02/07/14 Item 1 513/44 | 1. Draft 2015 Budget The Panel received a briefing from Senator P.F.C. Ozouf , Minister for Treasury and Resources, on the Draft 2015 Budget. The Minister was accompanied by Deputy E.J. Noel, Assistant Minister for Treasury and Resources, Ms. L. Rowley, Treasurer of the States, and other officers from the Department of Treasury and Resources and Customs and Immigration Section. The briefing was provided in private session under Paragraph 3.2.1(a)(xiv) of the Code of Practice on Public Access to Official Information and a private record was therefore taken. Subsequent to the briefing, the Panel was advised that arrangements had been made for representatives of the Chamber of Commerce to attend a public hearing on 24th July 2014. It was noted that an invitation had also been extended to the Institute of Directors. The Panel subsequently noted that the Minister would be unable to attend the proposed public hearing on 31st July 2014, notwithstanding that the date had been agreed for some time. The Scrutiny Officer was requested to investigate the procedural basis on which another Minister could be asked to stand in for the Minister on 31st July 2014. The Scrutiny Officer was also asked to investigate whether the temporary rescindment of Deputy Vallois's co-option to the Panel might allow the public hearing to take place on 29th July 2014, the Minister's suggested alternative date. | WM WM |

513/42 | The Panel was advised that its expert advisor from BWCI Consulting Limited had met the Treasurer of the States and officers of her Department on 1st July 2014. The Panel was further advised that, subsequent to that meeting, law-drafting instructions and a copy of the Draft Public Employees (Pension Scheme) (Administration) (Jersey) Regulations 201- had been provided for the advisor's attention. Nevertheless, it was not yet clear that a sufficient number of Regulations would be lodged by mid-July 2014 to allow the advisor to begin work in earnest and the Panel therefore noted that it remained unclear what work, if any, could feasibly be undertaken on the review. The Panel noted that it had effectively become impractical for the Panel to hold further public hearings for this review. |
