SIX new faces were voted onto the Policy Council yesterday. Only deputies Dave Jones at Housing and Geoff Mahy at Home return to the posts they held at the end of the last term.
Just two others with ministerial experience take a seat on the council: former Culture and Leisure minister Peter Sirett steps up to Environment while one-time Environment minister Bernard Flouquet becomes Public Services minister.
And the latter was again given the deputy chief minister’s job, something he held until losing his council seat in the wake of the PEH clinical block row. But it was a bad day for his successor at Environment, Deputy David De Lisle, who lost to Deputy Sirett by just one vote.

Dave Jones has been voted back to Housing? This is the guy who has made all states house tenants scared of doing over time to improve their lives. An absurd mistake by Lyndon Trott to re-appoint this guy. Island wide voting should be introduced before the next election. How is it fair that a deputy who lives in the Vale has the ability to make decisions affecting the lives of states house tenants elsewhere in the island. It isn’t.
