Enclosure: Working Draft of a Minute to John Major Outlining Draft Key Considerations for the Joint Declaration

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

1993-10-07

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 annotated draft differs from that sent by Patrick Mayhew to Prime Minister John Major and includes large written sections as well as notations. Page 6 is a written Section 8. Large sections have been crossed out but are still legible.
