Jersey's chief minister could earn an extra £15,000 a year if States members agree to changes put forward by the body which sets their pay.

The board has looked at the way politicians are paid. As well as recommending they should all get £50,000 a year by 2022, compared to £46,500 at the moment, it said those who had more responsibility should get extra.

Currently, all States members receive the same remuneration "irrespective of the category of member or the position they hold".

The chief minister could get £15,000 more, while ministers and scrutiny leaders could get an extra £7,500.

Those increases would have to be agreed by all members because they would involve a change to the law that said island politicians should be paid the same.

UK hotel chain Travelodge wants to expand to Guernsey as part of a £165m coastal plan.

Bosses said were highlighting the island as a "key area for development" and a new hotel would create 25 jobs on the island.

It follows the announcement earlier this year that rival chain Premier Inn obtained planning permission for a 100-bed hotel as part of a £35m development at Admiral Park. It is expected to be completed by December 2021.

Motorists in Guernsey will be unfairly used to add the States' general revenue, according to the head of the Guernsey Motor Trade Association.

Deputies agreed in principle on Thursday to introduce a road tax based on how far peopled travelled, as well as resolving to leave fuel duty uncapped for the next two years.

Robert Cornelius said there needed to be "consistency" in the proposed policy.

"It just constantly seems to be that the motorist is funding a lot of things, other than just roads and infrastructure, and I don't know if that's correct," he added.

The Policy and Resources Committee has been tasked with putting together a policy proposal for how the tax would function.
