WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARY

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16th NOVEMBER 2010

Question

Can the Chief Minister explain the inconsistencies between his written answer on 2nd November 2010, in which he stated that there were no notes taken at an informal meeting held on 7th March 2008 when the Home Affairs Minister invited the Chief Minister and Chief Executive to meet two ACPO officers who were undertaking the review of the Police investigation, and the second ACPO report which states in Paragraph 4 that the said meeting had been convened at the request of the then Chief Minister and a written record of the meeting was available"?

Answer

The first question on 2nd November was addressed to me as Chief Minister and the answer I gave was from the perspective of the Chief Minister and the Chief Minister's department. I cannot speak on behalf of the States of Jersey Police or, the previous Home Affairs Minister.

I cannot explain the inconsistency described by the Deputy as I have not seen the first or second ACPO report to which he refers.
