WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT

BY DEPUTY J. RENOUF OF ST. BRELADE

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 3rd FEBRUARY 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 10th FEBRUARY 2025

Question

"Will the Minister publish any advice he received from his officers in relation to the Government's decision to increase the minimum wage to the living wage and offer a financial support scheme, along with any related correspondence?"

Answer

Following the adoption, by the States Assembly, of P.98/2021 as amended and the subsequent inclusion of this commitment within the Common Strategic Policy, my officers have worked on economic modelling and the preparation of a support package.

These economic assumptions and the details of the Better Business Support Package were presented to States Members on 11th November 2024, and I have asked that this detail is made available to States Members alongside this Question.
