2.4   Deputy S. Power of St. Brelade of the Chief Minister regarding the maintenance of the former Tourism Building:

Would the Chief Minister give assurances that the former Tourism Building will be kept by W.E.B. (Waterfront Enterprise Board) in a condition appropriate to its significance, status and role in the Island's history and that its current dilapidated state - with grass growing out of the roof gutters and peeling paintwork, evident during the recent Liberation Day celebrations - will be addressed?"

Senator F.H. Walker (The Chief Minister):

It is a matter of regret that these historic buildings have fallen into a temporary state of disrepair and I can assure the Deputy they will be fully restored by April 2009.

2.4.1 Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire of St. Helier :

Can the Chief Minister assure us that, for example, the weeds growing out of the gutter which were present, as Deputy Power mentioned, will be removed instantly?

Senator F.H. Walker :

I will be doing my level best to ensure that happens.  [Laughter]  I am not known for my gardening

skills nor my ability up a ladder. I will not be doing it personally, but will be doing my best to ensure that it is done.
