WQ.454/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 8TH NOVEMBER 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 15TH NOVEMBER 2021
Question
In light of the formal registration of the Alliance Party, will the Chief Minister advise what consideration has been given to party membership when deciding the membership of policy boards, steering groups and other Government-formed cross-Assembly groups; whether party membership has been identified as a possible conflict of interest to membership of such groups and, if so, what Government policy is to address any such conflict?
Answer
All Government boards and groups are assembled with a view to secure a balanced and focused membership.
As the Deputy will be aware, whilst the Alliance Party has been registered, all Alliance Members are acting as Independent Members until the 2022 General Election. There have not therefore been any incidents whereby a possible conflict of interest has been identified.
