This document, identified as Annex C4 of the strand one subcommittee report, is a submission from the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) dated 6 June 1992, discussing potential safeguard mechanisms within the proposed Assembly as part of the ongoing talks. The UUP suggests mechanisms such as a weighted majority requirement of 70% for certain decisions, referral of proposals outside the Assembly if 30% express dissatisfaction, and the possibility of the Secretary of State examining administrative or legislative decisions. Additionally, the UUP mentions the role of a proposed 'Panel' in determining outcomes of referred matters and highlights the importance of existing and potential new legislation, as well as access to the courts as safeguard mechanisms. The submission emphasizes the need to balance these protective measures to avoid creating a system that hinders workability and durability.
