2.8 Deputy T.M. Pitman of the Chief Minister regarding the total sum paid out to employees upon early termination of contract since December 2008
Will the Chief Minister state the total sum, if anything, paid out to employees upon early termination of contract since December 2008 outside of those monies entitled under contract; further still, how many individuals, if any, have received such payments?
Senator T.A. Le Sueur (The Chief Minister):
I have to apologise to the Deputy , but in order to accurately answer this question a considerable amount of research work will be needed to be undertaken across all States departments, and it is not possible to provide an answer in such a short timescale. I have asked officers to commence the necessary work to answer the question and aim to provide a detailed answer to States Members at the next States sitting. May I take the opportunity to remind Members that in instances where a
considerable amount of research work may be required to answer a States question it
should be submitted in good time to produce the answer or alternatively submitted as a written question.
2.8.1 Deputy T.M. Pitman:
Supplementary, Sir.
The Deputy Bailiff :
You will have to use your imagination, Deputy . Deputy T.M. Pitman:
I will. I think it is wonderful the way the Minister shifted the blame on to me. Could the Minister just ensure when he gets his staff to put that answer together that contracts of employment and those on contract of service are all considered in the answer?
Senator T.A. Le Sueur :
I shall endeavour to make the answer as full as possible.
