WQ.376/2021
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITIES
BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2021 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 28th SEPTEMBER 2021
Question
Will the Minister update members on the progress –
- of the investigation into the feasibility of establishing of a digital register of landlords and tenants following the adoption of P.82/2020; and
- in establishing a digital register of the ownership of all commercial and residential property following the adoption of P.93/2020, to be in place by the end of 2021 at the latest?
Answer
As a new Minister, I have remained focused on creation and delivery of the Housing Action Plan, as this issue is foremost among the concerns of Islanders.
At the same time, while both these propositions were directed at the Council of Ministers, I have been tasked with commissioning this work, which needs to be delivered in line with the decisions of the Assembly.
I have therefore asked for a business case to be produced, and a project manager to be appointed before the end of the year.
I accept this is behind the scheduled agreed by the Assembly, and I will now endeavour to ensure this works progresses apace.
