David Trimble MP, in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Tony Blair on 30 June 1997, raises several concerns regarding the government's approach to the decommissioning of weapons and the inclusion of Sinn Féin in the peace talks. Trimble seeks clarification on the specific timelines for Sinn Féin to declare an end to violence and questions the adequacy of the six-week period for assessing a cease-fire. He insists that Sinn Féin must commit to disarmament parallel to the negotiations. Trimble also highlights the importance of avoiding unnecessary delays in setting up the Decommissioning Commission and ensuring that the process is not obstructed by procedural ambiguities or lack of consensus among the parties involved.
