Memo commenting on future policy options paper, 29 July 1996

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

1996-07-29

A letter from John Holmes, Private Secretary to the Prime Minister, to Martin Howard, Private Secretary to the Northern Ireland Office, dated 29 July 1996. The letter outlines the response of John Major, British Prime Minister, to an options paper on Northern Ireland sent by Howard on 25 July 1996. Major discarded the options of 'stepping up' or 'ditching' Anglo-Irish co-operation, and pursuing a political settlement without input from the heads of the Northern Irish political parties. Major asked Howard to produce a further paper combining elements of other options: more powers to local government; efforts to reassure nationalists, including a Bill of Rights; and moving forward on constitutional reform.
