QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 10th JUNE 2003, BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARTIN

Question

Would the President inform the Assembly whether the Committee intends to request the Assembly to debate the Population Policy Report, (P.205/2002), before the Summer recess this year and, if not, would he explain the Committee's precise intentions in relation to this projet?

Answer

As I have said in an answer to a previous question, the former Policy and Resources Committee's Projet P.205/2002 was considered by my Committee on 22nd January 2003, and it decided that further work needed to be done before bringing new proposals forward.

That further work is now nearing completion and, at its meeting last Thursday, my Committee agreed the basis for new proposals which are now being developed into a new Projet, with which it is intended to replace P.205/2002.

It is my Committee's intention that its new proposals should be lodged by the end of June 2003, so that, if members agree, it may be debated before the summer recess.
