Deputy Roy Le Hérissier’s amendment to replace the four seats reserved for politicians with more non-elected members is due for debate on 6 March, and he says it is a critical decision.

The commission is to start hearings in May, and will have until the end of the year to come up with a better way of organising the States Chamber.

It will look at changes to the overall number of politicians, the three different classes of politicians, and their terms of office.

Deputy Le Hérissier said that if the States stick with the Privileges and Procedures Committee’s plan to allow three politicians and a States Member chairman on to the commission, it is bound to fail.
