Locate Jersey (FOI)

Request

I have been trying to find the full formation, set up arrangements and ongoing documentation, management and procedures on the Locate Jersey Department within the States website but have sadly failed.

Please can you advise where I may find all information on Locate Jersey, in particular relating to IIK or whatever their present classification is?

Response

Locate Jersey does not exist as a separate legal entity. It is part of the Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture Department of the States of Jersey.
