WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE
BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 25th SEPTEMBER 2018
Question
What plans within the Minister's portfolio, if any, are there to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Liberation Day in 2020; and has the Ministerial team had the opportunity to consider responding to the British Jersey Memorial Campaign and, if not, why not?
Answer
Liberation Day is coordinated and delivered by the Bailiff 's Office. The newly appointed Bailiff 's Consultative Panel will be meeting in October to discuss the next stage of planning for Liberation 75 in 2020.
I, the Assistant Minister with responsibility for Culture, our Department, and the arm's length organisation we support, including Visit Jersey, are engaged in the planning process led by the Bailiff 's Office. Visit Jersey have met with the Bailiff 's Office this week. I will ensure that the British Jersey Memorial Campaign is part of the ongoing discussions and planning.
The aim is to create a programme of activities that focus on hope, a celebration of peace, and the creation of a legacy that allows us to learn and grow from the lessons of the past.
