WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARTIN
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th FEBRUARY 2011
Question
With reference to the removal of Part (d) from the Napier Terms of Reference will the Chief Minister inform Members –
- the date on the former Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police's letter to the Deputy Chief Executive when he actually agreed to partake in the Review without any caveats?
- the date when the Chief Minister was informed that part (d) was removed from the Napier Terms of Reference?
- why the Chief Minister did not inform Members or the Deputy of St Martin of the deletion?
- the date when the Deputy Chief Executive submitted the Terms of Reference and Mr Napier's CV to the Council of Ministers?
- the date when the Chief Minister signed the Ministerial Decision?
- the date when R.39/2010 was submitted for printing prior to being presented?
Answer
- The former Chief Officer of Police responded on 31 March 2010, indicating his clear intention to fully participate in the review process being conducted by Mr. Brian Napier QC. The former Chief Officer of Police also wrote to the Deputy Chief Executive on 22 April 2010, having received certain clarifications to points raised in earlier correspondence again indicating his full participation in the review process.
- The Chief Minister was not informed that part (d) of the Terms of Reference contained in R.39/2010 had been removed. I stated in my answer to the Deputy of St. Martin on 18 January 2011, paragraph (e) that the relevant paragraph was not removed from the Terms of Reference. There was a reproduction error when the report was sent from my Department which omitted page 2 of the report that contained the relevant paragraph (d) in the Terms of Reference as well as other information relating to the preparation of reports etc.
- I refer the Deputy of St. Martin to my answer of 18 January 2011, where I answered this question in part (f) of the Question.
- The Terms of Reference were submitted to the Council of Ministers on 9 April 2010.
- The Ministerial Decision signed by the Chief Minister on 13 April 2010.
- R.39/2010 was submitted to the Greffe before printing on 13 April 2010.
