WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. JOHN

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 19th JULY 2010

Question

Following the announcement that a Board is proposed for the Airport and Harbours, will the Minister advise whether any meetings have been held with a Shadow Board/group of people to discuss the setting up of an interim Board, and if so would he provide details, including who was present, and advise whether any politicians (current or former) were also present?"

Answer

The issue of future governance arrangements for Jersey Harbour and Jersey Airport is integral to the Economic Development Department's (EDD) oversight of both ongoing operations at the trading bodies and the Comprehensive Spending Review.

A number of meetings to discuss future governance arrangements have been held between the Economic Development Minister, Assistant Ministers and senior officials from EDD, Jersey Harbour and Jersey Airport culminating in the announcement that a single "Shadow Board" will be appointed to provide private sector non- executive oversight.

No former politicians have been present at these meetings.
