John Holmes briefed John Major on the implications of the Manchester bombing for government policy. He advocated maintaining 'the political and moral high ground'. He advised that there should be no lurch in policy, rather that it emphasised the need for a ceasefire and for decommissioning and for increasing pressure on Sinn Féin, but also of stressing the importance to the Unionists to move on from procedural wrangles.
