Committee of Inquiry : Planning issues surrounding the operation of Reg’s Skips Ltd.

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision(s):	The Minister for Planning and Environment approved the report and proposition seeking to establish a Committee of Inquiry – i) to establish whether the various planning applications were determined appropriately and to a standard expected of the Planning and Environment Department; and ii) to establish whether the legal fees accrued by Reg’s Skips Ltd totalling nearly £300,000 were as a result of any failings in the processes or actions of the Planning and Environment Department.
Reason(s) for Decision:	Having reflected on various statements made during the course of the States debate of P.29/2009 (‘Ex Gratia Compensation Payment – Mr. and Mrs. Pinel’) that were critical of the Planning Department, the Minister considered that it was necessary to establish the facts of the matter.
