Northern Ireland Brooke/Mayhew Talks 1991-1992

IN THE FINAL STAGES OF EDITING A series of talks launched by Peter Brooke, Secretary of State for Northern in Ireland, which began in April 1991, and were carried on intermittently by Brooke and his successor, Patrick Mayhew, until November 1992.

Office of the Strand 2 Independent Chairman

Sir Ninian Stephen was appointed as the independent Chairman of Strand 2 of the Brooke/Mayhew talks. Officially, he took over from the Secretary of State at this point in terms of chairing the talks, and consequently receiving and circulating documents. However, in practice, the Secretary of State and the British Government delegation continued to play a role in the chairing of the overall talks process, most notably insofar as they continued to conduct bilterals with all of the parties as the process ran into difficulties. We have therefore decided to create a separate committee for the Office of the Independent Chairman in order to show the two Chairs working in parallel. We have fewer internal documents for Sir Ninian's team since we do not have access to his archive.
