ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN 2008 (P.93/2007): FIFTH AMENDMENT (P.93/2007 AMD.(5)) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 14th September 2007 by the Council of Ministers
STATES GREFFE
COMMENTS
The Council of Ministers agrees with the principle of this amendment that all the objectives should be achieved within the approved revenue and manpower resources. The set of key objectives proposed by the Council to be delivered in 2008 were prepared and are deliverable within the financial framework proposed by the Council in this Business Plan.
The Council would wish to highlight that the 5th Amendment of Deputy Reed requires the approved objectives to be delivered within the approved spending limits. If, as is proposed in these parts of the 9th Amendment of the Public Accounts Committee, the financial framework is significantly reduced then the proposed objectives and performance criteria could not be delivered. The Council has indicated in its comment on the 9th Amendment a broad summary of the likely consequences on services of the proposed reductions in expenditure allocations.
The Council would therefore accept this Amendment and also urge members to reject the 9th Amendment.
