2.17 The Deputy of St. Martin of the Minister for Home Affairs regarding whether law drafting instructions have been submitted for the proposal adopted under "Speeding fines: allocation of funds to parishes" (P.156/2005):
On 31st January 2006 the States adopted Speeding Fines: allocation of fines to Parishes, (P.156/2005), as amended, charging the Minister for Home Affairs to bring forward for approval the necessary amendments to the Road Traffic (Jersey) Law 1956, to give effect to the proposal. Will the Minister advise whether law drafting instructions have been submitted to the Law Draftsman and, if so, when, and when the amendments will be lodged?
Senator W. Kinnard (The Minister for Home Affairs):
Thank you, Sir. The Law Draftsman has confirmed that this legislative change can now be dealt with as a minor and routine item. Law drafting instructions which have been prepared by the Home Affairs Department were submitted to the Law Draftsman's office yesterday but their preparation pre-dates this question. However, following the transfer of functions from Home Affairs to Transport and Technical Services, responsibility for the areas of the Road Traffic (Jersey) Law 1956 which will be affected by this amendment lie with the latter department. It will, therefore, be for the Minister for Transport and Technical Services to lodge the amendments when he sees fit.
2.17.1 The Deputy of St. Martin :
Could I just ask the Minister is the other Minister aware of his responsibilities? Has there been this dialogue?
Senator W. Kinnard:
Yes, the other Minister is aware and, indeed, my department has communicated directly with his department on this matter.
