States' members remuneration - questions and answers (Tape No. 409)
Deputy Frederick John Hill of St. Martin asked Deputy Derek Ryder Maltwood of St. Mary , President of the House Committee, the following questions -
1. O n 6th May 1997, the report of the
S tat e s M embers' Remuneration Board w as r el eased to enable the House
C om m ittee to bring a proposition
be f or e t he States. Would the

2 . The House Committee has been in the pr oc ess of producing a States Members' H a ndboo k. Would the President inform m em bers of the progress of the
pr od uction and when it will be
com pleted?''
The President of the House Committee replied as follows -
1. I regret that the Deputy of St.
M ar ti n has had to ask these
que s t ions as it had been the
int e nt i on of the House Committee to l o dge t his proposition several
m ont hs ago.
T he po sition is that the House
C om mittee decided to present to the
S t a tes a report and proposition seeking appr oval of the recommendations of the
B oar d. However, some complications then ar o se with the administrative
pr oc edures of the Scheme, but I am
pl eas ed to report that these have now been resolved. Therefore, I envisage
t ha t the House Committee will approve
t he r eport and proposition at its
m eet ing on 30th October. They will then be l odged au Greffe' through the
i nt er mediary of the Finance and
E conom ics Committee and I would expect t ha t the proposition will be debated on
9t h December 1997.
2 . The Members' Handbook is at last on the ver ge of publication. I envisage that
t he f inal draft will be approved by the
H o us e Committee at its meeting on 30th O c t ober 1997. In which case, it will
t he n be prepared for publication and
di st ributed as soon as possible
t he r eafter.
I n c ase I do not have a better
oppor tunity, I would like to thank all
t ho se who have been involved in its
pr e paration. A considerable amount of
w o r k and research has been undertaken
by a n umber of people and, on behalf of
t he H ouse Committee and fellow members, I w ould like to express my sincere
gr a titude to them.''

Jersey Arts Trust - statement
The President of the Education Committee made a statement in the following terms -
Following questions asked of me by Deputy V ibert on 7th October 1997, I undertook to
m ake a statement to the House concerning
t he issues raised in his first question
w hich was -
W i ll the President inform the Assembly of t he progress that has been achieved
by t he Jersey Arts Trust against its
s tat ed targets for the years 1996 and
1997, w hich were included in its Five
Y e ar Plan, presented to the States on
9t h July 1996 as part of P.114/96
Je r sey Arts Trust: future funding'?'
A s I confirmed at the time, I had contacted
t he Chairman of the Arts Trust, Sir Peter
C rill, to obtain the information requested
b y Deputy Vibert . I received a
c omprehensive response from Sir Peter which I have circulated to all members. I would
d raw the attention of members to Sir
P eter's willingness and commitment to
p rovide any further details requested by
t hem.
F or the sake of clarity, I would like to
r emind members of the status of the Arts T rust and of the relationship which exists b etween the Trust and the Education
C ommittee.
T he Arts Trust was established by an act of i ncorporation by the Royal Court.
A s such the Jersey Arts Trust was a uthorised to -
T ake, acquire, hold and possess in its cor porate name all forms of property bot h real and personal and wheresoever s it ua ted in order that the objects of
t he A ssociation may be achieved.
T he T rust is an incorporated body with w i de ranging powers and duties. Under i ts C onstitution, the Arts Trust has
t he f ollowing responsibilities to the
E duca tion Committee -
( i) to advise and co-operate with the E duc at ion Committee on matters co nnect ed with the Arts;
( ii ) l iaise with the Education
C om m i tt ee on the provision of educa t ion opp ortunities and
event s i nvol ving arts and
cr af ts .
T he Education Committee also has
r esponsibilities to the Trust. These are -
1 . to recommend to the States a person who m ay be a ppointed as Chairman; however, i t i s the States that make that
appoi ntment;
2 . to nominate a member of the Education C om mittee to act as Vice Chairman of
t he T rust;
3 . to consider and approve or reject
al t er ations to the Trust's constitution
pr op osed by a majority of its members; w h i le the Committee has a role in
appr oving amendments to the
cons titution of the Trust, it is the
r es pons ibility of the Trust to make
r ep resentations to the Royal Court for am endm ents to its constitution.
I trust that this clarifies any
m isconceptions which may have been held by m embers concerning the status of the Trust
a nd the extent of my Committee's
r esponsibilities towards it. However, I am
w illing to use my best endeavours to assist
i n resolving present difficulties and I
w ill continue to give my support to those
w ho give so much of their time and energy
t o supporting the Arts in Jersey.''
Jersey Arts Trust - questions and answers (Tape No. 409)
Deputy Michael Edward Vibert of St. Brelade asked Senator Leonard Norman, President of the Education Committee, the following questions -
1. I s the President now in a position
to, and will he now, answer my
que s t ion o f two weeks ago
regar di ng the progress that has
be en ac hieved by the Jersey Arts
T rus t agai nst their stated targets
for t he ye ars 1996 and 1997 which w er e i ncl uded in the Trust's Five Y ear P lan which was presented to the S tat es on 9th July 1936 as
pa r t of the Finance and Economics C om m ittee's proposition Jersey
A r t s T rust: future funding'
(P .114/ 96)?
2 . Will the President also inform the
m em bers as to the latest situation
r eg arding the Jersey Arts Trust's
r es t ructuring proposals for the arts in J er s ey?''
The President of the Education Committee replied as follows -
- O n 7th October, I replied to
D eput y V ibert's first question to the be s t of my knowledge and
ab i l it y. I indicated my
und erstanding that the question sh oul d have been asked of the
C hai r m an of the Arts Trust and that , on be half of Deputy Vibert , I had c ontacted Sir Peter to
se cur e hi s response.
I ha ve received a comprehensive reply f rom Sir Peter which I have circulated t o a ll members. In his letter, Sir
P et er confirmed his willingness and com mitment to provide any further
det ai ls requested by any member of the H o us e.''
Senator Patricia Ann Bailhache , Vice-President of the Education Committee, replied as follows -
- I n March of this year, the
E duc at ion Committee, in accordance w i th t he c onstitution of the Arts
T rus t , r eceived representations
fr om t h e Arts Trust for changes to
it s cons titution. The Committee
ga ve i t s approval, in principle,
to t h e pr oposals on the
und er s tanding that the Trust would
take f ur ther advice and return to
the C om mittee, in due course, with
a d et a i led draft of the amendments
pr i or t o representations to the
R oya l C ourt.
T he A rts Trust is engaged in further di scus sions with interested groups. Mem bers are well aware of the extent and n ature of those discussions.
B ecau se of the difficulties which have been experienced, the consultative pr oc ess now includes arrangements for conc iliation and we are most
appr eciative of the commitment that is bei ng gi ven by Jurat Nick Herbert who i s chai ring a first meeting of
i nt er ested parties on Tuesday, 21st
O c t ober 1997.
I m ust stress to members that the
pr op osals for amendments to the
cons titution of the Arts Trust are
s ti ll on the table'. Furthermore, I am
not a member of the group which will be m eet ing with Jurat Herbert and I am
s ur e t hat members will agree that it
w o ul d be quite inappropriate for me to m ake a ny statement which might
i nf l uence or prejudice the conciliation
w h i ch is underway.''
