Northern Ireland Brooke/Mayhew Talks 1991-1992
WORK IN PROGRESS - IN THE FINAL STAGES OF EDITING A series of talks launched by Peter Brooke, Secretary of State for Northern in Ireland, which began in April 1991, and were carried on intermittently by Brooke and his successor, Patrick Mayhew, until November 1992.
Political Structures Sub-Committee
Editor's Note: This sub-Committee was initially commissioned by the Plenary to discuss proposals for new political structures in Northern Ireland. By 26 May, the Talks have run into difficulty and the Business Committee sets a fresh agenda and terms of reference for the sub-Committee. It is asked to focus on the impasse in the Talks, and it is agreed that minutes will not be taken or papers circulated beyond the membership of the sub-Committee and the Party Leaders. As there appears to be continuity within the Committee rather than a complete reconstitution, we model the sessions from 27 May as being part of the same sub-Committee. Records for this later period are, however, more scarce since formal minutes were no longer produced.

Session 14200: 1992-06-08 09:00:00
Meeting of the Sub-Committee. In the week commencing 8 June, most Sub-Committee meetings seem to have taken place in their respective Sub-Groups. One Sub-Group considered 'Westminister Links' while the other worked on the 'Outline Framework Document'. Papers are sent from the Sub-Committee as a whole to the Plenary and, as the minutes of discussion are scant, we are not modelling the Sub-Groups as separate Quill committees.

Messages from the DUP, UUP and Alliance to the Secretary of State Regarding Perceived Intransigence of the SDLP
[The view of the other three parties was that a plenary should be recalled immediately. If the SDLP still refused to offer any movement at that meeting the three other parties would continue consideration of the 3 June paper on their own and would make it clear that the SDLP had refused to negotiate.]
Decisions yet to be taken
