STATES OF JERSEY

DRAFT STATES OF JERSEY (MINISTER FOR EXTERNAL RELATIONS) (JERSEY) REGULATIONS 201-: REPORT OF THE CHIEF MINISTER

Presented to the States on 11th March 2013 by the Chief Minister

STATES GREFFE

2013   Price code: C  R.18

INTRODUCTION

The Chief Minister, in accordance with MD-C-2013-0020, has decided to present these draft Regulations to the States for information to enable them to be considered by the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel before a decision is taken on whether or not they should be lodged for debate.

REPORT

The Council of Ministers, at their meeting on 12th May 2011, endorsed the proposal to establish an office of Minister with responsibility for UK and international relations. The Council of Ministers, at their meeting on 7th December 2012, reaffirmed the proposal to create a Minister for External Relations to share concurrent responsibility for external relations with the Chief Minister. The Council asked that the necessary draft Regulations be referred in the first instance to the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel, and that once the views of the Scrutiny Panel had been considered, the draft Regulations  together  with  an  explanatory  report  should  be  lodged  au Greffe  for consideration by the States Assembly.

The  Corporate  Services  Scrutiny  Panel  has  indicated  that  the  draft  Regulations necessary to create this new ministerial office should in the first instance be presented to the States as a Report in order that they can be made publicly available, and so enable the Panel to undertake their review unhindered by any potential issues of confidentiality.

The Draft States of Jersey (Minister for External Relations) (Jersey) Regulations 201- are  accordingly  conveyed  to  the  States  Assembly  (see  attached  Appendix).  The Council of Ministers hopes that the views of the Scrutiny Panel can be considered before the draft Regulations need to be lodged for debate.
