Request
During a cannabis coordination meeting via Microsoft Teams on Monday 21 June 2021, the Head of Biosecurity noted that Deputy Farnham had raised a potential conflict in a letter to scrutiny, namely the Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel, which was undertaking a review into the industry.
Please could you provide a copy of this letter.
Response
Letters written by Ministers to Scrutiny Panels are published in the Scrutiny section of the States Assembly website as linked below:

Any such conflict raised in a letter is therefore already in the public domain and Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.
