REPORT
Any commitments to electoral reform must acknowledge the role of the Privileges and Procedures Committee ("PPC") who lead on such issues. The Council of Minsters has proposed a further amendment to recognise the important role of the PPC and that any commitments made in this area must refer to working with PPC.
Financial implications
The Council of Ministers will bring forward spending proposals to support the common Strategic Policy in the government Plan.
Manpower implications
Implications for staffing and resourcing will be developed in the Government Plan and departmental planning process.
