The middle year of an Assembly is often one where there is a consolidation, and 2016 is no exception. New Members elected in 2014 and Members elected to new positions, whether as Ministers or to Scrutiny, have settled. The number of questions asked and the number of statements made has gone up, and slightly more time has been spent on Public Business. As always, this Report shows the breadth of the work undertaken in and about the States Assembly for the benefit of the Public, and it repays study. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking the Greffier

  • Independent Review of Jersey Members' Remuneration Process
    STATES OF JERSEY INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF JERSEY MEMBERS’ REMUNERATION PROCESS Presented to the States on 27th October 2020 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee STATES GREFFE 2020 R.121 2 REPORT The Privileges and Procedures Committee (PPC) presented the ‘States Members’ Remuneration Review Body: Recommendations for Remuneration beyond the 2022 General Election (R.89/2019)’ report in July 2019 (the ‘SMRRB Report’). PPC had a number of questions about the methodology that the States Members’ Remuneration Review Body (SMRRB’) used in the SMRRB Report and also queried whether the arrangements for setting States Members’ pay were in line with international best practice. As a result, PPC commissioned Dr. Hannah White OBE to undertake an independent review into the Jersey Members’ remuneration process (the ‘Review’) at a cost of £2,500. The Review is published with this document as an Appendix. PPC records its thanks to Dr. White for undertaking the Review. The terms of reference for the Review were: 1. To conduct a paper-based review of the current system for determining the remuneration of Members of the States (including the most recent report of the SMRRB); 2. To examine the equivalent systems used by relevant comparator legislatures (especially smaller and sub-national, ideally including Guernsey, Isle of Man, Westminster, Scotland, Wales, New Zealand, Australia and Canada); and 3. To make recommendations. PPC intends to consider how to respond to the recommendations provided in the Review in due course. R.121/2020 APPENDIX Independent review of Jersey Members’ remuneration process Dr Hannah White, July 2020 Background to this review On 22 July 2019, the Procedures and Privileges Committee (PPC) presented to the Jersey States the latest report of the States Members’ Remuneration Review Body (SMRRB): Recommendations for remuneration beyond the 2022 general election.

    STATES OF JERSEY AMENDMENT OF THE STANDING ORDERS OF THE STATES OF JERSEY TO PROVIDE FOR POLITICAL PARTIES Lodged au Greffe on 11th December 2020 by Senator S.Y. Mézec STATES GREFFE 2020 P.166 PROPOSITION THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion − that the Standing Orders of the States of Jersey should be amended to take into account that members of the States Assembly may choose to organise themselves within political parties, and to request the Privileges and Procedures Committee to investigate and bring forward the necessary amendments that are appropriate to facilitate this by the end of 2021. SENATOR S.Y. MÉZEC Page - 2 P.166/2020 REPORT “Criteria for the formation of parliamentary party groups, and their rights and responsibilities in the Legislature, shall be clearly stated in the Rules” – Section 4.2.1 of the Commonwealth Recommended Benchmarks for Democratic Legislatures1 Whether Jersey further develops into a party political system is ultimately a matter for the electorate. But at the last two general elections, enough members of the public decided that they wished to be represented by States Members who are affiliated to a party, to end up with some being elected. Yet those members elected have not had it recognised in any form by the procedures of the Assembly that they are affiliated to a party and conduct their work on behalf of their constituents on that basis. This proposition asks that the Privileges and Procedures Committee (PPC) be tasked with investigating the appropriateness of bringing forward any amendments to Standing Orders to enable the recognition that some elected members will be affiliated with a party, and outline their rights and responsibilities, as per the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s (CPA) recommended benchmarks.

  • Modernizing Government in the Channel Islands: New Political Executives in British Crovvn Dependencies
    Modernizing Government in the Channel Islands: New Political Executives in British Crovvn Dependencies Philip Morris* Abstract This article examines recent reforms of internal government arrangements in the Channel Islands jurisdictions of Jersey and Guernsey. These reforms represent the most far-reaching changes in insular government for over half a century in response to concerns over slow and poor-quality decision-making, conflicts of interest, absence of effective accountability mechanisms and external critique of aspects of the Islands' offshore finance sectors, upon which their economies are heavily dependent. The article is structured into three sections. Section I outlines the constitutional position of both jurisdictions, the pressures for reform and the political economy of British offshore finance centres. Section II critically evaluates key features of the new systems and their performances to date. The final part, Section III, highlights key themes including the necessity for external pressure as a trigger for reform, selective/diluted implementation of reform packages and the problem of genuine accountability in small jurisdictions. Keywords: Jersey, Guernsey, governments, reform, offshore, accountability I. Background: Constitutional Context and the Political Economy of British Isles Offshore Finance Centres The Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey are distinct jurisdictions which enjoy a constitutional status that can only be characterized as 'unique'.' They are neither part of the United Kingdom nor colonies: * Independent public law researcher; e-mail: [email protected]. The background work for this article was prepared while the author was Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Stirling. The author expresses his gratitude to those officials of the States Public Libraries in St Helier, Jersey and St Peter Port, Guernsey for their assistance during field trips to the Islands.

  • Comité Des Connétables
    STATES OF JERSEY COMPOSITION AND ELECTION OF THE STATES: PROPOSED CHANGES (P.139/2020) – COMMENTS Presented to the States on 25th November 2020 by the Comité des Connétables STATES GREFFE 2020 P.139 Com. COMMENTS 1. Executive summary 1.1. These comments are submitted to assist States members as they consider another raft of proposals for electoral reform1. 1.2. P.7/2020, on which P.139/2020 is based, was withdrawn so that a working group could try to build a broad consensus on electoral reform – there is no reference to this working group in PPC’s Report. 1.3. Is the P.139/2020 ‘compromise’ an improvement on the current system? Does it align with the previously expressed wish of the electorate (referenda in April 2013 (16,624 voters) and October 2014 (24,130 voters)) and more recent public meetings in 2019 to consider P.126/2019 and will a further referendum be held to seek approval? 1.4. In written answer WQ52/2020 H M Attorney General said about Article 3 of the First Protocol to the ECHR (“A3P1”): There is no reason at present to consider that the electoral system for the States Assembly would breach the requirements of A3P1. 1.5. Respecting the Parish boundaries and the retention of Connétables as members of the States is vitally important. There is no single correct electoral system, and it is universally recognised that this is ultimately a matter for the people of each country. 1.6. The proposition and amendments do not address many of the other recommendations in the CPA EOM2 report which could have a more significant impact on civic engagement and the electoral system.

  • Country Report
    Corporal punishment of children in Jersey LAST UPDATED December 2019 Also available online at www.endcorporalpunishment.org Child population (0-19) 20,664 (Government of Jersey, 2011) Law reform has been achieved. Corporal punishment is unlawful in all settings, including the home. Note: Jersey is a British Crown Dependency. As such, it is not part of the UK and has no representation in Parliament. It is internally self-governing, with its own legislative assembly responsible for making primary and secondary domestic legislation, the former requiring Royal Assent or Sanction. It has its own administrative, fiscal and legal system and its own courts of law. The British Crown, acting through the Privy Council, is ultimately responsible for the good government of Jersey.1 Prohibition of corporal punishment Home Corporal punishment is prohibited in the home, under the Children and Education (Amendment) (Jersey) Law 2019. The 2019 Law repeals article 35(5) of the Children (Jersey) Law 2002 which previously recognised the right of “any parent, teacher or other person having the lawful control or charge of a child to administer punishment to the child”. This right of parents to administer “reasonable chastisement” was also recognised under English common law. The Law also replaces article 79 of the Children (Jersey) Law 2002 with a new article 79 entitled “Abolition of defence of reasonable corporal punishment” which states: “(1) Any defence of reasonable corporal punishment of a child under customary law is abolished. (2) Accordingly, corporal punishment of a child cannot be justified in any civil or criminal proceedings on the grounds that it constituted, for the purposes of any rule of customary law – (a) reasonable punishment; or (b) acceptable conduct.
