Budget New budget / Replacement Budget Replacement posts for Business Lecturers. Four members of staff have left the department within the past 2 years (2 x retirement, 1 x internal transfer, 1 x transfer to another 11-16 school) and only one (Curriculum Manager) has been replaced. The numbers of groups within the department have remained consistent for many years although since 2014 we have the addition of Trackers groups to consider. Group sizes have increased and the area remains amongst the largest post 16 full time area in the College. Staff are well utilised in the team with all staff at hours.

One post within the team is a full time fixed term contract (2 years) which is due to expire 31.08.16. This lecturer is part funded by Trackers and sits within the Business area.

Business Need Lecturers are needed to support the quality delivery of the Business curriculum between levels 1 and 3. This is a growth area and is one of the focus subjects for the Islands 16+ delivery according to very recent Education Department media releases.

The department has a large number of fractional, full time posts and staff servicing in from other areas and to support both curriculum and pastoral delivery a full time colleague plus an additional extension to a current fractional colleague would fulfil the requirements of the shortfall of teaching hours in the department. In recent times there has been a reliance on Visiting Lecturers on fixed term contracts (currently 0.5fte) which in part reduces the consistency of delivery and rigour of quality processes. Visiting Lecturers would still be used to fill the shortfall of around 0.3fte.

Can you please provide the number of computers currently owned, maintained, or used by the States of Jersey which run the operating system Windows XP? Which government departments and how many machines per department (an estimate rounded to the nearest 10 is acceptable)? If any, have the States of Jersey paid for a Custom Support Agreement with Microsoft to keep receiving updates for Windows XP?’

Response

The States of Jersey currently operate 4,972 computers (desktops, laptops, Windows tablets, thin clients and servers (both physical and virtual).

A very limited number of machines are still running Windows XP for operational reasons and are on an active plan to be upgraded. The States has upgraded most of the estate to Windows 7 and 8.1 and is planning on upgrading to Windows 10 in the near future.

Due to the sensitivity of numbers and locations of specific Windows XP machines the further information requested is considered exempt under Article 42 Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011. This exemption has been applied because the information requested could be prejudicial to the prevention of crime. In this instance, it is likely that the disclosure of the information requested could result in an increased risk of e-crime.

Request

Please supply Copies of emails, correspondence and any other documents sent and received by any member of the department within the Treasury and Resources Department to include the Minister in relation to a States of Jersey headed vacating your home Standard void declaration form also include Andium Homes Limited as recipient or sender or any correspondence relating to that form.

Response

The Treasury and Resources department have only one email and a copy of a letter which are relevant to this request which are attached. Andium Homes is a separate legal entity in relation to the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 and it is therefore necessary to request information from them direct.

The personal detail contained in the correspondence has been redacted. Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies - see below.

FOI exemption(s) applied

Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011

Part 4

Absolutely Exempt Information.

25 Personal information

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005.

(2) Information is absolutely exempt information if –

(a) it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is not the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005; and (b) its supply to a member of the public would contravene any of the data protection principles, as defined in that Law.

Justification for exemption(s)

Article 25 Personal information

The personal information cannot be disclosed because its disclosure to a member of the public would contravene one or more of the data protection principles, which are set out in article 1 of schedule 1 to the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005.

As a public authority, the States of Jersey must observe all of the data protection principles when processing personal data. The exemption from the duty to disclose personal data, where to do so would breach a data protection principle, is an absolute exemption, therefore the public interest test in Part 2 of the FOI Law does not apply.

Request

I am writing to request a FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST about ''NIAZI SERVICES LIMITED'' Reg. No.26211 whose beneficial owner was Mr Imran Khan the famous cricketer turned politician from Pakistan. He is head of a political party and a member of the Pakistani Parliament and his party is ruling in one province (KPK) of Pakistan. It is the right of the public to know that the financial matters of their leaders are transparent. I therefore request the following information about his company ''''NIAZI SERVICES LIMITED'' Reg. No.26211" which was registered in Jersey Island in 1983 and was active till October 2015. The certificate of incorporation is attached.

1) A summary of all the tax returns of the company from 1983 to 2015. 2) The amount and of sources of income of the company declared in the tax returns from 1983 to 2015. 3) Dividends paid to the beneficiaries with their names as declared in the tax returns from 1983 to 2015. 4) Any salaries paid to its employees with their names as declared in tax returns from 1983 to 2015.

I am happy to pay any fees if applicable.

Response

The information requested is absolutely exempt information under Article 29 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011, because the disclosure of the information by the Scheduled Public Authority holding it is prohibited by or under an enactment. Article 29 – Other prohibitions or restrictions states that: Information is absolutely exempt information if the disclosure of the information by the scheduled public authority holding it – (a) is prohibited by or under an enactment; (b) is incompatible with a European Union or an international obligation that applies to Jersey; or (c) would constitute or be punishable as a contempt of court. Members of the Income Tax office are prohibited from disclosing information by virtue of Part 3 and Schedule 1 to the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 whereby the Comptroller (and Deputy) and Officers of that department take an Oath of Office before the Royal Court which provides, inter alia, that: “you will not disclose any information which may come to your knowledge in the performance of your duties, except to such persons only as shall act in execution of the

said laws and where it shall be necessary to disclose the same to them for the purposes of the said laws, or in so far as you may be required to disclose the same for the purposes or in the course of a prosecution for an offence against the said laws.”

Request

We require sight of all correspondence and recorded data between the Chief Minister's Office and UK Ministry of Justice, as per my full request contained in the attached PDF: CMO reply 5 July 16.

Response

Various articles under the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 allow a scheduled public authority to refuse a request for information and in this instance, we believe that the following exemptions can be applied to your request:

Article 35 Formulation and development of policies Information is qualified exempt information if it relates to the formulation or development of any proposed policy by a public authority.

Article 41 International relations (1) Information is qualified exempt information if its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice relations between Jersey and – (a) the United Kingdom; (b) a State other than Jersey; (c) an international organization; or (d) an international court.

(2) Information is qualified exempt information if its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice – (a) any Jersey interests abroad; or (b) the promotion or protection by Jersey of any such interest.

(3) Information is also qualified exempt information if it is confidential information obtained from – (a) a State other than Jersey; (b) an international organization; or (c) an international court.

(4) In this Article, information obtained from a State, organization or court is confidential while – (a) the terms on which it was obtained require it to be held in confidence; or (b) the circumstances in which it was obtained make it reasonable for the State, organization or court to expect that it will be so held.

(5) In this Article – “international court” means an international court that is not an international organization and that was established – (a) by a resolution of an international organization of which the United Kingdom is a member; or (b) by an international agreement to which the United Kingdom was a party; “international organization” means an international organization whose members include any two or more States, or any organ of such an organization; “State” includes the government of a State and any organ of its government, and references to a State other than Jersey include references to a territory for whose external relations the United Kingdom is formally responsible.

Article 25 Personal information

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005. (2) Information is absolutely exempt information if – (a) it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is not the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005; and (b) its supply to a member of the public would contravene any of the data protection principles, as defined in that Law.

Article 26 Information supplied in confidence Information is absolutely exempt information if – (a) it was obtained by the scheduled public authority from another person (including another public authority); and (b) the disclosure of the information to the public by the scheduled public authority holding it would constitute a breach of confidence actionable by that or any other person.

Article 31 Advice by the Bailiff, Deputy Bailiff or a Law Officer Information is qualified exempt information if it is or relates to the provision of advice by the Bailiff, Deputy Bailiff or the Attorney General or the Solicitor General.

Request

Could you please provide any FOI accessible States email communications that contain the term within them.

Clarification Received

Take the dates from 2008 to date and any emails with the name within communications between the Council of Ministers over that time period.

Response

We have considered your request and regret that we cannot answer your questions on the basis that it exceeds the cost limit provisions set down by Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 (the “Law”).

Under Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011, a scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if the cost of doing so exceeds 12.5 hours. It is estimated that collecting the information requested falls outside this cost time limit and the request is refused.

202-03-

March 2016

Request

In accordance with the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 on public authorities, I would be grateful if you could supply me with the following information in a question of two parts:

1. How many prisoners convicted of fraud have there been in the last five years. 2. How many of these prisoners received ROTL in the last five years.

Response

The authority is unable to provide a response to this request.

In accordance with the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011:

16 A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive (3) Regulations may provide that, in such circumstances as the Regulations prescribe, if two or more requests for information are made to a scheduled public authority – (a) by one person; or (b) by different persons who appear to the scheduled public authority to be acting in concert or in pursuance of a campaign, the estimated cost of complying with any of the requests is to be taken to be the estimated total cost of complying with all of them.

This request is one of a number of similar requests relating to Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL). The Authority considers (on reasonable grounds) that the applicants are working in concert together in pursuance of a campaign.

The cost of complying with these requests (including those to which a response has already been provided) will collectively exceed the cost limit (in excess of 12.5 hours at £40 per hour).

This FOI application requests that I be provided with copies of all internal documents/records created as a result of the investigation into ’, documents/records containing the advice obtained

In that regard, the applicant requests that the personal information is redacted and the remainder of the content of the documents/records can then be provided under the Act.

Response

In relation to your request for information relating to a is not able to release the information requested for the following reasons.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

It is considered that the disclosure of the information requested would breach an individual’s data protection rights and place the Education, Sport and Culture Department (“ESC”) in breach of the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005 (the “Law”). It is considered that ESC would be in breach of the first Principle of Schedule 1 of the Law because none of the conditions for processing set out in Schedule 2 have been met. Condition 6 of Schedule 2 was considered, however it was considered that the disclosure of this information is unwarranted and would amount to prejudicing the legitimate interests of the data subject. The documents both identify and relate to an individual connected to a particular entity. It would not be sufficient to anonymise the information because it is our understanding and belief that you (the Applicant) have certain knowledge that would enable you to identify the individual concerned and the entity. Any further redaction to overcome this would render the information unreadable and irrelevant. Provision of information not relating to the individual would therefore be impossible.

COMMERCIAL INTEREST

The information requested also relates to an entity. It is our understanding that the business conducted by the entity is in the same competitive market as your business. The geographical proximity of the entities setting is a factor for us to consider. Both are functioning in a competitive environment. We consider that providing information like this, out of context, would likely harm the other entity in a disproportionate manner. There are no overriding public interest arguments in favour of disclosing this information.
