In the States since July 2025

Rhona Humphreys

Rhona Humphreys stood as a candidate aligned with the Forward Guernsey group, committing to deliver their joint manifesto for the 2025–2029 term. A central theme of her campaign was collaborative working — both within the Forward Guernsey party, whose members pledged to vote together on manifesto matters, and across the wider States Assembly to achieve long-term change for the island.

On fiscal policy, she backed plans to establish an independent, locally-staffed Performance and Reform Council to identify savings within the public sector, alongside a commitment to cut baseline public spending by one percent per year from 2026, targeting savings of £25 million annually by 2029. She supported bringing a tax reform package to the States before March 2026, including ending PAYE tax returns, and aligning corporate tax with Jersey's Zero/15 model while fairly taxing personal investment holding companies.

On housing, she pledged to abolish document duty for first-time buyers on properties under £600,000 and to repurpose redundant greenhouse sites for residential development. She also supported wind power development as part of a longer-term approach to the island's future.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    As of August 2026, no evidence was found that Deputy Humphreys's specific proposal — cutting buildable areas by 20% after three years of slow development and converting them to green space — had been introduced, consulted on, or formally progressed. The Committee for Housing, of which Humphreys is a member, noted in August 2026 it had 'not ruled out punitive policies for undeveloped land' and commissioned an arc4 evidence review under workstream 2A on incentives and penalties, but that report's recommendations were explicitly not endorsed by the committee, and the broader Private Market Housing Development Review remains work-in-progress at a general level. The 20%-cut/green-space conversion mechanism is not traceable to any named policy, policy letter, States debate, or public consultation.

    HousingSocial Security And Benefits
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    No legislation making housing a statutory right was introduced or debated in the States of Deliberation during the period July 2025–August 2026; the Housing Committee's published work plan focused on affordable-home delivery targets and a homelessness implementation plan, not a statutory right to housing. The GHA social housing waiting list stood at 437 households as of mid-2025, having grown since Deputy Humphreys' election, and no States resolution committing to elimination of the list was identified. Deputy Humphreys does not sit on the Committee for Housing, and no propositions attributable to her on these specific commitments appeared in parliamentary records or authoritative Guernsey media.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictDeliveredhigh confidence

    The 2% additional Document Duty on non-principal-residence property purchases was removed as part of Guernsey's 2026 Budget, which was approved by the States of Deliberation in November 2025 — just months after Humphreys took office. The policy was driven by Policy & Resources (led by fellow Forward Guernsey deputy Gavin St Pier as Vice-President) and was enacted via 'The Document Duty (Rates) (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025', with the stated rationale of easing pressure on the rental market — broadly consistent with Humphreys's manifesto framing that the surcharge had failed to raise meaningful revenue.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    As of August 2026, no evidence was found of any States proposition, policy letter, consultation, or committee work specifically targeting a 10% income tax rate on build-to-let rental income. The 2026 Budget (approved November 2025) and the June 2026 Tax Reform Package — the two major fiscal policy events since Deputy Humphreys took office in July 2025 — contained no such measure; the only rental-sector tax relief adopted was removal of the 2% document duty surcharge on buy-to-let properties, a different and narrower concession. Personal income tax on rental income remained at the standard 20% flat rate throughout this period.

    HousingTax And Gst
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Under Guernsey law, income derived from property development is taxed at 20% (the higher rate); no specific legislative proposal to reduce this to 10% for developers building affordable homes under £600,000 was identified in any States policy letter, amendment, or debate up to August 2026. The 2026 Tax Reform Package (published June 2026, debated July 2026) acknowledged only a future, post-2030 consideration of extending the 10% rate to construction generally, with no targeted affordable-housing carve-out. No evidence was found of Deputy Humphreys tabling or formally sponsoring any amendment or policy letter to advance this specific commitment.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    The 2026 Budget (approved November 2025) made no provision for a document duty exemption for first-time buyers on new-build properties; its only document duty change was removing the 2% surcharge on buy-to-lets. However, a resolution passed during the 2026 budget debate required the Committee for Housing and Policy & Resources to report back on measures to support first-time buyers by the 2027 budget, and the Housing Committee's published Work Plan confirmed it was actively considering 'document duty exemptions' as part of a package of first-time buyer support measures. The specific manifesto commitment — a full exemption for new-build purchases under £600k — has not been legislated or formally proposed as of August 2026.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    No evidence was found of any policy letter, States proposition, consultation, or Committee resolution specifically creating a new 'intermediate' affordable housing category with a 30% planning covenant discount for first-time buyers in Guernsey. The Committee for Housing's published Work Plan (July 2026) and Outline Housing Delivery Plan focus on supply delivery, rental sector regulation, and general first-time buyer support measures such as tax-free savings products and document duty exemptions, with no reference to the covenant-based discounted intermediate tenure Humphreys proposed. Following a 2026 budget resolution, Housing and Policy & Resources were mandated to report on first-time buyer support by the 2027 budget, but the measures under consideration do not include the specific planning covenant mechanism.

    Health And Care
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    Deputy Rhona Humphreys was assigned to the Committee for Economic Development — not the Committee for Health & Social Care — when committees were constituted in July 2025, meaning she has no direct standing to deliver this promise from within HSC. No announcement of a formally designated Mental Health Champion from the Committee for Health & Social Care was found in any authoritative source (gov.gg, parliament.gg, Guernsey Press, Bailiwick Express, or ITV News Channel) as of August 2026. While Deputy Aidan Matthews, HSC Vice-President, was described in July 2025 as 'a passionate advocate for mental health,' no distinct 'Mental Health Champion' role or appointment has been publicly recorded.

    Health And Care
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    As of August 2026, SLAWS had not been formally adopted within Humphreys' promised six-month window (by January 2026). The strategy had already stalled before her election due to inter-committee disagreements between P&R, HSC and ESS, with key decisions deferred to 2026; the Government Work Plan 2026-2029 (agreed January 2026) listed SLAWS as a workstream to progress but did not constitute adoption. Humphreys sits on Economic Development and Housing—not HSC or ESS, the committees responsible for SLAWS—and no evidence of her direct personal contribution to the strategy was found. The KEVII site redevelopment (33 beds, announced pre-election in June 2025) is the only concrete step toward 132 beds, leaving the broader bed target substantially unaddressed and the SLAWS model formally unadopted.

    Deputy Humphreys was assigned after July 2025 to the Economic Development and Housing committees, not Health & Social Care, giving her no direct committee remit over contracted medical providers such as the Medical Specialist Group. No States resolution, HSC policy letter, Commissioning Intentions document (including the 2026 Interim version), or press report from Bailiwick Express, Guernsey Press, or gov.gg references a 1%-per-year savings target on contracted medical providers linked to a self-financing healthcare innovation fund. The Health & Social Care committee under Deputy George Oswald has focused its savings work on user charges and a broader healthcare funding model review, with no connection to the specific mechanism Humphreys proposed.

    The previous States of Guernsey administration moved actively against this policy: in January 2025 the Policy & Resources Committee sought to rescind a 2022 resolution directing it to develop compulsory health insurance for new arrivals, citing risks to the UK reciprocal health arrangement and to recruitment. Deputy Humphreys was assigned to the Committee for Economic Development (as Financial Services Lead from July 2026) rather than to Health & Social Care or Employment & Social Security, and no evidence of her advancing this specific promise through any committee, policy letter, or States debate was found. As of August 2026, health insurance remains voluntary for new residents in Guernsey.

No policy letter, consultation, committee report, or States debate concerning new legislation for a Single Patient Record shared across providers was found attributed to Humphreys or her committee.

    As of June 2026, a formal Channel Islands Health Authority had not been established, and HSC President Deputy George Oswald confirmed in a written States answer (3 June 2026) that the concept 'was not supported politically in either Bailiwick' during the previous term. Deputy Humphreys was assigned to the Economic Development and Housing committees rather than HSC, placing her at a distance from driving this health-specific pledge. The existing Channel Island Alliance for Health and Social Care, formed in 2024, was criticised by Deputy Tom Rylatt as producing meetings and information-sharing but little tangible progress toward a formal authority.

(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;

      The GST package vote is part of the broader tax reform package the promise commits to bringing to the States by March 2026, though the specific PAYE return element is not addressed.

    No evidence was found of a standalone, growth-focused statement of Guernsey's risk appetite published by the end of 2025 as promised. The Committee for Economic Development published the Finance Sector Strategy 2035 on 25 February 2026 — a related but distinct document focused on sustainable finance sector growth — which does not constitute the specific risk appetite statement Humphreys pledged. Deputy Humphreys, who served on the Economic Development Committee and was appointed Financial Services Lead in July 2026, was not independently credited with delivering such a statement in any Guernsey official or press source reviewed.

    No evidence was found between July 2025 and August 2026 of any policy letter, States proposition, consultation, or announced programme relating to a new public infrastructure bond open to islander retail investment. Deputy Humphreys' active legislative work during this period focused on a public-service efficiency amendment to the Government Work Plan (January 2026) and her role as Financial Services Lead on the Committee for Economic Development; the government's response to the infrastructure funding gap centred on the 2026 Tax Reform Package (GST/corporate tax) rather than any new bond instrument. Guernsey's only extant public bond remains the 2014 £330m institutional-market issuance, which was not designed for islander investment.

    No evidence was found of any proposal, policy letter, States debate, or committee work plan item directed at replacing the States Property Unit with a new publicly-owned company modelled on the Guernsey Housing Association or Guernsey Development Agency. The States Property Unit remained fully operational through at least April 2026, featuring in a controversy over the Leale's Yard acquisition and a Scrutiny Management Committee investigation (announced October 2025) into its governance and value for money — but that scrutiny review was initiated independently by the SMC, not by Humphreys, and concerned oversight of the existing unit rather than its replacement. The Government Work Plan 2026–2029, agreed by the States in January 2026, contained no commitment to restructure or replace the SPU.

    The Guernsey offshore wind project was actively advancing under the States' Offshore Wind Delivery Board as of mid-2026, with a States-approved policy letter progressing work through phases 3 and 4, consultants (Carbon Trust and PA Consulting) funded through 2025–2026, and a route-to-market commercial decision targeted for December 2026 (gov.gg; Guernsey Press, May 2026). However, Deputy Humphreys sits on the Committee for Economic Development — where she was appointed Financial Services Lead in July 2026 — and is not a named member of the Offshore Wind Delivery Board, making her personal contribution to this promise difficult to distinguish from broader government work. The project itself remains a long-term undertaking, with gov.gg estimating approximately 10 years before any wind farm becomes operational.

    As of August 2026, no States proposition, policy letter, or committee report specifically advancing the Additional Earned Allowance (AEA) for under-30s or the linked Guernsey Property Savings Account (GPSA) was identified in official records. The 2026 Budget and the June 2026 Tax Reform Package introduced a new 15% income tax band and a personal allowance increase, but neither contained an age-targeted AEA on first £100,000 of earnings. Deputy Humphreys was appointed to the Committee for Economic Development (not Policy & Resources, which controls tax policy), and the only related States motion was a general direction to bring forward first-time-buyer measures for the 2027 budget—far short of the specific AEA/GPSA mechanism promised.

    Tax And Gst
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedhigh confidence

    Deputy Humphreys was elected in June 2025 on a platform opposing GST+ and pursuing wholesale tax reform. Although the new Policy & Resources Committee did launch a Tax Review Sub-committee to examine corporate tax alternatives (gov.gg, late 2025), that body concluded by May 2026 that corporate tax reform alone could not fill the fiscal gap and endorsed the GST+ package with only modest tweaks. The revised 2026 Tax Reform Package published on 8 June 2026 still included a 3% GST from 2028. Crucially, Humphreys was recorded voting against a referendum on GST (Guernsey Press, 16 July 2026) — siding with the pro-P&R bloc — and defended a procedural decision not to debate a substantive anti-GST alternative (Bailiwick Express, 17 July 2026). The final vote on the package was deferred to 30 September 2026, leaving the promise's core commitment — blocking GST+ and delivering wholesale reform instead — undelivered as of the assessment date.

To direct the States Assembly and Constitution Committee to return to the States at its meeting on 21st October 2026 with arrangements for the holding (under the provisions of the relevant legislation) of a referendum on Tax reform. 2. To direct the Committee to agree that the question to be put to the electorate in the referendum shall be in a binary form along the following lines: “Do you support the introduction of a GST (goods and services tax)? Yes or No.”.

      This amendment would have replaced the tax reform propositions with a direction to hold a referendum on tax reform, consistent with the promise to seek public input before adopting GST.

      The sursis motion would have delayed tax reform until the States had adequate financial capacity evidence; delaying GST could be consistent with opposing it in its current form.

      Directing consideration of a two-thirds parliamentary majority to approve any future GST rate increase is a safeguard within the GST package; as a package-detail vote it is low relevance to the promise to oppose GST itself.

    The institutional machinery for delivering the 2020 Climate Change Policy was already advancing independently of Humphreys: the States' 'Pathway to Net Zero' policy letter was agreed in April 2025 (parliament.gg, October 2025 statement), before Humphreys took office in July 2025. Humphreys was subsequently assigned to the Committee for Economic Development as Financial Services Lead (gov.gg, July 2026), not to the Committee for Environment & Infrastructure which owns climate delivery; no evidence was found of her personally initiating additional climate measures. The E&I Committee continued to progress the Pathway to Net Zero, offshore wind, solar targets, and a climate adaptation plan as of October 2025, but these workstreams are driven by E&I rather than by Humphreys.

    No evidence was found that Deputy Humphreys or Forward Guernsey advanced a citizens' assembly for the net zero transition after taking office in July 2025. The Guernsey Pathway to Net Zero policy letter — agreed by the States in April 2025, before the new Assembly sat — proposed a 'Net Zero Action Forum' for public-private engagement rather than a citizens' assembly, and a December 2024 Bailiwick Express report explicitly noted that Guernsey would not be using citizens' assemblies in its official net zero plan. Humphreys's committee roles (Economic Development and Housing) sit outside the Environment & Infrastructure committee that leads on net zero, and no parliamentary record, policy letter, or press report indicates she has introduced or championed a citizens' assembly proposal since election.

The Committee for Environment & Infrastructure's published work over the same period focused on net zero pathways, offshore renewables, and Les Vardes Quarry, with no mention of business liability for environmental damage costs.

    Humphreys was elected in June 2025 as one of three Forward Guernsey deputies (alongside Gavin St Pier and Tom Rylatt) and has demonstrably continued to operate as a functioning party unit: by January 2026 she and Rylatt had jointly tabled a States amendment seeking the manifesto's 1% annual savings target, and by July 2026 she was appointed Financial Services Lead on the Economic Development Committee and joined the board of Guernsey Finance as a political representative. Bailiwick Express reported in May 2026 that 'the trio are working together to deliver their joint manifesto aims', confirming the group remains intact and active. Delivery of the 2025-2029 manifesto is, by design, a multi-year programme, so full completion cannot be expected by August 2026.

    Since taking office in July 2025, Deputy Humphreys and her two Forward Guernsey colleagues (St Pier and Rylatt) have demonstrably acted as a voting and communications bloc on manifesto matters: in July 2026 all three issued a joint statement confirming unified support for the tax reform package (a core manifesto item on public finances), and Bailiwick Express reported in May 2026 that Humphreys and Rylatt jointly backed St Pier's P&R bid 'to deliver their joint manifesto aims'. No evidence was found of the trio breaking ranks on any manifesto-area vote in the States of Deliberation, though comprehensive electronic voting records were not individually verified for every division, making full delivery confirmation difficult within the short term of office.

    Deputy Humphreys has demonstrably engaged in collaborative work across multiple institutions since taking office in July 2025: she was appointed to the Committee for Economic Development, became the political representative on the Guernsey Finance board (November 2025), was appointed Financial Services Lead for the ED Committee (July 2026), and co-sponsored an amendment with Forward Guernsey colleague Deputy Rylatt on government savings targets (January 2026). However, the promise is inherently ongoing and process-based rather than a discrete deliverable, so it cannot be marked as fully 'delivered' within a single term.

    Deputy Rhona Humphreys, elected as a Forward Guernsey candidate in June 2025, demonstrated active cross-Assembly collaboration by January 2026 when she co-filed an amendment to the Government Work Plan alongside Deputy Tom Rylatt aimed at binding fiscal savings targets (Guernsey Press, 16 Jan 2026). By July 2026 she was appointed Financial Services Lead on the Committee for Economic Development (gov.gg, 3 Jul 2026), and in May 2026 she and Rylatt issued a joint cross-party statement on the Gavin St Pier affair, actively engaging with Assembly-wide due process. Her promise is essentially a behavioural/process commitment rather than a discrete deliverable, and while there is clear evidence of ongoing collaborative work within the Assembly, no single long-term reform has yet been 'delivered' in her name.
