WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2009

Question

"Following the Minister's written answer to my question on 20th October 2009, will he implement the Chief Minister's commitment to inclusivity by including proponents of progressive tax measures on his review of fiscal strategy steering group, such as the Jersey Democratic Alliance, to ensure the wider alternatives to his own "low- tax, low-spend/small-government, big-business" political philosophy are fully examined, and if not why not?"

Answer

I fully intend to follow the Chief Minister's commitment to inclusivity by including proponents of progressive tax measures on the review of the fiscal strategy.
