  “On population, greater use should be made of the 9-month visa. We need solutions to accommodate seasonal staff.” — Helen Mary Miles, 2022-2026 election manifesto

  As Minister for Home Affairs (July 2022 – January 2024), Deputy Miles went beyond the 9-month visa pledge by announcing in February 2023 and implementing a new 12-month renewable hospitality work permit (extendable up to three years), while explicitly retaining the 9-month route as a parallel employer option; a February 2026 government blog confirmed both routes remain active. However, the second limb of her promise — finding solutions to accommodate seasonal staff — was not substantively delivered: Jersey's April 2024 Fiscal Policy Panel housing review noted that registered accommodation for seasonal workers had declined and overcrowding risks remained, with no dedicated seasonal worker housing scheme introduced during the 2022-2026 term.

• Prioritise local candidates for civil service roles, with off-island appointments only after 12 months if no suitable local candidate is found.

  “Local candidates should be sought for civil service jobs – only if a suitable person can't be appointed or trained within 12 months should off-Island appointments be considered.” — Helen Mary Miles, 2022-2026 election manifesto

  No evidence was found that Deputy Miles lodged a proposition, secured a ministerial direction, or otherwise advanced a formal policy requiring local candidates to be prioritised for civil service roles with off-island appointments only considered after 12 months. Miles served as Minister for Justice and Home Affairs (July 2022–January 2024) and then chaired the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel (February 2024–June 2026), neither of which carries direct responsibility for civil service recruitment policy. The Government's Common Strategic Policy 2024–2026 (P.21/2024) included a broader commitment to 'develop local talent within the civil service,' and the States Employment Board introduced an external recruitment freeze from August 2023, extended to March 2026 — but these were cost-cutting measures, not the specific 12-month local-first sequencing rule Miles had promised, and were not attributable to her.
