GOVERNMENT PLAN 2020–2023 (P.71/2019): EIGHTH AMENDMENT (P.71/2019 Amd.(8)) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 25th November 2019 by the Council of Ministers
STATES GREFFE
2019 P.71 Amd.(8)Com.
COMMENTS
Deputy M.R. Higgins of St. Helier proposes the following in P.71/2019 Amd.(8) –
PAGE 3, NEW PARAGRAPH (i) –
After paragraph (h), insert the following new paragraph (i) and re-letter the remaining paragraph accordingly –
"(i) to agree that the Justice and Home Affairs Department should
increase the annual funding for the Island's 4 cadet force organisations to £20,000 each for the years 2020 to 2023; and".
The Council of Ministers accepts this amendment.
The Council of Ministers has considered Deputy Higgins' amendment and agrees with the principle of increasing funding to the 4 cadet forces. While the cadet forces are in reasonably good financial health, the Minister for Home Affairs believes that it would be sensible to increase funding in 2020. The Minister would at the same time ask his officers to review the finances of the cadet forces during the first half of 2020 to inform the level of funding for the rest of the Government Plan (2021–2023).
Financial and manpower implications
The additional money set out in this amendment – £40,000 – would be found from within existing resources.
