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.
