Request

I would like to know which States Members have a vested interest in local 'Buy to Let' properties in Jersey either directly or indirectly through their Partners as at 1 January 2021.

Response

The information is exempt from disclosure as it is already in the public domain.

In accordance with Paragraph 7 of Schedule 2 to the Standing Orders of the States of Jersey, elected States Members are obliged to declare any land which they (or their spouse, civil partner or cohabitee) own or jointly own (including any land owned on their behalf) or land from which they derive an income. This obligation does not include declaring any land owned as their principal place of residence.

Any such declarations are included in Section 7 of the statement of interests made by all elected States Members. These statements of interests may be accessed on the dedicated webpage for each Member through the Members’ Page on the States Assembly website. 

Article applied

Article 23 Information accessible to applicant by other means

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it is reasonably available to the applicant, otherwise than under this Law, whether or not free of charge.

(2) A scheduled public authority that refuses an application for information on this ground must make reasonable efforts to inform the applicant where the applicant may obtain the information.

This response has been issued on behalf of the States Greffe. The States Greffe is responsible for the information held by (and on behalf of) both itself and the States Assembly. Neither the States Assembly nor the States Greffe form part of the Government of Jersey and the Government was not involved either in the examination and retrieval of any information required for this response, nor in the drafting of the response itself
