The States of Guernsey Annual Budget for 2026

Motion put to the States: 18. To approve provision within the 2026 Budget for a transfer from the General Reserve to Guernsey Ports to fund its 2026 cash requirements estimated at £2.2m.

Voting Contre delivers this

Approving a £2.2m transfer to Guernsey Ports to fund its 2026 cash requirements represents subsidising a trading entity, bearing on the promise to stop subsidising inefficient organisations.

Why this counts against the promise: Deputy Bruno Kay-Mouat promised to stop subsidising organisations that have no accountability for losses, yet on 5 November 2025 he voted Pour on a motion to transfer approximately £2.2 million from the General Reserve to Guernsey Ports to fund its 2026 cash requirements, a vote that works directly against that commitment.

The States of Guernsey Annual Budget for 2026

Motion put to the States: To delete proposition 20 and replace with the following proposition: “20. To approve Committee Net Expenditure for 2026 totalling £650.55m as set out in the following table: Service Area 2026 Revenue Cash Limit (£’000s) Corporate Services 89,649 Economic Development 12,740 Education, Sport & Culture 97,893 Employment & Social Security 88,717 Environment & Infrastructure 16,451 Health & Social Care 252,705 Home Affairs 43,118 Housing 8,466 Policy & Resources 16,725 Scrutiny Management Committee 626 States’ Assembly & Constitution Committee 85 Development & Planning 1,343 Overseas Aid & Development 5,026 Royal Court 2,732 Law Officers 7,784 Pooled Budgets 1,009 Budget Reserve including GWP initiatives 6,320 Savings to be Delivered (2,500) Total Committee Net Expenditure 650,549''

Proposition 4

Motion put to the States: 4. To approve the inclusion in the delivery stage of the Guernsey Dairy Essential Works project with a funding envelope of up to £6.0m; and to note that the States' Trading Supervisory Board will bring forward a separate policy letter, requesting approval for the inclusion in the delivery stage of the QEII Marina Gates Replacement project.

Voting Contre delivers this

Proposition 4 approves inclusion of QEII Marina Gates in the delivery stage of the Major Projects Portfolio, advancing the harbour capital project the promise opposes.

Why this counts against the promise: Deputy Bruno Kay-Mouat had promised voters to oppose vanity capital projects such as new harbours or moving the power station in the current economic climate, yet on 22 April 2026 he voted Pour on a motion that included approving up to £6.0m for the Guernsey Dairy Essential Works project and noted the forthcoming approval request for the QEII Marina Gates Replacement project, a vote that worked against delivering his stated commitment to halt such capital expenditure.

Proposition 2

Motion put to the States: 2. To delegate authority to the Policy & Resources Committee to approve funding of up to £24 million from the General Revenue Reserve, subject to approval of an appropriately detailed business case for the rehabilitation of the Alderney runway, based on the design outlined in section 5. View this proposition's information page on gov.gg

Proposition 1b

Motion put to the States: b. (i) the Goods & Services Tax should be applied at a standard rate of 5%, andthat all foodstuffs should be subject to the tax at the standard rate; AND (ii)an Essentials Cost Relief Payment scheme should be implemented as outlined in Section 4, with the fixed payment set provisionally (subject to review as set out below) at £520 a year for a single adult or £860 a year for a couple, reflecting the estimated annual GST incurred by a household on Income Support; and that the responsibility and administering of this payment should be added to the mandate of the Committee for Employment & Social Security; and that the payment should be increased each January in line with Income Support rates, the value of the payment being fully reviewed in line with the minimum income standard whenever that exercise is repeated;

Voting Contre delivers this

Approving GST at 5% advances a new tax rather than first exhausting alternative revenue streams as the promise commits to.
