P.7/2023 — Vote of No Confidence – Chair of the Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel.pour (low)
No evidence was found that Deputy Tom Binet lodged a proposition, ministerial statement, or policy initiative specifically targeting the procedure for enforcing Jersey Complaints Board outcomes in favour of successful complainants during the 2022–2026 term. The broader complaints-handling reform that did proceed — including the Jersey Law Commission's 2024 report, a public consultation in early 2025, and an R.50/2026 roadmap report — was led by the Chief Minister's office and tasked to Assistant Minister Deputy Moz Scott in October 2024, not to Binet. That wider reform moreover remained unresolved at the end of the 2022–2026 Assembly term, with final proposals explicitly deferred to the incoming 2026–2030 Council of Ministers. The Administrative Decisions (Review) (Jersey) Law 1982, which governs Board proceedings and enforcement of its findings, was unreformed throughout the term.
