Control of Housing and Work (Exemptions) (Amendment) (Jersey) Order 201-

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Explanatory Note

This Order amends the Control of Housing and Work (Exemptions) (Jersey) Order 2013 in respect of the number of Registered persons who may be disregarded by an undertaking for the purpose of complying with the undertaking’s business licence. Under Article 27(1) of the Control of Housing and Work (Jersey) Law 2012 (“Law”), the maximum number of Registered or Licensed persons who can be employed by an undertaking is specified as a condition of the undertaking’s business licence. Article 27(3) of the Law allows the Minister to prescribe descriptions of individual who may be disregarded for the purpose of complying with this condition. The Control of Housing and Work (Exemptions) (Jersey) Order 2013 prescribes several descriptions of individual who may be disregarded for this purpose.

Article 1 of this Order adds 2 further descriptions of individual who may be disregarded. The first refers to any Registered person who has been ordinarily and continuously resident in Jersey for a period of less than 5 years, provided such period commenced whilst the person was of compulsory school age (that is, broadly, 16 years of age or less) and who has a parent who is Entitled, Entitled for Work Only or Licensed.

The second refers to any Registered person who has been ordinarily and continuously resident in Jersey for less than 5 years and who has a parent who is Entitled, Entitled for Work Only or Licensed. The period of residence must have commenced before 1st July 2013 and, immediately before that date, the person must have been locally qualified under Regulation 2(2)(d) of the Regulation of Undertakings and Development (Jersey) Regulations 1978. Regulation 2(2)(d) refers to a person aged under 18, or, if a student, aged under 25, and who is a child of a locally qualified person.

Once a Registered person has been ordinarily and continuously resident in Jersey for a period of 5 years the person acquires Entitled for Work Only status under the Control of Housing and Work (Residential and Employment Status) (Jersey) Regulations 2013.

Article 2 sets out the title of the Order and provides that it shall come into force forthwith.
