This transcript records John Major's response to an irate Ian Paisley in the House of Commons. Paisley probes the perceived hypocrisy of the British government in claiming to eschew negotiation with violent actors whilst engaging with the agreement reached between John Hume and Gerry Adams of Sinn Féin. Major responded by distancing himself from the outcome of the Hume/Adams talks and claiming that this was a matter exclusively for the interest of the Taoiseach, with whom the British government has regular contact. He repeated his conviction to never negotiate with terrorists.
