Official Report publication
The authoritative record of proceedings is known as the Official Report of the States of Deliberation (Hansard). It was first introduced in 2012. The States does not have its own Official Report staff. This task is outsourced. Draft reports are then edited by the Clerk Assistant with the Parliamentary Administration Officer prior to publication. The report is usually published within a month of the meeting concluding.
