How Jersey plans to save £145 million

States members in Jersey will begin debating how to make hundreds of millions of pounds worth of cuts today.

Fifteen amendments to their plan to save £145m have been put forward.

A large part of those savings are proposed to come from cuts and taxes, including reducing the public sector wage bill by £70 million.

That will lead to pay freezes, job losses and outsourcing.

Hundreds of public sector workers protested against the measures at the weekend.

How savings will be made

The Christmas bonus for pensioners and free TV licences for over 75s are planned to be axed.
