by the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture

REPORT
The Gambling Commission (Jersey) Law 2010 enables the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture to re-appoint a serving Chair of the Jersey Gambling Commission Board, provided that the candidate's total duration of service is less than 10 years.
In order to stagger the recruitment of the board members and ensure continuity and transfer of knowledge, the Minister has extended for a period of 12-months, Advocate Cyril Whelan as Chair of the Jersey Gambling Commission Board which will take effect from 2nd November 2023. This takes his total period of service to nine years and there is no intention to extend further.
Advocate Whelan has brought considerable experience to the role from his distinguished career in the Jersey Law Officers' Department, and as a Commissioner with the Jersey Financial Services Commission.
All three Commissioners are currently due to finish their terms of office at the same time – on 2nd November 2023. This extension of the Chair's term will provide continuity
of corporate governance at the Board level.
The Minister, being content with the level of service provided by the incumbent Chair, is therefore notifying the States in accordance with Article 2 of the States of Jersey (Appointment Procedures) (Jersey) Law 2018.
Finance and manpower implications:
There are no additional finance, manpower or other implications.
