Response 

A

We have interpreted 'non-Jersey resident' to refer to the tax residency status of our employees. Information is publicly available on www.gov.je in response to a previous Freedom of Information response. Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

B

This information is not currently held by the Government of Jersey. A Scheduled Public Authority (SPA) is not required to manipulate and create new data sets to respond to a request, but to provide the requester with information the SPA holds which has been specifically requested. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies. 

C

This information is not held by the Government of Jersey. The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 gives a right to request information that is held in recorded form, unless exempt. This aspect of the request poses a question rather than seeking information held in recorded form. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

D

Information is publicly available on www.gov.je. Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.
