Voisin was appearing in front of a quarterly meeting of the Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel.<\/p>\n
He was asked by Deputy Samantha Gleave about how much persuading he had to do when consulting senior colleagues on economic issues.<\/p>\n
A number of ministers sit on the Economic Growth Group, external<\/a>, including the chief minister. <\/p>\n Answering, Voisin revealed there were plans to make it a requirement that any proposition brought before the States contained an economic impact assessment.<\/p>\n He said: “We have all supported the idea of having every States proposition be accompanied by a statement of the impact that that decision will have on the economy.<\/p>\n “That has already gone to the Policy and Procedures Committee for them to consider and, hopefully, we will be launching that proposition.<\/p>\n “That was discussed at the economic growth group and everybody was aligned with that”.<\/p>\n While Voisin insisted that ministers were in agreement on the policy change, he conceded that they do not always agree on the best way to achieve economic growth.<\/p>\n He said: “It’s all very well to agree to a principle of, for example: ‘Lets grow the economy,’ but very often it’s how you’re going to achieve it. <\/p>\n “That’s where people start to disagree”.<\/p>\n Follow BBC Jersey on X, external<\/a>, Facebook, external<\/a> and Instagram, external<\/a>.
