Voting Pour delivers this

Reinstating mortgage interest tax relief could improve affordability for first-time buyers with mortgages, bearing on the promise to address housing affordability.

Voting Contre delivers this

This motion removes the stamp duty surcharge on second homes, which would undermine a measure designed to reduce investor competition and improve affordability for first-time buyers and renters; voting contre preserves that affordability measure.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to address housing affordability is a broad directional commitment, and whether removing a stamp duty surcharge on second homes advances or hinders that goal requires a chain of policy reasoning rather than being self-evident from the promise's text.

Voting Pour delivers this

This motion directly funds free childcare for 2-to-3-year-olds by raising the hourly rate paid to providers, which is precisely the policy of extending free nursery care the promise commits to.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While the promise mentions exploring free nursery care for two-year-olds, voting against a specific funding-rate increase for providers (£11 to £11.50/hour) could reflect concerns about the mechanism, affordability, or budget trade-offs rather than opposition to the principle of extending free childcare.

Voting Pour delivers this

This motion adds funding to the Jersey Premium scheme for sport in primary schools, which partially advances increased education and children's wellbeing spending.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns education spending generally, but this motion is a specific, optional amendment to fund sport and physical activity via the Jersey Premium scheme—a mechanism the member could reasonably reject while still pursuing the broader goal of increased education spending through other means.

Voting Contre delivers this

This motion concerns a savings allocation cut to the Office of the Children's Commissioner, opposing it protects children's crisis support infrastructure aligned with the promise to improve crisis support for children.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns increasing education spending and crisis support for children generally, while this amendment addresses a specific savings allocation to the Office of the Children's Commissioner — a related but distinct mechanism, and a member could reasonably support such savings while still pursuing the broader promise through other means.

Voting Pour delivers this

This motion widens the Community Costs Bonus income threshold and extends its deadline, directly addressing cost-of-living pressures on lower-income households as the promise commits to.

Voting Pour delivers this

Extending the temporary Social Security contribution reduction helps reduce costs for workers and employers, bearing on the promise to reduce the cost of living.
