Jerriais amendment funding 'not necessary'
Ryan Morrison
BBC News Online
Economic development minister, Senator Lyndon Farnham, said the £30,000 funding for Jerriais proposed in the medium term financial plan was not necessary as his department had already found more money than that.
Responsibility for Jerriais was transferred from Education to Economic Development including the £147,000 budget, which was £30,000 less than the previous year due to cuts. Deputy Tadier wants that money returned and transferred from education to economic development.
Senator Farnham said he had already found much more than £30,000 and so if the amendment was successful the money would come from education rather than economic development, which he said would be a mistake as education needs all of its budget.
