Ministerial decision about Grainville Cottage (FOI)

Request

I would like to request to see any reports accompanying the ministerial decision MD-PH-2013-0034 detailing financial implications.

Response

The report relating to ministerial decision MD-PH-2013-0034 is exempt from publication under clause 3.2.1 (a)(i) of the Code of Practice on Access to Official Information.

The code has since been replaced by the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 and the information you have requested is exempt under Article 25 (Personal Information).

This document does not contain any financial implications as the rental agreed was slightly higher than that shown in a fair rental assessment of similar properties that was carried out by the housing department at the time. 

It was also agreed that periodical rental reviews would be carried out.
