WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE  BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th OCTOBER 2010

Question

Does the Committee consider that the current right of reply within the media protocols referred to within P.100/2010 (Media Relations: Code of Conduct) is effective and what evidence, if any, does it have to support this view?

Answer

It is not the rôle of the Privileges and Procedures Committee to express a view in respect of any protocol operated by a media organisation, nor to provide evidence to support any such view.

The Deputy may, however, be interested to note that, following a meeting with the Deputy of St. Martin , the Privileges and Procedures Committee is currently undertaking further work in respect of P.100/2010 (Media Relations: Code of Conduct). The debate on the proposition has therefore been deferred until 30th November 2010.
