In accordance with the meeting dates fixed for 2011 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee, this meeting will continue, if necessary, on Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th May 2011.

Explanatory Note regarding subordinate legislation tabled at this meeting. (See Item B)

R&O.43/2011.

This Order amends the Community Provisions (Restrictive Measures– Côte d'Ivoire) (Jersey) Order 2011 to take account of amendments to the relevant EU Regulation by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 85/2011 of 31 January 2011 and Council Regulation (EU) No. 330/2011 of 6 April 2011. It also gives the Chief Minister a power, rather than a duty, to notify the Commission and Member States of certain matters, and allows the Chief Minister to disclose certain information to the Jersey Financial Services Commission.

The Order was made on 8th April 2011 and came into force on 9th April 2011. R&O.44/2011.

This Order allows Jersey International Air Display a.r.l. to control access to certain roads and beaches on 7th, 8th and 9th September 2011 for the viewing of the Jersey International Air Display.

The Order was made on 15th April 2011 and came into force on being made. R&O.45/2011.

This Order substitutes paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 to the Income Support (General Provisions) (Jersey) Order 2008 in order to increase certain amounts and percentages of amounts that are disregarded when assessing the weekly income of a household for the purposes of calculating the income support payable to the household.

The new paragraph 5 embodies the following changes–

  1. in paragraph 5(a), the disregarded percentage of earnings of an adult in a household who isnot entitled to a sole adult's basic component (under Article 5(2)(b) of the Income Support (Jersey) Law 2007) rises from 16.5% to 20%;
  2. in paragraph 5(h), where 2 formulae are compared in the calculation of the disregarded percentage of earnings of an adult in a household who is entitled to such a sole adult's basic component, the formula that refers to total earnings also rises from 16.5% to 20%;
  3. in paragraph 5(f), the disregarded amount"100% of the first £35.98" [of income derived from a pension or annuity of one person in a household who is aged at least 65] is increased, by £1.82, to "100% of the first £37.80";
  4. in paragraph 5(g), the disregarded amount"100% of the first £22.40" [of income derived from a pension or annuity of any other person in a household who is aged at least 65] is increased, also by £1.82, to "100% of the first £24.22".

The Order was made on 18th April 2011 and will come into force on 1st June 2011.

R&O.46/2011.

This Order increases fees in the following enactments–

Animal Welfare (Licence Fee) (Jersey) Order 2008

Dangerous Wild Animals (Jersey) Law 1999

Artificial Insemination of Domestic Animals (Bovine Semen) (Jersey) Order 2008 High Hedges (Application Fee) (Jersey) Order 2008

Waste Management (Fees) (Jersey) Order 2008

Planning and Building (Fees) (Jersey) Order 2008.

The increases, the first since 1st January 2010, are generally around 2.5%.

In a few cases the old and new fees are not strictly comparable. In Schedule 1 (planning permission) to the Planning and Building (Fees) (Jersey) Order 2008, the fees in relation to dwellings will be calculated on the basis of their floor area (instead of on the basis of a flat fee). Moreover, the fee will vary according as there are one or more dwellings (instead of up to 5, or more than 5, and whether they are flats or houses).

In Schedule 2 (building permission) to the same Order, the fees for the creation of new flats and new dwelling houses will in future be calculated on the basis of the simple number of flats or houses, rather than differently according as there are up to 5 or more than 5 flats or houses.

Certain fees will not change, notably the building permission fees for certain modifications of existing structures.

The Order was made on 18th April 2011 and came into force on 2nd May 2011. R&O.47/2011.

Would the Minister explain what the impact would be of annual 0.5% increases to employer and employee rates over the next 5 years on the social security fund and on the need to raise the pension age? Will the Minister agree to consult fully on a wider range of options than the far-reaching option being put forward in the proposition?"
