With regard to the proposition P.54/2016 Bailiff of Jersey: cessation of dual role and the appointment of an elected Speaker of the States', would a decision to retain the current position of the Bailiff of Jersey as both Chief Justice and speaker of Jersey's legislature impact upon Jersey's international reputation and, consequently, its economy?
