Annex D – Westminster Links: Discussion on Relationships within Northern Ireland

i27976

This document, identified as Annex D of the strand one subcommittee report, outlines the conclusions of a subcommittee regarding the relationship between new institutions in Northern Ireland and the Westminster Parliament, as envisaged in a statement from 26 March 1991. It emphasizes that while the Westminster Parliament retains ultimate legislative power over Northern Ireland, it would not typically legislate on transferred matters, and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland would remain accountable for non-transferred matters without intervening in the day-to-day operations of Northern Ireland institutions. The document also discusses the categorization of matters into 'excepted' and 'reserved,' with provisions for transferring reserved matters to Northern Ireland institutions subject to Parliamentary approval. Additionally, it highlights the need for close collaboration between the Secretary of State and Northern Ireland institutions, particularly on financial and European Community issues, and notes the potential establishment of a Northern Ireland Select Committee by the House of Commons.
