WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY, 7th NOVEMBER 2006

Question

Would the Minister inform members out of which sources of funding, within the 2006 Economic Development Departmental  budget,  the  additional  awards  of £50,000  and £45,000  were  made  to  the  Battle  of  Flowers Association?

Answer

The £50,000 additional grant for the Jersey Battle of Flowers was sourced from an approved under spend carried forward from 2005. This was approved by the council of ministers.

The further £45,000 was underwritten by the Tourism Development Fund. However it is likely that this will actually be funded by the 2006 departmental under-spend which arises as a result of the prudent financial management which is practiced throughout the department.
