WQ.332/2020

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EXTERNAL RELATIONS BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2020

Question

Will the Minister advise what action is planned, if any, to protect Jersey's international standing should Brexit legislation that is considered to disregard international law be enacted in the U.K.?

Answer

Jersey is not covered under the proposed UK Internal Market Bill and it is a matter for the UK Parliament to decide how they wish to proceed.

As the Bill is not relevant to Jersey, we will not be taking any direct action in consequence of it. The Government of Jersey will monitor the progress of the Bill, as we do with all proposed UK legislation that affects the UK's international relationships.
