WQ.30/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO
THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st JANUARY 2022
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th FEBRUARY 2022
Question
"Will the Minister advise whether there are any legislative changes planned that would allow either the Government or a Government body to make changes to agreed leases between a landowner and a telecommunications company without the landowner's consent; and will the Minister commit to opposing the introduction of any such measures, as have been enacted in the United Kingdom?"
Answer
The question appears to relate to whether Jersey has - or is going to - adopt a code similar to the UK's Electronic Communications Code that regulates the legal relationships between landowners and certain network operators in the UK. The UK's Electronic Communications Code came in to force in the UK in December 2017 replacing the previous code and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport conducted a consultation last year considering amendments to new code.
There are no current plans to put in place a similar code at this time.
