell report’s role for future negotiation was emphasised. The UDP contested that Loyalist terrorism was protective and distinct from Republican violence and unilateral decommissioning was unacceptable. The Secretary of State later joined the PUP/UDP delegation to de-escalate concerns from Loyalists about prison system changes and cessation of Loyalist violence.
