P.81/2011 Amd.
REPORT
Shortly after lodging P.81/2011, both the Minister for Treasury and Resources and I were invited to speak on BBC Radio Jersey on 24th May 2011. During our short debate, the Minister told listeners that it was impossible for the Department of Health and Social Services to undertake and complete the task of collating a list of foods for GST exemptions within 3 months. He continued and went on to suggest that there was a possibility it could be completed within a larger time-span.
It is not often that I agree with the Minister for Treasury and Resources, but this time I have to admit that he is right, and in the light of his wise words, I make this amendment.
Financial and manpower implications
This amendment would defer the loss of revenue set out in the financial and manpower implications of my proposition P.81/2011 for one year.
