This is the draft summary record of an opening plenary session on Wednesday 11 September 1996 at 14.33. Alliance had submitted an indictment of the UUP, DUP, PUP and UDP. The Chairman announced his intention of proceeding as before. The SDLP were frustrated that indictments were delaying progress on substantive issues. The British Government announced the joint government conclusion was that the UDP and PUP had not demonstrably dishonoured the Mitchell principles. The SDLP and Labour submitted a procedural motion to move on without commenting on this conclusion, which was voted down. The British Government asked permission to make its conclusions public, since the indictment was being debated in the press. This was agreed.
