A TOBACCO STRATEGY FOR JERSEY (P.109/2003): COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 9th September 2003 by the Finance and Economics Committee
STATES GREFFE
COMMENTS
The Finance and Economics Committee supports the principle of increasing the duty on tobacco at above the rate of inflation and will consider this recommendation when considering future changes to impôts duties.
It is expected that the Health and Social Services Committee will present to the States a revised Substance Misuse Strategy in order to confirm funding for the Tobacco Strategy beyond 2004. Should that strategy not be approved by the States, the Health and Social Services Committee would need to fund the Tobacco Strategy from its existing cash limit or request growth funding from a bid to a subsequent Fundamental Spending Review.
