Deputy Chris Le Tissier: Recommendation to suspend Guernsey politician

A panel has recommended Deputy Chris Le Tissier is suspended for 12 months

Guernsey's politicians are being asked to consider suspending one of their colleagues for a year without pay.

Deputy Chris Le Tissier was found to have broken the States code of conduct earlier this year.

The issue relates to a Twitter account where anonymous comments were made.

Deputy Le Tissier admitted using a pseudonym for the account. States members will vote on the year-long suspension at their meeting on 14 July.

Twelve weeks ago a code of conduct panel recommended Deputy Le Tissier, who was elected as a first time deputy in October as a member of the Guernsey Party, was expelled from the States, but that verdict was appealed.

A new States code of conduct panel has since recommended suspending Deputy Le Tissier for a year.
