STATES GREFFE
MIGRATION: MONITORING AND REGULATION (P.25/2005) – SECOND AMENDMENT ____________
At the end of paragraph 6, after the words"Social Security registration" insert the words "and to agree that political responsibility for the office should lie with the Policy and Resources Committee (or the future Chief Minister)."
POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE
REPORT
The Report and Proposition is silent on the issue of political responsibility, because the initial phase of the changes will be operated within the current Regulation of Undertakings and Development Law and Housing Laws. Creation of the integrated office was seen as a managerial task, with officers ultimately reporting to the Chief Executive of Policy and Resources and hence to the Committee.
The Policy and Resources Committee's Report and Proposition was therefore not proposing that the Economic Development Committee (or the future Minister for Economic Development) take overall political responsibility.
The Committee however recognises that it is reasonable to clarify this matter and therefore proposes that the Policy and Resources Committee and then the Chief Minister should become politically responsible for the office. This reflects both the importance of managing migration and ensuring that all of the interests (promoting social inclusion, balancing economic growth and the demand for and supply of labour, accommodation infrastructure and the resources of the Island) identified in the original proposition are properly balanced.
