In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Tony Blair, David Trimble MP seeks further clarification and progress on the government's proposals regarding decommissioning. Trimble raises concerns about the timeline for Sinn Féin to end violence, the definition of a genuine cease-fire, and the potential for Sinn Féin to gain an unfair advantage in the negotiations. He emphasizes the need for a clear and immediate operational framework for the Verification Commission and insists on parallel disarmament to ensure no concessions are exchanged for weapons. Trimble also stresses the importance of the government's commitment to the total disarmament of all paramilitary organizations and the necessity of building confidence in both the British and Irish governments' determination to fulfill these commitments.
