The Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) document dated 27 October 1997, addresses agenda item 3 [Nature, Form and Extent of new arrangements] of strand one. It underlines the democratic deficit in Northern Ireland and proposes new governance arrangements within the United Kingdom. The UUP advocates for locally elected politicians to take control over functions currently managed by 'quangos' [Quasi Autonomous Non-Governmental Organisations] and government departments, emphasizing the need for equitable, durable, and accountable administration to gain public confidence. The proposed body would be elected by proportional representation, with members assuming roles currently held by civil servants and ensuring full liaison with other UK and EU regions. The UUP insists that only those committed to peaceful means should participate in the future administration of Northern Ireland, and the new body would initially serve as an administrative tier without legislative power, which could evolve with broader constitutional changes in the UK.
