Will the President say what the

y ear when building was completed and, i f they have since been modernised or
r efurbished, the total cost of such
w ork for each estate -

The President of the Housing Committee replied as follows -
In answering this question I shall

p rices the estimated building cost
w ould be about #1,350,000.
A lthough only limited records exist of w ork carried out on this estate before t he last ten years, it is known that
a ll houses were modernised between 1 973 and 1975 at a total cost of about
# 54,000. At today's prices this
r epresents a cost of about #250,000.
M ajor works carried out in the last t en years consist of the following -

European Community - members right of entry to Jersey in 1992. Questions and answers (Tape No. 110)
Deputy Maurice Clement Buesnel of
St. Helier asked Deputy Michael Adam Wavell of St. Saviour , President of the Defence Committee the following questions -
1. I n 1992 nationals of
C o n ti n ental countries which
ar e m e mbers of the European
C o m m unity will acquire right
o f e n tr y into Jersey for the
p u rp o s es of seeking
em p l o yment and other reasons.
W il l the President confirm
t h at nationals of such countries p r e viously employed in both the a g r icultural and tourism
i n d ustries on a permit basis for
e i gh t months of the year will then b e a ble to be employed in Jersey
o n a year round basis?
2 . When accommodation is offered to s u c h persons in a live-in
s it u ation on farms and at hotels
w il l it also mean that staff from
t h o se countries will be able to
b r in g dependants to the Island to
li ve with them?''
The President of the Defence Committee replied as follows -
1. I believe the Deputy will
h av e r eceived a copy of the P o li c y and Resources
C o m m ittee's consultative
d o cu m ent on immigration p o li c y which in the large
p ar t a d dresses the issues to w h i ch this question refers.
T h e Island may restrict the entry
o f a ll nationals of Continental
c o u ntries which are members of the E u r opean Community. However, the I s la nd does not at present
e x e rcise frontier control on those
a r ri ving in the Island via the
U n ited Kingdom. Once in the Island t h e rights of those concerned to
t a ke employment or occupy
r e si dential accommodation can only b e r estricted in accordance with
t h e terms of Article 4 of Protocol
3 o f the Treaty of Accession of
t h e United Kingdom to the European C o m munity. This provides that the
I n s ular Authorities shall apply
t h e same treatment to all natural
a n d legal persons of the
C o m munity'.
T h e Island currently does not
a p p ly restrictions to British
n a ti onals seeking employment.
A cc ordingly, at the present time,
n o such restrictions apply also to
t h e nationals of Continental
c o u ntries which are members of the E u r opean Community with the
e x c eption of Portuguese and
S p a nish workers. The latter have
r e m ained subject to work permits
t o d ate because under the
t ra n sitional arrangements relating
t o t he Accession of Portugal and
S p a in to the European Community
t h ei r nationals also have been
p r e cluded from seeking employment i n o ther Member States. It is only
i n r espect of the latter that the
p o s ition changes in 1992 because
o f a decision taken this year by
t h e European Community to bring
f o rw ard the ending of the
t ra n sitional arrangements from the
1 s t January 1993 to 1st January
1 9 9 2, with the exception of
L u x embourg where the former date c o n tinues to apply.
I u n derstand that later this year
t h e States will be asked by the
P o l icy and Resources Committee to c o n sider a report and proposition
o n the future treatment of the
n ationals of all Member States of
t h e European Community including B r i tish nationals. If the decision
i s ta ken that the treatment of
P o r tuguese and Spanish workers
f ro m 1st January 1992 should
e q u ate to that currently applied
t o B ritish nationals and the
n a ti onals of other Member States
o f t he European Community, I can c o n firm that Portuguese nationals
p r e viously employed in both the
a g r icultural and tourism
i n d ustries on a permit basis for
e i gh t months of the year will then b e a ble to be employed in Jersey
o n a year round basis.
2 . The position in respect of
d e p endants is broadly the same as
f o r those coming to the Island to
s e e k employment. The Island can
e x e rcise control at the point of
e n tr y. However, if such control is
n o t exercised over those arriving
v i a the United Kingdom the Island
is required to apply the same
t re a tment to all natural and legal
p e r sons of the Community including B r i tish nationals.
R e p resentatives of the Hotel and
G u est House Association and the
J e rs ey Farmers' Union at a recent m ee ting of the 1992 Group
i n d icated that much of the
a c c ommodation provided would be u n s uitable for dependants and, in
a d d ition, that the terms and
c o n ditions of employment for the m o st part would preclude workers b r in ging dependants to the Island
t o l ive with them in accommodation
o n farms and hotels.''
The Waterfront development. Questions and answers (Tape No. 110)
Deputy Stuart Syvret of St. Helier
asked the Connétable of St. John, President of the Island Development Committee, the following questions -
1. H as any interest been shown
in th e west of Albert site by
p ri v a te developers and/or
h av e a ny approaches been made to th e Island Development
C o m m ittee concerning this
si te ?
2 . If the answer to the above is yes, w h o are the parties concerned and h a v e any negotiations taken place c o n cerning any part of the site?
3 . In answer to previous questions
t h e President of the Island
D ev elopment Committee stated that s u c h issues as the sale or lease
o f t he site, the advertising of
t h e site and whether or not the
l a nd in question would be disposed
o f b y tender would be decided
a f te r the States gave their
a p p roval to the Waterfront Plan.
D o es he not feel that given the
i m p ortance of these questions
t h es e issues should be settled
b e f ore the States debate the
W a terfront report?''
The President of the Island Development Committee replied as follows -
1. T here has been a good deal of
i n terest shown by private
d e v elopers in the future
d e v elopment prospects of the
A lb ert Pier land reclamation site.
2 . No negotiations have taken place w it h any private developer in
r e la tion to developing all or part
o f t he reclamation site. By and
l a rg e, the developers that have
c o n tacted the Planning Department h a v e done so informally to
d e m onstrate and record their
i n te rest in being considered for
d e v elopment opportunities that
m ig ht arise. Because of this, I do
n o t consider it appropriate to
n a m e the many companies and
i n d ividuals concerned, until these
i n te rests become formalised.
3 . I said in response to the Deputy 's
l a st set of questions four weeks
a g o that my Committee believes it m o re important in the first place
f o r the States to consider what
s h o uld happen on the reclamation
s it e and the Waterfront in general
r a th er than how and by whom. The C o m mittee does consider the
i m p lementation of the plan to be
i m p ortant, but believes there is a
s e n sible and orderly way in which t o a pproach this project. The
M a sterplan document itself
c o n tains a section on
i m p lementation and shows how the v a r ious proposals might be brought t o f ruition using both the public
a n d private funds.
I should like to assure the Deputy ,
a nd other Members of the States, that
n o decisions about implementing the
P lan will be made without the
k nowledge and agreement of the States. I ndeed, following the approval of the
P lan by the States, it is the
i ntention of the Island Development
C ommittee to produce a report for the
S tates, in conjunction with those
C ommittees which will be involved in
i mplementing the Plan, to show how the P lan can be implemented successfully
c ombining the resources of the public
a nd private sectors.
H owever, my Committee remains of the v iew that in the first instance it is
m ore important for the States to agree w hat should happen in the Waterfront
a rea in the next 25 years.''

Committee made a statement in the following terms -
In furtherance of the
r ecommendations contained in paragraph 7 of the Second Interim Report of the
J ersey Judicial and Legal Services
R eview Committee, the Defence
C ommittee has decided to carry out a
b road review of current policies and
