Law drafting in progress (FOI)

Request

On 14 July 2014, Deputy Jeremy Macon asked this question in the States:

“Will the Chief Minister produce the law drafting list for all departments including the estimated completion dates for each piece?”

A table was provided listing the Law Draftsman’s Office work currently in progress.

It did not include draft enactments that have been lodged for debate or any project for which drafting instructions haven’t yet been received.

Please could I have available an updated list of the law drafting list for all departments including the estimated completion dates for each piece – as a request under the Freedom of Information Law.

Response

The table in the PDF document below is a list of the Law Draftsman’s Office work currently in progress. It does not include draft enactments that have been lodged for debate or legislation for which drafting instructions have not yet been received. 

If the estimated completion date is blank, the law draftsman is unable to provide an estimate of when the legislation will be completed. 

For the purpose of this table, legislation is considered complete when the enactment is lodged or made and “ready” indicates enactments which the law draftsman considers to be ready to be lodged or made, as the case may be.
