16 Senator S.Y. Mézec of the Minister for Infrastructure on behalf of Deputy C.S.
Alves of St. Helier , who was absent through illness, regarding the primary school estate review in St. Helier (OQ.85/2021):
Further to the answer to Written Question 100/2021, will the Minister advise whether the primary school estate review in St. Helier has commenced; and if so, what are its terms of reference?
Deputy K.C. Lewis (The Minister for Infrastructure):
The primary school estate review has commenced. The terms of reference have been agreed by Justice and Home Affairs and Children, Young People and Education and Skills Departments. The terms of reference have been provided to the Minister for Children and Education and I will provide a copy to States Members if requested.
3.16.1 Senator S.Y. Mézec :
Can I ask if anything is contained within that that will require them to consult with the elected representatives in St. Helier , both at States and Parish level?
Deputy K.C. Lewis :
Not to my knowledge. But I would need to get back to the Deputy on that.
Senator S.Y. Mézec :
If not, would he consider putting that in? Deputy K.C. Lewis :
They have been drawn up, but I do not have a problem with the local representatives being consulted.
The Bailiff :
Deputy Martin, you have a point of order? Deputy J.A. Martin:
Yes, and I did not bring it up when Deputy Ward stepped in to ask my question, because I think Deputy Ward only had one oral question. Senator Mézec stepped in to ask Deputy Alves 's question. That does mean he has 3 oral questions that he has asked today. Just asking if that point is correct?
The Bailiff :
I am not treating the last question as Senator Mézec 's question. He is merely asking it for a Member who has, as I understand it, been taken ill. But I will review the position so that, for the next time we deal with questions, I will have a definitive view. But I am not sure I can help further with this point.
Deputy J.A. Martin:
Thank you. I was just thinking that somebody who did not have an oral question, I did not have a problem with the question being asked, but somebody who did not have an oral could have asked it just as easily. Thank you.
The Bailiff :
Senator, I will allow a little bit more injury time, so there is about a minute and a half left for your question to the Minister for Children and Education.
