2.13   Deputy  G.C.L. Baudains of The Chief Minister regarding the route by which representations to the person chairing the enquiry into child protection in Jersey could be made:

Would the Minister explain to Members the route by which representations to the person chairing the inquiry into child protection in Jersey can be made?

Senator F.H. Walker (The Chief Minister):

Mr. Andrew Williamson, who of course is conducting the inquiry, can be contacted by email on a.williamson2@gov.je or by telephone. Messages may be left for him on 440444 which as I announced when the review was set up is an extension of facilities provided for him within my

department. These are the most direct methods and he responds to all messages. However, if anyone wishes to contact him via the States Greffe they should phone 441013 or email m.delahaye@gov.je. This week advertisements are being placed by Mr. Williamson in the Jersey Evening Post, the first one was of course last night, inviting anyone who wishes to contact him to do so and he will meet anyone who wishes to see him. A copy of the advertisement has been placed in every States Member's desk.

2.13.1   Deputy G.C.L. Baudains:

I thank the Chief Minister for his reply, Sir. I wonder if I could just ask him that any person that may have made submissions to Mr. Williamson so far, can they rely upon the fact that they will have had a communication acknowledging their submission?

Senator F.H. Walker :

I do not know whether Mr. Williamson has acknowledged every submission or not. What I do know is that every attempt, every request to contact him has indeed been passed on to him and he issued a statement on 16th November which said: "I am in daily contact and all emails and telephone messages are passed on without delay. In addition Senators [and I assume by this he meant States Members] telephone me on my home phone number and have my home email address. I have responded to every request for contact."
