WQ.444/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER SOUTH QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 13th NOVEMBER 2023
Question
“Will the Minister confirm who she has appointed as the Register of Names and Addresses Commissioner, as required under Article 7 of the Register of Names and Addresses (Jersey) Law 2012, and if a Commissioner has not been appointed, why not; and advise what reports she has received under Article 7(6) of this legislation?”
Answer
There is currently no office holder in the role of Register of Names and Addresses Commissioner and accordingly, I have received no reports.
I understand that the position has been vacant since the Law was introduced.
The Register of Names and Addresses (Jersey) Law 2012 deals with the collection and sharing of information between departments. Departments must comply with their obligations under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2018 including in relation to the sharing of data, with recourse to the Office of the Information Commissioner.
I have asked for the implications of the role of Commissioner under the Register of Names and Addresses (Jersey) Law 2012 being vacant to be rapidly assessed as part of determining how to proceed.
