2.5 Deputy G.C.L. Baudains of St. Clement of the Minister for Education, Sport and Culture regarding the list of the properties currently owned/administered by the Jersey Heritage Trust:
Hopefully this one will be less controversial, Sir. Would the Minister agree to circulate a list of the properties currently owned or administered by the Jersey Heritage Trust?
Deputy P.J.D. Ryan of St. John (The Minister for Education, Sport and Culture):
Deputy Bryans will take this question, Sir.
Deputy R.G. Bryans of St. Helier (Assistant Minister for Education, Sport and Culture -
rapporteur):
Quite simply, the answer is yes. I have the list here and, if the Deputy would like, I will make sure it is circulated to all Members before close of day.
The Bailiff :
A non-controversial question indeed, Deputy . [Laughter]
Deputy G.C.L. Baudains:
I am grateful to the Assistant Minister.
- Connétable A.S. Crowcroft of St. Helier :
Would the Assistant Minister agree with me that the Forts and Towers programme run by Jersey Heritage Trust represents exceptional value for the Island and helps in bringing tourists to our shores who would not otherwise probably visit?
Deputy R.G. Bryans:
Once again, a very short answer, yes, I would. I think Jersey Heritage Trust does an exemplary job of looking after the forts and towers and the like. So, yes.
- Deputy J.A. Martin:
Yes, maybe this is controversial. Yes, they do some good work but can this list include things that do not make a profit and that are being subsidised by the good work that is making a profit?
Deputy R.G. Bryans:
I am not sure I fully understand the question. Could you repeat it, please?
Deputy J.A. Martin:
Some businesses or places run by the Jersey Heritage Trust are making profit. Some are not. Will the list include this and the cross-subsidy, please? Is that clear?
Deputy R.G. Bryans:
Yes, it is. I understand now. Yes, the list will include all of the properties by Jersey Heritage and I will make sure that you have the information regarding the differences on the profit. Thank you.
Senator L.J. Farnham :
Sir, just to be helpful. If Deputy Martin checks her email, she will find she would have received the information from the National Trust itself recently.
[10:00]
The Bailiff :
This is the Jersey Heritage Trust though.
Senator L.J. Farnham :
I beg your pardon, Sir. [Laughter] Well, the National Trust is ahead of the game and they have also sent that information to Members.
