Breath testing. Questions and answers

Deputy David John de la Haye of St. Helier asked Senator Richard Joseph Shenton, President of the Defence Committee, the following questions -

Q uestion 1

During the debate on 12th December

1 989, I withdrew my amendments to the n ew Article 16B contained in

R egulation 3 of the draft Road Traffic

( No. 34) (Jersey) Regulations 198 , as

t he result of certain assurances given

b y the President of the Defence

C ommittee.

C an the Committee confirm that the i nstructions given to the States of

J ersey Police are still to the effect

t hat motorists are not to be subjected t o random breath testing as stated by t he President during that debate?''

The President of the Defence Committee replied as follows -

Yes.''

S upplementary questions and answers

D eputy M.C. Buesnel of St. Helier -

Could the President say whether the

n umber of people being stopped by the P olice since the introduction of the

b reathalyser is greater than in a

s imilar period before the introduction

o f the breathalyser?

P resident, Defence Committee - If

t he Deputy read the report which has r ecently been sent to all Members

r egarding the breathalyser, he will

s ee that no records were kept prior to t hat so there is no comparison to be

m ade. What I would say to the Deputy i s if one listens to the media and if

o ne listens to the Saturday morning

r adio broadcast in particular, one

w ill notice that the old statistics

w hich took place prior to the

b reathalyser of so many motorists

b eing arrested and charged and put in

t he cells on a Friday night, etc., has

c ertainly dried up. The effect of the

b reathalyser is to deter people from

d rinking and driving, of that I have

t ried very hard to influence the House

t hat we should set an example and show t hat we support the Police in this

a ction and not at every attempt listen

t o idle gossip and try to put a false

p icture before those people who will

r eadily use it to advantage. There is

n o doubt in my mind that the

b reathalyser has changed drinking and d riving habits in this Island. If any

M ember does not feel that to be the

c ase then he can do as I would do and

p ut forward a proposition for the

b reathalyser law to be rescinded.''

D eputy Buesnel - Would the President t ell me whether each stoppage is

r ecorded in the appropriate notebook

t hat the constable carries with him?''

P resident, Defence Committee - As

P resident of Defence I, unlike my

p redecessors, have tried to keep

a bsolutely away from policing in this

I sland. I am aware of the small nature

o f our community and the insular

n ature and I can say that as a

J erseyman. Therefore, I try not to

i nterfere in any way unless there is a

c omplaint against the Police, that

m atter is investigated by a Member of

t his House, Senator Mrs. Betty Brooke, a nd she has not cut down in her own

w ay that the investigation procedure

a nd the complaints that we receive are m inimal compared to what they were

p reviously. Now if a matter is brought

t o my attention, which does by its

i mplication imply that the Police have

a cted wrongly, then rest assured those m atters are taken up and dealt with in

t he same way as I am trying to deal

w ith these questions today. They are

d ealt with in a forthright, honest and

a manner which would bring credit to

t his House, it brings no credit to

s pread these exaggerated reports to

t he public at large and cause them to,

s hall we say, have less confidence in

t he Police in this Island. We have a

v ery good Police Force both the

p rofessional and honorary system are

b ehaving in a way which is a credit to

t his Island and I hope that any of

t hem listening will learn that we have

b een complimented by the Home Office,

H er Majesty's Inspector of the Home

O ffice on the quality and training of

o ur Police force. If they want further

i nformation I will be happy to keep

t his House, I can go on at length

t elling you how much policing has

i mproved and how much better it is in

t his Island at the present time and I

a m saddened to read in the press,

l etters at times and hear comments

f rom Members of the House who frankly s hould know a lot better.''

Deputy D.J. de la Haye Q uestion 2

Is the Committee satisfied that the a ction of the Police in stopping

m otorists in 30 m.p.h. speed limit

a reas is not being used as a pretext f or carrying out random breath

t ests?''

President, Defence Committee Yes.''

Postal Headquarters. Statement

The President of the Island

Development Committee made a statement in the following terms -

Proposition P.119/90, lodged by the

C ommittee for Postal Administration,

a sks the States to instruct the

I sland Development Committee and the P ublic Services Committee to find a

s ite acceptable to the Committee for

P ostal Administration, on which the

n ew Postal Headquarters can be built

s o as to be fully operational by mid-

1 993'.

A s Members will know, the requirement t o provide new facilities for postal

s orting and administration has been

r ecognised since June 1985 when the

B ritish Postal Consultancy Service

c arried out a substantial review of

t he Island's postal services and

i dentified future mail trends and the

f acilities needed to accommodate the

s ervice in the future. It was

r ecognised at that time that the

s ituation would become critical in the

e arly to mid-1990s when the existing

a ccommodation became incapable of

h andling the volumes of mail. The

p rojections made have been vindicated b y experience over the past five

y ears, and clearly one of the purposes

o f this proposition is to impress on

t he States, as well as on the two

C ommittees, the high priority that

n eeds to be given to rehousing the

p ostal service.

T he States have, of course, on more

t han one occasion, agreed the siting

o f Postal Headquarters. That siting,

o n an area of land at the Albert Pier

r eclamation site adjoining the

E splanade, remains the favoured site,

n ot only of the Island Development and P ublic Services Committees, but also

o f the Committee for Postal

A dministration. That Committee's

c oncern is that delays in the funding,

d esign and construction of the

a pproved underground car park, on top

o f which the Postal Headquarters would b e sited, are, in consequence,

d elaying the programming of the Postal H eadquarters.

T his problem has been discussed at s ome length in recent months by the t hree Committees. In practice there a re only two options that afford the p ossibility of Postal having new

p remises available in the reasonably n ear future, however neither will

p roduce a building that would be

a vailable by mid-1993 -

( a) to redevelop the Mont Millais s it e;

( b) to develop on the agreed site at

t he E splanade, but providing

under ground parking for Postal's

ow n pur poses only. This, we

bel i eve, can be done without

com promising the States' decisions of 1 988 to construct an

under ground car park immediately t o t he west. In effect it

s epa rates the two schemes and

al l ow s them to proceed

i nd ependently of each other.

T he Public Services and Island

D evelopment Committees favour the s econd option. It is unlikely that the

n ew premises can be made available at t he Esplanade until 1994 at the

e arliest and more likely 1995, but

e qually it is unlikely that

r edevelopment of the Mont Millais site c an be achieved by then either, and

t his option would involve the

t emporary relocation of some postal

s ervices during redevelopment. In any c ase, the Mont Millais redevelopment w ill not, in our view, produce the

f acility that Postal really need - it

w ill not concentrate Postal's

o perations on one site with the clear

a dministrative advantage this affords; i t will not help with the increasing

u sage of box numbers; and will not

h ave the accessibility advantage of

t he Esplanade site.

T here have been suggestions that the M ont Millais site in unsuitable for

h ousing purposes. Both Committees

r efute this. There is no doubt that

t he site will be difficult to

d evelop - quarry sites often are - but

t he Island Development Committee has n ever suggested that the development

o f the site for housing would be easy.

A ccordingly, both the Island

D evelopment and Public Services

C ommittees have effectively carried

o ut the instruction that the Committee f or Postal Administration seeks to

p romote. Both Committees have

c oncluded that the best site remains

t hat agreed by the States in 1988.''

Le Brun's Bakery bread prices. Statement

Senator Richard Joseph Shenton made a statement in the following terms -

Members will recall that on 25th

S eptember, 1990 I asked the President

o f the Policy and Resources Committee

a question on bread prices. In

r esponse to a supplementary question

t he President indicated that he had no

o bjection to my going with the

E conomic Adviser to Le Brun's to

inspect the company's books in

r esponse to an offer made by the

C hairman of the company, Lord

M atthews.

M r. Powell and I have now met with

L ord Matthews and his son, Ian

M atthews, the Managing Director of the c ompany, and I should like to report

t o the House on the outcome of our d iscussions.

F rom correspondence shown to us it is

u nderstood why the company should have r eferred so directly to the Gulf

c risis as the reason for the increase

i n bread prices. The company has been

f aced with significant increased

c harges imposed by a number of local

c ompanies, and in every case those

c ompanies have given the Gulf crisis

a s the reason for the increase.

T he Company also faces continuing d ifficulties arising both from the

t ight labour market conditions that

p revail in the Island, and from the

l imited market opportunities available t o them in relation to the scale of

t he plant being operated. However, I w as comforted by the assurance given b y Lord Matthews that the possible

c losure of the plant is not in

p rospect, contrary to what may have b een read into some of the recent

p ress comments.

I am satisfied that the increase in

p rices announced by the company last m onth was justified. Furthermore,

c osts are continuing to rise and

t herefore there is every possibility

t hat further price increases will need

t o be made. When such increases take p lace it is obviously in the hands of

t he management of the company.

T he opportunity of the visit to the

c ompany's offices was taken to discuss a number of matters relating to the

p ricing and range of their products,

a nd I was impressed with the openness w ith which our questions were

r esponded to. I found the new

m anagement of the company also very m uch alive to the need to improve on

t he quality of their products if the

f ull potential of the Island market is

t o be exploited, and they are to be

e ncouraged in this endeavour.

F inally I would like to say that the

p ride expressed by Lord Matthews and h is son, the Managing Director, in the a cquisition of a local company shows a p ersonal interest in the reputation of

t he company which augers well for

I sland consumers.''

Customs officers: searches. Statement

The President of the Finance and

Economics Committee made a statement in the following terms -

In the course of the debate on the

d raft Customs and Excise (General

P rovisions) (Amendment No. 2) (Jersey) L aw 199 , on Tuesday, 25th September 1 990, Senator T.J. Le Main referred to

t he intimate' searching of passengers

b y Customs officers, and particularly

t o a complaint which he had received

o n the subject.

T he Agent of the Impôts has carried

o ut a thorough investigation into the i ncident referred to by Senator Le M ain and has personally interviewed a ll those involved.

T he passenger connected with the

i ncident has stated categorically that

h e has no complaint to make against

a ny Customs officer and, in fact, was

t reated with tact and courtesy

t hroughout a search for controlled

d rugs. There was never any suggestion f rom him that he was subjected to an

intimate' search.

I n fact intimate' searches such as

s uggested by the Senator, involving i nternal penetration to any degree, a re never carried out by Customs

o fficers. Indeed, if they were it

w ould constitute an indecent assault

o n the person and officers would be l iable to prosecution.

W here a Customs officer has reasonable g rounds to suspect that a person may

h ave concealed drugs internally, a

m edical practitioner is informed of

t he facts and if the suspect consents,

i n writing, to an internal examination

t hen, and only then, will a doctor

p roceed with the examination.''

St. Helier Waterfront Plan.

Statement

The President of the Island

Development Committee made a statement in the following terms -

It gives me great pleasure to inform t he House that, after considerable

d eliberation, the Island Development C ommittee has decided to appoint

A ndrews Downie and Partners as

c onsultants for the preparation of the W aterfront Plan.

T he selection panel were most

i mpressed by the initial ideas which w ere presented to it. The firm

d emonstrated that they, together with t he rest of their team, had a full

u nderstanding of the contents of the W aterfront brief and had an

a ppreciation of the architecture and

c haracter of St. Helier . The firm,

w hile large enough to provide all the u rban design skills required, are also c apable of working closely with the v arious departments of the States that w ill be involved in the project.
