CHIEF Minister-designate Lyndon Farnham has revealed his choices for the new Council of Ministers.

The Deputy is planning to overhaul the team, putting forward just a small number of existing ministers.

Other States Members can, however, put themselves forward for the positions.

The States will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) to elect the ministers.

His choices are:

Deputy Chief Minister: Deputy Tom Binet

External Relations: Deputy Ian Gorst

Health: Deputy Tom Binet

Infrastructure: Constable Andy Jehan

Treasury: Deputy Elaine Millar

Social Security: Deputy Lyndsay Feltham

Home Affairs: Deputy Mary Le Hegerat

Housing: Deputy Sam Mézec

Children and Education: Constable Richard Vibert

Economic Development: Deputy Kirsten Morel

Environment: Deputy Steve Luce

International Development: Deputy Carolyn Labey

Deputy Farnham is also planning to replace the current role of Children and Education MInister with two new ministries: Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning and a Minister for Children.

This will require an Order to be drafted under Article 29A of the States of Jersey Law 2005.

In the meantime, Constable Richard Vibert will be nominated to the existing role of Children and Education Minister, and as soon as the Order is given effect, Deputy Robert Ward will be nominated as Minister for Education and Lifelong Learning.
