WQ.157/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM,
SPORT AND CULTURE
BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 12th APRIL 2021
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 19th APRIL 2021
Question
How many members of the Economic Council, the Council of Ministers or the Competent Authorities represent, or have direct links with, companies benefiting from the Government Co-Funded Payroll Scheme?
Answer
The Co-Funded Payroll Scheme supports employees, and by extension businesses, in order to safeguard their salaries through the pandemic. Businesses' role is as a facilitator of the payment mechanism to staff, but they do not retain any of the funds.
States Members' interests are declared on the register on the States Assembly website.
It should be further noted that the Economic Council has never engaged in discussions around co-funded payroll or other elements of the business support package as this is outside of their remit.
More information regarding the recipients of the Co-Funded Payroll Scheme is available on the gov.je website via the link below:
