Jersey’s Housing Minister will join a panel of property professionals, housing providers and a political rival at a live event next week, exploring whether the island is still in the midst of a housing crisis and, if so, what needs to be done to resolve it.

The event, which is sponsored by prime property lending experts Tenn Capital, will be chaired by Bailiwick Express and Connect editor Fiona Potigny and follow a Question Time-style format, with the discussion driven by questions submitted by the public.

Ahead of the event, we put five quick-fire questions to Michael Van Neste MBE.
