QUESTION PAPER (See Item G)
Deputy M.E. Vibert of St. Brelade will ask the following question of the President of the Policy and Resources Committee -
"1. In the Conclusion of the Policy and Resources Committee's
recently published Population Policy: Interim Report (R.C.21/2001) paragraph 54 states The one insight that perhaps can be said to have emerged from all this so far, and of which the Committee is particularly mindful, is that it is as easy - if not easier - to contemplate a medium-term scenario for Jersey of a falling population as much as a significantly rising one. There is no particular evidence of the latter, but a fair number of signs and pressures at least pointing towards the possibility of the former.'
In the light of the fact that Jersey's population has risen constantly over the past five decades, and in the Committee's own report (paragraph 17) it is estimated to have risen by 2,450 in the past four years alone, could the President justify the quoted statement in paragraph 54. In particular, could the President explain why the constantly rising population figure is not particular evidence' of a rising population and detail and explain what are the fair number of signs and pressures' which are said to be pointing to a falling population?
2. Will the President confirm the existing States' policy of a permanent resident population the same or less than the current level' as first agreed by the States in 2000 and Beyond' when the population was around 85,000, and re-affirmed in the Strategic Policy Review of 1997, is still being pursued by his Committee?"
