WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY SENATOR F. du H. LE GRESLEY
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 20th JUNE 2011
Question
Will the Chief Minister be bringing forward proposals to amend the Bankruptcy (Désastre) (Jersey) Law 1990, as recommended in the final report of the Jersey Law Commission on the subject of social désastre?
Answer
I cautiously welcome the recommendations of the Law Commission. The Legislation Advisory Panel will consider the Law Commission's report at its next meeting in July. I anticipate that once the Panel has had a better opportunity to fully examine the recommendations along with the Law Officers Department, it will be in a position to advise me on the best course of action.
I would reiterate the comments I made to Senator Le Gresley on 18th January 2011, in which I affirmed my belief that more debtors should have access to the bankruptcy system.
