Response

The Government of Jersey does not maintain a list of meetings held between the Minister for Infrastructure and Connétable of St Helier, therefore this information is not held and Article 10 of the Freedom of information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

The systems are not configured in a way that will allow us to extract the details you have requested. A manual search of our records would be required in order to obtain this information.

It has been estimated that to provide the information requested would exceed the 12.5 hours allowed for Freedom of Information responses in accordance with Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014. Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied and your request will not be processed further.

It should be noted that many of the meetings between the requested parties are informal, and Minutes were not taken.
