QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 10th JUNE 2003, BY SENATOR E.P. VIBERT

Question

In view of the apparently difficult trading conditions in the potato market and the possible serious financial implications for a large number of Jersey potato farmers, would the President inform members whether the Committee will be bringing forward proposals for additional financial aid to the farming industry for 2003?

Answer

I have received a letter expressing concern over the current situation and will be meeting with key stake holders as soon as possible.

It is not possible to say more until that meeting has taken place.
