FRAMEWORK FOR ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT IN NORTHERN IRELA
PA 2/22/95 8:06 AM
The following is a summary of the Assembly proposals.
The proposals:
:: outline the British Government's understanding of where agreement
might be found amongst the political
parties and the wider community on new democratic institutions within
Northern Ireland.
:: identify the characteristics that should underlie any such new
institutions;
:: propose and describe in greater detail the following:
:: a single unicameral Assembly of about 90 members elected for a fixed
term;
:: legislative and executive responsibility over as wide a range of
subjects as in 1973;
:: elections to the Assembly by a form of proportional representation;
:: possibly a separate panel, perhaps of three people elected within
Northern Ireland, to complement the
working of the Assembly;
:: a system of Assembly committees, constituted broadly in proportion to
party strengths in the Assembly;
:: a system of detailed checks and balances intended to sustain
confidence in the institutions.
