Staffing permissions removed (FOI)

Produced by the Freedom of Information office
Authored by States of Jersey and published on 03 May 2017.

​Request

Could you please confirm the exact number of work licences and category of work licences, that have been removed in 2017 up to Monday 24 April 2017?

Also please list the sector from which these licences have been removed.

Response

Each quarter we publish data on staffing permissions that have been requested, granted, refused and removed. The information for the first quarter of 2017 (January to March) can be found on the following link:

Population Office figures for January to March 2017

For the purposes of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 the information requested for the first quarter of 2017 is therefore exempt under Article 23 of the law as it is accessible by other means.

The information for the second quarter of 2017 will be published in the first two weeks of July 2017 online and in the same location as existing published data.

It is therefore exempt under Article 36 of the law as it is intended for future publication.
