business.

1240/7/1(1)  It  was  agreed  that,  due  to  the  large  number  of  propositions  and amendments

concerning the composition and election of the States which had been lodged for debate  on  5th  November  2013  (P.93/2013,  P.94/2013,  P.98/2013,  P.116/2013 P.117/2013  and  associated  amendments  refer),  the  Committee's  proposition Commissioner  for  Standards:  establishment'  (P.107/2013)  should  be  deferred until 19th November 2013. It was further agreed that members should be invited to consider deferring any propositions which were not felt to be time-critical. The Committee Clerk was requested to take the necessary action.

The Committee, with reference to its Minute No. A6 of 3rd October 2013, recalled that it intended to consider the presentation of a comment to the States in respect of the  proposition  of   Deputy  M.   Tadier  entitled:  Public  Elections:  Single Transferable  Voting  System  (STV)  and  an  Alternative  Voting  System  (AV)' (P.86/2013 refers) once the outcome of the aforementioned reform debates was known. It was noted that Deputy Tadier 's proposition was scheduled for debate on the same date as those relating to reform and the Committee would therefore be unlikely to have sufficient time to consider and agree a comment prior to the debate. Deputy Tadier was not minded to defer debate of the proposition at the present time.
