Record of liaison subcommittee on confidence building measures meeting on 31 March 1998 at 14.30

Sunday, 19 April 1998

i25630

The document is a summary record of a Liaison subcommittee meeting on confidence-building measures held on March 31, 1998. The meeting, chaired by Mr. Holkeri, initially intended to discuss policing issues but shifted focus to the White Paper "Partnership for Equality" at the request of the British Government. Sinn Fein objected to this change, citing concerns about deflecting attention from a UN report on RUC activities. The British Government outlined responses to SACHR recommendations [from a report published in June 1997], emphasizing the need to reduce unemployment differentials and promote equality of opportunity. Various parties, including Alliance, Labour, NIWC, PUP, Sinn Fein, SDLP, and UUP, expressed views on the White Paper, addressing issues like discrimination, employment differentials, and the proposed Equality Commission. The discussion highlighted concerns about the effectiveness of proposed measures and the need for tangible actions to address inequality. The meeting concluded with plans for future discussions on policing and prisoners.
