HOUSING Minister Terry Le Main and Senator Stuart Syvret have both been found to have broken the States Members’ code of conduct for sending offensive e-mails – but neither will face any action.
The Privileges and Procedures Committee have reviewed the complaints, without the input of the two Senators, who refused to attend hearings, and found that both failed to uphold the code.
The reports have been presented to the States exactly a week before the ministerial elections, in which Senator Le Main is likely to be a candidate for Housing Minister again.
He was accused of sending offensive e-mails to two members of the public in October, and Senator Syvret was accused of sending an offensive message to Senator Freddie Cohen in August.
