REPORT
This amendment seeks to provide some reassurance that the historic ties held by the Bailiff as Civic Head of the Island will continue and that on very special occasions, such as our Liberation Day, which in many ways is our national day, it is right that the tradition of the coming together of the Parliament [Assembly] and the Court membership continues for the annual celebrations. It is likely that on such occasions, the Assembly may wish to invite the Bailiff to attend and/or speak and I see no problem with this.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no additional financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this amendment.
