STATES OF JERSEY
TELEVISION LICENCES FOR PERSONS OVER 75 (P.100/2009): COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 30th June 2009 by the Minister for Treasury and Resources
STATES GREFFE
2009 Price code: A P100 Com.
COMMENTS
The Social Security Department has a total budget of £248,200 (including benefit and administration) for TV licences in 2009. The additional cost of this proposal (taking account of administration) would therefore be in the region of up to £516,150. The Department would be unable to absorb this additional cost within its current and planned cash limit. The proposition requests the Chief Minister, in consultation with the Minister for Treasury and Resources, to make adequate provision in the Draft Annual Business Plan 2010, and to then make appropriate provision in future Annual Business Plans, to meet the cost of the scheme. The Council of Ministers has already agreed its proposed cash limits for 2010, which will be included within the 2010 Annual Business Plan. It is, of course, open to Deputy Tadier or any other States Member to propose an amendment to the Business Plan in respect of TV Licences, should they so wish.
