Annex C3 – DUP Submission on weighted majorities and thresholds, 8 June 1992

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This document, identified as Annex C3 of the strand one subcommittee report, is a submission by the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), dated 8 June 1992. It discusses the mechanisms for triggering referral processes and setting override procedures within the context of Northern Ireland's governance. The document emphasizes the constitutional supremacy of the UK Parliament over any Assembly or Panel, referencing Section 75 of the 1920 Act to underline Westminster's ultimate authority. The DUP expresses strong concerns about granting unrestricted powers to a Panel or the Secretary of State, warning that such measures could lead to instability and undermine effective governance. The submission proposes that a referral mechanism be activated if 35% of Assembly members sign a petition, while also advocating for a 65% weighted majority for critical decisions such as the election of the Speaker and other contentious measures.
