STATES OF JERSEY

MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES:

VOTE OF CENSURE (P.129/2013) – COMMENTS

Presented to the States on 4th November 2013 by the Council of Ministers

STATES GREFFE

2013   Price code: A  P.129 Com.

COMMENTS

The Council of Ministers believe that a vote of censure is an important matter that should  only  be  brought  forward  for  matters  of  conduct  and  not  for  differences regarding the discharge of official responsibilities. The Council of Ministers ask that the Privileges and Procedures Committee address this issue and provide the necessary clarification.

Although proposed as a vote of censure, the Proposition might be interpreted by some as a vote of no confidence and the Minister may feel obliged to consider his position unless he continues to command the support of a majority of Members.

The Council of Ministers expresses its unqualified support for, and confidence in, the Minister for Transport and Technical Services.
