Jersey's former chief minister has urged the States to support Senator John Le Fondre and his new government.

The States approved the new Council of Ministers, with infrastructure, environment and health all fought over, but just one of Senator Le Fondre's choices being defeated.

The former leader of the government, Senator Ian Gorst, is now the external relations minister. On being elected to his new post Senator Gorst thanked the chamber for their "overwhelming support" lightheartedly adding, "I just wish it had been a little earlier in the week", referencing the leadership race between himself and Senator Le Fondre.

At the end of the sitting yesterday he urged his supporters to get behind the new leader.

Deputy Jan Kuttelwascher has been cautioned for remarks he made to islanders campaigning for Guernsey to allow assisted dying last month.

Sarah Griffith lodged a complaint under the Code of Conduct for Members of the States of Deliberation, external.

Ms Griffith complained that the comments Deputy Kuttelwascher made on the 16 May on the steps of the Royal Court House had breached sections 8 and 9 of the Code, both of which relate to the "Member's Conduct".

Mr Kuttelwascher said to assisted dying campaigners "there's a number of people I'd like to assist in dying, but they'd object" prompting a backlash from some States members.

He later issued an apology on the final day of the debate.

An investigation panel met with Ms Griffith and Deputy Kuttelwascher and agreed both sections of the code had been breached.

However, it decided the breach of conduct was of a "minor nature" and cautioned Deputy Kuttelwascher. He accepted the caution and no further action will take place.

The amendment even gives an example adaptation of an on-site shuttle service for mourners.
