STATES OF JERSEY

PARISH ASSEMBLIES: INFORMATION PACK (P.60/2011) – COMMENTS

Presented to the States on 16th May 2011 by the Comité des Connétable s

STATES GREFFE

2011   Price code: A  P.60 Com.

COMMENTS

The information, which it is proposed should be included in a booklet, is already available  in  the  public  domain  principally  as  the  Loi  au  sujet  des  Assemblées Paroissiales and through statute and other publications. A great deal of information about  the  functioning  of  parish  administration  has  been  available  on  the  parish websites for several years, and this is regularly updated.

Whilst the Comité agrees that it may be desirable for the public to have easier access to this information it will require considerable work to compile the information listed and, with limited resources (one part-time Secretary who has other responsibilities at this time of year for example arrangements for the 2011 public elections, support of the Rate Appeal Board etc.), it is unlikely that such information could be produced by 1st September 2011.

The Comité would also need to seek advice from the Law Officers' Department to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in the booklet and there will thus be a financial and manpower implication for the States arising from the adoption of this proposition.
