Response

The States Greffe has undertaken a search of the former Committee minutes which it holds, but it has not been able to identify relevant information to provide a response to Parts one to seven of the request. Information is therefore not held and Article 10 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law applies. 

The response, as per link below, to a previous Freedom of Information request addresses Part eight of this current request. As the information requested is accessible by other means, Article 23 of the Freedom of Information(Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
