QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 18th NOVEMBER 2003,

BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

Question

Would the President advise members what steps the Committee has taken to secure, from the Finance and Economics Committee, additional funding for the years 2004 and 2005 to maintain the provision of free school milk and what response has been received from that Committee?

Answer

The Committee discussed the funding of school milk at its meeting held on 29th October 2003. It was agreed that funds for 2004 should be requested from the Finance and Economics Committee; however, before doing so, the Department's officers are establishing whether there will be an under-spend in 2003 that could be used to fund or part fund the cost of school milk for 2004.

The Committee has agreed to make a growth bid as part of the FSR process for 2005.
