Whilstleblowing: Introduction of Legislation: Amendment of the Chief Minister

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

A decision made 10 July 2023:

Decision Reference: MD-CM-2023-452		Public
Subject: Whistleblowing - Introduction of legislation (P.47/2023): Amendment
Report Title: Whistleblowing - Introduction of legislation (P.47/2023): Amendment		Public
Decision(s): The Minister decided to request the Greffier of the States to arrange for an Amendment to P.47/2023 Whistleblowing - Introduction of legislation, to be lodged 'au Greffe'.
Reason for Decision(s): The Amendment, if passed, would extend the timeframe within which whistleblowing proposals are to be developed to December 2024, as well as placing the responsibility for developing proposals with the Minister for Social Security.
Resource Implications: There are no additional financial implications arising from the amendment. Policy resources will be required to undertake this project and therefore will not be available for other agreed priorities. It is not yet clear if the implementation of any policy will have ongoing revenue costs for Government. To the extent such costs arise, the report does not identify a funding source for this additional expenditure and this will be investigated as part of the overall project in 2024. Whilst Ministers are supportive of this proposal, its implementation will be entirely dependent upon securing sufficient funding (if any) on an ongoing basis. Concluding the project by the end of 2024 will allow for a bid for funding in the 2025 Government Plan to be sought, if necessary.
Action Required: Private Secretary to request the Greffier of the States to arrange for the amendment to be lodged to be debated at the States sitting on the 18th July 2023.
