Conclusions of the Governments on representations made by the DUP against the PUP and the UDP, enclosing notice and rebuttal

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document outlines the conclusions of the Governments regarding the Democratic Unionist Party's (DUP) formal representations against the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) and the Ulster Democratic Party (UDP), alleging breaches of the Mitchell principles. The DUP's 'Notice of Indictment' accused the PUP and UDP of failing to condemn threats and attacks, specifically citing a threat from the Combined Loyalist Military Command (CLMC) and an attack on the Kerr home. After reviewing the documents, oral statements, and differing views, the Governments concluded that the PUP and UDP had not demonstrably dishonored the Mitchell principles, noting their consistent support for the CLMC ceasefire and commitment to non-violence. Consequently, the Governments determined that no further action was necessary against the PUP and UDP.
