Item 1 08.05.17 515/39 | 2. Jersey Sport: Establishment The Panel considered the outcomes of a private meeting with the Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture on 8th May, and an informal discussion between the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Deputy Chief Officer for EDTSC held earlier on 10th May. The Panel agreed that in order to guard against the possibility of the purposes of the Trust being changed in future, it would be best if the Minister was appointed as the Enforcer to the Trust, or given relevant powers over the Enforcer. The Panel supported the idea of a Memorandum of Understanding or letter of wishes' setting out both the minimum responsibilities of Trustees and the information that they could expect to receive from the Company. It was understood that the department was still seeking permission from Ogier's and the Law Officer's Department to share advice previously received with the Panel. Members agreed that the Partnership Agreement between the department and the Company should ideally be presented to the States prior to the debate, possibly as an addendum to the report on the Proposition. The possibility of a Panel meeting with the Comptroller and Auditor General was raised, as it was felt that her ongoing review of arm's length organisations might offer some useful insight. The Scrutiny Officer was asked to enquire if a meeting could be arranged. | MO |
