States members are set to appoint a new council of ministers.

Chief Minister designate Lyndon Farnham has nominated his ministerial team for the next four years, with the names to be put forward for approval later.

If approved by the States Assembly, Senator Tom Binet will continue in health and Senator Ian Gorst will remain as the external relations minister.

The meeting will take place in the States Chamber at 09:30 BST.

Farnham will propose his choice of ministerial candidates, with States members nominating their own preferred candidates if they wish.

If at any point the assembly appoints a candidate who was not nominated by the chief minister designate, he may choose to amend his preferred candidates.

The heads of the Scrutiny and the Privileges and Procedures Committee will also be appointed during the meeting.
