Enclosure: DUP response to the memorandum from the Chairmen on procedural matters

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, dated 2 December 1996, is a memo from the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) addressing procedural matters related to the negotiations. It outlines that all participants should have the right to table motions and amendments. The memo advocates that all motions related to the current agenda item must be debated and voted on, with the timing and sequence for taking motions determined by the Business Committee. The Business Committee should be granted the authority to impose limitations on the time for debate, based on factors such as the number of motions, the overall program of business, and the nature of the motion. If a motion is deemed irrelevant to the current matter, the Business Committee must provide an indicative time frame for when it will be addressed. The document underscores the procedural framework intended to ensure orderly and fair consideration of motions and amendments during the negotiations.
