Guernsey eyes Alderney's e-gaming cash

Posted Tue 6th November 2012 at 17:40

Guernsey's treasury department is keen to extract a chunk of Alderney's Gambling Commission cash.

Treasury and Resources minister Gavin St Pier wrote to the States of Alderney discussing the possibility of skimming off some of the money raised through the issuing of licences by Alderney Gambling and Control Commission. The letter, read out at last month's Policy & Finance Committee, was described by Guernsey Rep Paul Arditt as "ill-judged, ill-timed and insensitive".

Currently, all of Alderney's Capital Budget comes from AGCC revenue and the money funds the island's major infrastructure projects, such as the ongoing upgrade to the water system. In 2012 the AGCC funnelled £2,390 to the States of Alderney and in 2013 the figure is put at £2,250,000. Next year £1,353 of that is earmarked for the harbour work, including the revetment rebuild and a replacement harbour office.

Not surprisingly the issue met with zero support from Alderney States members.

Alderney Representative Paul Arditti said: "This letter from T&R is an aberration and is probably best explained by the fact that the Minister and his board are new, and that they recently managed to lose their long-standing and very experienced Chief Officer. The letter is ill-judged, ill-timed, insensitive, and irrelevant."
