ELECTED SPEAKER AND DEPUTY SPEAKER OF THE STATES ASSEMBLY: SELECTION AND APPOINTMENT (P.84/2017) – FOURTH AMENDMENT ____________
PAGE 3, NEW PARAGRAPH (3) –
After paragraph (2), insert the following new paragraph –
"(3) to request the Privileges and Procedures Committee to bring forward
the standing order changes necessary to enable the specially- constituted review panel set up for the purpose of scrutinising the recommendations of the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry to be mandated to scrutinise draft legislation arising from this proposition, and for that specially-constituted panel to be the relevant scrutiny panel for the purposes of calling in such legislation for scrutiny under Standing Order 72.".

REPORT
Having read the comments of the Chairmen's Committee on my amendment P.84/2017 Amd.(2), it is clear that there is no appetite for the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel to contemplate any compromise.
Therefore, an amendment is proposed which would mandate the specially convened Review Panel for the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry to be the appointed Panel – that does not, for the avoidance of any doubt, have ministerial representation.
This should be a matter decided on by the whole Assembly, not just the Chairmen's Committee or a call-in by the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel, of which a number of members – including the Chairman – have spoken in public about their opposition to any change in speakership.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no additional financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposed amendment.
