THIRD AMENDMENT (P.72/98 (revised)) ____________

In th e Third Amendment, for the words with effect from 1st January 2000 substitute the words from the first day of the

month following the adoption by the States of this proposition.

DEPUTY P.J. RONDEL OF ST. JOHN

Report

Given that the States did not follow the recommendations of the remuneration board and decided to support Senator Shenton's amendment, it must also be right that NO backdating of income support takes place.

Given that an 18-month backdate would amount to approximately £15,000 per member who claim income support and a six- month backdate would be some £5,000, that on top of a 65 per cent increase in income support is totally unacceptable, and I believe that no States member could justify this.
