b) To delegate authority to the Policy & Resources Committee to approve expenditure, subject to the submission of appropriate business cases by the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture, of up to £4 million for additional capital developments at each of the 11-18 colleges to accommodate services to children and their families which would benefit from working in closer partnership with the school and colleges;
c) To agree that the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture, the Committee for Health & Social Care and the States' Trading Supervisory Board shall jointly investigate the merits and feasibility of the site at Les Varendes which currently accommodates the Grammar School & Sixth Form Centre, or other sites in the ownership of the States which the Board wishes to include in such investigations, accommodating in the future a range of health, care and community services, commissions and other bodies which provide services on behalf of the States; and to direct the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture and the Committee for Health & Social Care to return to the States with their conclusions and any propositions they consider necessary well in advance of the time when secondary education will cease to be provided at Les Varendes.
The above Propositions have been submitted to Her Majesty's Procureur for advice on any legal or constitutional implications in accordance with Rule 4(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the States of Deliberation and their Committees.
