Regulation 1(1)(j) of the Housing (General Provisions) (Jersey) Regulations 1970, as amended. Questions and answers (Tape No. 156) Deputy Stuart Syvret of St. Helier asked Deputy Leonard Norman of St. Clement , President of the Housing Committee, the following questions -
1. O n 11th September, the Housing
C o m m ittee granted extensions of
co n s e n ts previously granted under R e g u la tion 1(1)(j) of the Housing
(G e n er al Provisions) (Jersey)
R e g u la tions 1970, as amended in
re s p e c t of two people, one
em p l o yed by the Guiton Group, the
o th e r b y the Hotel de France. Upon
w h a t g rounds were these decisions m a d e a nd were they intended to
si g n a l a relaxation of the
C o m m ittee's policy in respect of
es s e n ti al employees?
2 . As neither of the people involved
p o s sess professional qualifications
s p e cific to the employment that they a r e in, what research did the Housing C o m mittee carry out that led them to b e li eve that no residentially qualified p e r son could do these jobs?
3 . Why were 1(1)(j) consents granted i n r espect of these two people in the f ir s t place?
4 . Given that both of these consents
a r e renewals, what information has the H o using Committee received that
s a ti sfies it that the employers are
t a ki ng sufficient steps to ensure that
r e si dentially qualified people are
b e in g trained to fill these posts when
t h e consents expire?''
The President of the Housing Committee replied as follows -
1. O n 11th September 1992, the
H o u s in g Committee did indeed grant ex t e n s ions to two (j) category
em p l o yees employed by the Guiton G r o u p and the Hotel de France. (In
th e ca s e of the latter company the
em p l o yee in question was joining
it f r o m one of the clearing
b an k s ) .
I n m y Committee's consultative paper, R e view of the Housing Regulations', p r e sented to the States on 31st March
1 9 9 2, we describe the main criteria
a g a inst which the Committee considers e a c h application, as follows -
( i) the contribution made to the
Is l an d by the employer - e.g. in te r m s of tax revenues, service p ro v i d ed, etc.;
( ii ) the significance of the post in q u es t io n to the achievement of th a t c o ntribution;
( ii i) the track record of the
em p l o y e r in the recruitment an d t ra i n ing of local people;
( iv ) evidence that there is not a
sa t is f a ctory local candidate for th e p o st in question.
T h e two decisions in question,
a f fe cting important local employers,
w er e made on these grounds following
c o n sultation with the Economic Adviser. I n r eaching these decisions the
C o m mittee also took cognisance of the d e c ision of the States when approving
P . 7 0/92 (the proposition accompanying t h e Strategic Policy Report 1992),
n a m ely that the Housing Committee
s h o uld be more flexible in responding
t o a pplications for the extension of
e x is ting five year consents under
R e g ulation 1(1)(j) where this can be
j u st ified by reference to the long-term
i n te rests of the community.'
M y Committee was satisfied on the
m er its of these individual
a p p lications. These decisions were not i n te nded in themselves to signal a
r e la xation of the policy in respect of
e s s ential employees, but we shall
c o n tinue to have regard to the wishes
o f t he States that we be more flexible w h en considering applications for
e x te nsions of this nature.
2 . The Housing Sub-Committee, consisting
o f t wo Committee Members and the
D ep artment's Law and Loans Manager met w it h the Managing Director of the
G u iton Group and with the Managing
D ir ector of the Hotel de France on
t h ei r respective applications. The C o m mittee was advised how each of the t w o companies had taken all reasonable, p r actical steps to trawl the local
m ar ket for residentially qualified
c a n didates who met their highly
s p e cific requirements. These had been
u n s uccessful. Indeed, in the case of
t h e former company, a potential
s u c cessor had been appointed and whilst t h at employee continues to make a
v a lu able contribution to the company,
i t h as not been possible to appoint him
t o t he post in question.
3 . These are two very senior posts,
w o rking in very important local
c o m panies with large workforces. The a p p lications, when originally made five y e a rs ago, satisfied the criteria
r e fe rred to in my answer to the
D ep uty's first question.
4 . In the case of the Guiton Group, the
e x te nsion granted will enable the
e m p loyee to gain housing qualifications
i n h is own right following ten years'
e s s ential employment. It would
t h er efore have been inappropriate to
i n si st that the company train a local
r e si dent to replace the postholder when
t h e consent expires. However, the
C o m mittee is satisfied that this
c o m pany employs a considerable number
o f l ocal residents and provides
c o n siderable staff training and
p r o motion from within. It has
a p p roximately 250 employees working in t h e Island, with only two (j) category
c o n sents (including the one under
q u e stion).
I n t he case of the Hotel de France, the t h re e year extension provided, which w il l not enable the postholder to
a c q uire housing qualifications in his
o w n right, carries the condition that
t h e consent will not be extended and t h at the three year period is to be
u s e d to train a residentially qualified r e p lacement to fill the post when the c o n sent expires.
T h i s large local company does not have a ( j ) category employee other than this p a r ticular postholder.''
Housing (General Provisions) (Jersey) Regulations 1970, as amended. Questions and answers (Tape No. 156)
Deputy Stuart Syvret of St. Helier asked H.M. Attorney General the following questions -
1. W ould the Attorney General advise
th e A s sembly, as a matter of law,
w h a t p rinciples should be observed b y t h e Housing Committee in
co n s i d ering applications under the
H o u s in g (General Provisions)
(J e r se y ) Regulations 1970, as
am e n d ed?
2 . Do any different principles apply
t o a pplications under such provisions
a s R egulation 1(1)(j) ( essential
e m p loyees'') where the criteria of
e l ig ibility are not fact-based but
r e q uire the Housing Committee to make a q u a litative judgment as to whether
c o n sent should be granted?
3 . Does the Attorney General agree that
a l l applications for consent under
R e g ulation 1(1)(j) should be given the
s a m e consideration by the Housing
C o m mittee, regardless of the nature and s iz e of the business of the employer or i n te nding employer; and that the
C o m mittee's decisions should be
c o n sistent as between individual
a p p licants?
4 . Does an employer, who claims to have b e e n placed at a commercial
d i sa dvantage by reason of the refusal
o f c onsent under Regulation 1(1)(j) to
a n e mployee or potential employee of
h i s and the grant of consent to an
e m p loyee of a competitor business, have a n y redress against the Housing
C o m mittee or the States?''
H.M. Attorney General replied as follows -
1. I n a number of cases which have b ee n th e subject of appeals to the R o y a l Court, the Court has held
th a t t h e duties of the Housing
C ommittee under the Housing
(J e r se y ) Law 1949, are - ( a ) to receive all applications made to it ;
( b ) to obtain such information about th e ap p lication as is relevant to
th e d ec ision it must make;
( c ) to relate the application to
th e C o mmittee's terms of reference se t o u t in the Law;
( d ) to reach a reasoned and
co n s i s tent decision which must be ei t h er to refuse the application
o r to a llow it, conditionally or
u n co n d itionally.
T h o se duties have now to be read
i n c onjunction with the duties imposed
b y the Housing (General Provisions)
( J er sey) Regulations 1970, as amended. T h e 1970 Regulations provide that, in
r e la tion to a number of transactions,
t h e Committee shall grant consent if it
i s s atisfied as to certain facts. If,
f o r example, the Committee is satisfied
t h at a person is 20 years of age or
o v e r, was born in the Island, and has
b e e n ordinarily resident in the Island
f o r a period of at least ten years, the
C o m mittee is bound to grant him consent t o p urchase land under Regulation
1 ( 1 )(a) of the 1970 Regulations.
2 . Regulation 1(1)(j) of the 1970
R e g ulations provides that the Housing C o m mittee shall grant consent to the
s a le or transfer of land or to a
r e g istered contract of lease where -
T h e C ommittee is satisfied that th e in t ending purchaser,
tr a n sf e ree or lessee either is, or w i ll b e , essentially employed in th e Is l and and that consent can, in th e best interests of the
co m m unity, be justified.'
U n der this sub-paragraph the Committee i s th erefore required to be satisfied
o f t wo factors -
( i) that the purchaser, transferee
o r le s s ee is essentially employed,
an d
( ii ) that the granting of consent is in th e b es t interests of the
co m m unity.
C onsideration of applications under this
s ub-paragraph clearly require the exercise
o f discretion, or, as the Deputy accurately
p uts it, the making of a qualitative
j udgment. The Committee has the same duties i n this connexion as set out in the answer
t o the first question.
3. Yes. I should perhaps add that the
d u t y to give the same consideration to
a l l applications and the duty to be
c o n sistent do not mean that the
C o m mittee must always reach the same d e c ision. The weight to be given to
f a ct ors such as the nature and size of
t h e business of the employer or
i n te nding employer is a matter for the
d i sc retion of the Committee. The
C o m mittee can perfectly lawfully decide t o f avour certain industries or areas
o f e conomic activity if it decides that
s u c h is in the public interest. The
C o m mittee must however be consistent a n d reasonable in its consideration of
t h e different relevant factors.
4 . No. An applicant has of course a right
o f a ppeal to the Royal Court if he
c o n siders that the Committee's decision i s u nreasonable having regard to all
t h e circumstances of the case. In
a d d ition he can seek a review of the
d e c ision by a Review Board.''
Plutonium shipment from Cap de la Hague to Japan. Statement
The President of the Defence Committee made a statement in the following terms -
Considerable interest has been generated
i n the House and outside by the press
s tatements regarding the shipment of
r eprocessed reactor grade plutonium from
t he processing plant at Cap de la Hague
b ack to Japan. I therefore feel it is
n ecessary having received information from t he French Authorities to make this
s tatement.
T he contract
T he contract signed between Cogema and
t he Japanese Electricity Companies
s pecifies that the initial producer country
s hall have returned to it the total product
a fter reprocessing. This is to be the
s econd shipment of plutonium to be returned t o Japan, the first 250Kgs. was dispatched
i n 1984. Further shipments will continue to b e made up to the year 2000 when the
J apanese authorities will have their own
r eprocessing plant on stream.
D etails of the shipment
W e have been advised that the immediate
s hipment will be made on the MV ATASUKI M ARU of 1,500 Kg. of plutonium. It is
p ackaged in 10 Kg. lots within a cylinder
o f 1,380 Kg. Ten of these are further
p acked in a container all of which are
c arried as hold cargo. These cylinders have
b een tested for leaks to a theoretical
1 0,000 metre sea depth pressure and have been subjected to temperatures of 1,000o
c entigrade without showing any signs of
l eaking. In every case they meet the
e xacting requirements of the International
A tomic Energy Authority.
T he ship
W e are further advised that the ATASUKI M ARU of 4,800 tons was built specifically f or the transport of nuclear fuels and
m eets the requirements of the International M aritime Authority for the carriage of such f uels. This means that it has a double
s kinned hull, two engines, navigation by
r adar and satellite and the hull is
c ompletely compartmentalised, with sprays a nd CO2 extinguishers operating
i ndependently. In other words the ship is
h ighly suitable for the carriage of this
c argo.
S ecurity
T he date of departure of the shipment and r oute it will take will not be notified for
s ecurity reasons. It will be escorted
t hroughout the journey by a Japanese naval v essel and will have no need to make landfall before reaching Japan. This system h as been used to deliver 4,000 tons of fuel f rom Japan to Europe without incident.
S hould the ship sink for any reason the c argo is capable of recovering using
c lassic recovery methods or mechanical m eans.
P lutonium
T he risks to man of a plutonium leak
a rise through inhalation and ingestion. The a uthorities state that during the period
1 945 and 1973 some 4.2 tonnes were
d isseminated into the atmosphere this
r epresents just 0.4 per cent of natural
r adiation in the atmosphere. In the very
u nlikely event that an accident occurred
r esulting in a release of plutonium, this
w ould not find its way into the food chain. I t is barely soluble in water and would
r est on the sea bed, giving no significant
h ealth risk.
C onclusion
T he fact that the method of packaging
a nd transportation meets the requirements
o f international agencies, and the
a dditional level of security provided in
a ddition, makes this method the safest for
p lutonium movement. Recent concerns arising f rom media reports only stress the need for
c lose consultation between the two
a uthorities to allay the fears and concerns
w hich naturally arise.
I would wish to thank the French Consul and t he authorities at COGEMA for making this i nformation freely available to us.''
The President of the Defence Committee informed the Assembly that he had received the following letter addressed to His Excellency the
Lieutenant Governor from the Home Office -
Your Excellency
I have the honour, by direction of the
S ecretary of State, to refer to the
c oncerns expressed by the Island
A uthorities about the movements of vessels c arrying hazardous cargoes, particularly
n uclear materials, in the proximity of
J ersey.
I am to say that, in the light of the
c oncerns expressed by the Authorities of
b oth Jersey and Guernsey, officials from
t he Foreign and Commonwealth Office took t he opportunity provided by a recent
m eeting with officials from the Japanese
E mbassy about shipments of nuclear
m aterials to convey the concerns of the
I slands' Authorities about planned
s hipments of plutonium to and from the Cap d e la Hague plant. I should add that Her
M ajesty's Government has full confidence in J apan's control procedures for nuclear
m aterials.
T he Secretary of State believes that the
b ackground information set out below may be
o f assistance to the Island Authorities.
V essels do not require prior clearance to
e xercise rights of innocent passage through t erritorial seas, although vessels carrying
n uclear cargoes are required to be
d ocumented, to follow sea lanes and traffic s chemes where they exist and observe such p recautionary measures as are established
b y international agreement. When the 1958 C onvention on the Territorial Sea was
u pdated by the 1982 UN Law of the Sea
C onvention, it addressed specifically the
p roblem of ships carrying nuclear
s ubstances in its Article 23 of the new
C onvention. The Convention also maintains t he right of innocent passage through the
t erritorial sea (Articles 17-26), the right
o f transit passage through straits for
i nternational navigation (Articles 37-44)
a nd the right to innocent passage through
s traits (Article 45).
T he forthcoming shipment will be from
F rance to Japan. The United Kingdom
a uthorities are not directly involved in
t he arrangements. There is nothing secret
a bout the fact of such a shipment. The
J apanese expect to undertake the voyage
w ithout using any intermediate port.
H owever, Her Majesty's Government have no d etails of the proposed route which will be
c hosen by the Japanese Authorities.
H er Majesty's Government has full
c onfidence in Japan's non-proliferation c redentials and in the effectiveness of
t heir nuclear materials accountancy and c ontrol procedures. All nuclear materials i n Japan are under International Atomic
E nergy Authority safeguards.
T he shipment complies with all
i nternational standards and regulations and u ses massive internationally approved
c ontainers to provide an extremely high
d egree of protection against fire, impact
o r other dangers, These regulations have
s tood the test of time. In over 30 years of w orldwide transport of nuclear materials no a ccident has occurred involving such
s hipments by land, sea or air resulting in
t he release of radioactive material.
D espite this record, the international
r egulations are kept under constant review a nd regularly updated to take account of
e xperience and keep pace with technical
d evelopments; the most recent revision was p ublished in 1990. The vessel itself has
a lso recently been modified to take account
o f the latest technical developments in
s ecurity.
I have the honour to be Sir
Y our Excellency's obedient Servant
