The document titled 'Questions on Decommissioning' outlines a series of inquiries regarding the legislative and operational framework for the decommissioning process in Northern Ireland. It seeks clarity on the parliamentary timetable for passing relevant legislation and the structure and membership of the Verification Commission, including whether it will include representatives from the British and Irish governments or be composed entirely of external members. The document questions whether an initial, partially staffed Commission has been considered and inquires about the Commission's terms of reference and powers, including whether it will act independently of the governments and possess authority to enter, search, or require information. It also asks if international comparisons, such as the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT), have been investigated. Further questions address the progress on draft regulations and schemes by the Irish and British governments, the extent of preparatory work before paramilitary involvement, and procedures for Sinn Féin's potential entry into the process. The document seeks details on the timetable and staging of decommissioning, remedies for non-compliance by paramilitary parties, and provisions if any paramilitary group exits or is expelled from the process.
