WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING BY DEPUTY P.V.F. LE CLAIRE OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th DECEMBER 2007

Question

In relation to the proposals on shared equity being brought forward in conjunction with the Minister for Planning and Environment would the Minister advise members whether it is proposed that the schemes which will be introduced will allow for private sector tenants to have access to them?

Answer

The Minister for Planning and Environment has already dealt with the issue of the terminology being used so I will not reiterate that point, save to confirm that we are proposing that in the interests of clarity the Jersey scheme be known as Jersey Homebuy'. That scheme will operate in relation to the development of rezoned sites and therefore, yes it will be accessible to all first time buyers who meet the criteria for affordable housing.
