Policy and Resources has just less than five days to resign after a motion of no confidence was emailed to the Committee yesterday.
If its five members don’t resign, the motion will be elevated to the Bailiff and a date will be set for the motion to be debated by the entire Assembly.
The possibility of the Committee resigning is highly unlikely. The motion was lodged just hours after P&R ran a statement indicating that its members had no intention of stepping down.
The Committee is being asked to quit after it failed to get its preferred tax proposals through the States a second time.
In response, the President of P&R said an early general election would be preferable, arguing that it’s the membership of the Assembly that’s the problem, not the leading Committee.
