The number of parking spaces provided at Cyril le Marquand House

3.  Oral Questions

3.1   Deputy G.C.L. Baudains of St. Clement of the Chief Minister regarding the number of parking spaces provided at Cyril Le Marquand House:

How many parking spaces are provided at Cyril Le Marquand House and, if they are used by States Members, would the Chief Minister specify who is permitted to use them?

Senator B.I. Le Marquand ( Deputy Chief Minister - rapporteur):

There are 24 such parking spaces: 4 are allocated to Ministers, that is the Chief Minister, the Minister for Treasury and Resources, the Minister for Economic Development and the Minister for External Relations. Two are allocated to staff fleet cars and 18 are used by senior staff from the Chief Minister's Department, the Treasury and Economic Development.

Deputy G.C.L. Baudains:

I have no further questions and I thank him for the answer.

1. Senator S.C. Ferguson:

How many parking spaces are available for use by Ministers, Assistant Ministers, Chief Officers or other civil servants within the St. Helier Ring Road, and are they provided free of charge?

The Bailiff :

I do not think that relates to the question; it is far too far removed. I think you need to ask the question in advance on that, Senator, if you wish to.

2. Deputy M. Tadier of St. Brelade :

Would the Minister consider publishing not just for his department but also liaising with the Chief Minister so that a list of all public parking spaces for public sector employees can be made available, so that we know exactly which staff benefit from free parking as part of their terms and conditions, et cetera, and that we know that those who do not? So if a comparison could be made between all the different departments.

Senator B.I. Le Marquand:

I am loath to commit the Chief Minister on that, but I will pass on that request for information to him.
