Voting Pour delivers this
The Rent Control Tribunal proposition relates to raising awareness and enforcement of tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general and directional, and a vote on the composition of a Rent Tribunal is a specific procedural/structural mechanism that may or may not be the right means of honouring that commitment, leaving room for the member to have preferred a different approach.

24 Nov 2022·P.106/2022 — Rent Control Tribunal: Chair and Member nominations Lodged: 1st November 2022 Minister for Housing and Communities - Reference Back — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach23-18
Voting Pour delivers this
Reference back of Rent Control Tribunal Chair and Member nominations relates to ensuring proper governance of the body protecting tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise mentioned raising awareness of tenancy rights generally, but this motion concerned a procedural reference-back on nominations to a Rent Control Tribunal, which is a specific governance/appointment mechanism rather than the substance of tenancy rights policy, so voting against it does not plainly contradict the promise without inferential steps.
13 Dec 2022·P.97/2022(Amd)(26)(Amd) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): twenty-sixth amendment (P.97/2022. Amd.(26).) – amendment Rent-a-room tax relief (Part 1) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach14-29
Voting Pour delivers this
Rent-a-room tax relief relates to helping more residents access housing affordably.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to housing affordability and tenancy awareness, while this motion concerns one specific tax mechanism (rent-a-room relief) that is, at most, one optional route toward those goals, and rejecting it does not plainly contradict the broader promise.
13 Dec 2022·P.97/2022(Amd)(26)(Amd) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): twenty-sixth amendment (P.97/2022. Amd.(26).) – amendment Rent-a-room tax relief (Part 2) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach13-29
Voting Pour delivers this
Rent-a-room tax relief part 2 relates to helping more residents access housing affordably.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned managing population growth, getting residents onto the housing ladder, and raising tenancy rights awareness, while this motion concerned a specific tax relief mechanism (rent-a-room relief), which is one optional fiscal instrument among many that could relate to housing—rejecting this particular measure does not plainly contradict the general housing commitment.
13 Dec 2022✓P.97/2022(Amd)(26) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): twenty-sixth amendment Rent-a-room tax relief — Pour, voted to deliver32-15

13 Dec 2022·P.97/2022(Amd)(2) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): second amendment Stamp Duty of buy to let investments second homes and holiday homes (P.97/2022 Amd.(2)) Part 1 — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach16-29
Voting Pour delivers this
Stamp duty on buy-to-let investments relates to managing the housing market and helping residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "get more residents on the housing ladder" is a general directional commitment, and voting against a specific stamp-duty amendment on buy-to-let and second homes is one particular fiscal mechanism that could serve that goal, but rejecting it does not necessarily contradict the broader promise, as the member may have preferred alternative routes to the same end.
13 Dec 2022·P.97/2022(Amd)(2) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): second amendment Stamp Duty of buy to let investments second homes and holiday homes (P.97/2022 Amd.(2)) Part 2 — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach2-42
Voting Pour delivers this
Stamp duty on buy-to-let investments relates to managing the housing market and helping residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "get more residents on the housing ladder" is a general goal, and voting against this specific stamp duty amendment on buy-to-let and second homes is one of several possible approaches to that goal; the member could reasonably have opposed this particular fiscal mechanism while still pursuing home ownership through other means.
15 Dec 2022·P.97/2022(Amd)(11) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): eleventh amendment Ringfenced Stamp Duty (P.97/2022 Amd.(11)) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach17-32
Voting Pour delivers this
Ringfenced stamp duty relates to managing housing costs and helping residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns managing population growth, helping residents onto the housing ladder, and raising tenancy rights awareness, while this motion concerns ringfencing stamp duty — a specific fiscal mechanism that could plausibly relate to housing but requires an inferential chain to connect to the promise, and a member could reasonably oppose this particular mechanism while still pursuing the broader housing goal.
19 Apr 2023–P.13/2023 — Regulation of Estate Agents - as amended — Excused, did not take a side42-0

Voting Pour delivers this
Rent control measures directly relate to the promise to manage housing costs and raise awareness of tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general and directional, and while rent control measures are related to tenants' rights, voting against one specific rent control mechanism does not plainly contradict a promise about awareness and housing ladder access, as the member could reasonably hold different views on whether rent control is the right instrument.
02 May 2023·P.18/2023 — Rent Control Measures [P.18/2023] - as amended - paragraph (a)(ii) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach17-25
Voting Pour delivers this
Rent control measures directly relate to the promise to manage housing and protect tenants.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is a general directional commitment, and voting against a specific rent control measure is not plainly the same as voting against tenancy-rights awareness; a member could oppose this particular mechanism while still pursuing the broader housing and tenancy goals by other means.
02 May 2023·P.18/2023 — Rent Control Measures [P.18/2023] - as amended - paragraph (a)(iii) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach12-30
Voting Pour delivers this
Rent control measures directly relate to the promise to manage housing and raise awareness of tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise mentions raising awareness of tenancy rights, not necessarily imposing rent control measures, so voting against a specific rent control mechanism is not a plain contradiction of a general commitment to tenancy rights awareness and housing solutions.
02 May 2023·P.18/2023 — Rent Control Measures [P.18/2023] - as amended - paragraph (b)(i) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach10-32
Voting Pour delivers this
Rent control measures directly relate to protecting tenants and raising awareness of tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise mentions raising awareness of tenancy rights but does not specifically commit to rent control measures, so voting against a particular rent control mechanism is not a plain contradiction of a promise that was primarily about awareness and housing ladder access rather than price regulation.
02 May 2023·P.18/2023 — Rent Control Measures [P.18/2023] - as amended - paragraph (b)(ii) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach16-26
Voting Pour delivers this
Rent control measures directly relate to protecting tenants and raising awareness of tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general and directional, and voting against one specific rent control measure does not straightforwardly contradict it, as a member could oppose that particular mechanism while still pursuing the broader housing and tenancy commitments through other means.
02 May 2023·P.18/2023 — Rent Control Measures [P.18/2023] - as amended - paragraph (c) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach22-20
Voting Pour delivers this
Rent control measures paragraph (c) relates to the promise to manage population growth and help residents with housing.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise mentions raising awareness of tenancy rights, not implementing rent control, and while rent control measures relate broadly to housing, voting against this specific mechanism does not plainly contradict a general commitment to tenant awareness and housing ladder access, as a member could reasonably oppose rent control while still pursuing those goals by other means.
28 Nov 2023·P.40/2023 — Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 202- Reference back — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach18-26
Voting Contre delivers this
A reference back of rented dwellings licensing regulations would delay protections for tenants, working against the promise on tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general, and the motion concerns referring back licensing regulations for rented dwellings—a procedural step that does not straightforwardly contradict or confirm the broader commitment to tenancy rights awareness, since a member could support referral back to improve rather than abandon such regulations.
29 Nov 2023·P.87/2023 — Minimum Residential Space Standards (P.87/2023) - Paragraph (c) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach13-27
Voting Pour delivers this
Minimum residential space standards (paragraph c) relate to protecting tenants' rights to adequate housing.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns managing population growth, homeownership, and tenancy rights awareness, while minimum residential space standards are a specific regulatory mechanism for housing quality that is only indirectly related to those commitments, and voting against one particular housing standard does not clearly contradict the general promise.
18 Jul 2023·P.40/2023 — Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 202- Principles — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach34-10
Voting Pour delivers this
Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) Licensing Regulations principles relate to raising awareness of tenancy rights and improving rental conditions.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise broadly references raising awareness of tenancy rights and obligations, while the motion concerns a specific licensing regime for rented dwellings, which is a related but distinct regulatory mechanism; voting against it could reflect concerns about the particular approach rather than opposition to the general goal of improving tenants' protections.
19 Jul 2023·P.48/2023 — Mortgage repayment assistance. — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach19-24
Voting Pour delivers this
Mortgage repayment assistance directly relates to the promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "get more residents on the housing ladder" is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific mortgage repayment assistance scheme does not plainly contradict it, as the member could have opposed this particular mechanism while still pursuing the broader goal through different means.
19 Jul 2023·P.49/2023 — Entitlement to work – reduction in residency requirement. — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach11-31
Voting Pour delivers this
Reduction in residency requirement for entitlement to work relates to managing population growth.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is to "manage population growth" (not necessarily reduce it) and to help residents onto the housing ladder, while the motion concerns reducing residency requirements for work entitlement—a specific immigration/labour mechanism whose connection to either housing-ladder access or population management requires inference about whether more or fewer restrictions best serves the promise's general direction.

28 Nov 2023·P.40/2023 — Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 202- Regulation 2 (Amd 11 Amd) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach12-35
Voting Pour delivers this
Rented dwellings licensing regulations relate to improving housing standards and protecting tenants.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is broad and directional, while this motion concerns a specific amendment to licensing regulations for rented dwellings, meaning a vote against it does not straightforwardly contradict the promise since the member could support tenancy rights awareness through other mechanisms.
28 Nov 2023·P.40/2023 — Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 202- Regulation 2 — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach35-4
Voting Pour delivers this
Rented dwellings licensing regulations relate to improving housing standards and protecting tenants.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general and directional, and voting against one specific licensing regulation for rented dwellings could reflect concerns about the mechanism, scope, or drafting rather than opposition to the broader goal of improving tenants' protections.
28 Nov 2023·P.40/2023 — Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 202- Regulations 3-6 — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach37-4
Voting Pour delivers this
Rented dwellings licensing regulations relate to improving housing standards and protecting tenants.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general and directional, and voting against specific licensing regulations for rented dwellings could reflect a preference for a different regulatory mechanism rather than opposition to the underlying goal of improving tenant protections.
28 Nov 2023·P.40/2023 — Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 202- Third Reading — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach37-9
Voting Pour delivers this
Third reading of rented dwellings licensing regulations directly relates to improving housing standards and tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While the motion on licensing rented dwellings relates broadly to tenants' rights, the promise specifically mentioned "awareness of tenancy rights and obligations," and voting against one particular licensing mechanism does not plainly contradict that directional commitment, as the member could support tenant awareness through other means.
29 Nov 2023·P.87/2023 — Minimum Residential Space Standards (P.87/2023) - Paragraph (b) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach16-22
Voting Pour delivers this
Minimum residential space standards (paragraph b) relate to protecting tenants' rights to adequate housing.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise focused on managing population growth, homeownership, and tenancy rights awareness, while this motion concerns minimum residential space standards—a related but distinct housing quality mechanism that is not directly named in the promise, making it unclear that voting against it contradicts the promise rather than reflecting a different view on the appropriate regulatory approach.
13 Dec 2023·P.72/2023 Amd.(19) — Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): nineteenth amendment. Investment of stamp duty uplift into first time buyer funds — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach12-34
Voting Pour delivers this
Investing stamp duty uplift from second homes into first-time buyer funds directly advances helping more residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific funding mechanism (redirecting stamp duty revenue into first-time buyer funds) does not plainly contradict it, as the member could prefer different routes to achieve the same goal.
29 Nov 2023·P.87/2023 — Minimum Residential Space Standards (P.87/2023) - Paragraph (a) — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach22-20
Voting Pour delivers this
Minimum residential space standards (paragraph a) relate to protecting tenants' rights to adequate housing.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise focused on managing population growth, expanding home ownership, and raising awareness of tenancy rights, while the motion concerned minimum residential space standards — a related but distinct housing measure that the member could reasonably oppose without abandoning the broader promise.

26 Nov 2024·P.51/2024 Amd.(28) — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2025-2028 (P.51/2024): twenty-eighth amendment. Removal of stamp duty surcharge on second homes - as amended — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach23-24
Voting Contre delivers this
Removal of stamp duty surcharge on second homes would affect housing market dynamics in a way that could disadvantage first-time buyers, working against helping residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise broadly concerns managing population growth and helping residents onto the housing ladder, while the motion specifically concerns removing a stamp duty surcharge on second homes — a particular fiscal mechanism whose relationship to the promise requires inferential reasoning about whether the surcharge helps or hinders first-time buyers relative to second-home purchasers.
26 Nov 2024·P.51/2024 Amd.(25)(re-issue) — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2025-2028 (P.51/2024): twenty-fifth amendment. Stamp Duty Exemption - as amended — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach7-36
Voting Contre delivers this
Stamp duty exemption amendment relates to housing market management and helping residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder is a general directional commitment, and whether a specific stamp duty exemption amendment to the 2025–2028 budget was the right mechanism to honour it requires a policy judgement that cannot be read directly from the manifesto text.

Voting Pour delivers this
Residential Tenancy Amendment Law amendment relates to improving tenancy rights protections.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general and directional, and voting against one specific amendment to tenancy legislation does not straightforwardly contradict it, as the member could oppose this particular amendment's mechanism while still pursuing the broader goal of improving tenancy rights awareness by other means.

Residential Tenancy Amendment Law part 1 (adopted) relates to improving tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to raise awareness of tenancy rights is general and directional, and voting against one specific amendment to tenancy legislation could reflect concerns about the particular mechanism or drafting rather than opposition to the broader goal of improving tenants' awareness of their rights and obligations.

Voting Pour delivers this
Residential Tenancy Amendment Law part 2 (adopted) relates to improving tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise was a general directional commitment to raise awareness of tenancy rights, while the motion concerned a specific amendment to tenancy law whose details are not provided, and voting against one particular legislative amendment does not straightforwardly contradict a broad manifesto aspiration without knowing whether the member objected to the mechanism, scope, or drafting rather than the underlying goal.
10 Sept 2025·P.24/2025 Amd.(2). — Part 3 — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach36-8
Voting Pour delivers this
Residential Tenancy Amendment Law part 3 (adopted) relates to improving tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

10 Sept 2025·P.24/2025 Amd.(4). — Part 4 — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach37-3
Voting Pour delivers this
Residential Tenancy Amendment Law part 4 relates to improving tenancy rights.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise broadly favours raising awareness of tenancy rights, but this motion concerns a specific paragraph of an amendment to tenancy law, and voting against one particular provision does not straightforwardly contradict a general manifesto commitment to tenancy-rights awareness without knowing what that paragraph specifically decided.
09 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(31). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): thirty-first amendment. Empty Residential Properties, as amended — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach41-3
Voting Pour delivers this
The amendment on empty residential properties bears on managing housing supply and helping residents access housing.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise speaks broadly to managing population growth and housing ladder access, while this motion concerns a specific budget amendment on empty residential properties—a related but distinct mechanism whose rejection does not straightforwardly contradict the general housing commitment.
11 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(14). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): fourteenth amendment. Mortgage Interest Tax Relief — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach13-26
Voting Pour delivers this
Reinstating mortgage interest tax relief would directly help more residents afford home ownership, advancing the promise to help more onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific tax-relief mechanism (mortgage interest relief) does not plainly contradict it, since a member could oppose this particular measure while pursuing the same goal through other routes.
11 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(14).Amd. — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): fourteenth amendment (P.70/2025 Amd.(14)), amendment. Mortgage Interest Tax Relief — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach19-21
Voting Contre delivers this
This amendment to the mortgage interest tax relief amendment, if adopted, would have altered or weakened that relief measure, so voting against it supports preserving the relief that helps buyers.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder is a broad directional commitment, and reinstating mortgage interest tax relief is one specific, debatable mechanism for achieving it — voting against this particular amendment does not straightforwardly contradict the general aim, as a member could reasonably prefer alternative measures or judge this route ineffective or unaffordable.

26 Nov 2024·P.51/2024 Amd.(28).Amd. — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2025-2028 (P.51/2024): twenty-eighth amendment (P.51/2024 Amd.(28)), amendment. Removal of stamp duty surcharge on second homes — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach30-14
Voting Pour delivers this
The amendment to remove the stamp duty surcharge on second homes was itself what was being amended; voting for this counter-amendment preserved the surcharge that supports first-time buyer policy.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder is a general directional commitment, and whether removing a stamp duty surcharge on second homes is the right specific mechanism to advance that goal requires an inference about policy design that the promise itself does not specify.
09 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(31).Amd. — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): thirty-first amendment (P.70/2025 Amd.(31)), amendment. Empty Residential Properties — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach16-27
Voting Contre delivers this
This amendment to the empty residential properties amendment, if adopted, would have altered or weakened the empty properties measure, so voting against it advances the housing promise.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad, multi-part directional commitment to population management and housing access, while the motion concerns a specific amendment about empty residential properties within a wider budget document, and voting for or against it cannot straightforwardly be equated with supporting or opposing the general housing ladder and tenancy-rights goals.
08 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(15). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): fifteenth amendment. Removal of 3% Stamp Surcharge — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach2-42
Voting Contre delivers this
Removing the stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second homes would reduce a policy designed to help first-time buyers access housing, working against the promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to help more residents onto the housing ladder is a general directional commitment, and whether removing a stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second homes advances or hinders that goal requires a policy inference rather than being self-evident from the promise's text.
09 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(31).Amd.(2). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): thirty-first amendment (P.70/2025 Amd.(31)), second amendment. Empty Residential Properties — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach40-4
Voting Pour delivers this
The second amendment to the thirty-first amendment on empty residential properties also bears on increasing housing availability.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad, multi-part commitment to manage population growth and housing access, while the motion concerns a specific amendment about empty residential properties within a larger budget document, making it impossible to say that voting against this one mechanism directly contradicts the general promise without inferring that this particular measure was the right or necessary route to honouring it.

10 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd. — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): amendment. Development Levies — Contre15-27
Development levies could fund affordable housing measures and bear tangentially on helping residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad, multi-part commitment to manage population growth and housing affordability, while the motion concerns one specific budget amendment on development levies — a particular fiscal mechanism whose connection to the promised outcomes requires inference about whether this levy would have delivered those outcomes.
27 Mar 2026·P.51/2026 — Removal of Interest Tax Relief for Buy-to-Let Mortgages (P.51-2026) — Contre18-21
Removal of interest tax relief for buy-to-let mortgages relates to managing the housing market and helping residents onto the housing ladder.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "help more residents onto the housing ladder" is a general directional commitment, and whether removing interest tax relief for buy-to-let mortgages is the right mechanism to achieve that goal requires an inference; a member could reasonably oppose this specific fiscal measure while still pursuing the broader housing-access aim through other means.
