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.
