3.17 Deputy R.G. Le Hérissier of the Chief Minister regarding the bringing of proposals for the reform of the judicial appointments process to the Assembly:
Would the Chief Minister advise whether and when he will be bringing proposals for the reform of the judicial appointments process to the Assembly and would he provide Members with a brief summary in the interim?
Senator I.J. Gorst (The Chief Minister):
I hope to be in a position to bring forward, during the coming months, a Green Paper on the possible establishment of a judicial and legal services commission as indicated in my written answer on 19th November last year. Given the intention to publish the Green Paper in the coming months I believe it is better to wait for that Green Paper rather than divert resource on to an interim report which could be quickly superseded.
3.17.1 Deputy R.G. Le Hérissier:
Quick question. Could the Minister give us a date for the publication? Senator I.J. Gorst :
That is a good question. Officers are working now on drafting the Green Paper and I hope that it will be ready for publication at the end of the summer.
