Jersey Royal potatoes. Questions and answers (Tape No. 144)
Senator Richard Joseph Shenton asked Senator Nigel Lewis Quérée, a member of the Agriculture and Fisheries Committee the following
questions -
1. Wi ll the President inform the
H ous e of the breakdown in costs as s oci at ed with shipping one tonne of J er s ey Royal potatoes to the
U ni ted Kingdom using Lo-Lo
faci l i ti es at Jersey and
P or t s m outh; the breakdown to
incl ude t he costs of sea freight,
st eve dor ing charges at both ends, ha r bour dues, the cost of pallets,
pa ckagi ng in Jersey, road
tr an spor t in Jersey, road
tr an spor t in the United Kingdom, co m m issions and any other relevant ch ar ge s?
2 . Will the President inform the House as t o t he total value of the 1992 Jersey
R oyal exports to date and express the
cos ts as a percentage per tonne of the
t ot al value?
3 . Will the President inform the House as t o t he total number of vergées of
ar abl e land in Jersey that is used for
pot ato production only?''
Senator Quérée replied as follows -
Senator Shenton's questions enable
t he Agriculture and Fisheries Committee to i nform the House that it has already
d ecided to undertake a survey into
d istribution and marketing charges as well
a s margins at outlets. There are a number
o f elements that make up the charges and
t hese replies detail the result of the
C ommittee's first investigations but have,
a s yet not been compared to marketing costs i n other areas.
1 . Representative costs are as follows - ( a ) Handling
S tor e pack ing (excluding bags) 24. 80
25 k g bags per tonne i.e. per 40 1 0.20
P al l e tt s each 4.40
Je r s e y r oad haulage )
Je r s e y s tevedores 3.55 )
Je r s e y har bour dues 5.10 ) 61.80
S ea f rei ght Lo-Lo ) pe r tonne
P or t s m outh harbour dues ) P or t s m outh stevedores )
U ni ted Kingdom road haulage )
P rom o tions activity funding 3.00 W hol e salers handling charge
and qua lity control levy 1. 4
0
T ot al 10 5.60
( b ) Commission rate 6 per cent to whol es al er s plus a further 1.5 per
ce nt a s marketing charges
( c ) Other charges -
i ns ur anc e 0.6 per cent gr oup l evy 0.1 per cent.
S everal points must be borne in mind in l ooking at these costs.
( a) Jersey harbour dues on produce exported ar e r efunded in part by the States. In
1991 t he figure was £3.65 a tonne
r ef und o n all produce exported.
( b) The promotion activity fund levy is f inanc ed from within the Committee's pr om otion and advertising votes and r ef unde d to growers.
( c) The marketing groups have to decide on a f r eight rate before the season
com mences, i.e. total weight, likely
peak s - length of the season and the
det ai led distribution pattern are not
know n. Thus in some years there is an
el em ent of rebate on these costs by
s om e groups.
( d) The road freight cannot be assessed in s im ple terms as it represents the cost
of a chieving a delivery aligned to
m ar ket requirements necessitating for exam ple part load deliveries and
l oa di ngs designed to meet supermarket del i very slots.
T he f reight rate also includes
r ef r igerating potatoes and storing pot atoes in refrigerated conditions, w h en ne cessary, and also includes all over time rates incurred in Jersey and P or tsmouth docks.
I t w ill be noted that the total costs
of a n individual consignment sent by L o - Lo mid week and delivered to an adj ace nt market would undoubtedly be l es s than the £61.80 quoted. The
r ea s ons for the higher standard cost
ar e out lined above.
( e) Packing charges include all overtime and p acking on public holidays and
w e eke nds.
2 . The full value of the season is not yet
know n. However it is known that 49,657 t on nes had been exported up to 30th
J une . The United Kingdom gross value on t he f irst 27,204 tonnes was
£ 12,11 9,201. Bearing in mind the
ans wers to question 1 the costs would
be a pproximately 30.5 per cent of the
val ue. S ince that time prices have
f al l en and thus handling, etc. becomes
a l ar ge percentage of the value.
3 . No records are available of the
s pec ific uses of areas of land. What is
avai lable are the areas devoted to
var ious crops and the income attributed t o t hose crops. The table clearly
i nd icates the industry's increasing
r el i ance on the Jersey Royal over the
l as t few years - land usage is similar
to t hat of the early sixties but
f inanc ially the dependance on the
J er s ey Royal has increased to almost 60 per cent of total exports.

Comparative Study of Salaries and Wages
in the Private Sector. Questions and Answers (Tape No. 144)
Deputy Alan Payn Bree of Grouville asked Senator Richard Joseph Shenton, President of the Establishment Committee the following

o f Salaries and Wages in the Private

inf or m ed on 21st January 1991.
( b) The first draft was received on 23rd J ul y 1991 . A final draft is still
aw ai ted.
( c) When the Establishment Committee is s at i sfied that the terms agreed with
P .E . have been met it will be made
avai lable, as originally agreed, to the
C i vi l Service Staff Side and private
s ec tor organisations which participated i n t he survey.''
Change of Presidency

Postal services. Statement
The President of the Committee for Postal Administration made a statement in the following terms -
My Committee would wish the House to be a ware of the difficulties Postal continues
t o face in attempting to follow States
p olicy, with particular regard to zero
j ob growth, against a background of
i ncreasing volumes of mail.
I n order to operate a high level of service
f or the businesses and public of the
I sland, against a background of manpower
a nd financial constraint, there is a need
to review methods and work practices and
t his includes the introduction of
m echanisation. Change is commonly met with r esistance, in this respect Postal is no
d ifferent and considerable difficulties are
b eing experienced.
T he Establishment Committee has been both i nformed and involved in the discussions
b etween the Postal Committee and the Union
o f Communication Workers. Satisfactory
p rogress with the discussions has been
h elped by the intervention of the Deputy
G eneral Secretary of the Union who spent
s everal days in the Island on two occasions
i n the past few months.
I n any large work force there is always a
s mall element who will act in a way to
c ompound difficulties and again the Postal
D epartment is no exception. This has caused e mbarrassment to the Department and
i nconvenience to the public of the Island.
S uch problems can only be resolved in-house a nd are not helped by misinformed media attention. Although it will not come as a
s urprise to Members to learn of the
i ncreasing amount of mail incoming to the
I sland, so far this year another 10 per
c ent, many Members may not appreciate that w e now handle over one million items per
w eek. Coupled with the growth in the number
o f addresses it says much for management t hat we have been able to provide the level
o f service without taking on extra staff.
T he saddest part of this unfortunate
e pisode is that at a time when there is a
n eed to modify attitudes and moderate
e xpectations throughout the public sector
w e were being attacked by the Jersey
E vening Post who invited criticism in order t o fill their pages and who expected my
C ommittee to openly debate the issue which h ad become extremely delicate.
T hanks to the co-operation of the many
l oyal staff and the Union of Communication W orkers, who recognise their
r esponsibilities, we now have a climate
w ithin which the recently introduced
m echanisation can be used in a productive m anner and so help contain costs and high
l evels of overtime in an operation that is
e ssentially labour intensive.
I t is hoped that the House will appreciate t he difficulties that the Postal Department f aces and will continue to support us in
c arrying out States policies, which in the l ong term will be of benefit to the postal u ser.''
Access to premises and related facilities. Statement
The President of the Island Development Committee made a statement in the following terms -
Members of this House will be aware that
i n addition to planning services my
C ommittee provides a comprehensive building c ontrol service to the Island. One of its
o bjectives is to ensure that all new
b uilding construction work complies with
l egislation and good building practice. The
p ublic is fortunate in being able to rely
o n my department's professional expertise
w hich, in my Committee's view, has over the
y ears generally resulted in a great
i mprovement in the quality of building
s tandards in the Island.
I n 1961 we were given the legal authority
o f the Public Health (Control of Building) ( Jersey) Law 1956 to carry out this work. T he purposes of this Law are very clearly s et out in detail in Article 2 which
d efines the powers available to the
C ommittee to make Bye-laws. There are
c urrently in place 128 Bye-laws whose
r evision is now well advanced. It was
i dentified that a serious gap existed in
t he Law's provision for access and
f acilities for disabled persons. In the
m odern world it is imperative that we find w ays of enabling all members of our
c ommunity to lead as full a life as is
p ossible.
M y officers, aided by Mr L. Davis an
a dviser to the U.K. government, have now
c ompleted a draft of the requirements of
n ew Bye-laws for access for the disabled
w hich my Committee intends to introduce. We h ave requested the Attorney General to
a dvise whether the purposes in the existing
L aw are sufficiently wide to empower these
d raft Bye-laws, of which there is some
d oubt.
W e have, therefore, decided to issue these B ye-laws as a code of practice in advance
o f my Committee obtaining the necessary a mendments to the Law.
M embers of the House have today received a c opy of the draft code of practice which is
b eing issued for consultation by
a rchitectural practices. It will then
b ecome a voluntary code of practice to
w hich we would ask all development
a pplications for public buildings to
c onform to, including particularly all new
c onstruction work to States buildings.
M y Property Services Department will be e ndeavouring with the Public Services
D epartment to try to advance plans for
i mproved access to existing States
b uildings wherever possible. This requires r esources which we have every confidence t he States will provide in due course.
I would like to record my
C ommittee's gratitude for the help we have r eceived from the staff at Overdale and the D isabled Access Group in the preparing of t his code which I am sure will be of help
t o all those involved.''
