Ministerial Decision Report
Presentation to the States of THE Accounts of Organisations that Received a Grant of Over £100,000 IN 2011
1. Purpose of Report
To present to the States the 2011 accounts of organisations that received a grant of over £100,000 from the States of Jersey in 2011.
2. Background
The accounts of organisations that received a grant of over £100,000 from the States of Jersey in 2011 that are available for publication as a report to the States are listed in Appendix A. Further details on these and other significant grants are shown in Note 35 ‘Grants’ to the States of Jersey 2011 Financial Report and Accounts.
Exempt accounts
Under Financial Direction 5.5 ‘Management of Grants’ an organisation may request exemption from the publication of its accounts to the States where to do so would disadvantage the organisation’s commercial interests, or breach confidentiality agreements, Codes of Practice (e.g. A Code of Practice on access to Information held by the States, Committees of the States and Departments of the States, June 2004) or legislation (e.g. Data Protection Legislation).
The Jersey Royal Company has claimed an exemption[1] and therefore its 2011 Accounts will not be made available.
Prior presentation to the States
In accordance with relevant legislation, the following organisations have already presented their 2011 Annual Report and Accounts to the States:
Grant Receiving Organisation | Grant Amount £ | Reason for exemption |
Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority | 300,000 | R.77/2012 |
The Jersey Gambling Commission | 119,000 | R.92/2012 |
Total | £419,000 | |
Note: The 2011 Accounts for the Jersey International Air Display, who received a grant of £90,000, were received on 7 May 2013.
3. Recommendation
It is recommended that the Minister request the Greffier of the States to present to the States the 2011 accounts of organisations listed in Appendix A that received a grant of over £100,000 from the States of Jersey in 2011.
4. Reason for Decision
During the 2009 Annual Business Plan debate (P.117/2009), Amendment No. 4 was adopted (as amended). P.117/2009: Amd (4), Paragraph 2 section (i) (as amended) stated that:
‘All organisations receiving grants from the States submit their accounts to be published as a report to the States; subject to a de minimis limit…except where to do so would breach confidentiality agreements, Codes of Practice or legislation such as Data Protection legislation’.
N.B. The de minimis limit originally set has since been changed following discussions between the proposer and the Treasury and Resources Department.
- Resource Implications
There are no financial or manpower implications as a result of this decision.
