WQ.134/2026
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY K.M. WILSON OF ST. CLEMENT
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 6th JULY 2026 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 13th JULY 2026
Question
"Will the Chief Minister confirm whether it his intention for Ministers to produce individual Ministerial Plans setting out their individual priorities as part of his Government's Common Strategic Policy and, if so, will he provide the timetable for issue of these plans; and will he further commit to ensuring that there is timely engagement with Scrutiny Panels on any such individual plans and the Common Strategic Policy as a whole?"
Answer
In line with the approach taken by the previous Government, there are no plans to produce individual Ministerial Plans. The Council of Ministers is currently focused on developing its Common Strategic Policy (CSP), which will be lodged by 29th September 2026. The CSP will be referred to the relevant Scrutiny Panels and will subsequently be considered by the States Assembly, in accordance with Article 18(2)(e) and (2A) of the States of Jersey Law 2005.
Alongside this, Ministers will continue to deliver essential public services within their departments, drive improvements, and respond to the needs and concerns of Islanders. Ministerial priorities will be reflected in departmental business plans.
The Council of Ministers looks forward to engaging with Scrutiny Panels in a timely and constructive manner throughout the scrutiny process.
