Finance Centre buildings (FOI)

​Request

Now that there are 3 finance centre buildings completed;

How many new companies to Jersey, have these buildings attracted?

And, what proportion of floor space do they occupy?

Response

It should be noted that the Finance Centres were developed and let by the Jersey Development Company (SoJDC).

The Government of Jersey does not hold the requested information; therefore Article 10 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies. 

However, the linked written question WQ.97/2024 provides comment on some of the information requested, therefore Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
