AN INDEPENDENT RECORD OF EVERY PROMISE MADE IN THE STATES OF JERSEY
Visit the Guernsey edition →Deputy for St John, St Lawrence and Trinity · Independent
Deputy Chair of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (Jersey Branch) Executive committee · Vice Chair of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (Jersey Branch) Executive Committee
Hilary Louise Jeune was first elected to the States Assembly in 2022 as Deputy for St John, St Lawrence and Trinity and was re-elected to the same seat in 2026. During her first term she served as Assistant Minister for Environment and as Assistant Minister for Justice and Home Affairs, before chairing the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel from 2024 to 2026 and the Offshore Wind Review Panel over the same period. She currently holds office as Vice Chair of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (Jersey Branch) Executive Committee.
For the 2026–2030 term Jeune campaigned on themes of economic resilience, environmental sustainability and social fairness. Her specific pledges include keeping government spending in line with the Jersey economy's capacity, developing an energy strategy to ensure secure and affordable energy, and delivering the next Island Plan with affordable housing, reuse of empty homes and protection of green spaces. On social policy she committed to sustainable healthcare financing, stronger early intervention in health and social care, and greater collaboration between government, parishes, charities and businesses to support vulnerable islanders.
Before entering Jersey politics, Jeune worked with international organisations including the United Nations, the World Bank and the European Union, focusing on policy and budget work aimed at reducing inequality, protecting the environment and supporting sustainable development.

Manifesto
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. Promises no recorded vote has borne on yet are marked as untested rather than scored.

A general commitment to "improve conditions and regulation in the private rental sector" does not straightforwardly require supporting any specific rent control mechanism, as the member could reasonably favour other regulatory improvements while opposing this particular measure.

Rent control measures paragraph (a)(ii) is a direct vote on regulatory measures for the private rental market.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

Voting Pour delivers this
The main vote on abolition of interest relief for landlords (as amended) is a regulatory measure affecting private landlords and rental conditions.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While abolishing interest relief for landlords relates to the private rental sector, a general promise to "improve conditions and regulation" does not clearly commit to this specific tax measure, and a member could reasonably oppose it while still pursuing improvements through other means such as tenancy standards or rent regulation.

Part 1 of the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law changes directly relate to the regulation of the private rental sector.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to improve conditions and regulation in the private rental sector, and voting against one specific mechanism (rent increase capping) does not plainly contradict that goal, as a member could oppose this particular measure while still genuinely pursuing improvements through other means or on the grounds that capping is not the right regulatory approach.

Part 2 of the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law changes directly relate to the regulation of the private rental sector.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

Part 3 of the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law (rejected) was a further element of private rental regulation reform.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

A second amendment to the rented dwellings licensing regulations that was rejected; opposing amendments that could undermine the regulatory framework aligns with the promise.

Voting Pour delivers this
The motion directly proposes introducing residential rent controls, which is a core measure to improve conditions and regulation in the private rental sector.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "improve conditions and regulation in the private rental sector" is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific mechanism (a two-year rent control measure) does not clearly contradict it, since a member could reasonably pursue improved conditions through different regulatory approaches rather than rent controls.

Candidate will support the creation and implementation of a dementia strategy for Jersey.
“A dementia strategy.”
Jersey's first Government dementia strategy, 'Strong Foundations: A Dementia Strategy for Jersey (2024–2029)', was published on 28 June 2024 by Health and Care Jersey in partnership with Dementia Jersey, fulfilling the core commitment made by Deputy Jeune in the 2022–2026 Assembly term. A Year 1 implementation plan (July 2024 – June 2025) was also issued, setting out specific actions, responsible bodies, and funding requirements, indicating active implementation had begun before the Assembly term ended in June 2026. Jeune served in a scrutiny and assistant minister capacity rather than as Health Minister, so the strategy was principally driven by Health Minister Karen Wilson, but the commitment to support its creation was substantively realised within the term.

Candidate will advocate for the creation of a dedicated Equalities Minister for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
“Creation of an Equalities Minister for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.”
No dedicated Equalities Minister for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion was created during the 2022-2026 Assembly term - DEI responsibility instead moved from the Minister for Justice and Home Affairs to a Chief Minister delegation (R.71/2024, April 2024) to Assistant Minister Deputy Carina Alves, an administrative arrangement rather than the standalone ministerial post Jeune had promised. That outcome stands. Jeune's account is that she introduced Equality Impact Assessments for new policy developments while she held delegated DEI responsibility as Assistant Minister for Justice and Home Affairs (September 2023-January 2024) - the Government of Jersey does publish Equality Impact Evaluation Guidance (gov.je) consistent with this. Her "continued questions" claim is independently on the record: WQ.453/2025 (8 December 2025), her own written question to the Chief Minister, follows up directly on OQ.255/2025 (11 November 2025, Louise Doublet) to press for Equality Impact Evaluations becoming central to Council of Ministers decision-making and for published results and training. That is evidence of sustained, dated, documented advocacy within the tools available to her, short of the distinct ministerial post she pledged to press for.

Jersey Business Revenue Expenditure amendment concerns funding for the body that supports small businesses.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. Supporting small businesses is a general directional promise, and voting against one specific budget amendment for Jersey Business's revenue expenditure could reflect concerns about the mechanism, funding level, or other bundled matters rather than opposition to the principle of supporting small businesses.

Deputy Jeune lodged this amendment herself (11 November 2024). It inserts wording tying the Government Plan's Pillar 2 competitiveness funding specifically to "funding the delivery of the Sustainable Finance Action Plan and supporting the transition to a net-zero economy". Adopted as amended, 28 November 2024 (the amendment page itself lists the earlier scheduled "Debate date" as 26 November, but the recorded division in the Assembly's own voting feed is 28 November); she voted Pour. This is the mechanism the promise names, not context around it.

The Marine Spatial Plan directly establishes the framework for Marine Protected Areas around Jersey.

Amendment Part 1 to the Marine Spatial Plan could have altered MPA provisions; voting Contre preserves the MPA network.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports establishing Marine Protected Areas, but whether voting for or against this particular amendment to the Marine Spatial Plan better advances that goal requires an inference about the amendment's specific content and its effect on MPAs, rather than being self-evident from the promise alone.

Amendment Part 3 to the Marine Spatial Plan could have altered MPA provisions; voting Contre preserves the MPA framework.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports establishing a network of Marine Protected Areas, but whether voting against a specific amendment to a Marine Spatial Plan was the correct way to deliver that promise depends on the content and effect of that amendment, which cannot be determined from the information given alone.

Amendment Part 4 to the Marine Spatial Plan could have altered MPA provisions.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports establishing Marine Protected Areas, but whether voting for or against this particular amendment to the Marine Spatial Plan better advances that goal requires judgement about the amendment's specific contents and their effect on the overall plan, rather than being a straightforward contradiction.

Amendment Part 5 to the Marine Spatial Plan could have altered MPA provisions.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports establishing Marine Protected Areas, but whether voting against a specific amendment to a Marine Spatial Plan was the correct route to deliver that goal cannot be determined without knowing what the amendment actually proposed to change, making this a judgment about mechanism rather than principle.
Voting Contre delivers this
Second amendment to the Marine Spatial Plan could have weakened the MPA network; voting Contre preserves MPA commitments.
Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion is an amendment to an amendment of a Marine Spatial Plan, a procedural or structural measure whose specific content is not described, making it impossible to determine that voting for it contradicts a general promise to support Marine Protected Areas.

Candidate will hold regular constituency surgeries across all three parishes.
“I will listen to you and hold regular surgeries in all 3 parishes.”
Jersey's own States Assembly "What's on" events listing shows a recurring, roughly monthly "St. John, St. Lawrence and Trinity Constituency Drop-in" rotating through all three parish halls, staffed by the constituency's deputies as available - including a session at St. Lawrence Parish Hall on 26 February 2025, filling the gap in this verdict's original evidence (St. John, October 2024; Trinity, December 2023). Combined with the Assembly's own live listing showing the same rotation continuing into the 2026-2030 term, this supports a genuine, ongoing practice of surgeries across all three parishes rather than a sporadic one.
Candidate will work towards an effective and balanced population policy for Jersey.

Reduction in residency requirement for entitlement to work bears directly on population policy and balanced workforce management.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. A general promise to work toward a "balanced population policy" does not specify whether residency-requirement reductions are part of or contrary to that balance, so voting against this particular measure is not a clear contradiction of the promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
Amendments to Control of Housing and Work residential and employment status regulations are a direct element of population policy.
Candidate will promote greater cross-sector collaboration to address key social issues.
“Greater collaboration across the public/private/third sectors to find innovative solutions to key social issues.”
Deputy Jeune held no direct social policy ministerial brief during the 2022–2026 term that would have allowed her to drive cross-sector collaboration from within government; her principal contributions were indirect — she served as Deputy Chair of JAYF (youth homelessness charity), filed a written question in July 2025 (WQ.291/2025) pressing the Chief Minister on a commissioning framework for charities and the wider voluntary sector, and chaired the EHI Scrutiny Panel from February 2024. Broader cross-sector progress did occur in Jersey during the term — the Association of Jersey Charities published the 'Power of Partnerships' report in March 2025, the Government published its Commissioning and Partnership Model 2026–2030 in January 2026, and a multi-party sector consultation ran throughout 2024–2025 — but this activity was driven primarily by the government and the AJC rather than by Deputy Jeune personally. Her advocacy and scrutiny role aligned with the spirit of the promise, but substantive delivery of the cross-sector collaboration commitment cannot be attributed to her directly.
Candidate commits to working collaboratively with all Assembly members to develop impactful policies.
“I will be accessible, approachable, constructive, and collaborative working with all Members to develop impactful policies.”
During the 2022–2026 Assembly term, Deputy Jeune held both executive and scrutiny roles, demonstrating active cross-member collaboration throughout. She served as Assistant Environment Minister and then as Assistant Minister for Justice and Home Affairs (September 2023–January 2024), before chairing the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure (EHI) Scrutiny Panel from February 2024 until the end of the term, during which her panel engaged ministers, lodged amendments to the Government Plan, and conducted multiple public hearings and reviews. Independent reporting by the Jersey Evening Post in June 2026 credited her scrutiny work — specifically citing her intervention on the Residential Tenancy Law — as evidence of impactful, collaborative engagement with other members across government and scrutiny functions.
Candidate will advocate for an ethical, socially conscious and sustainable public procurement policy.
“An ethical/socially conscious/sustainable public procurement policy.”
The Government of Jersey's Commercial Services directorate did embed a Social Value Standard and environmental sustainability criteria into its procurement toolkit during the 2022–2026 Assembly term, with the gov.je Commercial Services strategy explicitly calling for environmentally sustainable procurement practices linked to the Carbon Neutral Roadmap. However, the Public Accounts Committee's July 2025 report (P.A.C.2/2025) found that social value reporting remained insufficiently transparent and publicly accessible, that SME economic contributions were not factored into procurement scoring, and that local businesses and charities were still being disadvantaged by the complexity of procurement processes — all areas central to Jeune's manifesto commitment. No evidence was found of Deputy Jeune herself lodging a proposition or scrutiny review specifically targeting ethical/sustainable procurement; she served as Chair of the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel from February 2024, a remit that did not cover commercial procurement directly.
