4.4 Deputy K.C. Lewis of St. Saviour of the Minister for Transport and Technical Services regarding delays in the implementation of the Draft Road Works and Events (Jersey) Law 201-':
Will the Minister inform Members why there is a delay in implementing the Draft Road Works and Events (Jersey) Law 201-?
Deputy E.J. Noel of St. Lawrence (The Minister for Transport and Technical Services):
Since taking office, as far as I and my Assistant Minister are concerned, there has been no delay in implementing the Draft Street Works Law under our tenure. We instigated a meeting with the Chief Minister, Law Draftsman, and officers on 15th January to discuss and agree how to develop this law and how we can bring it to the States as quickly as possible. We have set out a detailed proposed timetable and programme to deliver this important piece of legislation. The Street Works Law has been given a high priority and is being progressed as quickly as resources both within my department and the Law Draftsman's Department will allow.
4.4.1 Deputy K.C. Lewis :
I am getting calls from concerned parishioners that there is a going to be a considerable delay on this. Part of the Street Works and Events Law was the Causing Death by Careless Driving Law. When I was at T.T.S. (Transport and Technical Services) I instructed officers to remove this from the Street Works Law and treat Causing Death by Careless Driving Law as an absolute priority. This follows the road traffic collision and the subsequent death of a young lady on St. Clement 's Coast Road in 2011. Can the Minister inform the Assembly when this will be presented to the States?
Deputy E.J. Noel:
The Deputy did some extremely good work in his time as my predecessor and I can confirm that that particular aspect of the law is being currently worked on by the Law Draftsman and officers and should be coming to the Assembly in as short order as possible. But it is in the hands of the professionals who draft the law.
