WQ.23/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 30TH JANUARY 2018
Question
Further to the answer to Written Question 1(380), in which it was stated that a request for funding had been submitted in order to deliver the next Income Distribution Survey in the current Medium Term Financial Plan period, will the Chief Minister state what has changed since the provision of that answer to result in a change to the decision about the early commissioning of the next Survey; and will he inform members whether the funding bid was submitted, what sum was requested and (if it was rejected) why the bid was rejected?
Answer
£200,000 to undertake an Income Distribution Survey is being requested as part of the "carry forward" process to support the delivery of a survey in 2018-2019.
The allocation of this budget must be prioritised alongside other requests, but it is hoped that the required funds to undertake the survey will be approved shortly and the survey can then proceed.
