P.155/2015 Amd.(2)
REPORT This amendment has been lodged for 3 purposes.
The first is to correct an error in the date of one of the transcripts that the proposition is seeking to release. The second is to add to the proposition an additional transcript that has been identified, which dealt with the suspension of the former Chief of Police; and the third is to widen the number of people who could give evidence in respect of the proceedings of the States to the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry, if called upon to do so.
Whilst I am not aware whether or not the Care Inquiry intends to call upon anyone other than States Members to give evidence regarding proceedings of the States, the purpose of the final amendment is to facilitate such a move if they chose to do so, by including in part (b) of the proposition all those covered by Article 36(1) of the States of Jersey Law 2005, thus preventing any delays to the Inquiry that would occur if there was a need to come back to the Assembly at a later point in time to seek permission for these other persons to give evidence.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from the adoption of this amendment.
