Alan Maclean

Senator · Independent

Assistant Minister for Infrastructure · Minister for Treasury and Resources

Alan Maclean

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.

What drove the spikes

Attendance

Turnout in the States Assembly — 2026–2030 Assembly

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.

5 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

Promises, and how they voted — 2026–2030 Assembly

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. Where no recorded vote bears on a promise, an AI delivery verdict assesses progress against the public record.

    Will push for Planning to redesign its services to deliver decisions faster.

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Senator Alan Maclean was elected to the 2026-2030 Assembly on 12 June 2026 and was appointed Minister for Treasury and Resources on 30 June 2026, giving him only three months in office by the assessment date. Direct responsibility for planning service redesign sits with the newly created Planning and Regulation Minister (Senator Sir Mark Boleat, elected 14 July 2026), not with Maclean himself. However, the broader government of which Maclean is a senior member has taken concrete structural steps aligned with his manifesto commitment: a dedicated Planning Minister was created specifically to drive faster planning decisions, and the government's stated Common Strategic Priority includes introducing a fast-track service process for minor applications and improving customer service. No specific action traceable to Maclean personally on planning service redesign has yet been independently reported.

    Will update and implement an anti-inflation strategy to ease cost of living for families.

    “Making Jersey more affordable — by updating and implementing an anti-inflation strategy with policies that help ease the cost of living burden on families.”

    Cost Of LivingEconomy And Business
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Senator Maclean was appointed Treasury Minister on 30 June 2026 and, by July 2026, publicly stated the new government was looking at 'a range of potential and targeted policy interventions' on cost of living through the Budget process (Jersey Evening Post, 23 July 2026). On 28 September 2026 — fewer than four months into the term — he presented the proposed 2027 Budget, which included a multi-million-pound package of targeted measures for families (fuel duty freeze, £250 per school-age child payment, doubling of the Parental Grant, Community Cost Bonus top-up), described by Island FM as 'extra help with the cost of living' (Island FM, 29 September 2026). However, no standalone anti-inflation strategy document has been published, the 2027 Budget is still a proposal pending States Assembly approval, and the four-year term has only just begun.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Will cut red tape and bureaucracy to support businesses and job creation.

    “Cutting red tape and bureaucracy — to support businesses, job creation and a more competitive economy.”

    Economy And BusinessPublic Sector Reform
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Senator Maclean was elected on 7 June 2026 and assumed the Treasury and Resources portfolio on 30 June 2026, giving him approximately three months in office by the assessment date. In his 2027 Budget document (lodged 28–29 September 2026), he stated that the government 'will continue to reduce unnecessary complexity and costs across government' and demanded departments improve productivity before seeking additional funding — directional signals consistent with the manifesto promise. However, no dedicated red-tape-cutting proposition, ministerial plan for business deregulation, or independent reporting of concrete regulatory rollback attributable specifically to Maclean's new term has been identified; the COBO and Companies Law reforms pre-dated his appointment. Given the very short window since the 2026-2030 Assembly first sat, 'in_progress' reflects the early-stage trajectory rather than any failure to act.

  • Keptdirectional

    Will bring government spending under control through service redesign, efficiencies and private/third sector partnerships.

      Reinstating the States Grant to the Social Security Fund increases government expenditure, working against the promise to bring government spending under control through efficiencies.

    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.”

    Maclean was appointed Treasury Minister on 30 June 2026, only three months before this assessment. The new Council of Ministers published its Common Strategic Policy on 29 September 2026, with 'restoring competitiveness' and reducing regulation and red tape as headline pillars, and explicitly naming AI and financial services competitiveness as priorities (Bailiwick Express, 29 Sept 2026; JEP, 29 Sept 2026). The government has also established an economic action group focused on the local economy, and the JFSC's 'Time to Win' financial services competitiveness programme — which Maclean had championed — was producing early results by mid-2026, with fund authorisations doubling year-on-year (Harneys, 23 June 2026). No Maclean-specific propositions on AI, fintech or medical tourism had been independently reported as lodged or delivered within his short window in office, but the direction of travel in the new CSP is clearly aligned with his manifesto promise.
