BBC- Members of Guernsey's Policy and Resources Committee (P&R) are to face a vote of no confidence

- A motion of no confidence was submitted by Deputy Charles Parkinson
- P&R members had said they intended to continue in their posts
Guernsey's Policy and Resources Committee (P&R) is to face a vote of no confidence.
P&R members were asked to resign by Deputy Charles Parkinson and six other deputies last week after the committee's plans for tax reform were rejected.
Mr Parkinson has submitted a motion of no confidence after committee members refused to resign.
The five members of P&R have previously said they intend to continue in their posts.
The committee's plans to introduce a goods and services tax and tax reform were thrown out by deputies in October.
Deputy Peter Ferbrache, President of P&R, had suggested the best way forward was to call an early general election.
The motion of no confidence would need a majority of votes from deputies to be approved.
It is unclear when a vote will take place, but the earliest possible date is 7 November.
