(b)  The functions of the Bailiff as Civic Head are explained within the Review of the Roles of the Crown Officers presented to the States Assembly by the Chief Minister on 6th December 2010 (R.143/2010). The responsibilities of the office of Chief Minister are outlined in the latest report on Ministerial Responsibilities presented to the States Assembly by the Chief Minister on 18th February 2014 (R.19/2014). As can be seen from these documents, rather than there being areas of duplication, the respective functions and responsibilities of each position are different and complementary to each other.
