WQ.35/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 31st JANUARY 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 7th FEBRUARY 2022
Question
"Will the Chief Minister advise whether, during proceedings and deliberations of the Government, any Minister or Assistant Minister has declared as an interest that they hold investments in any of the existing or proposed cannabis production firms in the Island, or by indirect means such as owning land on which cannabis will be grown or processed; and, if such declarations have taken place, will the Chief Minister state when and by whom they were made?"
Answer
As the Deputy will be aware, all Members are required to fill out and maintain a declaration of interests form which is publicly accessible on the States Assembly website.
In addition, Ministers and Assistant Ministers are required to draw their colleagues' attention to the relevant interest in the event that it is discussed or raised at the Council of Ministers.
The subject of medicinal cannabis production has been raised at the Council of Ministers on a number of occasions and I can confirm that no Minister has declared an interest during these deliberations.
