WQ.164/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIR OF THE COMITÉ DES CONNÉTABLES
BY DEPUTY H.M. MILES OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 7th APRIL 2025
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th APRIL 2025
Question
"Following the publication of Parish Assemblies: A Better Legislative Framework' (R.187/2024) by the Jersey Law Commission, will the Chair outline what action, if any, the Comité intends to take to update the Loi (1804) au sujet des assemblées paroissiales and the Loi (1905) au sujet des assemblées paroissiales in order to modernise the form and functions of the Parish Assembly, including membership, voting rights and public notices of holding an Assembly?"
Answer
The Comité des Connétable s has discussed the Parish Assemblies: A Better Legislative Framework' (R.187/2024) by the Jersey Law Commission and provided its support back in December 2024.
The Jersey Law Commission reports to the Legislation Advisory Panel (the Panel). The Chair of the Comité des Connétable s has met with the Panel in December 2024 to discuss the Parish Assemblies: A Better Legislative Framework'. The Comité understands that the Panel was also supportive of draft legislation being prepared which would be shared with the Comité.
The Comité will therefore be liaising further with the Panel with regard to updates to the Loi (1804) au sujet des assemblées paroissiales and the Loi (1905) au sujet des assemblées paroissiales.
