Parish Rate (Administration)
( Jersey) Law 1946. Statement.
The Connétable of St. John, on
behalf of the Supervisory Committee, made a statement in the following terms -
The House will remember that Deputy R .E.R. Rumboll of St. Helier lodged a
p roposition on 6th August 1991 asking t hat another Committee of Inquiry be
s et up to look into the method of
a ssessment in the Parish Rate
( Administration) (Jersey) Law 1946.
W hen the Deputy proposed a date to
d ebate his proposition P.124/91 I, on
b ehalf of the Connétable s of this
I sland, opposed this, as at that time
t he Connétable s had set up a sub-
c ommittee to look into any possible
s hortcomings in the Law. I am pleased t o report to this House that the sub-
c ommittee of the Connétable s of St.
J ohn, St. Mary and Grouville invited
D eputy Henry Coutanche, Mr. Bill
M ahoney and Mr. Robert Pallot to join t hem and look at the possible problems a ffecting rate assessment.
I said at that time that I would be in a position to make a statement by the e nd of the year. I now so do.
T he 1946 Rate Law in itself was a
g ood piece of legislation which suited t he public and the Parish
A dministration of the Island - rentals w ere static with a good supply of
r ental property available and it was
s o until our population began to
i ncrease in the 60's and 70's to such
a n extent that rentals started rising
f ast because of the demand and the
c onsequent shortage. The imbalance b etween rental and owner/occupied
p roperty came to a head when a
C ommittee of Inquiry was set up in
1 984 which report was placed before t he House by Senator R.R. Jeune , the C hairman, under P.47 of that year.
T he Committee of Inquiry made
2 1 recommendations to the Connétable s a nd these in the main have been
i mplemented except for five and 12.
R ecommendation 5 suggested
t hat consideration should be given to
a mending the Law to provide for
a ppeals against assessment to be heard b y a panel of independent persons on
t he lines of the arrangements which
a pply to income tax appeals. The
C onnétables feel that the present
s ystem of appeal is fair and
s ufficiently independent of the
A ssessors to ensure a reasoned and
c orrect judgement. First and foremost,
t he responsibility for assessing
c orrect and equitable rate rests with
t he Parish Assessment Committees
a lthough Connétable s can and indeed do c hallenge inequitable rating in their
o wn parish.
R ecommendation 12 asked that the
p roblem of making uniform assessments w ithin each parish and more
i mportantly from parish to parish
s hould be examined in depth.
W ith the continued escalation of rent d ue to the accepted shortage of
a ccommodation, assessed rental values h ave increased percentage wise way
a bove the required parochial need
c ausing concern and some discontent b ecause of the misunderstanding of the L aw. Notwithstanding this comment it s hould be noted that in the 1991
a ssessments; two parishes, St. Helier
a nd St. Brelade each had only one-
q uarter of one per cent of their
a ssessments challenged and even then m any of those challenges were
v exatious.
T he question of uniformity has been
u nder serious consideration for some
t ime and I am pleased to say
i mprovement has taken place. The
d ifficulty of producing uniformity
t hroughout the Island should be
a cknowledged by the fact that there
a re 12 parish boundaries, 15
A ssessment Committees with 67 elected A ssessors.
T he Connétable s and the Association
o f Parish Rate Assessors recommend t hat some changes be made because if r ental values continue to escalate the p osition of rate assessment can only w orsen, with continued aggravation to t he public, who although they can
e asily relate cost of living'
i ncreases in parish requirements, are u nable to accept assessments which h ave increased very considerably in t he last two to three years merely to k eep pace with States and private
s ector rentals.
A fter much study and discussion it is n ow felt that a standard assessment
s ystem or a fixed rateable value
s hould be introduced to replace the
p resent assessed rental value. Whilst
t his is accepted by the Connétable s
a nd until all existing areas of
i mbalance throughout the Island are
b rought into line this cannot be done
o vernight. The Connétable s and the
a ssessors are confident that a fair
a nd proper assessment can be achieved a lthough this will take a certain
t ime, but in any event not longer than t he introduction of corrective
l egislation.
I t is envisaged that the scheme would w ork as follows -
1 . First and foremost, all Assessment C o m mittees would have need to
c o n form.
2 . The assessed rental values when
s e e n to be fairly assessed
t h ro ughout the Island would be
f ro z en following the necessary
c h a nges in the Law and that figure w o uld then represent the fixed
r a te system or permanent base unit
o f quarters'. This figure would
r e m ain as such unless there were
m aj or alterations or additions to
t h e property. This would remain
t h e responsibility of each Parish
A ss essment Committee whose
w o rkload would be drastically
r e d uced enabling that Committee to l o o k at new property built or that
w h ich has been altered in their
r e sp ective parishes.
T h e same principle would be
a p p lied to commercial property t h u s eliminating any problems r e la ting to fluctuations in
r e n tals, in good times or r e ce ssion.
3 . With each house permanently
a s s essed the variation in
a s s essment would be to the pence p e r quarter' which would reflect
t h e amount of finance required to r u n each parish on an annual
b a s is.
4 . The Committee of Connétable s does n o t believe that a further
C o m mittee of Inquiry is necessary,
t h e Island has already had two
s im ilar Committees in the recent
p a s t.
5 . Changes to the Law will be
d i sc ussed with the Legislation
C o m mittee and the changes brought t o t his House for approval as soon
a s p ossible.''
Jersey Field Squadron Royal Engineers. Statement
The President of the Defence
Committee made a statement in the following terms -
In 1987 the States agreed to
e stablish and fund an independent TA u nit as its contribution to the
d efence of the British Isles.
T he unit's formation was marked in
O ctober 1988, by a parade, which was a ttended by the Minister for the Armed F orces. At the same time the title
The Jersey Field Squadron Royal
E ngineers (The Royal Militia of the
I sland of Jersey)'' was approved by
the Queen. This title aptly describes
t he unit and draws attention to
J ersey's unique and ancient
c ontribution to the defence of the
r ealm.
D uring the past three years the
S quadron has been recruiting, and has
t rained in Jersey, Germany and the
U nited Kingdom for a general combat
e ngineer role in NATO. Throughout this t ime it has been temporarily based at
t he old Northern Telephone Exchange. T he almost complete lack of training
a nd storage facilities there has
s everely restricted the Squadron's
p reparations to become operational or r ecruited to full strength.
J anuary 1992, however, will see
t he completion of the new purpose
b uilt Centre at Mount Bingham. This w ill allow the Squadron to complete t heir recruiting and, together with
t he arrival of their vehicles and
e quipment, will enable them to train f or their new operational role.
Y ou will have heard of the changes to
t he Reserve Forces announced at
W estminster last week, by the
S ecretary of State for Defence, the
R t. Hon. Tom King. The Options Review w as necessary to balance the
c ontribution of the TA to the Army
O rder of Battle in the light of the
R egular restructuring and alterations
i n National Defence Policy. This
r estructuring has led to a planned 32
p er cent reduction in Regular Army
m anning levels. Whilst you might also
b e aware of reductions in manning
l evels in the TA, particularly the
i nfantry, certain specialised
e lements, such as the Royal Engineers, w ill in fact increase in size. This is
t o compensate for reductions in
c apability caused by the changes to
t he Regular Army. As a result some new s pecialised Royal Engineer units will
b e established, and existing units
w ill be required to take on new
s pecialist roles.
F or the Jersey Field Squadron this
m eans a new and exciting continental r ole with the Rapid Reaction Corps in s upport of the Royal Air Force, in
p articular, support to the RAF Harrier F orce, both on and off base.
T o carry out the new role it will
b e necessary for the squadron to be
a ugmented by an additional troop of 40 m en, which is to be recruited and
b ased on the mainland. The troop will
b e United Kingdom funded and will come u nder command of the Jersey Squadron
f or operations and training.
I am delighted to inform the House
t hat the Jersey Field Squadron has
b een allocated this specific and
c hallenging role. The training that
t he members of the squadron receive w ill be of benefit both to the
i ndividual, and to the Island, and the m ove to the new Centre will open the n ext chapter in the Squadron's
f ormation.
I would wish to remind the House
t hat whilst the Island tax payer as a
w hole, is fulfilling his contribution
t o the United Kingdom, the
c ontribution from the TA soldiers goes f ar beyond that. Our soldiers will now h ave a real commitment to rapidly
r espond to any conflict, the potential
n ature of which we have only to look b ack one year to be vividly reminded.
I ask the House to fully recognise
t his commitment, and to offer its
u nanimous support to the men and women w ho volunteer their services in the
n ame of the Island and in the name of
T he Crown.
T here will be a full presentation
o n Thursday 19th December at Fort
R egent by the new Commander and staff
o f the Royal Engineers Voluntary
S pecialist Unit which I invite any
m ember here to attend.''
Haut de la Garenne, St. Martin : statement
The President of the Island
Development Committee made a statement in the following terms -
Members will be aware from reports
i n the various media that the Island
D evelopment Committee has withdrawn i ts support for the principle of
d evelopment on the open field to the
e ast of the existing buildings at
H aut de la Garenne. This is a change
o f mind, and my Committee owes the
H ouse, and in particular the President
a nd Members of the Housing Committee
a n explanation.
T he future of Haut de la Garenne has b een uncertain since 1983 when the
E ducation Committee first signalled
i ts intention of vacating the
b uildings as a children's home. The
I sland Development Committee of the d ay produced a planning brief for the r edevelopment of the site in 1983 and r evised it in 1986, but a common
f eature of both briefs was that any
r edevelopment should be confined to t he footprint'' of the existing
b uilding.
H owever, in 1988 and 1989 there was
c onsiderable pressure from the
T ourism, Public Works and Policy and
R esources Committees to sell the site
t o allow a prestige hotel development
t o be undertaken. We were advised that
t he critical floorspace threshold for
a viable hotel was 100,000 square
f eet, and if the site were to be
m arketted to hotel developers it would
h elp if the Island Development
C ommittee could pre-determine the
p lanning parameters. To this end, my
C ommittee in April 1989 approved a
p lanning development brief showing how t his amount of floorspace could be
a chieved on the site while limiting
t he impact of the development on the
l andscape. It indicated that a hotel,
e lderly persons or States loan and
r ental housing, educational or health
i nstitutional uses would be acceptable
t o the Island Development Committee,
a lthough in approving the Brief, my
C ommittee indicated its preference for
e lderly persons or special needs
h ousing.
T he Housing Committee commissioned an a rchitect at the beginning of this
y ear to produce a feasibility study
s howing how a respite care home, a
n ursing home, staff and Category A
h ousing accommodation could be
a chieved on the site. As recently as
M ay and June of this year, the Policy
a nd Resources and Tourism Committees w ere promoting hotel development on
t he site and quite recently there was
a move to keep it as open space.
I n October this year the Housing
C ommittee's President and architects m ade a presentation of their proposals t o my Committee, and despite certain r eservations about the scale of the
C ategory A housing, indicated its
g eneral support for the principles.
L ast Thursday, in the course of its
r egular three-weekly site visits, my
C ommittee visited the site to satisfy
i tself that the proposed development
w as acceptable. The Committee walked
t he site, and viewed it from various
v antage points. It became quite clear
t o the Committee that its decision to
i nclude the open field in the
d evelopment area of the brief in 1989
w as wrong, and its subsequent decision
t o support the Housing Committee's
p roposal in the context of that brief
w as equally a mistake. My Committee
a sked itself if the proposal had been
m ade by someone other than the Housing C ommittee, would it have supported it,
a nd the answer to the question, quite
c learly, was an emphatic NO.
T he Island Development Committee s upports the proposal for the respite c are home and the nursing home, but, w ith the benefit of hindsight, it is
u nable to support the construction of b uildings on the open field to the
e ast.
M y Committee apologises unreservedly t o the Housing Committee for having
l ed it to believe that it would
s upport its proposal. It was wrong to
d o so. We have clearly inconvenienced t he Housing Committee, and it will be
i ncumbent on my Committee to find
a lternative sites to replace the
p otential housing yield from Haut de
l a Garenne. We are sure we can do this
o n a site or sites that are less
i ntrusive than this one.''
