Charlie Parker told 'quit second role or quit government'

There are calls for Jersey's most senior civil servant to quit his second role as a non-executive director or quit government.

Deputy Kirsten Morel says Charlie Parker's other job presents a "conflict of interest", and he should be forced to choose between the two. It comes as Chief Minister, Senator John Le Fondré, faced a second day of questions about Charlie Parker's £50,000 position with a UK property firm. Tonight, crisis talks have been taking place to decide what happens next.

Earlier today (29 October), Senator Le Fondré announced that "no funds will be received by Mr Parker" from the company. Instead, the money will go to charities, including some in Jersey.
