STATES MEMBERS' REMUNERATION: ABOLITION OF MEANS TESTING (P.145/2003) COMMENTS

Presented to the States on 25th November 2003 by the Finance and Economics Committee

STATES GREFFE

COMMENTS

The cost of the proposition is estimated at between £500,000 and £730,000 depending on the number of Members who seek remuneration.

This is a significant sum for which a budget has not been provided in the 2004 Cash Limits.

If the States were to approve the revised remuneration agreements with effect from 1st January 2004, there would be insufficient funds currently budgeted for this purpose, and the Finance and Economics Committee would have to fund the excess cost from the Pay and Pensions contingency.

A bid for a sufficient level of funding will be submitted to the Fundamental Spending Review process for 2005 and subsequent years.
