http://www.thisisjersey.com/2009/05/13/whos-been-sleeping-in-our-states-building/DEPUTY Montfort Tadier has admitted falling asleep overnight in the States building - but says he was working, not sleeping off a night on the town.
The St Brelade No 2 Deputy made a brief statement in the House today because he said he did not want other Members to get into trouble, and because of ‘false and scurrilous’ allegations that he had been drunk.
He said that he dropped off after working late in the Members’ room and the Computer room, after meetings with constituents in town.
Another politician who had gone into work just after 5.30 am is believed to have discovered the Deputy asleep in one of the conference rooms downstairs, on Friday 1 May, after the three-day States sitting.
During States question time yesterday, a number of politicians raised concerns about the incident and pressed the chairman of the Privileges and Procedures Committee about it.
No official complaint was made about the incident, according to States Greffier Michael de la Haye, who did not reveal the name of the offending States Member.
I bet there will be a complaint about it now.
