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.
The term of the current Chair, Advocate Cyril Whelan is due to conclude on 2nd November 2024. The Minister intends to extend the term of Advocate Cyril Whelan as Chair of the Jersey Gambling Commission Board for a period of 12-months, which will take effect from 2nd November 2024. This will allow for an approximately eighteen- month handover period to the new Board, ensuring continuity and transfer of knowledge.
This takes his total period of service to ten years. 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.
The Minister is therefore notifying the States of his intention to extend the appointment for a further 12-months in accordance with Article 2 of the States of Jersey (Appointment Procedures) (Jersey) Law 2018.
