WQ.138/2023

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY M.R. SCOTT OF ST. BRELADE

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 27th MARCH 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd APRIL 2023

Question

“Will the Chief Minister advise whether she chose to delay announcing the resignation of the Government Chief Executive to other members of the Council of Ministers, States Employment Board, States Assembly and the Public by a number of days on Government officer advice and, if so, from whom did she receive this advice?”

Answer

As I have said before, the Chief Executive asked us to observe strictest confidentiality. This was mutually agreed and maintained until the announcement of her resignation.

I did ask for advice on how to proceed from the Chief People and Transformation Officer (formerly Group Director for People and Corporate Services) who provided his advice on return from leave on 21st

March 2023, after I had attended the States sitting in the morning.
