​Request

Further to numerous Freedom of Information Requests in which it has been revealed that Deputy Sam Mezec has been reprimanded three times by the Privileges and Procedures Committee (PPC) for his online internet behaviour towards others.

I would like to know if any of these upheld complaints were further referred to the States of Jersey Police by PPC for consideration under the Telecommunications (Jersey) Law 2002, and if they were not, why not?

Response

The Privileges and Procedures Committee did not refer the complaints to the States of Jersey Police, as there was no reason to do so, and the matter was closed.

This response has been issued on behalf of the States Greffe. The States Greffe is responsible for the information held by (and on behalf of) both itself and the States Assembly.  Neither the States Assembly nor the States Greffe form part of the Government of Jersey and the Government was not involved either in the examination and retrieval of any information required for this response, nor in the drafting of the response itself.​​
