STATES OF JERSEY

PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT: DIVISION INTO 2 MINISTERIAL OFFICES (P.47/2009) – COMMENTS

Presented to the States on 27th April 2009 by the Minister for Treasury and Resources

STATES GREFFE

2009   Price code: A  P.47 Com.(2)

COMMENTS

The Minister for Treasury and Resources does not believe that the States can make a decision  on  this  matter  without  being  aware  of  full  financial  and  manpower implications. There will inevitably be costs – for instance there would be a need for an additional Chief Officer. There may also be a duplication of administrative structures.

If the States are minded to approve this proposition, it can only be in principle and subject  to  the  necessary  additional  resources  being  considered  by  the  Council  of Ministers when prioritising expenditure for the Annual Business Plan process. If the Council of Ministers did not prioritise the necessary resources it is, of course, open to any States Member to bring an amendment to the Annual Business Plan.

The  Minister  for  Treasury  and  Resources  advises  States  Members  to  reject  this proposition as it stands, on the basis that it does not contain all the information they require to make an informed decision.
