States Greffe: Scrutiny
Deputy Susie Pinel
Minister for Treasury & Resources
By email
12th March 2021 Dear Minister
Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel Fiscal Stimulus Fund
The Panel would like to formally request confirmation as to when the documentation pertaining to the draft recommendations for the Fiscal Stimulus Fund will be provided to the Panel and how long the Panel will have to review the documentation and recommendations.
In the report of [P.128/2020] Establishment and Funding of The Fiscal Stimulus Fund, it is highlighted that as part of the oversight of draft recommendations projects (including those rejected or withdrawn at the initial stage), would be "considered and reviewed by the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel [which] will comment on the outcome for consideration by the Minister for Treasury & Resources."
It is also highlighted in P.128/2020, that the Panel will review and pass comment on the Fiscal Stimulus Oversight Group's recommendations prior to final decision by public Ministerial Decision. The Panel would therefore expect that these will be forwarded post haste, to allow the Panel sufficient time to review them within our already constrained work programme and thus enable you to finalise your decision. You had previously indicated to the Panel that these recommendations could be anticipated in the week commencing the 22nd February 2021.
If the fiscal stimulus fund is to have the desired effect and play a part in the island's economic recovery, these measures need to be decided upon and monies distributed in a timely fashion and we would not want to cause delay.
I look forward to your response and would appreciate it if this could be received by Tuesday 16th March 2021.
Yours sincerely
Senator Kristina Moore
Chair, Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
