The former president led the committee from 2016 to 2020. After nearly five years in the political wilderness, he is back at the top table.
‘I’m very grateful to have gained the early support of my colleagues,’ he said.
‘In this role, I look forward to serving the committee and supporting the president.
‘The mandate of the Policy & Resources Committee is vast, and I know from experience how challenging it is given its role in providing leadership and coordination to the work of government.
‘Many of the challenges faced by our island are, at this point, well-documented and it’s essential that this Assembly makes significant progress in addressing them this political term.’
President Lindsay de Sausmarez said her vice-president’s experience would be invaluable.
‘The whole committee is looking forward to getting on with our work and I was pleased we wasted no time by meeting on Thursday, with our next meeting scheduled for Tuesday.’
The States elected its committee presidents on Friday, with the other members being chosen on Monday.
