1. Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel New Police HQ: Proposed Location Review

The Committee considered the Scoping Document and Terms of Reference for the Review. A number of concerns were raised by the Committee in relation to:

The short timeframe available to the Panel to complete the Review ahead of States debate on 20th November 2012 of P.92/2012 Police Station Relocation: review of decision;
The possible overlooking of all relevant documentation, particularly on the issue of traffic;
The absence of Public Hearings as a means of evidence gathering;
The omission of key Planning aspects from the Review;
The possibility that the Review would be more comprehensive if undertaken by a Sub-Panel combining members of the Education and Home Affairs and Environment Scrutiny Panels.

The Chairman and Officer of the Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel addressed all concerns raised to the satisfaction of the Committee, with the exception of the Chairman of the Environment Scrutiny Panel due to his concern over the omission of planning aspects which could have been considered through the formation of a Sub-Panel.
