WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 1st DECEMBER 2015

Question

Will the Chief Minister advise members of the total number of people who have been issued with registration cards under the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012 since the law came into effect, to date, breaking down the numbers into first time registrations, subsequent registrations and providing the nationality and country of origin of those registered?

Answer

The figures in Table 1 below show all those people applying for registration cards under the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012, since the law came into effect on 1 July 2013, reported by nationality.

Applying for a registration card does not mean people are new to the Island, as everyone needs a registration card when moving house or changing jobs. When issuing cards we ask for an applicant's nationality, not country of origin.
