Conclusions of the Bilateral Meeting with the Unionist Delegations on 20 May 1991 at 1527
The Unionist delegations still stood by their paper of 13 June.
The opening Strand Two session in London might last for two or three days rather than one, if, as was envisaged in Strand One, each delegation was given the opportunity to present its position first and for other delegations to cross-examine them thereafter.
The Unionists would be looking for the Irish Government to say they would be prepared to consider an alternative to or replacement of Articles 2 and 3 of the Irish Constitution. If they were to do so then the Unionists would remove their vehement opposition to talking in Northern Ireland. Bilateral meetings could be useful after the first plenary.
