Question

Further to the answer given on 31st January 2012 by the Minister for Home Affairs that the then Chief Executive "discovered that Mr. Tapp was very concerned in relation to the press aspects of the handling of the [historic abuse] case" and that he became aware that Mr. Tapp was available to do work for the Chief Executive as he had just been advised his services were not required by the Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police, will the Chief Minister outline for Members exactly how this "discovery" by the Chief Executive took place?

Answer

I am not aware of how the former Chief Executive was advised of Mr Tapp's concerns regarding the external communications relating to Operation Rectangle prior to a meeting the Chief Executive held with Mr Tapp in the afternoon on 8th October 2008
