2. Jersey International Finance Centre

The  Panel  discussed  its  question  plan  for  its  Public  Hearing  the following  week  with  the  Minister  for  Planning  and  Environment.  It agreed that the revised draft should be circulated to the Panel for further consideration.

The Panel considered the current stage of its Review, the challenge of reporting within a constrained timeframe and how it might therefore most effectively progress the Review. It noted the significant public and stakeholders interest in the Review to date, and discussed a number of important matters that had been raised in submissions. It agreed that in the  first  instance  it  would  draft  correspondence  to  the  Minister  for Treasury and Resources reflecting its considerations and requesting his co-operation in ensuring the Panel was afforded appropriate time within which to fulfil its remit and complete the Review accordingly.

The Panel confirmed that it would seek to engage additional technical advice for its Review. It noted that an associated adviser engagement proposal  from  a  potential  adviser  was  due  to  be  received  for  its consideration.
