EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Constitution of the Turks and Caicos Islands by making provision for the Governor to appoint a greater number of Ministers than the six normally permitted in addition to the Premier. This power, which is exercisable after consultation with the Premier and Leader of the Opposition, is subject to the total number of Ministers appointed in addition to the Premier not exceeding two-fifths of the combined number of appointed and elected members of the House of Assembly.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
