Item 1 16.12.14 513/46 | 1. Jersey International Finance Centre The Panel considered the overview briefing provided on 16th December by its adviser for the Review, Mr R. Law, regarding the work that he had undertaken to date in assisting the Panel to gather background information and inform the development of its Terms of Reference. The Panel noted the comments of its adviser. It agreed that the matter remained of significant public interest and that it would continue to prepare its next steps in line with its previously approved scoping document. It therefore requested that its existing draft Terms of Reference be re-circulated for Panel comment by 5th January 2015, with a view to their approval and the public phase of the Review commencing shortly thereafter. Mindful of the timeframe established, the Panel further agreed that the adviser should be requested to submit the anticipated written paper, in conclusion of his opening phase of work regarding the Terms of Reference, early in the New Year. | TO TO TO |
513/47 | 2. Re-naming of Ministers and Transfer of Functions The Panel discussed its draft Scoping Document for the Review, and associated draft correspondence for attention of the Chief Minister. It noted that the draft States of Jersey (Establishment of Minister, Re- Naming of Ministers and Transfer of Functions) (Jersey) Regulations 201- remained un-lodged by the Chief Minister at the request of the Panel as it considered its approach to and timeframe of its Review. The Panel also discussed and approved its Terms of Reference. Further to its discussions, the Panel agreed that its Scoping Document should be updated accordingly and distributed to the Chairmen's Committee, with a view to beginning evidence gathering in public in the New Year. It re-confirmed its intention to seek to appoint advisers to the Review where such need was identified, and initial consideration was given to potential advice in relation to financial services regulation and property management. | TO |
| Correspondence outlining the Panel's planned timeframe and confirming that it was content for the Chief Minister to proceed to lodge the draft Regulations, subject to agreement on the timing of debate providing the Panel sufficient time to satisfactorily undertake its Review, would be drafted for the Chairman's approval. | TO/JLF |
