Liam McKenna

Liam McKenna stood on a broad platform of economic reform, housing accessibility, and public asset repurposing, presenting an alternative to new consumer taxes as a means of addressing Guernsey's fiscal pressures.

On taxation, McKenna pledged to oppose the introduction of GST, which he characterised as a regressive burden on working families, and instead proposed pursuing a restructured corporate tax framework — including implementation of the OECD's Pillar II global minimum tax — to generate at least £30 million in additional annual revenue.

On housing, McKenna advanced several specific proposals. He called for a 12-month deadline for UK investors to divest from local market rental properties, with compulsory purchase powers applied to non-compliant cases. He also proposed developing the Castel Hospital site into affordable one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with resale price restrictions to maintain long-term accessibility for local buyers. Additionally, he pledged to repurpose King Edward VII Hospital as a care home or assisted living facility, and convert Duchess of Kent House into accommodation for nursing and healthcare key workers.

On energy, McKenna proposed strategic investment in tidal and wind power, citing Guernsey's tidal range as a significant untapped economic and environmental opportunity.

    Repurpose Duchess of Kent House into key worker accommodation for nursing and healthcare staff.

    “The Duchess of Kent House, located just a few hundred yards away, could be repurposed into essential accommodation for nursing and healthcare staff — an increasingly urgent need for our growing elderly population.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    No evidence emerged from any authoritative Guernsey source (gov.gg, parliament.gg, Guernsey Press, Bailiwick Express) that Deputy McKenna took any formal action after taking office in July 2025 to advance the repurposing of Duchess of Kent House into healthcare-staff accommodation. The building remained in active HSC operational use, with around 110–120 staff regularly using it for corporate and clinical-support functions as of December 2024; HSC's then-president described demolishing or converting it as a "waste of a current resource." A separate P&R plan to build 66 key-worker units on an adjacent greenfield was withdrawn in late 2024 after adverse planning advice, leaving the broader question of staff accommodation near PEH unresolved, and no new initiative specifically targeting Duchess of Kent House for conversion was reported in 2025 or 2026.

    Introduce a 12-month deadline for UK investors to sell local market rental properties, with compulsory purchase for non-compliance.

    No evidence was found in any authoritative Guernsey source — gov.gg, parliament.gg, the Guernsey Press, or Bailiwick Express — of Deputy McKenna having introduced, proposed, or otherwise advanced a policy to require UK investors to divest from local market rental properties within 12 months under threat of compulsory purchase. McKenna was elected Vice-President of the Scrutiny Management Committee in September 2025 and appeared on the scrutiny panel that questioned the Housing Committee in March 2026, but solely in a scrutiny capacity; no legislative or policy motion related to this promise was surfaced. The States' housing policy activity in the same period focused on Open Market register reforms, landlord registration standards, and new tenancy frameworks — none of which addressed the specific UK-investor divestment mechanism McKenna proposed.

  • No recorded votespecific1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments

    Develop the Castel Hospital site into affordable 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments with resale price restrictions for local people.

    “The Castel Hospital site has immense potential for development into 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments — designed for local people, sold at affordable prices, and protected by resale price restrictions to ensure long-term accessibility.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    Deputy McKenna was assigned to the Scrutiny Management Committee (as Vice-President, elected September 2025) rather than the Housing Committee, meaning he holds no executive role over the Castel Hospital site specifically. As of March 2026, the Housing Committee confirmed it had been discussing a phased development of the Castel Hospital site with officials, but the site remained in use by States staff and no planning application, feasibility study, or resale-price-restriction framework specific to McKenna's manifesto vision had been announced. The site was listed in the Housing Site Availability Framework (April 2026) without a unit allocation, and broader IDP planning designations confirmed affordable housing would be required there only in the longer term, with no delivery date set.

    Repurpose King Edward VII Hospital site into a care home or assisted living facility.

    “King Edward VII Hospital presents an ideal location for a care home or assisted living facility, similar to Nouvelle Maraitaine. With L'Aumône surgery nearby, it offers excellent accessibility.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progresshigh confidence

    The States of Guernsey's Policy & Resources Committee announced in June 2025 (just before McKenna took office) a partnership with CI Healthcare to redevelop the western portion of the King Edward VII site into a 33-bed, privately funded care home, with completion targeted for late 2027. Initial planning permission to demolish a roadside building on Rue de la Perruque was subsequently granted to create parking and access for the future care home, and the site is being considered for reclassification as a 'Care Village' under the Island Development Plan review. Full planning permission for the main redevelopment remains outstanding, and the facility is not yet built, so the promise is clearly in progress but not delivered.

In the event that the Fiscal Policy Panel’s assurance review concludes that the scheduled increase in the rate of GST does not satisfy the requirements herein, the scheduled increase shall not take effect and shall instead be deferred for at least 12 months until the Panel concludes that the requirements have been met.”. 3. In Proposition 4, to insert after the words “to give effect to the above decisions” the following: “, and to direct that such legislation include provision requiring that any resolution to approve legislation that seeks to vary or repeal the legislative protections referred to in paragraph 10.4, and outlined in Resolution I. 2 of Billet d’État No III of 2026 made on the 26th February 2026, shall be deemed to have carried only if not less than two-thirds of the Members present vote in favour.”. 4.

The deputy promised to oppose GST, and voting pour on this amendment would have removed GST from the budget proposition, but the amendment also mandated a specific alternative (a 2% income tax rise), meaning a vote against it could reflect opposition to that particular replacement mechanism rather than support for GST.

To direct the Policy & Resources Committee to implement the package of tax reforms to make Guernsey and Alderney more financially sustainable as set out in sections 9 and 10 with the rates and thresholds as described in Appendix 7, save that, in relation to GST, food produced or grown by small independent suppliers is to be taxed at a rate of 0% and not at 3%, and with the following clarifications, and subject to the following: A) the Policy & Resources Committee, working with the Committee for Employment & Social Security, shall not bring GST into operation unless: i. the associated personal income tax and social security contribution mitigations are in force and operational, and are being applied through the relevant deduction, collection and assessment arrangements, before GST becomes chargeable; ii. the approved GST-related increases in the States Pension, income support and other benefits have taken effect, with payments at the increased rates commencing before GST becomes chargeable; and iii. the Essential Costs Relief Payment arrangements are in force and operational; for the purpose of this Proposition, an intention to apply relief retrospectively, make compensatory payments later or complete the necessary systems after GST has commenced shall not constitute implementation of the Mitigation Measures; b) the Policy & Resources Committee: i. shall defer the commencement of GST where any of the conditions in this Proposition 1(a) cannot be met; ii. shall revise the implementation timetable so that those conditions are met, including any necessary alignment with the commencement of a tax or contribution year; and iii. shall report promptly to the States on the reason for the delay, its financial implications and the revised timetable; c) no authority otherwise given under this item shall permit GST to commence in advance of compliance with those conditions; d) the Policy & Resources Committee and the Committee for Employment & Social Security, before any instrument bringing GST into operation is made or submitted for approval, shall publish a joint implementation assurance report: i. identifying each Mitigation Measure, its commencement date and the date from which its financial effect will be delivered; ii. setting out the evidence that the necessary legislation, staffing, systems, payroll interfaces, assessment arrangements and payment processes are ready to deliver the measures in accordance with this Proposition; and iii. identifying any outstanding implementation risks and explaining how those risks have been addressed, including the arrangements for receiving and determining Essential Costs Relief Payment Claims; e) where compliance depends upon an event occurring after publication of that report, the Committees shall publish confirmation that the event has occurred before GST becomes chargeable, if the conditions cannot be met, the terms under this proposition at 1(b) shall apply notwithstanding any commencement date previously appointed; f) the legislation implementing GST shall give effect to these commencement conditions and shall not confer power to dispense with them by administrative decision; and

    Deputy McKenna was elected Vice-President of the Scrutiny Management Committee in September 2025, a scrutiny rather than executive role, and no evidence was found of him personally driving or contributing to any tidal or wind energy initiative since taking office. The broader offshore wind project in Guernsey is being progressed by a separate Offshore Wind Delivery Board (comprising Deputies Blin, Gabriel, and de Sausmarez) and was already underway before McKenna's election, with consultants Carbon Trust and PA Consulting funded for 2025–2026 work and a commercial Policy Letter targeted for December 2026. No tidal energy strategic investment specific to McKenna's promise was identified in any source.
