WQ.203/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO
THE CHAIR OF THE PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE
BY DEPUTY M.R. SCOTT OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY WEDNESDAY 10th MAY 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON WEDNESDAY 17th MAY 2023
Question
"Will the Chair advise how many (i) States Members, and (ii) members of the public, contacted the Privileges and Procedures Committee with respect to the statement made by the Deputy Chief Minister regarding his lack of knowledge of resignations in the public sector, that was subsequently referred to the Commissioner for Standards?"
Answer
Whilst no 'count' as such was taken when the matter was considered by PPC, the 5 non Executive members had each been contacted by a number of States Members and constituents in confidence regarding the communications relating to the unexpected resignation of the Chief Executive. The Committee, whilst making no allegations about the matter, felt that it could not simply ignore the concerns and questions raised and that a referral to the Commissioner for Standards was the right thing to do in this situation, given the level of disquiet expressed.
