The Labour Party's submission on 4 February 1998, supports the establishment of a North/South Ministerial Council, emphasizing its cultural, political, and practical benefits. Labour envisions the Council as a flexible body that evolves based on the needs and experiences of the people, grounded in mutual recognition and consent. The Council should include ministers from both jurisdictions, be recognized in international law, and have mechanisms to prevent abuse of power and ensure confidence in its operations. Labour also advocates for joint funding, a supporting secretariat, and the involvement of elected representatives, while maintaining that Northern Ireland should have independent access to the EU and that any cross-border arrangements should continue if beneficial.
