Senator Ian Gorst will be one of three politicians in the spotlight in St Brelade in the first of a new series of monthly Question Time-style debates.
He will be joining the assistant minister responsible for sport St Brelade Constable Steve Pallett and the States longest-serving Deputy Judy Martin at the event at the Parish Hall on Tuesday 27 January. The three will be joined on the panel by Vicky, and by former Health Minister Ben Shenton – now the chairman of the Co-op.
The debate is being hosted by independent pressure group Change Jersey who want to get more people engaging with local politics and the Island’s politicians.
Organiser James Rondel said: “We want to do this once a month, and we want it to be lively and engaging.
“The idea behind the sessions is to expose our politicians to some real questions from the public – we don’t want to get stuck into the same old issues and the same old faces, we want to get right into things that actually matter to people.”
The debate, which is being chaired by Bailiwick Express news editor Ben Queree, starts at 7.30 pm.
