Government reforms

​Clothier reforms

A ministerial system of government was introduced in Jersey in December 2005.

The Clothier Report into the Island's machinery of government made wide-ranging recommendations for change.

The form of ministerial government used in Jersey today grew from these Clothier proposals.
