REPORT
Following approval by the States of P.142/1999 – Establishment of a Statistics Users Group – the Statistics User Group (S.U.G.) was created in 1999 as an independent body to review and comment upon official statistics in Jersey. In October 2006, Mr. Charles Christopher Gooding Clarke was appointed as Chairman of the Group for a period of 3 years.
The Statistics User Group is grateful to Mr. Clarke, who, during his term as Chairman of the Group, has been fully committed to the work undertaken.
Mr. Clarke was originally appointed as it was felt he was eminently suited to the position of Chairman and this viewpoint remains unchanged. Mr. Clarke is a chartered accountant who retired from his position as Chairman of KPMG Channel Islands in 2005, having joined KPMG London as a graduate trainee in 1977. He is currently Chairman of Thomas Dessain Limited, and is involved in a number of unremunerated business and community positions, including Jersey Finance Limited, Market Strategy Group and Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust.
I therefore recommend to the States that Mr. Clarke be re-appointed to the role of Chairman for a period of 3 years with effect from 26th October 2009.
The Appointments Commission has confirmed that they support the re-appointment of Mr. Clarke.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this proposition.
