The Panel identified further people whom the Scrutiny Officer was requested to contact to ascertain whether they could assist the Panel. The Panel was advised that requests for written submissions had been sent to stakeholders and that more were due to be despatched. It was noted that background documentation had been received from the Chief Minister's Department which had been circulated to the Panel by e-mail and which would also be circulated in hard copy. Consideration was given to Housing Affordability in Jersey 2002 – 2011 and to Jersey House Price Index Third Quarter 2012, both of which had been published by the Statistics Unit and which the Panel had received as part of the background material from the Chief Minister's Department. It was agreed that it would be beneficial to receive a briefing from the Statistics Unit on the documents and the Scrutiny Officer was therefore requested to ascertain whether the briefing could take place at the Panel's meeting on 6th February 2013.
