HL Deb 09 January 2003 vol 642 c233WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Privy Seal on 12 March (WA 61) which indicated that there was no agreement on Northern Ireland at Weston Park in summer 2001, what was the package of measures put to parties on 1 August 2001, and what was the response. [HL459]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The package of measures presented to the parties on 1 August 2001 set out proposals by the British and Irish Governments in four areas—policing, normalisation, the stability of the institutions and decommissioning—together with a draft statement which the parties would issue in the event that the overall package was acceptable. Not all the parties, however, accepted those proposals.
