2.5 Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire of the Chief Minister regarding the proposed new migration law:
Under the proposed new migration law coming to the States in May, will the 10-year qualifying period be replaced with a right for all to purchase a home if Jersey is their place of abode and, if so, what is the timescale for that to be enacted?
Senator T.A. Le Sueur (The Chief Minister):
No, it will not. The 10-year qualification will remain. A person will need to complete at least 10 years' residence before being able to buy a home as of right.
Deputy P.V.F. Le Claire:
I thank the Chief Minister for his answer.
