Draft Building Bye-laws (Amendment) (Jersey) 2006

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision(s)

To approve the Draft Building Bye-law, which increases the fees for applications, made under the Building Bye-laws (Jersey) 2004 and amends the standard for accreditation in the definition of “competent person” for the purposes of certifying compliance with the requirements relating to electrical safety.

Reason(s) for decision:

The decision to increase fees had previously been approved by the Environment and Public Services Committee at its meeting of 17th November 2005, and by the Finance and Economics Committee, at its meeting of 24th November 2004 and this is the approval of the draft Bye-law.

The reason to amend the definition of “competent person” is due to changes to the British Standard which sets the assessment criteria for certification of such persons.

Action required:

MR to advise the Law Draftsman and the Greffier of the States that the Building Bye-law has been made.

Signature:

(Minister)

Date of Decision:

24th January 2006
