Labour submission to Strand Two on the nature, form and extent of new arrangements

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The Labour Party's submission on Strand Two of the Good Friday Agreement negotiations addresses the nature, form and extent of new arrangements as part of Strand Two. They advocate for democratic, accountable, and transparent institutions, criticizing the Frameworks for the Future documents for merely replicating existing administrative structures. Labour calls for innovative proposals that address the real needs of people on both sides of the border, focusing on practical cooperation in areas such as public utilities, health, and education, rather than symbolic gestures. They also stress the importance of addressing cross-border policing and ensuring that new governance structures are democratic and inclusive, rejecting the creation of unaccountable quangos [quasi non-governmental organisations].
