On 11 January 1990, the Executive considered the operational and reporting arrangements for Executive Deputies. I undertook to provide Ministers and Executive Deputies with some more detailed guidelines describing arrangements which might be followed by Executive Deputies in their reporting processes, correspondence, media and speaking arrangements and other relevant issues.
I considered these to be appropriate as part of the normal arrangements which are followed by any Executive in developing its operational arrangements and its specific party or alliance processes.
On 2 February 1990 I wrote to each Minister providing a copy of the generic statement and guidelines which I had prepared for my portfolio (copy is attached Attachment B). In recognition that each portfolio would need to make some amendments to suit the specific requirements of their respective portfolios, Ministers have been asked to consider the generic statement and provide me with a copy of their proposed arrangements for their portfolios.
These are also attached (Attachments C-E). As can be seen from the outline for the operation of Executive Deputies in my portfolio, they in no way can be seen to have executive responsibility. It is abundantly clear that the arrangements proposed provide an appropriate linkage between the Alliance Executive and its Caucus.
In response to the specific issues raised in Ms Folletts questions I would refer you to the guidelines for each portfolio which addresses;
signature of correspondence by Executive Deputies
- refer to the guidelines for each portfolio
