WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th MAY 2015

Question

Will the Minister provide Members with the total amount (£s) of all grants, loans and other direct services provided to the agriculture, aquaculture and fishing sectors of the economy for each year from 2007 to the present day together with a table detailing all individual recipients of this aid in each year so that the amount and frequency of aid each individual received over this period can clearly be determined?

Answer

It is not possible to provide a breakdown of payments to individuals due to Data Protection legislation.

Prior to 2009, grantees were not listed within the annual States of Jersey Financial Report and Accounts and as such only totals can be provided. Relevant payments for 2007 and 2008 are listed in table 1 below.
