2011 Price code: A P.19

REPORT
The Council of Ministers presented its Report R.8/2011 [Historical Child Abuse: Committee of Inquiry] to the States on 1st February 2011. Under the Standing Orders of the States of Jersey there is no procedure for the States to debate the contents of this Report. However, I believe that it is right and proper that a debate should take place in the Chamber on such an important issue, which has dominated the news headlines in Jersey for the last 3 years. The outcome of the vote on this proposition will give the Council of Ministers either a clear endorsement of their decision not to set up a Committee of Inquiry or a strong indication that their decision needs to be reconsidered.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications arising from this proposition as I am simply seeking a debate on a decision made by the Council of Ministers.
