Deputy Montfort Tadier lodged oral questions to the Treasury Minister and Economic Development Minister asking whether they had been ‘requested by the Chief Minister to resign’ or had offered to resign following the publication of a damning report by the Island’s Comptroller and Auditor General into the fund. He had wanted to ask the questions during tomorrow’s States sitting.
However, the Reform Jersey politician claims he has been told by the Bailiff, William Bailhache, that the questions ‘are not allowed’.
During the last States sitting Reform Jersey Deputies Tadier, Sam Mézec and Geoff Southern and the Chief Minister, Ian Gorst, were involved in a heated exchange when the political party members asked several questions about the Innovation Fund.
The Bailiff said that he was unable to comment, as it was a parliamentary matter.
