WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARY

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th MAY 2011

Question

What training, if any, do Ministers receive?

Answer

The first two meetings of the Council of Ministers held in December 2008 were devoted to induction issues. These include the role of Ministers, recording of Ministerial Decisions, the initial work programme for the Council, the Strategic Plan and timetable, States Questions and the Code of Conduct for Ministers. As other matters of general interest have been identified they have been discussed at specific meetings.

In addition Ministers have been fully briefed by their departments on the policies of the previous administration, operational matters and other significant issues. The regular Ministerial meetings have also identified matters specific to their portfolios which are then addressed.
