QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 21st OCTOBER 2003,
BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT
Question
Would the President inform members which functions the Committee intends to relocate to the Howard Davis Farm, and whether these proposals conform with the 1927 Deed of Gift by Mr. Davis, namely that the property is to be used as ".. une ferme d'expériences pour le développement de l'étude de l'agriculture et pour l'instruction en cette science de jeunes Jersias et autres personnes interessées".
Answer
The Economic Development Committee is not proposing to relocate any of its functions to Howard Davis Farm.
Members will be aware from the Statement made by the President of the Environment and Public Services Committee on the 7th October 2003, that as a result of the review of the Agriculture and Fisheries Department's services and the proposal to transfer responsibility for the functions of fisheries, land regulation, technical, veterinary regulation and all operational services from Economic Development Committee to the Environment and Public Services Committee, there is a subsequent proposal by the Environment and Public Services Committee that the Environment Services team from South Hill and the Water Resources team from Bellozanne will relocate to Howard Davis Farm.
The Environment and Public Services Committee is taking advice from the Law Officers' Department on this latter proposal.
