COMPOSITION OF THE STATES: REDUCTION IN NUMBER OF DEPUTIES (P.2/2011) – AMENDMENT
PAGE 2, PARAGRAPH (b) –
After the words "as set out in the Appendix 1" insert the words –
", except that for Saint Helier there shall be returned 6 Deputies, and for Saint Brelade and Saint Peter there shall be returned 4 Deputies".
DEPUTY A.E. JEUNE OF ST. BRELADE
REPORT
Whilst I agree with the proposer that Islanders have clearly indicated they wish to have fewer States members, he states in paragraph 5 ("By dividing..") that he does not wish to reduce individual Islanders' representation.
If Deputy Noel's proposition is to be proportional to the electorate, then I believe that the number of St. Helier Deputies should be 6 and the number of St. Brelade / St. Peter Deputies should be 4. The registered electors (2008) per Deputy across the 5 suggested Districts would range between 2,492 and 2,899.
If this amendment is adopted, the amendments to P.176/2010 would be amended accordingly.
I attach a revised Schedule 2 to demonstrate the changes if my amendment is adopted. Financial and manpower implications
These would remain unchanged from the main proposition P.2/2011.
