States members' business interests could hit web

Finding out about the business interests of States members in Jersey could soon become easier.

At the moment they have to fill in a book listing any property they own, directorships and other financial interests. But, if you want to look at it you have to go to the States Greffe.

Deputy Bob Hill now wants the 'book of interests' put on the web.

It has been suggested before, but was rejected for 'security reasons'.

Deputy Hill has called this ridiculous. He says if the public can inspect the book, surely the details can go on the internet. (from CTV)
