This document, identified as Annex A of the strand one subcommittee report, outlines a proposed framework for new political institutions in Northern Ireland, suggesting the establishment of a single, unicameral Assembly with 85 members elected by proportional representation. It details the executive and legislative responsibilities of the Assembly, which would be presided over by a Speaker elected by a weighted majority. The framework includes the formation of Departmental Committees, with chairmanships allocated in proportion to party strengths, and a 'code of practice' to define roles and decision-making powers. Additionally, a separate panel of three individuals would have significant consultative, monitoring, and representational functions, including advising on legislation, public expenditure, and administrative actions, with a commitment to economic development and financial independence.
