REPORT
Article 89 of the Jersey Gas Company (Jersey) Law 1989 simply provides that, where it appears to the States to be necessary to do so in the public interest, the States may by Regulations determine the tariffs made by the Jersey Gas Company.
I bring this amendment as, since lodging P.15/2015, there have been some discussions regarding which Minister carries the responsibility for bringing forward the draft Regulations should this proposition be adopted by the Assembly.
This amendment seeks to ensure that such discussions do not detract from the key principle of the proposition itself, namely that it is indeed in the public interest for relevant Regulations to be brought forward to ensure gas tariffs are reduced.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this amendment.
