But this could be years away if the States reject the deal currently on the table, because any inquiry would be conducted after the legal proceedings have been concluded.
P & R president Senator Frank Walker said that the proposed inquiry would go back to the beginning of the whole saga in the 1980s.
P & R also reject any assertions that it, or any of its individual members, have breached States probity rules in the way the Les Pas deal has been handled.Meanwhile, Senator Walker contends that it is now for States Members to decide on the issue.
‘If they don’t like the out-of-court settlement proposed, they should vote against it and persuade their colleagues to support their stance,’ he said.States Members will have to decide later this month whether or not to support the proposal that would give Les Pas a £10m prime waterfront site overlooking the Elizabeth Marina in return for the company dropping its legal claim to the St Helier foreshore.
