Guernsey's air and sea connectivity has seen active government work since Blin took office in July 2025, including the designation of the Guernsey-Jersey route as an essential air route in November 2025 following the collapse of Blue Islands, the licensing of Aurigny to operate it from January 2026, and a £75,000 grant to inter-island ferry operator Islands Unlimited in June 2026. Blin joined the Transport Licensing Authority as a Member in January 2026, giving him a formal role in air route licensing decisions, but the primary policy leadership on air and sea connectivity has been attributed to the Committee for Economic Development (President: Deputy Kazantseva-Miller), with no independent evidence of Blin personally initiating or driving specific measures on this manifesto promise.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictOutstandingmedium confidence
No evidence was found of any action by Deputy Chris Blin — or of any States committee, policy letter, or formal initiative attributable to him — specifically targeting the opening of States contracts to local firms and entrepreneurs since he took office in July 2025. The existing States procurement framework (a 2020 Procurement Policy, still referenced as current on gov.gg as of mid-2026) pre-dates Blin's manifesto promise, and the Government Work Plan 2026-2029 adopted in December 2025 does not appear to include a dedicated local-procurement reform workstream. Blin's recorded parliamentary activity since taking office (per parliament.gg) relates chiefly to offshore wind, procedural amendments, and the Guernsey Civil Aviation Authority, with no evidence of procurement-specific interventions.
Candidate will push for a States-backed housing scheme to unlock capital for housebuilding.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictOutstandingmedium confidence
No evidence was found that Deputy Blin launched or directly advanced a States-backed Housing Scheme to unlock capital since taking office in July 2025. The ITV News Channel Islands report from July 2025 confirmed that Blin failed to secure a seat on any of the 13 main States committees that term, meaning he holds no formal executive role over housing policy. The new Committee for Housing, constituted on 1 July 2025 under Deputy Steve Williams, has focused on other initiatives (Right to Build pilots, affordable site zoning), with no record of a Blin-originated States-backed capital scheme being proposed, debated, or progressed in the States.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictOutstandingmedium confidence
No evidence was found of Deputy Blin initiating, sponsoring, or advancing any new immigration forecasting framework aligned to sector needs and infrastructure capacity since taking office in July 2025. Blin lost his bid for the Economic Development presidency in July 2025 (Bailiwick Express, July 2025) and holds no committee role with a population or immigration mandate; the Committee for Home Affairs under Deputy Leadbeater has been managing a reactive STEP permit backlog crisis in 2026 rather than developing improved forecasting. Separately, Guernsey's Revenue Service IT failures in 2026 have disrupted the production of population and employment statistics entirely (gov.gg, 2026), making the conditions for improved forecasting worse, not better, with no evidence of Blin acting to address this gap.

Prior to the June 2025 election, Blin claimed credit as a DPA member for issuing guidance to simplify building regulations for MMC homes; the new Housing Committee (constituted July 2025) formally listed 'Opportunities for Modern Methods of Construction in Guernsey' as a named workstream with reports to follow. By mid-2026 the wider MMC agenda was advancing through Deputy Laine's related 'Right to Build' scheme (off-island MMC construction), backed cautiously by the Housing Committee president in May 2026, but no independent evidence of a specific Blin-driven MMC initiative or published MMC policy report was found for the post-July 2025 term.

As of July 2026, the Transport Licensing Authority remained fully operational, having issued air transport licences as recently as March 2026 and having adjudicated high-profile licence applications from Loganair in January 2026. No policy letter, States proposition, committee review, or public statement from Deputy Blin concerning the suspension or reform of the TLA was found in any authoritative Guernsey source (gov.gg, parliament.gg, Bailiwick Express, Guernsey Press, or Jersey Evening Post). The promise, though framed as a conditional consideration, appears to have generated no traceable action in the year since Blin took office.

No evidence was found that Deputy Chris Blin took any specific action in the 2025–26 period to advance a formal exploration of executive-style government in Guernsey. The broader debate on executive/ministerial government pre-dated his 2025 election commitment — the States had repeatedly rejected such a move (in 2002, 2010, and 2014) — and the 2026-2029 Government Work Plan agreed in January 2026 listed no workstream on constitutional reform toward an executive model. The States' Assembly & Constitution Committee (to which Blin has no recorded connection) was instead directed to review deputy numbers and procedural rules, not the executive government question.

Deputy Chris Blin included the pledge to 'promote Guernsey as a world-class visitor destination' in his 2025 manifesto, but after taking office in July 2025 he was confirmed by Bailiwick Express (July 2025) as one of only three deputies with no committee role, having failed to secure a seat on the Committee for Economic Development — the body that holds the tourism mandate. The tourism promotion work recorded for 2025–2026 (Brittany Ferries partnership, Visit Guernsey 2026 marketing plan, Tourism Management Board appointments) was led by Deputy Lee Van Katwyk as the Committee's tourism lead, with no evidence of Deputy Blin's personal involvement in any tourism initiative.

This motion maintains mortgage interest tax relief at £3,500 and ceases its phased withdrawal, preserving financial support for homeowners including first-time buyers relevant to housing access.
Motion put to the States: To agree that maintaining and strengthening the Island’s economic capacity is fundamental to the successful delivery of the Government Work Plan and to note the following, which should be included in the consolidated version of the Government Work Plan to be published on gov.gg: “Economic development, competitiveness and productivity are enabling conditions which underpin the delivery of all super priorities set out in this Plan, rather than representing a discrete policy area or a competing objective. Economic growth, resilience or recovery (termed depending on prevailing financial conditions) materially strengthens the Island’s ability to fund public services, invest in infrastructure and meet community needs over time whilst actively promoting innovation. Economic development should therefore be regarded as a cross-cutting consideration informing prioritisation, sequencing and delivery decisions across the Government Work Plan. Responsibility for supporting economic development and long-term economic capacity is a whole-of-government responsibility. While specific policy levers may sit with individual committees, the economic consequences of decisions are shared across government and should be considered accordingly in the delivery of all super priorities.
