WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE LEGISLATION COMMITTEE BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. JOHN
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 1st MARCH 2005
Question
Would the President state whether any consideration is being given by the Committee to removing the special provisions affecting the sentencing of adult offenders aged between 18 and 21 following the lowering of the age of majority to 18 under the provisions of the Age of Majority (Jersey) Law 1999?
Answer
No. The Committee is not taking on new tasks pending the introduction of ministerial government at the end of this year and instead hopes to complete the outstanding matters which it has on hand.
In any event, the special provisions affecting the sentencing of offenders between 18 and 21 which are contained in the Criminal Justice(Young Offenders) (Jersey) Law 1994 would appear more naturally to fall within the remit of the Home Affairs Committee to consider in conjunction with HM Attorney General.
