2 REPORT

The  Minister  for  Treasury  and  Resources  may,  under  Standing  Order 150,  give directions as to

  1. the remuneration (if any) of a member of a committee of inquiry;
  2. the expenses that a committee of inquiry may incur; and
  3. how such remuneration and expenses are to be funded.

The Minister for Treasury and Resources, on 4th March 2013, presented to the States his comments on P.118/2012. These identified an estimated cost of £6 million for the Inquiry  into  Historical  Child  Abuse,  which  was  to  be  funded  from  the  Central Contingency.

Now that the Chairman and Panel have been appointed and their approach to the conduct of the Inquiry has been confirmed, the Minister for Treasury and Resources confirms that the sum to be made available for the Inquiry and the source of that funding are as set out in those comments on P.118/2012.
