MACHINERY OF GOVERNMENT: ESTABLISHMENT OF SCRUTINY PANELS AND PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE (P.79/2003) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 8th July 2003 by the Policy and Resources Committee
STATES GREFFE
COMMENTS
The Policy and Resources Committee supports the proposals of the Privileges and Procedures Committee for the establishment of scrutiny panels and a Public Accounts Committee, and believes that they are very much in accordance with the States decision of 28th September 2001 to move from a committee to a ministerial system of government (P.122/2001, as amended). The Privileges and Procedures Committee is to be commended for having presented a well-researched and well-argued case in favour of its proposals.
The Policy and Resources Committee believes that a robust system of scrutiny is vital to the new political arrangements. The proposals of the Privileges and Procedures Committee, if adopted by the States, will result in a robust and effective system of scrutiny that will be able to play a positive role in the Island's system of government.
The Committee accordingly supports the proposition.
