WQ.27/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE DEAN OF JERSEY
BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST BRELADE QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st JANUARY 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th FEBRUARY 2022
Question
“Given the appointment of a new Bishop to the Diocese of Salisbury, will the Dean advise the Assembly when the Channel Islands will formally become part of this Diocese and what implications, if any, there are for the Assembly of this development?”
Answer
The new Bishop of Salisbury will be consecrated as a Bishop on 25th April 2022 and enthroned as the Bishop of Salisbury in the summer of 2022, the date of which is yet to be confirmed. The Channel Islands will only formally and legally ‘be attached’ to the Diocese of Salisbury, once the legislation to that effect contained in p.12/2022 (a) and (b) are approved by the States of Jersey and the request to Her Majesty in Council for the making of an Order in Council providing for the attachment of Jersey to the Diocese of Salisbury and the transfer of all such jurisdictions from the Bishop of Winchester in relation to Jersey to the Bishop of Salisbury (whomsoever that shall be at the time), is granted by Majesty.
Should the States approve P.12/2022 and her Majesty grant an Order in Council, this will come into force on the day on which it is registered by the Royal Court of Jersey. There are no implications for the Assembly.
