AN INDEPENDENT RECORD OF EVERY PROMISE MADE IN THE STATES OF JERSEY

Assistant Minister for Infrastructure · Minister for Treasury and Resources
Alan Maclean was first elected to the States Assembly in 2005 as Deputy of St. Helier No. 2, before winning a Senator's seat in 2008. He previously served as Minister for Treasury and Resources from 2014 to 2018. Returning to the Assembly in 2026 as a Senator, he currently holds the offices of Minister for Treasury and Resources and Assistant Minister for Infrastructure.
For the 2026–2030 term, Maclean campaigned on restoring fiscal discipline and supporting economic growth. His principal pledges included updating and implementing an anti-inflation strategy to ease cost-of-living pressures on families, creating a competitive and business-friendly regulatory environment to attract inward investment and new growth sectors, cutting red tape to support businesses and job creation, and bringing government spending under control through service redesign, efficiencies, and greater partnership with the private and third sectors. He also pledged to push for Planning to deliver decisions faster and to rebuild Jersey's fiscal reserves in line with Fiscal Policy Panel advice.
Before returning to elected office, Maclean spent around eight years in the private sector managing an investment business and serving as a non-executive director for several organisations, including Genuine Jersey, giving him direct exposure to the pressures facing businesses, employees and families.

Attendance
The States Assembly records a reason against every non-vote, so being ill, off-island, on parental leave or barred by a declared interest can be told apart from simply not turning up. Absences with an accepted reason are removed from both sides of the rate rather than held against the member.
4 votes in 2026–2030 Assembly so far — fewer than the 10 needed before this scorecard will publish a participation rate. The record to date:
Manifesto
Grouped by policy area. Each promise carries the recorded States Assembly votes that test it, and whether this member voted to deliver — open any vote for the motion and the reasoning. A vote counts against a promise only where it plainly contradicts it; where a member voted against one particular measure but the breach is arguable, the vote is shown and set aside rather than counted. Promises no recorded vote has borne on yet are marked as untested rather than scored.

1 ContreVoting Contre delivers this
Reinstating the States Grant to the Social Security Fund would increase government expenditure, working against the promise to bring government spending under control through efficiencies; voting Contre aligns with the spending-control commitment.
Will work to rebuild Jersey's fiscal reserves in line with Fiscal Policy Panel advice.
“The independent Fiscal Policy Panel has consistently advised in recent reports that we rebuild our reserves. That has not happened and must.”
1 recorded vote tests this promise
1 ContreVoting Contre delivers this
Restoring the States Grant to the Social Security Fund represents a draw on public funds that could otherwise rebuild fiscal reserves, so voting Contre advances the promise to rebuild Jersey's fiscal reserves in line with Fiscal Policy Panel advice.
Will create a business-friendly regulatory environment and attract inward investment and new growth sectors.
“Create a competitive, business-friendly regulatory environment, remove barriers to business, incentivise innovation, attract inward investment and encourage new growth sectors such as AI, fintech and medical tourism.”
