during a televised interview PERSONAL STATEMENT TO BE MADE BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

 ON 29th NOVEMBER 2005

I wish to apologise wholeheartedly for my behaviour on the Deputies election night in allowing myself to be interviewed by Channel Television whilst my judgement was impaired as a result of over-celebration

In particular, I was unaware that the camera was still filming when I used a swear word which was made public.

I have already apologised to the electorate of the Island, especially those of St. Helier No. 2 district who deserve higher standards from their representative. My actions were inappropriate for a member of this Assembly and I take this opportunity to extend my apology to the members of this Chamber, and do so unreservedly. Members may rest assured that my usual high standards are back in place and that there will be no further lapses on my part.
