Contribution to the UK?

(1/2) > >>

Dundee:
I suggest that the funding for the TA which is our defence contribution is abandoned unless the health agreement is reinstated, or the money paid for the TA put into a health insurance scheme that would partly cover those Islanders in the UK.

I am sure if such a thing was suggested to the UK defence Ministry they might support the health agreement being replaced.  ;D

We could then either sell or use the land that the TA use, perhaps a land swap with Plemont?

Fritz:
I think the T.A. should be re-located to England. The Three bars could then be used to turn a profit if opened to the general public.

man in the street:
good idea , dundee, do you know how much we the taxpayer give them?
 if i am correct the ta was created, shortly after some said we had money coming out of our ears.

Chevalier Blanc:
The TA started after Jersey gave £5,000,000 to the Falklands Islands after the war to rebuilt there town. There is a housing estate named after Jersey.
So the British Government jumped up and asked that we should give them so much money for defending these Islands in the future. One idea was to give the British 2% of our net money each year but instead the States decideded to have a TA Unit in Jersey and that was accepted and the yearly amount of money spent on the TA would be half a million pound. Now what is it costing ? Somewhere in the 6 million.?

Spot on. I didnt know there were three bars up there! Thought there was one for 'officers' and another for 'the men'. What's the third one for Fritz? Or dare I not ask?
