WQ.45/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY SENATOR K.L. MOORE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th FEBRUARY 2020
Question
Will the Chief Minister advise when he will bring forward proposals to revise the Employment of States of Jersey Employees Law 2005 and to establish the single legal entity for government that arise from the agreement of the Machinery of Government (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Jersey) Law 2018?
Answer
Employment of States of Jersey Employees (Jersey) Law 2005
The Council of Ministers has commissioned a complete review of the Employment of the States of Jersey Employees (Jersey) Law 2005. This review includes addressing the points regarding legislation made in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on the Role and Operation of the States Employment Board, published in March 2019. Initial research is being progressed. Subject to resources, it is anticipated that during the second quarter of 2020 draft proposals will be developed for discussion with key stakeholders. The outcome of that initial consultation phase will inform the scope and scale of the proposed changes and hence the associated timeframe.
Single Legal Entity
Part 4 of the Machinery of Government (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Jersey) Law 2018, as decided by the Assembly in 2018, requires implementing Regulations to be brought into force. These Regulations are currently being drafted in order to update every Law, Regulation and Order in Jersey by replacing references to individual ministerial offices with the single legal entity or alternative arrangements as required. It is anticipated that this work, which commenced last year, will be finalised by September 2020.
