Questions in Jersey Politics
Questions are one of the tools that Jersey's States Members have available to them to understand why and how the Government is doing what it's doing.
- Want to get to grips with a Minister's priorities? Ask a question.
- Want to know how much money is being spent on something? Ask a question.
- Want to understand how long it will take to deliver a new initiative or service? Ask a question.
Questions come in different forms, and depending on who you are and where you're asking them - the answers can come in different forms too.
In this episode we have Deputy Greffier Will Millow and Assistant Greffier Yan Fillieul serving up the essentials of political questions. We cover the various types of questions that can be asked at a States Meeting and branch out into how questions are used by Scrutiny Panels, as well as other situations where the Island's politicians might ask - or be asked - a question.
Episode host: Emily Thomas
Interviewees: William Millow; Yannick Fillieul.
