Chris Leck

Chris Leck was first elected to the States Assembly in June 2026 as Deputy for St Saviour. Since then he has served simultaneously as a member of the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel, the Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel, and the Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel.

Leck campaigned on reducing the cost of living through economic growth, fiscal discipline and reform. His principal pledges included reviewing taxes, social security contributions and fuel duties to ease pressures on islanders and small businesses, while cutting public expenditure and deregulation to balance any revenue changes. He proposed attracting high-tech and AI businesses to the island, widening immigration policy to allow non-specialist workers in gainful employment to reside in Jersey, and simplifying residential statuses by abolishing non-qualified property designations. On housing, he committed to extending first-time buyer mortgage relief across all property types, encouraging affordable housing development, and introducing a Development Land Tax on derelict greenhouse sites. He also pledged to improve patient pathways, preventative care and specialist access within the health service, and to complete hospital developments cost-effectively.

Before entering the Assembly, Leck worked as an Audit Partner with Deloitte and in the Jersey financial services sector. His public sector experience includes serving as Projects Director for the States Treasury Department and a decade as Treasurer Trustee for the Jersey Employment Trust.

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.

3 votes in 2026–2030 Assembly so far — fewer than the 10 needed before this scorecard will publish a participation rate. The record to date:

  • Voted or abstained3

Set aside from the rate · 2

  • Ill2

These 2 ballots are removed from both sides of the rate, not counted as absences. Each is a vote the member either could not cast or was barred from casting. Reasons are the States Assembly’s own, as published in its voting record.

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.

Housing & Planning

1 promise · 0 kept

No recorded States Assembly vote bears on this area yet.

  • No recorded votespecific

    Will propose extending first-time buyer assistance with mortgage relief, affordable housing development and a Development Land Tax on derelict greenhouse sites.

    “Leck proposes extending first-time buyer assistance to include mortgage relief, encompassing all property types, encouraging further development of affordable houses and developing derelict greenhouse sites from which Development Land Taxes could be raised.”

    Deputy Chris Leck was elected to the 2026–2030 Assembly on 7 June 2026, with the new Assembly first sitting on 19 June 2026 — giving him only approximately three months in post by 20 September 2026. No evidence was found of any proposition lodged, ministerial statement issued, or independent reporting of action by Leck on extending first-time buyer mortgage relief, developing derelict greenhouse sites, or introducing a Development Land Tax. Notably, Jersey's existing mortgage interest tax relief was itself fully phased out as of 2026 under earlier States decisions, making this a more complex policy landscape to navigate. The short timeframe means this should be read as no visible progress to date rather than as a failure.

Health & Social Care

    Will work to improve patient pathways, preventative care and specialist access, and ensure hospital developments are completed cost-effectively.

    “Improve patient pathways, preventative services, accountability and access to specialist care. Complete the hospital developments cost effectively and efficiently.”

    Deputy Leck was elected on 7 June 2026 and the 2026-2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving him only approximately three months in office as of the assessment date. No evidence was found of Leck personally initiating or advancing work on patient pathways, preventative services or specialist-care access; having sought a ministerial role he was instead appointed to scrutiny panels, including the Health and Social Security Scrutiny Panel, placing him in an oversight rather than executive position. The Overdale hospital main works contract (£710m, with Bouygues UK) was signed on 5 June 2026 by the outgoing government, before Leck took his seat, so that milestone cannot be attributed to his efforts, and questions around the sign-off process have since emerged.

    Will push for a review of taxes, social security and fuel duties to support islanders and small businesses.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Reinstating the States Grant to the Social Security Fund directly concerns the funding and structure of social security, which the promise to review taxes and social security to support islanders explicitly covers.

      Considered and set aside: this vote has not been adjudicated as a clear breach.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Will pursue reduction of public expenditure, deregulation and attraction of high-tech and AI businesses to grow the economy.

    “Any changes in income to the government must be balanced by reducing public expenditure and increasing income elsewhere by growing the economy, cutting red tape, removing unnecessary regulations, and attracting high-tech, AI and other businesses to the Island.”

    Deputy Chris Leck was elected to the 2026-2030 Assembly on 7 June 2026, with the new Assembly first sitting on 19 June 2026 — a window of just over three months to the assessment date. Rather than securing the assistant ministerial role he sought, Leck was appointed to the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel (reported by Bailiwick Express, July 2026), a backbench oversight role. No propositions, ministerial statements, or independent reporting of actions by Leck on expenditure reduction, deregulation, or attraction of high-tech and AI businesses to Jersey have been identified in that short period.

Governance & Public Services

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Will advocate for widening immigration policies to allow non-specialist workers with gainful employment to live in Jersey.

    “To help increase the working population Leck suggests widening immigration policies to ensure those with non-specialist skills can live in Jersey if they have gainful employment.”

    Chris Leck was elected Deputy for St Saviour on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving him only approximately three months in office as of the assessment date. No proposition, ministerial statement, scrutiny panel submission, or reported advocacy by Leck specifically on widening immigration permissions for non-specialist workers with gainful employment was found in any authoritative Jersey source. The broader immigration landscape shows a government-level work permit review in train for 2026 and a separate Assembly proposition (P.57/2026) on migrant worker protections lodged by another member, but neither is attributable to Leck's manifesto commitment.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Will address road conditions, speeding and support creation of additional community areas in St Saviour.

    “The quality of life for St. Saviour parishioners can be improved by addressing road conditions, safety and late-night speeding and looking at the creation of other community areas in addition to the proposed Parish Hall Community Park.”

    Deputy Chris Leck was elected on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving him only approximately three months in office by the assessment date of 20 September 2026. No evidence was found in Jersey Evening Post, Bailiwick Express, statesassembly.je or gov.je of any proposition lodged, written question submitted, or other Assembly-level action by Leck specifically addressing St Saviour road conditions, late-night speeding, or the creation of additional community areas. The Parish Hall Community Park referenced in the promise pre-dates Leck's election and remains in a parish-level 'negotiating stages' process under Connétable Dave Curtis as of September 2026, with construction not expected until spring 2027 at earliest; this is driven by the Connétable rather than Deputies. The short time in office means the absence of progress is unremarkable rather than indicative of deliberate inaction.

  • No recorded votespecific

    Will propose simplifying residential statuses and abolishing non-qualified property designations.

    “He also proposes simplifying residential statuses and abolishing "non-qualified" property designations.”

    Chris Leck was elected Deputy for St Saviour on 7 June 2026 and the new 2026–2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving him only approximately three months in office as of the assessment date. No proposition, ministerial statement, or formal review related to simplifying residential statuses or abolishing non-qualified property designations has been identified in States Assembly records, Bailiwick Express, or any other authoritative Jersey source since the Assembly convened. The promise remains at manifesto stage only, with no evidence of legislative or procedural action taken.
