WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 11TH DECEMBER 2017
Question
Will the Minister advise whether his Department provides any grants or loans to the agricultural industry separately from any such grants or loans provided by the Department of Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture and, if so, will he list for members –
- any such grants made by his Department to the agricultural industry during the last 4 years, identifying what they were for and whether the recipients were locally or foreign owned; and
- any such loans provided by his Department to the agricultural industry during the last 4 years, identifying what they were for, the rates of interest charged and whether the recipients were locally or foreign owned?
Answer
- A summary of grants provided by the Department of the Environment to the agricultural industry are listed annually in the States of Jersey financial report and accounts Annex, available on the States website.
The Department of the Environment provides support to the agricultural industry in the form of the Countryside Enhancement Scheme (CES), which is an agri-environment program intended to help land managers make environmental improvements.
Appendix A provides details of the CES support provided to the agricultural industry in the last 4 years.
Eligibility criteria for grants are not predicated on beneficial ownership as they are provided for a specific purpose.
- The Department of the Environment has not provided any loans to the agricultural industry in the last 4 years.
