Treasury Minister Terry Le Sueur wants to change the law to allow departments to overspend and pay themselves back the following year. He says that the current rules – whereby any overspending, however small, has to be approved by the States – is often a waste of time and it would be easier to deal with it ‘in house’. Senator Le Sueur has made the proposals as part of a review of the Public Finance (Jersey) Law 2005 which governs how the States spend their money.
