QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE POLICY AND RESOURCES COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2003, BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. JOHN

Question

"Will the President confirm whether the Committee has been requested to help in negotiations at the highest level between H.M. Government and the Bailiwicks of Guernsey and Jersey in respect of the proposed new Guernsey fishing vessel licensing scheme, due to come into operation on 1st October 2003, and, if so, will he provide the dates when the request was received from the Economic Development Committee for assistance in negotiations."

Answer

"The Policy and Resources Committee has not been requested to help in such negotiations. However, I confirm that following an informal meeting in May of this year, which I attended along with the President of the Economic Development Committee and Deputy Laurie Morgan from Guernsey, it was agreed that the Economic Development Committee would deal with these matters directly."
