WQ.273/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY H.M. MILES OF ST. BRELADE QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 16th SEPTEMBER 2024
Question
"Will the Chief Minister state how many individuals are currently in receipt of a salary or remuneration paid from public funds, via any legal or administrative structure, but who are not ordinarily resident in Jersey; and will he provide a breakdown of any such individuals by department, and grade or salary/remuneration band?"
Answer
All employees of the States Employment Board should be resident or ordinarily resident in Jersey.
One notable exception relates to the Island's representation overseas, which is important in maintaining both political and commercial links, on which many of our industries rely. A small team of External Relations staff are based off-island and in two cases the service is shared with the government of Guernsey.
The overseas offices promote our external interests, and each has a legal entity that employs a small number of individuals as follows.
| Government of Jersey London Office | Bureau des Îles Anglo- Normandes (shared with Guernsey) | Channel Islands Brussels Office (shared with Guernsey) |
Grades 5-12 | 6 | Fewer than 5 | Fewer than 5 |
Grades 13 and above | 5 |
There are three other roles relating to specialist staff from the Economy Department, Law Drafters Office and the office of the Director of Civil Aviation.
Public funds are also used to pay a range of other employees who are not resident in the Island, including consultants, agency workers and employees of arm's length organisations and various grant-funded bodies. The Government does not hold information on the residential location of all these individuals.
