WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th JANUARY 2013
Question
How many J' category permits have, in each of the last 5 years, been converted from time limited permits to those allowing permanent residence and can a breakdown be provided of the occupational makeup of these changed permits?
Answer
| 2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 |
Finance and Legal | 23 | 32 | 47 | 38 | 62 |
Public Sector (civil servants) | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 3 |
IT | 4 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 3 |
Private Medical | 1 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
Construction | 3 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 0 |
All Other Private Sector, including retail, tourism, and telecommunications | 9 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 14 |
1(1)(j) category consents extended such that time limits are removed | 45 | 49 | 66 | 63 | 84 |
It should also be noted that just because a 1(1)(j) consent is extended from a time limited to an unlimited basis, that does not necessarily mean the individual will remain permanently resident in the Island. Indeed, the 1(1)(j) population of the Island experiences a high turnover, with up to 40% of 1(1)(j) employees leaving in any one year.
