AN ELECTED speaker might be considered to replace the Bailiff in the States of Guernsey, but only in the unlikely event that the Jersey public vote for a similar reform.

Jersey is to hold a non-binding public referendum next May on splitting the role of the Bailiff, after the States backed the move earlier this week.
Deputy Matt Fallaize, the States Assembly & Constitution Committee president, said in the unlikely case that Jersey voted for the change, ‘the committee will have to review the position in Guernsey and will probably ask the States whether they want to embark on similar reform’.
