Les Quennevais Park Flats Loan Scheme: Revised Terms: Amendment

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision and reason for the decision: The Minister decided to lodge ‘au Greffe’ an amendment to the proposition P.71 asking the States Assembly to refer to their Act of 22nd April 2021, in which they varied the purpose and terms of the 99-Year Leaseholders Fund to enable monies to be lent from the fund to individual property owners for the repair of balconies in blocks A to H, Les Quennevais Flats, and to vary the terms of such loans to allow for an extension of the loan period to up to 15 years. It also reduces the interest rate to 1%

 

Resource implications: The total amount to be made available for loans to property owners will be up to £700,000. The conditions that will be attached to the loans are set out in the Report. The loans will be managed by the Treasury and Exchequer Investment Management Team as part of their day-to-day activity.

 

Action required: Senior Policy Officer to request the Greffier of the States to lodge the Report and Proposition ‘au Greffe’ for debate by the States Assembly at the sitting on 20th July 2021.
