WQ.416/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO
THE CHAIR OF THE PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE
BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 30th OCTOBER 2023
Question
"Further to the Independent Review of States Members pay, and the recommendation to align pensions and pay to other sections of the public sector, will the Chair explain what consideration the Privileges and Procedures Committee has given, if any, to reviewing States Members' sick leave entitlement; and will she further advise whether the Committee received any submissions and queries from the public in relation to States Members' sick leave entitlement?"
Answer
In 2022, the States Assembly approved new legislation which put in place steps for PPC to take to appoint an independent States Members' Remuneration Reviewer. The role of independent reviewer is to determine the remuneration of States Members once each parliamentary term. In accordance with the Law, PPC has not been involved in the detail of the review in order to maintain its independence from the process. In that regard, PPC has not seen the responses to the independent reviewer's consultation and itself has not received any submissions or queries from the public in relation to Members' sick leave entitlement.
Although the Committee has not intended to review Members' sick leave entitlement, we would be very happy to meet the Deputy to discuss any concerns or views he may have on the matter.
