WQ.344/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO
THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 18th SEPTEMBER 2023
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 25th SEPTEMBER 2023
Question
“Will the Minister advise what discussions, if any, have taken place between his department, Jersey Post and the Channel Island Cooperative Society regarding the closure of post offices within certain stores; and whether any impact assessment of these closures has been undertaken by the Minister?”
Answer
The Government’s relationship with Jersey Post is managed via the Minister for Treasury and Resources and the Department for Treasury and Exchequer. Jersey Post has kept the Department for Treasury and Exchequer updated during its discussions with the Cooperative Society and full assessments for each branch were undertaken by Jersey Post, the Department for the Economy was not involved in these discussions. Jersey Post’s assessments identified minimal impact due to low transaction levels and close proximity to other branches.
