Response

For those Government of Jersey schools that were able to check a central system, none of the schools currently hold or have on order any of the above-mentioned books. 

Please note that not all Government of Jersey schools have a central library nor a central library system in order to cross reference all books against the list provided. The department has determined that to provide a full list of specific books would involve manually checking each book title and or book description. To produce the data would take in excess of 12.5 working hours therefore Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

Article applied

Article 16 - A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive

(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations. ​
