Waterfront planning project. Question and answer

Deputy Cynthia Miriam Rumboll of St. Helier asked the Connétable of St. John, President of the Island Development Committee, the following question -

  In a statement to the House on 7th

 F ebruary, 1988, the President of the

 I sland Development Committee referred  t o the estimated time allowed for each

of the three distinct phases of the W aterfront planning project as

f ollows -

( a) preparation of brief - three m o nths

 ( b) selection of consultant - three m  o nths

( c) preparation of plan - six months.

O n Tuesday, 23rd January, 1989 the

S tates adopted Proposition 151 which n oted the planning brief for the St.

H elier waterfront area. As three

m onths have now elapsed, and stage (b) s hould be nearing completion, would

t he President inform the House of the

p rogress of the selection procedure,

a nd when he expects to announce the

n ame of the chosen consultants?''

The President of the Island Development Committee replied as follows -

  Before advising the House of the

 p rogress which the Island Development  C ommittee has made in selecting a

 c onsultant for the St. Helier

 w aterfront area, I would like to

 c orrect what appears to be a typing

 e rror in Deputy Rumboll's question.

 T he statement I made to the House was

o n 7th February, 1989 and not 7th

 F ebruary, 1988 and the States adopted  P rojet 151 on 23rd January, 1990, not

 2 3rd January, 1989.

B efore the debate took place officers

o f the Committee undertook preparatory w ork for the insertion of

a dvertisements in the international

a rchitectural press. On 6th December,

1 989, a letter was sent to the

A rchitectural Association headquarters

o f 15 countries covering western

E urope, Scandinavia, the British

I sles, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.

O nce the States had approved Projet

1 51 it was intended to place

a dvertisements in the architectural

p ress of these countries. Only five

a ssociations replied to the letter. By

e arly January it was clear that this

a pproach was not going to bring about

t he desired result; that is, of

a dvertising the consultancy

o pportunity as widely and as soon as p ossible.

I t was decided to overcome these

d ifficulties by the appointment of an

a dvertising consultant who would have a ccess to various publishing agencies. O n 19th January, 1990, a meeting took p lace between one of my officers and a r epresentative of Walker s Advertising A ssociates Limited to determine if

t hey were able to act on the

C ommittee's behalf. It was explained b y them that, before any advertisement c ould be placed, the publishing

a gencies would have to be contacted. A lso a copy date for such

a rchitectural magazines could in some c ases be between six to eight weeks

p rior to publication.

O n 24th January, 1990, the day after

t he States adopted Projet 151 Walker s A dvertising Associates were appointed. T hey acted as quickly as possible and

s ubmitted a list of architectural

p ublications on 2nd March, 1990,

t ogether with a list of their copy

t imes prior to publication.

I nstructions to place advertisements

i n the seven most appropriate journals w ere issued on 8th March, 1990. The

f irst advertisement will appear in

A pril and the remainder during May.

T he start of this phase of the

p rogramme has been delayed by three m onths as a direct result of the

i nitial problems associated with the

f irst attempts to contact the various

j ournals.

T he new programme is as follows - M a y 1990

A  d vertise for expressions of i n te rest and contact those

p ractices who have already d e c lared an interest.

J u n e/early July 1990

S e l ect long list of about 12

p r a ctices who will be asked to p r o vide examples of their work.

J u ly /August 1990

S e l ect short list of about three

p r a ctices who will be asked to

d e m onstrate their approach to the s tu d y.

A  u gust 1990

I n te rview short listed practices,

s e le ct consultant and make formal a n n ouncement.

I t is hoped that all those involved

w ill be able to conform to this

t imetable in order that formal

c ommencement of the study can take p lace in September 1990.

I cannot conclude my reply to the

D eputy's question without commenting

o n the article which appeared in the

J ersey Evening Post on Thursday, 19th A pril, 1990. The article stated that

t hree months after the debate no

p rogress had been made. In addition it w as suggested that the fact that

a dvertisements were now to be placed

i n May was as a direct result of the

q uestion. Little could be further from

t he truth! The advertising programme

h ad been well established long before

t he question was asked. This has been

c learly shown by the events which I

h ave outlined. This information would h ave been freely made available to

D eputy Rumboll by either myself or one

o f my officers, if she had only asked

m e.''

S upplementary questions and answers

D eputy C. Rumboll - I accept that

t he President of the Island

D evelopment Committee had started work

o n this project by January 1990.

H owever, I question and I ask the

P resident how it comes that it can

t ake his officers three months, or two

m onths at any rate, to find a

s election of journals into which this

a dvertisement ought to go when I was

a ble to find out the same information

w ithin seven minutes and two telephone c alls and I ask the President the

q uestion as to whether he feels that

t he impetus in his department is what

i t should be and whether his

d epartment is taking the wishes of the S tates as seriously as they ought to

b e?''

P resident, Island Development Commi t tee - I answer Deputy Rumboll's

q uestion in the form that we are not

s o lucky in my department as to have

m embers of the quality of Deputy

R umboll who know all the ways to

a chieve things. Our officers have

w orked extremely hard and if Deputy

R umboll would like to come to the

P lanning Office, I had hoped to have

i t here, I could show her a file which

i s that thick of work that has been

u ndertaken with relation to this and I

a m satisfied that my officers have

d one an acceptable job. The fact that

D eputy Rumboll was able to do this

m uch quicker shows the quality that

s he has.''

D eputy C. Rumboll - Could the

P resident let the House know whether

t he short list and the selection from

t he short list is an Island

D evelopment Committee decision or

w hether they are taking in any advice

f rom people like Mr. William Whitfield w ho were on the original Waterfront

A dvisory Group?''

P resident, Island Development Commi t tee - Mr. William Whitfield is our

c onsultant and he will be advising my

C ommittee at all times?''

S enator B. Brooke - I wonder whether h is officers got on to the

A rchitectural Association

h eadquarters in London, the secretary

o f which is the Jerseyman, Mr. Edouard L e Maistre, and whether he was able to a ssist in any way, that would interest

m e?''

P resident,  Island

D evelopment Committee - I would h ave to have notice to give an

a ccurate answer.''

Sodomy legislation. Statement

The President of the Legislation

Committee made a statement in the following terms -

  A delegation, comprising the

 B ailiff, myself, Senator Jeune , the

 A ttorney General and the Greffier, met

 a t our request the Rt. Hon. John

 P atten, Minister of State at the Home

 O ffice on Thursday 19th April, to

 d iscuss the implications for Jersey of

 t he judgment of the European Court of

 H uman Rights that a law which makes

 h omosexual practices in private

 b etween two consenting adults illegal,

 w as in breach of the European

 C onvention on Human Rights.  Very full  a nd frank discussions took place from

 w hich it has become clear that the

 C onvention contains no provisions

 w hich permit of any departure from

 t hat judgment.

T he Minister explained that that

j udgment was binding on Her Majesty's G overnment in the United Kingdom as a s ignatory to the Convention and that

H er Majesty's Government had already t aken steps to bring the law in

N orthern Ireland into line with that

i n the rest of the United Kingdom

w hich was in conformity with the

j udgment.

T he Minister reminded the delegation

t hat the Convention had been extended

t o Jersey at the request of the

i nsular authorities and it was the

r esponsibility of Her Majesty's

G overnment to fulfill its

i nternational obligations by ensuring

t hat Jersey law was not in breach of

t he Convention. He said that the

c ustomary law in Jersey regarding

s odomy was in breach of the Convention a nd that it was therefore imperative

t hat the law was changed and he hoped

t hat the Island would legislate

a ccordingly. He made it clear that, if

t he Island did not, then in order to

f ulfill its international obligations,

t he United Kingdom reluctantly would h ave no option but to legislate itself

i n this matter.

T he Minister assured the delegation

t hat Her Majesty's Government were w holly sympathetic to the Island's

c onstitutional position which was not i n question. He explained that the

I sland was in an identical position to t he United Kingdom in that Her

M ajesty's Government had on several

o ccasions amended United Kingdom l egislation to comply with European C ourt rulings.

T he Legislation Committee has given

v ery careful consideration to the

v iews expressed by the Minister of

S tate. The position is now very clear.

T he customary law of the Island

r elating to sodomy is in breach of the

C onvention. The Committee has been

a ssured that there is no way short of

l egislation which can remedy that

b reach. Therefore, in order to ensure

t hat effect is given to an

i nternational obligation contracted on

b ehalf of the Island, the Island's law

h as to be changed. The Royal

C ommission on the Relationships

b etween the United Kingdom and the

C hannel Islands, which reported in

1 973, stated that so long as the

U nited Kingdom remains responsible for t he international relations of the

I sland it must have powers in the last

r esort to secure compliance in the

I sland with international agreements'.

T hat statement was accepted by the

S tates and is incontrovertible.

T he Committee believes very firmly

t hat it is vitally important that the

I sland should be recognised in the

i nternational community as a territory w hich is prepared and responsible

e nough to meet its international

o bligations even if this does arouse

s ome public indignation at the time. T he Committee will, therefore, be

i ntroducing within the next few weeks a Bill designed to decriminalise the

a ct of sodomy in private between

c onsenting male adults.

M ay I conclude by emphasising that

t here is no constitutional crisis and

n ever has been over this matter. The

C ommittee required to be satisfied, as

t he States would expect, that the

I sland's law was in breach of an

i nternational obligation. It is now so

s atisfied. That breach must therefore

b e remedied. It can only be remedied

b y legislation which can be enacted
