WQ.19/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st JANUARY 2020
Question
Further to the oral question without notice I put to the Minister on 12th November 2019, will the Minister advise whether an inventory has been undertaken of the furniture that was left in Cyril Le Marquand House and whether any such furniture has been sold (or will be sold) to offset any expenditure on furniture required for the Government's offices in Broad Street?
Answer
A full inventory of all the furniture in Cyril Le Marquand House has been completed.
Since the building was closed down, its furniture has been used to mitigate avoidable cost in the colocation of the regulation function into the Parade, to furnish the Team Jersey offices and learning rooms, to allow the Jersey Property Holdings team to co-locate at La Collette and to facilitate a number of other minor office relocations and moves.
We retain the remaining furniture in the knowledge that there will be further moves required to facilitate the various capital premises projects which are in the programme. I believe that this has the effect that Deputy Gardiner is alluding to in her question, demonstrating husbandry of the government's assets.
In due course when the capital projects have been completed and rationalisation of the public estate occurs, surplus furniture fixtures and fittings will be disposed of transparently, responsibly, sustainably and equitably.
