2.11   Deputy M.R. Higgins of the Minister for Economic Development regarding the appointments process followed by Jersey's Harbours and Airport Departments:

Would the Minister advise whether all appointments by Jersey Ports follow best practice with regard to internal and external advertising and competitive interviews, which include independent interviewers and the people appointed meet or largely meet the criteria laid down in published job descriptions with regard to experience and qualifications?

Senator A.J.H. Maclean (The Minister for Economic Development): Yes, they were.

Deputy M.R. Higgins:

I am sorry, Sir, I missed the answer.

The Bailiff :

The answer is: "Yes, they were."

  1. Deputy M.R. Higgins:

In that case I am not going to do it publicly but I shall be providing some information to the Minister which makes me believe that he is mistaken and I would hope that he will review the situation.

[11:15]

Senator A.J.H. Maclean:

I am always delighted to engage with Members who have information that they would like me to consider and if the Deputy wishes to approach me on areas of concern I am happy to consider them.

  1. Deputy M. Tadier :

Will the  Minister  share  some  of  his  evident  skills  at  answering  questions  concisely  with  the Minister for Treasury and Resources? [Laughter]

Senator A.J.H. Maclean: Ministers share many things.
