WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th JULY 2014
Question
Further to the response given on 17th June 2014, will the Chief Minister set out for members the number of people who have applied for registration cards under the new Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012, breaking down the numbers into the nationality and country of origin for all those who have applied during the first full year of its operation?
Answer
The figures below show all those people applying for registration cards under the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012 for the first full year of operation of the new law.
Applying for a registration card does not mean people are new to the Island, as we all need registration cards when moving house or changing jobs.
When issuing cards we ask for an applicant's nationality, not country of origin.
