Item 19.05.14 516/39 | 3 | 2. Draft Explosives (Jersey) Law 201- The Panel approved the first draft of comments in response to P.96/2014 which had been lodged by the Minister for Home Affairs. It was noted that the proposition failed to include the notification of Constables in Article 23 and the Minister had been notified of the concerns of the Panel. It was clear that an amendment was needed either by the Minister or by the Panel to rectify the problem. The Panel was awaiting a response from the Minister. | MR |

Item 19.05.14 516/41 | 7 | 4. Youth Service The Panel noted that the scoping documents for the review had been approved by the Chairmen's Committee and that the review was ready to go should time allow. It was noted, however, that the scrutiny work of the Panel was likely to finish at the end of July 2014, due to the commitments of Members leading through the summer break and into September and October. Therefore it was unlikely that this review would be started. Should that be the case, the Panel would include the review in its legacy report. |
