Explanatory Note regarding subordinate legislation tabled at this meeting. (See Item B)
R&O.162/2011.
This Order amends the Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures – Syria) (Jersey) Order 2011 to give effect to Council Regulation (EU) No. 1150/2011 of 14th November 2011 amending Regulation (EU) No. 442/2011 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria (O.J. L296, 15.11.2011, p.1) and Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 1151/2011 of 14th November 2011 implementing Regulation (EU) No. 442/2011 concerning restrictive measures in the view of the situation in Syria (O.J. L296, 15.11.2011, p.3). The effect of the amendments is to amend the list of persons in respect of whom restrictive measures are taken.
The Order was made on 17th November 2011 and came into force on 18th November 2011.
Note regarding the appointment process (See Item F)
President of the Chairmen's Committee
Standing Order 121(1) provides that the President of the Chairmen's Committee shall be appointed from amongst the persons who are members of the Committee.
The Presiding Officer will invite nominations for the position. Only the 6 Chairmen (the Chairman of PAC and 5 scrutiny panel chairmen) are eligible for nomination. If there is more than one nomination each candidate will speak for up to 10 minutes with a 20 minute question period. The candidates will speak and be questioned in the order in which they have been nominated. Other candidates must withdraw from the Chamber during the speeches and question period.
Following the speeches and question periods a secret ballot or ballots will be held until one candidate receives an overall majority of votes cast.
Members of the Privileges and Procedures Committee
Standing Order 122 provides that the Chairman of the Privileges and Procedures Committee shall nominate 3 elected members, who are neither Ministers nor Assistant Ministers, as members of the Committee. The Chairman, after consultation with the Chief Minister, will also nominate 2 elected members who are each a Minister or an Assistant Minister as members and he or she will also nominate one member of the Chairmen's Committee.
After the Chairman has made his or her nominations the Presiding Officer will invite alternative nominations within each of the 3 categories. Only members who meet the relevant criteria are eligible for membership in each category. If alternative nominations are made there will be a secret ballot for membership of the category concerned. In the ballot(s) members have the same number of votes as the number of places to be filled but do not have to use all their votes. The candidate(s) with the largest numbers of votes will be elected.
Elected members of the Public Accounts Committee
Standing Order 123(1) provides that the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee shall indicate the number of elected members (being not less than 2) that he or she wishes to have as members of the Committee and should then nominate that number of elected members (who are neither Ministers nor Assistant Ministers) as candidates for appointment. Standing Order 131(b) provides that there must be an even number of members (but not less than 4) and half must be persons who are not members of the States. Only the elected members will be nominated at this meeting.
After the Chairman has made his or her nominations the Presiding Officer will invite alternative nominations. If alternative nominations are made a secret ballot will be held.
Members of the 5 scrutiny panels
Standing Order 135(2)(b) provides that each Scrutiny Panel shall consist of a number of members determined by the Chairman of the Panel, but not more than 4, who must be elected members who are not Ministers or Assistant Ministers. Standing Order 135(3) provides that an elected member of a Scrutiny Panel cannot be a member of more than 2 Scrutiny Panels and can only be Chairman of one.
After announcing the number of members that he or she wants, the Chairman of each panel (in the order shown in the Order Paper) will make his or her nominations. The Presiding Officer will invite alternative nominations and, if alternative nominations are made, a secret ballot will be held.
2 States Commissioners of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission
Under the Constitution in Schedule 1 to the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission Law 2005, the nominations of the 5 members of the Commission are made on the recommendation of the Chairman and therefore alternative nominations cannot be made by the Assembly. 2 of the Commissioners will be elected members whilst the other 3 non-States Commissioners will be persons who are not members of the States (only the elected members are to be appointed at this meeting). Election as a States Commissioner is open to all members.
The Chairman of the Commission will make his or her 2 nominations and members will be asked to accept or reject the nominations.
2 members of the States Employment Board
The States Employment Board is chaired by the Chief Minister and consists of 2 Ministers or Assistant Ministers appointed by the Chief Minister and 2 States members who are not Ministers or Assistant Ministers appointed by the States. The Chief Minister will nominate 2 members who are not Ministers or Assistant Ministers for these 2 positions. The Presiding Officer will invite alternative nominations and, if alternative nominations are made, a secret ballot will be held.
