HISTORICAL CHILD ABUSE: REQUEST TO COUNCIL OF MINISTERS (P.19/2011) – AMENDMENT

(P.19/2011 Amd.) – COMMENTS

COMMENTS

The Deputy of St. Martin 's amendment serves only to strengthen the views of the Minister for Treasury and Resources expressed above by making the potential cost larger. No funding for a potential Committee of Inquiry was ever "set aside" as the Deputy contends. It was always envisaged that any funding for such a course of action would need to be sought specifically and separately from the States if necessary. The £11.75 million previously approved by the States in P.91/2008 and P.83/2009 has been exhausted, with £346,000 recently returned to the Consolidated Fund following the formal closure of the Inquiry.
