REPORT
The Council of Ministers is supportive of Senator Vallois's proposition which follows the work of the Democratic Accountability and Governance sub-committee.
This amendment merely seeks to include the Council of Ministers within the reporting structure for this sub-committee alongside PPC. This is because the work of this sub- committee in large part concerns the executive and the smooth functioning of the Government. Similarly, it would be expected that the Council of Ministers accommodate the sub-committee requests for information or comment to assist in the formulation of its proposals. It is therefore desirable that the Council of Ministers is informed and able to contribute to the work of this sub-committee.
Financial and manpower implications
None as a consequence of this decision; however it would be expected that Government officers be available to provide certain administrative and advisory support to the sub- committee as part of their existing responsibilities.
