The Policy and Resources Committee was created on 1 May 2016 to replace the Policy Council of Guernsey as the Senior Committee of the system of government in Guernsey

Guernsey operates a system of government by committees and consensus. There are no political parties. The members of the parliament, which is known as the States of Deliberation, are elected as independents. The States of Deliberation is both parliament and executive, but it delegates most of its executive functions to policy-specific committees, which are known as States Departments, each of which is run by five political members, all of whom have equal voting power.

Objectives

To provide advice for the States of Guernsey, to develop policies and programmes and to implement such policies when approved relating to: ^[1]

Leadership and co-ordination of the work of the States
Fiscal policy, economic affairs and the financial and other resources of the States
External relations and international and constitutional affairs
Other matters which have been delegated to the Committee

Committee

The Committee is elected by States Deputies for a period of four years.^[2]

The current Committee comprises a president and four members.^[3]

The President is the de facto head of government of Guernsey and may be given the title, Chief Minister. The Vice President may also use the title Deputy Chief Minister.^[4]

One person in the Committee is nominated as Lead Person for External Affairs,^[1] the title Minister for External Affairs is sometimes used.
