PERSONAL STATEMENT The Bailiff :

We now come to J; Personal Statements and Deputy Le Claire wishes to make a personal statement.

6.   Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire:

Following detailed discussion with the Environment Scrutiny Panel, other States Members, the Connétable of St. Helier and representatives of the agricultural industry, I have decided to withdraw P.258/2005 - "Composting Facilities" - in its current form. I will be establishing a working party to explore fully the opportunities for composting to be undertaken either wholly by or in partnership with the private sector. The working party will include local residents, rural economy businesses and States Members. I still firmly believe that it is wrong for a centralised composting facility to be operated at La Collette and that the environmental and nuisance and health problems that are being caused by the current operation must be addressed urgently. I will report back to the Assembly by lodging a new proposition within one month and before Members are asked to debate P.45/2006 - "Solid Waste Strategy Locations for Proposed Facilities."
