The constable of St Helier says it's a misunderstanding that St Helier would be the main beneficiary of the States paying rates.

It comes as Jersey's parish constables said they won't support plans for government buildings to be no longer exempt from the annual charges.

The constables' committee has written to the treasury minister, who earlier this year said he'd honour commitments already given to pay rates on government properties in the parishes.

St Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft said that "St Saviour, for example, stands to benefit around £150,000 a year", and that all the parishes would benefit.

He said that, if it does not go ahead, "it's not just St Helier that suffers, it's rate-payers across all the parishes".

Guernsey's harbour will be redeveloped and a number of partners for the project are emerging.

The message was contained in Deputy Gavin St Pier's address to last night's Institute of Directors debate, when he said transforming the eastern seaboard was a top priority for the States.

He said there was a clear plan of action for the development, and the States had already begun delivering.

But, to be successful, it had to be a partnership between government, the community and the private sector, he added.

Jersey's footballers could still play at European level following a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling.

There has been debate about whether the island can be counted as an independent nation in order to join UEFA.

The court said the Jersey FA's bid needed to at least be put to members at its congress before a final decision is made.

But it added that, as far as it was concerned, Jersey didn't meet the criteria of an independence.

The Bailiwick of Guernsey needs to be ready for whatever Brexit throws at it - such trade deals, the movement of people, and immigration and citizenship rights.

That's broadly what the Policy and Resources Committee is looking to achieve in its Brexit policy letter, which will be debated and decided in the coming months.

The proposals also contain a letter from Her Majesty's Procureur, Megan Pullham QC, who warns a considerable number of new laws will be needed to deal with trade, customs, and travel.
