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 an open 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(1)(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
The constitution of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (set out in Schedule 1 to the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission (Jersey) Law 2005) requires that the chairman recommends elected members for appointment as States commissioners. Standing Order 126 provides that the chairman will make his or her 2 nominations, and the States shall vote on each proposal separately. If the States reject a proposal by the chairman, the chairman must propose another elected member for appointment. Election as a States Commissioner is open to all members.
2 members of the States Employment Board
The States Employment Board is chaired by the Chief Minister, or by another Minister who is nominated by the Chief Minister to be Chairman in his place, 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 Chairman 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 or ballots will be held.
2 members of the Jersey Police Authority
The Jersey Police Authority consists of not less than 5 and not more than 7 members, up to 2 of whom are elected members of the States. The Presiding Officer will invite nominations for the position of member of the Police Authority. If there is are than 2 nominations, a secret ballot or ballots will be held.
