QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE FINANCE AND ECONOMICS COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 18th MARCH 2003,
BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT
Question
Paragraph 5.3 of the Jersey Heritage Trust's Constitution states those persons who shall be eligible for the Board. Paragraph 5.3.3 specifies a member for the time being of the States of Jersey who is committed to the objectives of the Jersey Heritage Trust as set out in paragraph 3 of the Constitution and a member for the time being of the Finance and Economics Committee nominated in writing by that Committee'.
Will the President advise which two States members currently fill these two places? Answer
During 2002, it was agreed that responsibility for the Jersey Heritage Trust would be transferred from the Finance and Economics Committee to the Education, Sport and Culture Committee. On this basis it was considered inappropriate for my Committee to appoint a Member to the Trust's Board. Instead, the Education, Sport and Culture Committee, which has for all intents and purposes already assumed practical responsibility for the Trust, has nominated a Member for this purpose, Deputy Carolyn Labey .
Regrettably, although the transfer was intended to take effect from the start of the new session of this House, a formal Report and Proposition to give legal effect to the transfer has yet to be presented to the States as the associated constitutional implications have proved to be rather more time-consuming than anticipated.
It is anticipated that the Report and Proposition will be lodged and debated shortly, after which the constitutional arrangements should be complete.
As to the States Member "who is committed to the objectives of the Jersey Heritage Trust", I can confirm that this Member is the Connétable of St Helier, Simon Crowcroft .
