Draft Repatriation of Prisoners (Jersey) Law 201-

Information about the publication of Ministerial Decisions

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject: Draft Repatriation of Prisoners (Jersey) Law 201-.
Decision(s): The Minister for Home Affairs approved the draft Repatriation of Prisoners (Jersey) Law 201- and the accompanying report, and requested that arrangements be made for the draft Law to be lodged ‘au Greffe’ for consideration by the States on 7th June 2011.
Reason(s) for Decision: The introduction of the Law will mirror the equivalent UK Act and will be a necessary step to the Island entering into arrangements with other jurisdictions to return prisoners to their State of nationality.
Resource Implications: It is likely that the introduction of the draft Law will lead to net savings. The only direct cost associated with operating this law is the cost of conveying prisoners back to their home jurisdiction to serve the rest of their sentence. These costs can be absorbed from within existing budgets.
Action required: The Executive Officer, Home Affairs, to request the Greffier of the States to arrange for the draft Law to be lodged ‘au Greffe’ for consideration by the States on 7th June 2011.
