Enclosure: Annex A – Annotated Draft Minute to John Major Outlining Key Considerations for the Joint Declaration

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

1993-10-08

The document summarises the central positions at the heart of the Declaration proposal and talks with the Irish Government. This includes the likely reception both in Britain and Ireland to the Joint Declaration. The latest improvements to the text that hint at a constitutional guarantee that Northern Ireland requires consent to leave the United Kingdom are welcomed but not explicit enough, hence this documents concern with emphasising the importance of securing these in explicit terms. The issue of securing Jim Molyneaux of the UUP's support is also set out. For Mayhew, if both those issues are fixed then the Joint Declaration is worth the risk, which includes that the Provisionalists find the constitutional guarantee unacceptable. This draft in particular includes heavy annotations, including large parts of what will eventually form the document sent by Secretary of State for Northen Ireland Patrick Mayhew to Prime Minister John Major. Page 5 of the document is entirely hand written as is Section 7 across pages 10 and 11. We can assume that these notes are by Andrew Stephens.
