WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARY
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16th NOVEMBER 2010
Question
Does the Chief Minister accept in full the findings and conclusions of the Napier report which he commissioned and, if not, would he set out in detail the specific elements which he does not accept?
Answer
Mr. Napier was commissioned to produce an independent report that looked into the suspension process in relation to the former Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police.
I have accepted the Report as its stands in that it is a comprehensive review of the procedure followed regarding the suspension of the former Chief Officer of Police. The conclusions and recommendations are those of Mr. Brian Napier QC, who is an eminent professional in Employment Law matters.
In his report, Mr. Napier points to several procedural issues in the suspension process that in his view had certain shortcomings. These have now been addressed and I believe that the report has served its purpose and met the Terms of Reference in identifying where there were any failures in the process.
