P.158/2013 Amd.

REPORT

Part (b)(ii) is problematic for the following reasons: Firstly, it seeks to stipulate that there should be a quota for a particular category of States Member; in this case a Connétable , without any reason or rationale. The second, and main concern, is that unlike (b)(iii), there is no stipulation as to whether the said member can be a member of the Executive.

For these reasons, I trust that members will agree that this amendment would achieve a more even-handed approach to the composition of the working group. I hope that the Chief  Minister  will  also  agree  and  accept  this  amendment,  which  need  not  be controversial.

Financial and manpower implications

There  are  no  financial  or  manpower  implications  for  the  States  arising  from  the adoption of this amendment.
