WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CORPORATE SERVICES SCRUTINY PANEL BY DEPUTY J.M.MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 3rd MAY 2011
Question
Would the Chairman advise whether her Panel intends to scrutinise the forthcoming Civil Partnerships legislation?
Answer
The Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel is currently undertaking reviews into:
- The Draft Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 201- and Draft Register of Names and Addresses (Jersey) Law 201-;
- The Comprehensive Spending Review and;
- The States of Jersey Development Company: Selection Process
It is noted that during the States debate on Civil Partnerships (P.36/2009) the overwhelming majority of the States Assembly voted for same sex-couples to enter into civil partnerships. Taking this into consideration, and the Panel's heavy workload, it is therefore decided that the Panel will not review this forthcoming legislation.
