WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
BY DEPUTY L.M.C. DOUBLET OF ST. SAVIOUR
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 15th SEPTEMBER 2025
Question
"In respect of any Government grants to large public events, will the Minister provide a table detailing the total grant paid, and the criteria used for determining the value of those grants allocated, for the last 3 years for each of the following –
- Battle of Flowers;
- Channel Islands Pride;
- Jersey International Air Display;
- Jersey Festival of Words; and
- any other similar sized events?"
Answer
Government grants to large public events are assessed based on the business cases submitted to the Department for the Economy and informed by the post-event reports from previous years (where applicable). They are also dependent on the available budgets and funding capacity of the Department and the ability for the organisation seeking funding to demonstrate that the event supports desirable Island outcomes from the CSP (Common Strategic Policy), Island Outcome Indicators and/or specific published government strategies.
