WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE
BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 14TH JUNE 2016
Question
Will the Minister detail for Members, what proposals, if any, he has under consideration for reducing cultural grants for 2017, 2018 and 2019 and, in the event of a reduction, which organisations will be affected?
Answer
The part that Culture plays in the well being and quality of life of Islanders cannot be underestimated and it is important that the States continues to invest in critical arts and cultural infrastructure at an appropriate and affordable level
The Medium Term Financial Plan Addition is due to be lodged with the States Assembly on Thursday June 30th and detailed proposals for savings and investment will be made public on that date. States Members will receive a detailed briefing on the plan before it goes into the public domain.
Ministers are now finalising the proposals in the MTFP Addition, which follow the Strategic Plan agreed by the Assembly – to prioritise Health, Education, Infrastructure and Economic Growth and to balance our books by 2019 through savings, restructuring, economic growth & some charges.
