People born in Guernsey to Guernsey parents could have automatic

:00:12.:00:14.

permanent residential status from next month.

:00:15.:00:17.

A year ago the States voted to bring in new population management laws to

:00:18.:00:20.

There was concern this new regime wouldn't protect the rights

:00:21.:00:25.

And politicians listened, as Emma Chambers reports.

:00:26.:00:42.

These four`year`olds are having fun and building houses but what

:00:43.:00:46.

residential rights they havd two lives in them is now being decided

:00:47.:00:50.

by the government, even thotgh most of these children were born in

:00:51.:00:53.

Guernsey are not considered sending children. That is because under the

:00:54.:01:02.

current housing law they must live on the island for years before being

:01:03.:01:07.

given residential status. It was decided to throw this out and bring

:01:08.:01:10.

in a new system to allow people to become an established residdnt after

:01:11.:01:11.

eight years. Whilst most of the new regile has

:01:12.:01:13.

been approved, there was ond area that caused concern with islanders,

:01:14.:01:16.

which affects young children So now they've proposed thrde

:01:17.:01:19.

improvements Those born in Guernsey who have

:01:20.:01:21.

a parent and grandparent from the island will automatically

:01:22.:01:24.

have local qualifications. If a person is born in Guernsey and

:01:25.:01:29.

their parent has earned qualified status, then they only have to live

:01:30.:01:32.

in Guernsey for 8 years instead of 14 for a right to residency,

:01:33.:01:36.

and babies born to Guernsey people living away from the island,

:01:37.:01:40.

will also only have to live in Guernsey for 8 years due to that

:01:41.:01:43.

close connection. These changes were prompted

:01:44.:01:49.

after mounting pressure. We have listened to public opinion,

:01:50.:02:00.

acknowledged that he can, whthout damaging the integrity of the new

:02:01.:02:05.

system, that we can introduce a new milestone which is the ancestral

:02:06.:02:12.

rate of birth. The group sax that this new system will allow them to

:02:13.:02:15.

monitor the island's population in the long term. It will be ilported

:02:16.:02:19.

at the island can manage its population going forward. Wd can

:02:20.:02:24.

measure and understand exactly who has come to the island and on what

:02:25.:02:29.

basis. He will be able to count and build statistics that will then

:02:30.:02:32.

allow us to make positive strategic decisions going forward.

:02:33.:02:33.

The states will debate these proposals next month.

:02:34.:02:35.

But for these children, they see Guernsey as their home

:02:36.:02:37.

island won't disappear overnight, but it's down to the people of Sark

to find a way to live together. He confirmed the UK government are

:03:02.:03:04.

Of course, there is a continuous communication between civil servants
