QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 4th MARCH 2003, BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. JOHN

Question

In January 2003, the Policy and Resources Committee announced that it would no longer be issuing its Part B minutes to States members. I raised certain concerns at the time with the President and would seek the President's confirmation whether the Policy and Resources Committee intends to bring a report and proposition to the States on this matter, or if not, the reasons why?

Answer

The Policy and Resources Committee are considering the entire issue of information dissemination to States members, the media and the Public at its meeting this Thursday 6th March 2003.

It is the intention of the Committee to be transparent and to provide more information than has hitherto been the case. The Committee intends to ensure that States members, the media and the Public are more fully and more accurately informed than ever before and it will be bringing forward proposals as to how it intends to do this in the very near future.
