WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd OCTOBER 2013
Question
Will the Chief Minister set out the composition, by country of origin, of all those with full rights to work and reside in Jersey and, if unable to do so, provide members with what information is available regarding those with a right to reside in Jersey?
Answer
It is unclear whether the question relates to any person residing anywhere in the world who could have "entitled" or "entitled for work" residential status under the new Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2011, or whether it relates to people resident in Jersey.
If it is the former, clearly, we do not have statistics on the worldwide population of such people. For example, we do not maintain records of how many people, who are still living, have left Jersey over the years.
If it is the latter, then the Statistics Unit provided figures as part of the 2011 Census which showed that 82% of residents had equivalent to "entitled" status. For the full information, see http://www.gov.je/Government/Census/Census2011/Pages/2011CensusResults.aspx.
