Secondly, may I acknowledge the presence in the public gallery of the Chief Minister of Guernsey and welcome him to the sitting this morning. Last, but by no means least, may I welcome to the Assembly those new members who are joining us for the first time. I remind members that the only business for the meeting is the selection of the Chief Minister designate, and I invite the Greffier to read the nominations which have been received. The Greffier of the States:.
Mary, Deputy Alan Breckon of St. The Bailiff :. Two names have been put in the Greffier's toque and I shall draw one name out in a moment and that candidate will be the first to speak. Pause The first to speak is Senator Syvret. May I, therefore, ask the second candidate, Senator Walker , to withdraw from the Chamber and he will be called back in due course?
Pause The first candidate will address the Assembly for 10 minutes. The Greffier will sound a bell, Senator, after 9 minutes and then a second bell after 10 minutes, at which the candidate must stop speaking. I will also at that time ask the television cameras to close down so that the period of questioning can take place.
