Council of Ministers' annual leave since 2024 (FOI)

​Request 701079661

​Can the number of days or weeks be provided for each member of the Council of Ministers who took annual leave since they took office in January 2024?

Response

Ministers are not employees of the Government of Jersey and are not allocated Annual Leave. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.

The following link takes you the Codes of Practice for Ministers and Assistant Ministers which sets out the standards expected of them.
