WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY J.M. MAON OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd MARCH 2016
Question
Will the Minister outline the timetable for proposals for an additional waste charge to include –
- Green paper stage
- White paper stage
- Scrutiny review period
- Amendments post scrutiny review
- Lodging for debate
- Debate
Answer
The MTFP has outlined the need for raising £3m in 2018 and £10m in 2019 on waste charges. To achieve the income the Department for Infrastructure have developed a range of options which are enclosed in a Strategic Outline Business Case Document which has just been produced. A summary of this Document has been presented to the Council of Ministers and has been shared with the Environment scrutiny panel.
We are arranging a workshop with states members to discuss the report findings, possible funding options and timescales. This is to be organised as soon as practicable.
The Council of Ministers will include their proposals for any additional charges within the MTFP Addition. In accordance with the Finance Law, this will be lodged on 30 June 2016, for a twelve week period before debate, giving States Members and Scrutiny sufficient time to consider the proposals in detail before they are debated at the end of September 2016. Provided proposals are approved, subsequent legislation will need to be brought to the Assembly, which will be subject to the normal process of review by Scrutiny.
