Consolidated Fund: Re-phasing of unspent capital budgets

Information about the publication of Ministerial Decisions

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Subject: Proposed measures to manage the Consolidated Fund unallocated balance by the rephasing of unspent capital budget approvals in 2014 to 2015 and 2016.
Decision(s): The Chief Minister approved a rephasing request for the Chief Minister’s (CMD) capital heads of expenditure (as detailed in the table in the attached report) to decrease by £3,758,000 in 2014 to reflect the amount not required in the current year. The same amount will be reallocated into future years budgets (2015 and 2016) by the States as part of the Capital Programme in order to more appropriately reflect the timing of the project expenditure required to progress to completion.
Reason(s) for Decision: Article 18(1)(c) of the Public Finances (Jersey) 2005 states that all or any part of the amount appropriated by a head of expenditure may, with the approval of the Minister for Treasury and Resources, be used for the purposes of another head of expenditure.
Resource Implications: The CMD capital heads of expenditure to decrease by £3,758,000 in 2014 (as detailed in the table in the attached report) and the Consolidated Fund to increase by an identical amount and the capital heads of expenditure to increase by £320,000 in 2015 and £3,438,000 in 2016 and the Consolidated Fund to decrease by identical amounts.
Action required: Research and Project Officer to notify the Finance Manager – Corporate Group that this decision has been approved in order to source the approval from the Treasury and Resources Minister.
