WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER

BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd OCTOBER 2012

Question

Would the Chief Minister advise whether he has received a briefing regarding a child abduction from Jersey in 2005 and the subsequent court cases in Norway, and, if so, would he advise what action, if any, he intends to take?

Answer

I can advise that I have been made aware of this issue. I have asked the Attorney General, as protector of the public interest in Jersey, to advise on this matter and will discuss with the Assistant Chief Minister for External Affairs what action, if any, might be taken, including any representations to the appropriate authorities.

In the meantime, it would not be appropriate for me as Chief Minister to comment on court cases in Norway.
