Response

No such register is held by the States of Jersey and consequently the information you have requested is not held.

You may find some information of interest in the 2011 Jersey census which can be found at the following link:

Information about staff accommodation is not kept as a record in the manner in which your request implies and under the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011, the public authority is not obliged to create new data for the purposes of a request.

No single register of staff accommodation is held and to draw together all the elements required to respond to the second part of your request would exceed the 12.5 hour time limit prescribed by the law.
