2.13 Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire of the Minister for Transport and Technical Services regarding the release of the Hazard Review Report 2':
Given the information for the reassurance and piece of mind for residents as the conclusion of the Buncefield Report was recognised as essential in the United Kingdom, will the Hazard Review Report 2 into the domino effect risk assessment be released in Jersey, and if so, when?
Deputy G.W.J. de Faye (The Minister for Transport and Technical Services):
The Hazard Review Group signed off the Phase 2 report - Land Use Planning Risk Assessment for the La Collette Fuel Depot and Jersey Gas Facility - on Friday, 14th December 2007. This report is due to be presented to the Council of Ministers on 24th January 2008 and subject to approval will be made public immediately after. The report will then be considered by the Planning and Environment Minister with the recommendation it is approved as a supplementary planning guidance note for any future developments at La Collette and for it to be incorporated into the Island Plan Review. The report is also being disseminated to the Environment Scrutiny Panel on a confidential basis. I thank Deputy Le Claire for respecting that confidentiality and it may be he feels in a position that he cannot tell me that he has a copy, but if he has not got a copy I can tell him that he has got a copy. [Laughter]
2.13.1 Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire:
I do not know if I have got a copy, Sir. At least I am not telling. I am respecting the confidence. However, if I had a copy and if I had have read it I might have still put the question I put this morning. What I was trying to ask and determine was that if I did have a copy that he is questioning me about - the second review report - is that copy the copy that relates to the domino
effect and would that copy, when circulated, take into account the recommendations in also the berthing of vessels and the distances in respect of the locations of those berthed vessels when taking into the account the assumptions in that report?
Deputy G.W.J. de Faye:
In short, Sir, I believe it will. To give a slightly extended reply, the Report Number 2 does deal with aspects relating to Jersey Gas as well as the fuel depot. It does also indicate the variations in the hazard distances that will ultimately be made public, obviously, roughly by the end of the month.
