This week Deputy Montfort Tadier has called for Deputy Lewis to stand down as a States Member and let voters decide whether he should be returned to the Chamber.
Deputy Lewis was found by the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry to have lied over the suspension of former police chief Graham Power in 2008.
The Privileges and Procedures Committee – the body that oversees the procedures of the States Assembly – has since found that Deputy Lewis breached the States Code of Conduct, with a full public report by the committee due to be released in the coming weeks.
Deputy Tadier said that Deputy Lewis should now resign and, if he wished to, stand in the by-election that would follow and explain his stance to voters in the St Helier district he represents.
Do you agree?
