2.1  Senator B.E. Shenton of the Minister for Economic Development regarding compulsory redundancies at Jersey Airport:

I assume this will be addressed to the Assistant Minister, as the Minister is not in the Chamber.

The Bailiff :

Yes. The Assistant Minister, thank you.

Senator B.E. Shenton:

Will the Minister confirm that there will be no compulsory redundancies at Jersey Airport as a result of the Future Directions Strategy?

Deputy A.J.H. Maclean of St. Helier (Assistant Minister for Economic

Development):

I thank the Minister for his question as it enables me to reconfirm the statement set out in the Future Directions Strategy for Jersey Airport. I quote: "The airport will improve operational and commercial efficiency through restructuring the organisation with no detrimental effects upon staff, terms and conditions, and  no compulsory redundancies." This is the stated fourth strategy in the published document. Thank you.

2.1.1 Deputy G.P. Southern :

In re-examining the terms under which staff are employed at the airport, does the Minister have in mind the possibility of attempting to negotiate a no-strike agreement?

Deputy A.J.H. Maclean:

That has not been considered at the present moment, no.

The Bailiff :

We come next to a question by Deputy Baudains of the Chief Minister. Deputy Baudains is malade so this matter will fall away. The next question is by Senator Shenton of the Chairman of the Privileges and Procedures Committee.
