Funding for Jersey's discrimination laws could be removed under plans for States departments to save money.

The Home Affairs Minister, Senator Ian Le Marquand, has proposed the cut in a bid to reduce spending by 2%.

He told the States he did not see the sense in introducing legislation and setting up a tribunal for funding not to continue after a year.

The scrutiny panel which looks at the department says it wants other money-saving alternatives to be considered.
