CHIEF MINISTER

REPORT

On 4th April 2006 the States approved the appointment of the following States Members to the Legislation Advisory Panel (P.32/2006)

Senator James Leslie Perchard

Senator Ben Edward Shenton

Connétable Derek Frederick Gray of St.  Clement

Deputy Andrew David Lewis of St.  John.

The States also confirmed the continued appointment of Connétable Kenneth Priaulx Vibert of St.  Ouen as the Chairman of the Panel.

However, now that Senators Shenton and Perchard have been appointed as Minister and Assistant Minister for Health and Social Services respectively, there are now 2  vacancies on the Legislation Advisory Panel following the standing down from the Panel of the said Senators.

Although the approval of the States is not obligatory, it is suggested that it would be desirable to seek the support of the Assembly. Deputies Juliette Gallichan of St.  Mary and Collin Hedley Egré of St.  Peter have agreed tha they would be willing to serve on the Legislation Advisory Panel.

Connétable Derek Gray and Deputy Andrew Lewis have both agreed that they are willing to continue in their role as members of the Panel and Connétable Ken Vibert as Chairman of the same Panel.

Financial and manpower implications

This proposition has no additional financial and manpower implications. The Advisory Panel will continue to be supported by a Committee Clerk from the States Greffe, and will receive advice from the Attorney General and Law Draftsman, who will be invited to attend its meetings.
