WQ.29/2022

WRITTEN QUESTION TO

THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st JANUARY 2022

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th FEBRUARY 2022

Question

"Will the Minister advise whether there are any plans to remove the rights of landowners in Jersey to evict lease-holders in cases where the lease has been amended without the landowner's consent, particularly with regard to telecommunications masts and the land they occupy?"

Answer

The question appears to relate to whether Jersey has - or is going to - adopt a code similar to the UK's Electronic Communications Code that regulates the legal relationships between landowners and certain network operators in the UK. The UK's Electronic Communications Code came in to force in the UK in December 2017 replacing the previous code and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport conducted a consultation last year considering amendments to new code.

There are no current plans to put in place a similar code at this time.
