KEY policy issues facing Guernsey are on the table today at a meeting between Chief Minister Lyndon Trott and Michael Wills, the Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice.
This Is Guernsey
freedom of information
Election’s transparent difference
WHAT a difference an election makes. Just a few months ago, islanders were assured that the Policy Council was too busy even to consider insignificant matters such as freedom of information.
Information belongs to everyone, not just States
The move towards freedom of information is growing. As Nick Mann reports, it is a lot more than a charter for nosy journalists to find things out.
FoI is a better way
AN ATTEMPT by the BBC to shed additional light on the reasons for the withdrawal of the cheaper tender to build the PEH clinical block was in part rejected as being prejudicial to the interests of the United Kingdom.
Reform is on the way
AN ADVERTISING campaign in this newspaper by the owners of Brecqhou have touched on two issues – freedom of information and the role of the Crown Officers – that some Bailiwick residents believe is none of their concern.
Unlock all the doors
CONFIRMATION that some of the alleged victims of child abuse at the now infamous Haut de la Garenne are from Guernsey makes the grim scenes being played out daily on national television all the more real and relevant for this Bailiwick.
The double standards of secrecy
THE refusal last week by Treasury and Resources to confirm that multi-millionaire Tom Scott is indeed the new owner of Belvedere House is a worrying development for a new-look States that is considering whether to adopt the principle of freedom of information.
