STATES OF JERSEY
MINISTERIAL TRAVEL: FEBRUARY – DECEMBER 2024
Presented to the States on 12th March 2025 by the Council of Ministers
STATES GREFFE
2025 R.33
REPORT
The Code of Conduct and Practice for Ministers and Assistant Ministers includes: "a duty to use scarce public resources with care and due attention, and to be satisfied that the costs they incur on travel and expenses can reasonably be justified in public as being efficient and cost effective and are required for and related to their ministerial office."
Ministers and Assistant Ministers will continue to seek to uphold these requirements, travelling when necessary and appropriate for their role in the best interests of Jersey, and exercising caution over the costs they incur.
As part of demonstrating this commitment, the below table shows the costs of booked travel in 2024 incurred by individual Ministers and Assistant Ministers in conducting their ministerial duties.
To support open government, in 2025 ministerial travel cost information will be published each quarter on the government website, increasing the frequency of reporting, as well as annually to the Assembly as an "R".
Ministers will continue to engage with the Privileges and Procedures Machinery of Government Sub-Committee on ongoing improvements in reporting.
