WQ.300/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 14th JUNE 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 21st JUNE 2021
Question
Will the Minister explain in what way, and for what reasons, the former Director General of his department was employed as a consultant after leaving the employment of the States of Jersey; will he further explain the duration of the consultancy work, its value, and whether the work contracted for was put out for tender; and if not, will he explain why not?
Answer
I can confirm that the former Director General of Infrastructure, Housing and Environment has not been employed by the department as a consultant after leaving the Government of Jersey. The DG is free to pursue his own professional career in the private sector which he is doing. I am aware that he has provided services to two private companies who are currently contracted to Government. That is an arrangement between the former DG and those private companies. It does result in his expertise being provided to those companies, and therefore into the department via that arrangement.
