Student quizzes politician on independence

BBC News Online
Jersey's external affairs minister has been quizzed on whether the Channel Islands could sever their constitutional ties with Britain.
In reply, Senator Ian Gorst said: "At present no consideration is being given to altering our fundamental constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom, or in creating an independent Channel Island state."
The right to self-government and judicial independence were guaranteed under the current relationship, he added.
Senator Gorst also said the UK "does not legislate for the island without our consent."

Constable Richard Buchanan, from the States Employment Board, said he was disappointed at the strike and that teachers could not expect to get more than other public sector workers.
Many Jersey politicians attended the protest in support.
Deputy Rob Ward said more money should be released to pay the teachers more, adding: "We keep saying we value our staff, now we need to actually show it."
As the deadlock continues, another teacher strike is expected next Tuesday.

Jersey teacher pay row: 'A challenge' for government
BBC Radio Jersey
The board which sets the pay for Jersey's civil servants maintains it has made fair offers to teachers - despite schools being forced to close on Tuesday because they went on strike.
Union members said they were unhappy with the latest offer, which would see them getting 1.3% plus the cost of living this year.
Constable Richard Buchanan, from the States Employment Board, said he was "disappointed" at the strike and said teachers could not expect to get more than workers elsewhere.

Quote Message: It's unusual for workers in the private sector to get inflation every year as a pay rise. Companies that operate in the private sector need to keep their costs down to remain competitive. Obviously in the public sector it's different because you're not in a business. It is a challenge for the government to give inflation pay rises every year." from Constable Richard Buchanan States Employment Board

Student quizzes politician on independence
Rob Byrne
BBC News Online
Jersey's external affairs minister has been quizzed on whether the Channel Islands could sever their constitutional ties with Britain.
De La Salle College's James Dunne asked the question at Tuesday afternoon's Youth Assembly.
In reply, Senator Ian Gorst said: "At present no consideration is being given to altering our fundamental constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom, or in creating an independent Channel Island state."
The right to self-government and judicial independence were guaranteed under the current relationship, he added.
Senator Gorst also said the UK "does not legislate for the island without our consent."
That position is currently being tested in the House of Commons, where UK MPs will be asked to back an amendment forcing greater financial transparency on Crown Dependencies.

Islanders urged to get international driving licence
BBC Radio Jersey
Drivers in Jersey are being advised to get an international driving licence and motor insurance for Europe - whatever happens with Brexit.
If the UK leaves the EU on 29 March without a deal, people will need to have a green card - which is an international certificate of insurance.
It guarantees drivers third-party motor insurance cover for driving in Europe, but will not necessarily match the level of cover a person has at home.
Motorists should check with their insurer to find out what level of cover they could get, officials said.
