14 January 2021 Dear Chair,

I am writing to inform you that the Government is withdrawing Standing Order 168 "LAND TRANSACTIONS UNDER STANDING ORDER 168(3) – OFFICE ACCOMODATION PROJECT, 31-41 BROAD STREET & 19-29 COMMERCIAL STREET, ST. HELIER – LEASE" at this time, as there has been some last minute and unexpected commercial issues that need to be resolved in advance of entering into a contract. I must stress, these issues are not of the Government's making.

In light of this, I suggest we postpone the proposed Scrutiny meeting we had planned for tomorrow, until these commercial issues are resolved regarding the Office Accommodation Project.

As soon as it is possible to take you through the full details of the project, I will get my office to liaise with your officials to reconvene the meeting at a time that is convenient for our mutual diaries.

Apologies again for this unexpected delay. Kind regards,

Senator John Le Fondré Chief Minister
