The document, prepared by Cleaver Fulton & Rankin, Solicitors in Belfast, provides an analysis of the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and its current relevance. The Act, which aimed to establish separate legislatures for Northern and Southern Ireland, became operative only in Northern Ireland, leading to the establishment of the Northern Ireland Parliament on 3 May 1921. The Act's provisions were largely replaced by subsequent legislation, particularly the Northern Ireland Constitution Act 1973, but some elements remain on the statute book. The document emphasizes the historical significance of the Act and the continued importance of Section 75, which asserts the supreme authority of the UK Parliament over Northern Ireland, suggesting that any new constitutional arrangements should maintain this principle to ensure the status of Northern Ireland's administration.
