Item 1 25/04/16 513/50 | 2. MTFP Addition The Panel was informed that the Fiscal Policy Panel (FPP) would be on Island on 8th June and would like to meet with the Panel during its visit. The Panel agreed and asked that the allocated time be confirmed. The Panel discussed the timings of the Public Hearings due to be held with the relevant Ministers in relation to the MTFP Addition. The Panel agreed that the timeslots available for Ministers were less than ideal under the circumstances of the MTFP being lodged during the Summer recess. The Panel confirmed the hearing with the Minister for Treasury and Resources would go ahead on 2nd September as planned, however, requested the hearing with the Chief Minister, currently due on 5th September, be rescheduled to the week commencing 19th September. The Panel agreed it would do a presentation to all States Members on the MTFP Addition on the morning of 26th September prior to the States sitting that day. The Panel discussed its timeline for presentation of its report on the MTFP Addition. The Panel initially agreed on a presentation date of 9th September, however, following further discussion, it was agreed this would not be achievable due to the timing of the hearing with the Minister for Treasury and Resources on 2nd September and the deadline given to the advisor of 31st August. The Chairman discussed the importance of presenting a document prior to the deadline date for MTFP Addition amendments of 13th September. The Panel therefore agreed to present an interim report by 9th September with its final report presented week commencing 19th September. The Panel requested that the advisor be contacted to see if their report could be drafted by 22nd August for circulation to the Panel. | JH JH |
