STATEMENT TO BE MADE BY THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE
ON TUESDAY 15th MARCH 2011 Assistant Minister Education, Sport & Culture
Following the election of Deputy Andrew Green to the position of Housing Minister, I have interviewed members who expressed an interest in the vacancy for Assistant Minister at Education, Sport and Culture. I have pleasure in announcing that Deputy Tracey Vallois has been appointed to the post with the approval of the Chief Minister.
As one of the youngest States members, Deputy Vallois has shown herself to be a hardworking, trustworthy, conscientious and compassionate States member who is more than able to stand up for her beliefs.
The candidates each had a wide variety of experience so my decision was a difficult one, and I would like to thank those States Members who came forward.
Finally, I would like to take the opportunity to personally thank Deputy Green for his support over the last couple of years. He has proved to be a hard working and caring individual who I am sure will make an excellent Housing Minister and I look forward to working with him on the Council of Ministers.

- Senator A. Breckon:
I wonder if the Minister can confirm that he has not got a clue on how to solve the traffic situation in St. Saviour and he is happy to delegate that to his new Assistant Minister? [Laughter]
The Bailiff :
I think that is a rhetorical question.
The Deputy of St. Ouen :
I think the Assistant Minister is up for the challenge.
The Bailiff :
No other questions? The Minister for Housing wishes to make a statement. Deputy M. Tadier :
Sorry, I think there were.
The Bailiff :
I am sorry, I did not see you there.
- Deputy M. Tadier :
Behind the mace, I think. Of course we extend our congratulations to Deputy Vallois. Can I ask in total how many candidates put themselves forward for the position?
The Bailiff :
Minister?
The Deputy of St. Ouen :
Five.
The Bailiff :
Very well, Deputy , you are the Minister for Housing.
