DIVERSITY WORKING GROUP (P.118/2019): COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 6th January 2020 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee
STATES GREFFE
2019 P.118 Com.
COMMENTS
The Privileges and Procedures Committee ("PPC") welcomes Deputy J.M. Maçon of St. Saviour 's initiative to examine ways of improving the diversity of States-owned and funded Boards and Arm's-Length Bodies. However, the Committee questions the desirability of establishing a new working group at a time when many Members feel over-committed with existing Scrutiny Panels, Committees, Policy Development Boards and Political Oversight Groups. Earlier this year, PPC established the Diversity Forum as a Sub-Committee of PPC, and one of its aims is to "support the Government to achieve its aim of removing barriers and promoting inclusion and equal opportunity for all". Deputy Maçon's initiative lies within the remit of the Diversity Forum and the Forum would be happy to take on this work, reporting its conclusions directly to the Council of Ministers. Therefore, if this Proposition is adopted, PPC invites the Council of Ministers to commission the Diversity Forum to carry out the review.
