WQ.226/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS
BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 10rd JUNE 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 17th JUNE 2024
Question
“Will the Minister advise what impact, if any, the announcement that the UK will increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030 will have on costs to Jersey, and whether this decision will affect Jersey’s commitment to the Jersey Field Squadron?”
Answer
There is no reason to expect that the decision of the Government of the United Kingdom referenced in the Connétable ’s question will affect costs incurred by Jersey.
The Government remains committed to supporting the Jersey Field Squadron as Jersey’s contribution to the defence of the United Kingdom in line with the Intergovernmental Agreement signed in 1981 by the States of Jersey and the UK Home Office.
