WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th JULY 2008

Question

Would the Minister describe the role of the Migration Advisory Panel in the granting of permissions to 1(1)(k) residents to reside in the Island?

Answer

The Migration Advisory Group exists to steer the new migration policies, and in the interim seeks to ensure consistency in the application and development of the existing Housing (Jersey) Law, 1949, and Regulation of Undertakings and Developments (Jersey) Law, 1973.

The Housing Minister is wholly responsible for the exercise of powers and duties under the Housing (Jersey) Law, 1949, including those in relation to the granting of consent to purchase or lease property, whether under Regulation 1(1)(k) or any other provision.
