Reprimand call could lead to resignation

A MEMBER of the States Assembly and Constitution Committee may resign if he decides to vote against a report recommending that a fellow politician be reprimanded.

Richard Conder said he was minded not to support a code of conduct panel's reprimand recommendation, triggered by a complaint against Mike Hadley after he leaked a document identifying inadequacies in the Accident and Emergency Department at the PEH.

However, as Sacc was tasked with presenting the report under its mandate, Deputy Conder, pictured, questioned whether voting against it would compromise his position as a member.

He said: ''I will not make a decision on how to vote until after the debate. However, at this stage I am minded to speak and vote against it. If that was the case I would have to reflect and consult with my colleagues about my position on the committee.'
