Guernsey politicians could reduce sale restrictions

Fewer restrictions could be placed on the sale of historic buildings owned by Guernsey's government.

Treasury and Resources must currently ask the States permission to sell or lease a historic building for more than 21 years.

It wants to be able to make the decision on buildings it believes are not important enough to warrant a full States report.

The matter is due to be debated by States deputies.

If agreed, Treasury and Resources and the Environment Department could then decide when this is the case.
