WQ.161/2018

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 25th SEPTEMBER 2018

Question

Further to his response to Written Question 118/2018, will the Chief Minister advise whether funding has now been identified to enable Statistics Jersey to run an Income Distribution Survey this year and, if not, will he explain why not?

Answer

A revised business case to fund the Income Distribution Survey has been submitted, as part of a new and streamlined allocation process to more adequately prioritise investment. The funding has not been allocated in advance of this process.

A decision is expected before the end of the year on the business case, which will enable the preparatory work to commence, including recruitment, and the survey could commence in March/April 2019
