QUESTION PAPER (See Item G)

Deputy G.C.L. Baudains of St. Clement will ask the following questions of the President of the Committee for Postal Administration -

"1. In view of the increase from 15 pence. to 80 pence for

unpaid or underpaid mail, would the President -

1. confirm that a local item, if slightly overweight or under stamped by as little as a penny, would, from 1st January 2003, incur the 80 pence surcharge?
2. give reasons for this 533 per cent increase in charges? and
3. also account for the increased cost in re-directing mail from £30 to £192.50 per annum?

2. In relation to P.O. box numbers, would the President give figures for -

1. the cost of the service?
2. the number of boxes in use, for each of the last five years?

3. (a) In the Parish of St. Clement, daily post can be delivered at any time between 8.30 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. Would the President explain why daily post delivery times vary so significantly?

(b) In previous elections, Jersey Post has offered a service to deliver flyers, including printing where appropriate, for election candidates. Will the President explain why on this occasion, the Department has advised that it is too busy to deliver Deputies' manifestos as a flyer', but would be able to deliver them if posted either in the normal way or using Pro Mail?"

Senator P.V.F. Le Claire will ask the following question of the President of the Policy and Resources Committee -

"The President made a statement to the Assembly on 17th April 2002 on recent developments concerning the E.U. Tax Package, including position of the Code of Conduct Group and the four specific harmful tax measures as identified by Ms. Dawn Primarolo UK Paymaster General. Would the President advise members -

1. what the Committee has learnt about subsequent EU meetings concerning Jersey and would the President supply members with the most up to date information on these issues?
2. whether the full Committee is briefed on these very important issues and their impact upon the deadline of 31st December 2002 for their removal?"

Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier will ask the following question of the President of the Public Services Committee -

"The President has referred to the Residents' Parking Scheme now operating in St. Helier No. 2 District as a 12 month trial Scheme'. He has also committed himself to a full review of the Scheme before extending Residents Parking to other areas.

1. Will the President undertake to review the Scheme, in full consultation with the residents concerned, by the end of January 2003, i.e. after a period of three months, so that the Scheme can run with maximum efficiency?
2. The Scheme currently contains only one disabled space, whereas United Kingdom guidelines for parking schemes of under 200 spaces require a minimum of three disabled spaces. Would the President undertake to review the number of spaces for disabled residents in consultation with the Connétable of St. Helier , to bring this Scheme up to United Kingdom minimum standards?"

Senator P.V.F. Le Claire will ask the following questions of the President of the Harbours and Airport Committee -

"1. In answer to questions on 22nd October 2001, the President

informed members that the States launch had been outside our territorial waters five times in the last year and identified those destinations.

Would the President now inform members -

1. the purpose of each journey?
2. whether any of them were non-essential or of a non- departmental nature?
3. in the event that any were non-departmental or non- essential, who paid for fuel and crew costs?

2. With reference to the recent unfortunate accident between another boat and one skippered by the Harbour Master, would the President -

1. confirm that the Custom's RIB (rigid inflatable boat) actually passed over the boat it crashed into?
2. confirm that an electrical fault has been blamed for the accident, and if so, how that electrical fault was responsible for the accident?"
