WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st OCTOBER 2008

Question

Can the Chief Minister confirm whether the contractor on Liberty Wharf, Deerglen (Jersey) has had an adjudication awarded against the company to the amount of £146,000 owed to AKL (Air Conditioning Kent) Ltd now lodged in the High Court, Holborn and, if so, will he consider an investigation into the tender processes and contractual arrangements made by Harcourt on this project?

Answer

The matter to which the Deputy refers concerns legal action between two private companies relating to a commercial transaction. Consequently, it is not an issue which warrants the involvement or comment of the Chief Minister.
