​Request

On 30 April 2021, the commissioner for standards issued a report into an investigation he had carried out into Senator Kristina Moore.

The report references an initial letter of complaint made by the Chief Minister and a 22-page response from Senator Moore. However, neither is attached to the appendices of the commissioner's report.

Please release both the Chief Minister's letter and Senator Moore's response.

Response

The information is exempt from disclosure as it is already in the public domain.

The Privileges and Procedures Committee has presented the two items of correspondence to the States as an appendix to the report of the Commissioner for Standards.

Article 23 Information accessible to applicant by other means

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it is reasonably available to the applicant, otherwise than under this Law, whether or not free of charge.

(2) A scheduled public authority that refuses an application for information on this ground must make reasonable efforts to inform the applicant where the applicant may obtain the information.

This response has been issued on behalf of the States Greffe. The States Greffe is responsible for the information held by (and on behalf of) both itself and the States Assembly. Neither the States Assembly nor the States Greffe form part of the Government of Jersey and the Government was not involved either in the examination and retrieval of any information required for this response, nor in the drafting of the response itself.
