Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Peter Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party), on Wednesday, 16 October 1996, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 2 members in total.


CONDITIONS OF SINN FEIN ENTERING TALKS

That this House no longer believes that a restoration of the fraudulent IRA ceasefire is suffient to merit Sinn Fein's inclusion in the Northern Ireland talks process; believes that the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland should not invite Sinn Fein to join the negotiations without a permanent ceasefire being demonstrably established; regrets that only the Democratic Unionist Party, the United Kingdom Unionist Party, the Ulster Democratic Party and the Progressive Unionist Party supported the DUP proposal in the talks to re-consider the terms and conditions of Sinn Fein's entry to the negotiations; and urges the Prime Minister to set out publicly what criteria he will apply in determining whether Sinn Fein/IRA have met the terms of the Northern Ireland Entry to Negotiations Act 1996.
