Is this a conflict of interest and do civil servants declare their conflicts when dealing with clients and others?

Response

A and C

Any information would be held within individual employee personnel files. It is estimated that to undertake the work required to identify individuals and confirm relevant details would be in excess of the 12.5 hour timescale as prescribed in the Freedom of Information (Costs)(Jersey) Regulations 2014. Therefore Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied. 

B 

The Law Officers Department is not a Scheduled Public Authority and as such is not required to respond under Freedom of Information legislation. 

Furthermore, this part of the request is a statement and not asking for information held.
