JUST 10 States members turned up for incinerator proposer Suez’s presentation to politicians yesterday.

All members were invited to a meeting at the OGH Hotel where deputies had the chance to put questions to company representatives. Another is being held today.

Deputy Jane Stephens was one of those who attended and said she was convinced Suez had offered the best solution for Guernsey.

‘I think the vote last month was a very big mistake. This week, we have an opportunity to put it right.’

Deputy Mike Hadley agreed and said Suez could already offer many of the solutions being put forward by environmentalists but they might not be suitable for the island.

However, many of the deputies the company needs to convince, if its proposals are to be reinstated in the States this week, said they would not attend the briefings.
