1. Amendments

The Sub-Panel considered whether to lodge amendments to the draft Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP), noting that suggestions had been made by Deputy J.G. Reed. It was noted that advice had been sought from the Greffier of the States on potential amendments.

The Sub-Panel agreed it was minded to lodge amendments in respect of the following matters:

Reducing Departmental spending limits in order to create growth allocations.
Providing that the delivery of the relevant capital funding would be subject to States approval of the Housing Transformation Programme.
Inserting a provision whereby the Minister for Treasury and Resources would be obliged to develop a monitoring and reporting framework for the MTFP.

The Sub-Panel requested that the Scrutiny Officer draft amendments in line with the Sub-Panel's agreement and that he correspond with the Greffier of the States and the Department of Treasury and Resources regarding the proposed amendments.

The Sub-Panel was advised that it was unable to lodge amendments in its own name. Consideration was given to which body the Sub-Panel would ask to lodge the amendments on its behalf and it was agreed that the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel would be so asked.
