Letter from John Chilcot to Roderic Lyne Enclosing a Requested Draft of a Letter from John Major to Albert Reynolds and Recording a Butler/Nally Meeting on 10 September 1993

Writing Peace: The National Archives of the UK (TNA)

1993-09-15

John Chilcot writes to introduce a draft of a letter from John Major to Albert Reynolds, in response to a request from Roderic Lyne. Chilcot explains the context to the letter, principally a meeting between representatives of the British government on the one hand (himself and Robin Butler) and representatives of the Irish government on the other (Dermot Nally and Seán Ó hUiginn). This occurred on 10th September. They key positions elucidated were as follows: a British assertion that the current draft would not run but that the government would be constructive in reviewing what the Irish presented, the British view that the current treatment of the consent principle and the issue of self-determination was inadequate, the Irish view that the JDI was the surest route to peace - in contrast to the British privileging of the talks process. Chilcot relays John Hume's lukewarm enthusaism for the JDI and expresses his own scepticism that the Hume/Adams talks will be more constructive. David Gillmore and Robin Butler were copied into the letter and enclosure.
