Dear Minister,

Jersey Post and Supply Chain Resilience

The Panel has recently been discussing supply chain resilience and note this could potentially be impacted upon by the mail service provision by Jersey Post. We are therefore writing to gain your views following the reported fall in shareholder value of Jersey Post from your position as shareholder representative to Jersey Post International Limited.

The Panel would appreciate an outline of your policy for funding support for Jersey Post having identified a fall the shareholding value seen in the States of Jersey Group 2022 Annual Report and Accounts. We would also value your identification of the challenging conditions faced by Jersey Post that appear to be reflected in those reports and accounts, including if these relate to any investments or activities by Jersey Post that are driven by government's economic policy and/or to competition difficulties in areas of the supply chain within which Jersey Post and any subsidiaries or businesses owned by it are operating.

We would be grateful if you could respond to this no later than Monday 12th June 2023 in line with the 5 working days approved for responses between Scrutiny Panels and Ministers.

If you have any questions regarding this or our work in general, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please note that unless otherwise stated, all letters will be uploaded to the Scrutiny website as a matter of course.

Yours sincerely,

Deputy Moz Scott

Chair
