- Deputy S.Y. Mézec of St. Helier will ask the following question of the Minister for Social Security –

M.N. DE LA HAYE, O.B.E. Greffier of the States
12th November 2015 Note –
In accordance with the meeting dates fixed for 2015 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee, this meeting will continue, if necessary, on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th November 2015.
Explanatory Note regarding subordinate legislation tabled at this meeting. (See Item B)
R&O.137/2015.
Regulation 7A of the Pet Travel Scheme (Jersey) Regulations 2011 confers power to prescribe by Order the fees which may be charged in respect of the exercise of functions under those Regulations and under the "Community Regulation", i.e. Regulation (EU) 576/2013 on the non-commercial movement of pet animals, etc. (O.J. L 178, 28.6.2013, p. 1) as applied in Jersey.
This Order prescribes, for the first time, fees in respect of such functions, as set out in the table in Article 2.
Article 1 is an interpretation provision, and Article 3 gives the title to this Order and provides for it to come into force on the day after it is made.
The Order was made on 9th November 2015 and came into force on 10th November 2015. R&O.138/2015.
This Order increases the fee payable on an application to register or renew the registration of a lodging house. From 1st December 2015, when this Order comes into force, the fee will be £13.65 multiplied by the maximum number of persons proposed to be lodged, except in the case of children under the age of 5, where the fee does not apply.
The fee was last increased on 1st December 2014, when the fee was set at £13.32. The fee of £13.65 represents a 2.5% increase on last year's fee.
The Order was made on 9th November 2015 and comes into force on 1st December 2015.
WRITTEN QUESTIONS (See Item I(a))
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy M.R. Higgins of St. Helier –
"With regard to each States Department (breaking the Chief Minister's Department down into its relevant sections and Home Affairs into Police and Customs), will the Chief Minister advise –
- how many complaints have been received in respect of each department each year since 1st January 2010;
- how many complaints have been received since 1st January 2015;
- how many of the complaints in (a) and (b) remain ongoing;
- how many of the complaints resulted in –
- threats of legal action;
- actual legal action being taken against the department, detailing how many of those were dropped, are ongoing or have been settled.
the actual or estimated cost of the Law Officers' Department's time in considering the complaints made against each department or in defending them in the Courts, and, if these costs are not known, why they are not known?"
- The Minister for External Relations will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy S.Y. Mézec of St. Helier –
"When Jersey residents are stranded in other countries due to exceptional circumstances (for example a civil war starting or a terrorist attack, etc.) and the United Kingdom government arranges emergency measures for British citizens to be returned to the country, does the Jersey government have a contingency plan to then get our residents back to the Island from the UK?"
- The Minister for Social Security will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"In P.86/2005 (Income Support System') that preceded the implementation of Income Support in 2008, a number of measures of success of the new system to be done in 5 to 10-year cycles were set out as follows –
- 50% of median income (before and after Housing costs) to measure the depth of poverty;
- 60% of median income (before and after Housing costs) to measure the incidence of poverty;
- GINI co-efficient: a widely used indicator of income inequality. It ranges from 0–1 with the lower the number, the smaller the inequality;
- 90/10 percentile: is the ratio of the income of households at the 90th percentile and those at the 10th percentile. The lower the ratio, the more the equitable is the income distribution.
More measures, to be developed over time, were said to be necessary to ensure immediate feedback, e.g. –
- administration costs as a percentage of benefit expenditure;
- the percentage of applicants helped into sustained employment;
- the percentage of claimants who leave Income Support.
Could the Minister provide the data related to these measurements and state whether changes made to the system since 2008 may have affected these measurements, and state what has been put in place to measure success instead?"
- The Minister for Treasury and Resources will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"Could the Minister provide details relating to changes made to the personal income tax system (in a table format) over the last 10 years and set out whether revenue has been lost or gained through the actions taken?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"Could the Chief Minister detail the number of political and ministerial oversight groups established since November 2014, their terms of reference and the date which they began their roles?"
- The Minister for Social Security will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of St. John –
"Could the Minister detail the policy on which the Back to Work programme is based and, in particular, whether the Mental Health Strategy which has recently been published will have an effect on the way in which this policy is delivered?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy M. Tadier of St. Brelade –
"Will the Chief Minister produce for members an update of the totals of posts removed from the public sector workforce by department, using the following headings –
- Voluntary release 2015;
- Voluntary release 2016;
- Reduction in staffing numbers through natural wastage;
- Total Manpower savings achieved to date.
Will he further indicate what sections within departments have lost these posts, along with what civil service/manual grades have been lost?"
- H.M. Attorney General will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy M. Tadier of St. Brelade –
"Will H.M. Attorney General state whether it is it lawful to require all buskers to give all their earnings to charity during the month of December, including a minimum 15% to the Joint Charities Christmas Appeal, and, given that some individuals may conceivably make their livings solely from busking, is it human rights-compliant to require the giving of all their wages to charity during this period?"
- The Minister for Transport and Technical Services will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"Given that the Minister's response to question 9037 on 3rd November 2015 reveals that the Minister has already removed 1 in 8 TTS posts concentrated on municipals, where 1 in 6 workers (17%) have been lost, and that he has already cancelled one contract (Andium) due to lack of staff and has stated that he will cancel others when vacancies allow, will the Minister inform members what model he has for the delivery of municipal services in the following areas in light of these large-scale reductions –
- cleaning services – will any cleaners be retained, and, if so, on which contracts?
- parks and gardens – to what extent will his Department continue its responsibility for the parks and gardens as an essential element to a continuing tourism industry, or will it simply outsource these services?
Has the Minister yet engaged with the Connétable s over the maintenance of parks, gardens and green spaces within their parishes following any reductions in Transport and Technical Services' gardening services?"
- The Minister for Social Security will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"The response to question 9041 on Long-Term Incapacity Allowance (LTIA) awards reveals that the number of awards has increased by 31% over the years 2009 to 2014, whilst the cost of these benefits has risen by a similar amount (33%). Can the Minister inform members by how much the value of such awards has been increased to match inflation over this period?
Does the Minister accept that examination of the figures presented in the table given in the response shows that over the period the numbers of lower percentage awards have grown at a much higher rate than those higher percentage awards and, if not, why not?
What explanation can the Minister offer for the changes revealed in the table, which indicate that the degree of disability exhibited by applicants for LTIA has decreased over this period, and can the Minister assure members that these changes are not the result of deliberate policy changes on the part of Ministers, past and present, to toughen up' on the granting of percentage awards or simply to save money on the cost of LTIA?"
- The Minister for Education, Sport and Culture will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy J.M. Maçon of St. Saviour –
"The Skills for Success: A Skills Strategy for Jersey' Report (R.61/2014) refers to Higher Education and, specifically on page 24 at paragraph 66, it refers to a situation whereby tuition fees could increase, leading to a requirement for additional investment from the States. Will the Minister be seeking additional funds for Higher Education within the MTFP addition and, if not, what contingency will he have in place should the tuition fee increase during the period of the MTFP addition?"
- The Minister for Education, Sport and Culture will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy J.M. Maçon of St. Saviour –
"On page 26 of the Skills for Success: A Skills Strategy for Jersey' Report (R.61/2014), reference is made to 5 particular objectives that would need to be achieved in order to "continue to provide financial support for students studying towards a first degree and encourage the development of degree courses on-Island that meet employer demand for local graduates and bring benefits to the individual, the community and the economy". Could the Minister advise at what stage his Department is with regard to these objectives and whether there are target dates for completion?"
- The Minister for Social Security will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"Recently the Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel learned that the Social Security Department used the services of around 40 individuals employed through an agency on zero-hours contracts working regularly on 9 to 5 hours, with 11 people having been with the Department for over 12 months.
Does the Minister consider that this practice breaches the guidelines laid down by JACS concerning the use of zero-hours contracts, as –
- there is a mutuality of obligation involved here;
- regular hours are being worked and a fixed-term contract would be far more appropriate;
- these contracts should have been reviewed with the employee after 6 months at least?
To what extent is this practice governed by FTE manpower quotas set by the States governing the Department's employment practice?
Does the Minister consider that her use of zero-hours contracts in this manner sets a poor example of employment practice, since these workers miss out on sickness and pension rights?
The Minister revealed that a quarter of current staff (some 60+) have been transferred from agency work to contracted work over the past few years. How does this practice fit in with the current States' policy on voluntary release and non-replacement?"
- The Minister for Economic Development will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"When will the Minister (or his Assistant Minister with delegated responsibility for competition policy) bring to the Assembly the results of the Channel Islands Competition and Regulatory Authorities' (CICRA) enquiry into domestic fuel pricing?
When he does so, will he liaise with other Ministers as required to seek further price reductions in the retail price of gas to build on the 3.5% reduction of last winter, given that the wholesale price of gas has reduced by a further 30% over this period and, if not, why not?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy G.P. Southern of St. Helier –
"What consideration have the Chief Minister and the States Employment Board (SEB) given to the continued sustainability of the Public Employees Contributory Retirement Scheme in the light of the SEB policy of large-scale targets for voluntary and compulsory release and non-replacement of the public sector workforce and, if none, will he do so and report to the Assembly on this issue?"
- H.M. Attorney General will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy M.R. Higgins of St. Helier –
"Will H.M. Attorney General –
- provide Members with an organization chart for the Law Officers' Department and explain the number of lawyers and other staff it has and what their duties and/or functions are;
- explain how many of his staff are engaged in giving advice to States departments when the Ministers responsible for those departments are threatened with legal action, and in defending civil actions that are brought before the courts;
- explain how many of his staff are engaged in giving advice to States departments when departments are dealing with cases with a view to recommending that a prosecution be considered, and prosecuting those same people in the criminal courts;
- explain how many Crown Advocates have been employed each and every year since 1st January 2010 up to the present date by the Law Officers' Department and state for what purposes, and explain how much they have been paid during this period?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy M.R. Higgins of St. Helier –
"Will the Chief Minister –
- explain why the case against former Senator Stuart Syvret for Data Protection offences with which he was charged was dealt with in camera', when the United Kingdom has only conducted one or 2 such secret trials in terrorism cases, when national security was concerned and sensitive intelligence material was being revealed;
- explain to members how much this trial cost, where the funds were sourced and where it is accounted for in the States of Jersey accounts;
- explain to members whether any award, compensation, expenses or reward was given to any of the 4 individuals who gave evidence against the former Senator in his trial?"
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy M.R. Higgins of St. Helier –
"With regard to each States department (breaking the Chief Minister's Department down into its relevant sections, and Home Affairs into its relevant sections, including Police and Customs), will the Chief Minister advise members how many subject access requests under the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005 –
- have been filed against the department each year since 1st January 2010;
- how many have been filed since 1st January 2015;
- how many of these requests were completed within the 40-day period;
- how many subject access requests have remained unanswered after 3 months, 6 months and 1 year or more?
- The Chief Minister will table an answer to the following question asked by Deputy M.R. Higgins of St. Helier –
"(1) Will the Chief Minister set out for members the entire cost of the suspension of the former
Chief Officer of the States of Jersey Police from October/November 2008 to the present time, breaking this sum down into –
- the costs of his salary during his suspension and the salary of the Deputy Chief Officer of Police who acted up for him;
- the cost of the Napier Report;
- the cost of the Wiltshire Report;
- the cost of the Judicial Review into his initial suspension;
- the cost of time spent by the Law Officers dealing with this matter before and after his suspension;
- the costs of the UK PR consultant who was employed by the States immediately before the suspension?
(2) Is the Chief Minister satisfied that this money was well spent?"
