Overseas Trading Corporation, First Tower, St. Helier . Statement
The President of the Finance and
Economics Committee made a statement in the following terms -
On 6th November 1990 Senator Jeune i n responding as President of the
F inance and Economics Committee to
q uestions asked of him by Deputy Mrs. B audains, informed the House that when t he Overseas Trading Corporation has
a greed a programme for the phased c losure of the First Tower factory d iscussions would be entered into c oncerning alternative employment
o pportunities for those to be made r edundant.
A schedule for the close down of
t he factory has now been received, and t he Economic Adviser has had
d iscussions with the managing director
o f the company and whether there is
f urther action the States can take to
a ssist the employees affected. The
c ompany itself has already taken steps t o provide a counselling service
e mbracing among other things the
f inding of alternative employment, the n eed for retraining with which Highlands College is also involved,
a nd pension arrangements.
I n support of the company's own
e fforts I would wish to take this
o pportunity of saying that, if an
e mployer in the Island wishes to give
e mployment to the staff to be made
r edundant by the Overseas Trading
C orporation, they can expect to
r eceive a favourable response from my
C ommittee if the engagement of that
s taff should call for a licence
a pplication under the Regulation of
U ndertakings and Development Law. This
o f course applies equally to any other
r edundancies that may arise, and has
b een the practice of my Committee for
s ome time now.
I would also wish to make clear that t here is nothing in the zero job
g rowth policy that should frustrate
t his process. That policy is concerned w ith the total number of jobs in the
I sland and with limiting the need of
i mmigrant labour to fill those jobs.
I t should not, and as far as my
C ommittee is concerned does not,
a ffect the re-employment of local
r esidents who have the misfortune to b e made redundant.''
Public sector manpower. Statement
The President of the Establishment Committee made a statement in the following terms -
At its meeting on Friday, 19th April
1 991 the Establishment Committee
f urther considered the request for
m anpower from the uniformed services.
T he Committee was unanimous in its
s upport for controls on immigration
a nd was confident that any
a ppointments approved could be met by s avings in public sector
e stablishment. The frenetic press
r eporting on the recent fire at Rouge
B ouillon school must have caused
c onsiderable alarm to residents of the
I sland with particular regard to fire
c over. It will be of interest to the
p ublic to know that at the present
t ime there are 64 permanent fire
f ighters based at the town and western s tations, and a further 36 fire
f ighters at the airport. Added to this
t here are 38 retained firemen on call
t hroughout the day and night to
s upplement the permanent force.
W hilst approving another four
p ermanent fire fighters the Committee m ust have regard for the size and cost
o f the service, and examinations of
t he present system are proceeding with a view to providing a greater
e fficiency in the use of manpower for t he future.
W ith regard to the request for two
e xtra personnel for the Drug Squad and t wo for the Child Abuse Section, the
C ommittee was unanimous in its view t hat young people should be protected a t all times. Again, in making this
d ecision, the Committee is confident
t hat public sector savings can be used
t o offset any increase.
T he request for six ambulancemen and t hree extra fire fighters at the
a irport remains deferred pending
f urther investigation, and information p roduced at the meeting gives the
C ommittee every confidence that the c ommunity will be better served as a
r esult of this examination.
T he Committee wishes to place on r ecord its appreciation of all those f ire fighters who turned out for the
R ouge Bouillon fire and has asked the P resident of the Defence Committee to p ublish details of the number of
p ersonnel both permanent and retained w ho responded to this major emergency c all, and their response times.''
