BENEFITS PAID BY THE HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT AND SOCIAL SECURITY COMMITTEES: PROTECTION (P.75/2003) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 8th July 2003
by the Employment and Social Security Committee
STATES GREFFE
COMMENTS
The Committee appreciates the sentiments behind Deputy Southern 's proposition but, unfortunately, cannot lend their support for two reasons: it would prevent any changes that may be required, for example, in the interests of equity; and also make it difficult to take a step-by-step approach towards a new low income support scheme, which may prove necessary given the complexity of such a scheme. The Committee is satisfied that there are already sufficient checks in the current system as changes affecting entitlement generally require States approval under relevant legislation.
