Question
Will the Chief Minister explain to the Assembly his plan for the implementation of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 stating in particular his timetable for implementation and where in the Medium Term Financial Plan he has made provision for the necessary expenditure?
Answer
In addition to the £500,000 already allocated from the Central Reserve to commence implementation of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law, 2011, provision has been made within the £16m "Emerging Items" Contingency in the Medium Term Financial Plan. The intention is to implement the Law in 2015.
The Council of Ministers is due to be briefed on progress and approach in October 2012 and, in the same month, the Chief Minister will update the Privileges and Procedures Committee on this matter. As implementation plans are finalised, more detailed information will be placed in the public domain.
