REPORT
Whilst I agree that the compromise proposed by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier is the way forward, I feel that the proposed time suggested is not long enough and is inflexible. If the States Assembly decides that they wish to purchase Plémont for the posterity of our people forever, then would a longer timescale be more appropriate and achievable?
The original proposition sadly is not quite good enough and does need improvement: had wider discussion with States Members occurred, perhaps we would have something that more Members could sign up to and that would receive greater public support.
I apologise for the lateness of lodging this amendment, but as we have been in the States with the significant Budget, I have only now had the time to work on it.
Financial and manpower implications There are minor manpower implications.
The financial implications are such that if the States are able to negotiate a repayment programme with the National Trust, they may find themselves in a better financial situation; though there will be little additional cost to what is stated in Deputy Southern 's amendment.
