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.
