WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMITÉ DES CONNÉTABLES BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 17th JULY 2012

Question

"Will the Chairman explain what steps, if any, he has taken or will take to make sure that the advice of HM Attorney General given during the debate of P.36/2012 Connétable s (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Jersey) Law' on 16th May 2012, that there should be no warrant cards held by Connétable s' is carried out once the Law is in force and will he also state how many of the current Comité des Connétable s carry warrant cards, and if none, when the last ones were surrendered?"

Answer

When it is known on which day the Connétable s (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Jersey) Law will become law, as set out in the Appointed Day Act which the States will need to approve in due course, those Connétable s holding a warrant card will be informed that the warrant card will have to be surrendered on the appointed day.

Currently two Connétable s carry a warrant card as advised in the answer to a similar question on 6th March 2012.
