Voting Pour delivers this
Affordable Housing Programme scheme amendment directly bears on prioritising social housing and affordable properties for first-time buyers.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise commits to prioritising social and affordable housing generally, but voting against one specific amendment to a Government Plan's affordable housing scheme is not plainly the same as opposing that goal, since the member could prefer a different mechanism or have objections to the particular terms of this amendment.
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 — Pour, voted to deliver12-34

Le Squez Government Plan amendment directly bears on social housing provision, advancing the promise on social housing prioritisation.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to prioritise social housing and affordable properties, while the motion is a specific budget amendment concerning Le Squez development funding, and voting against one particular funding measure does not necessarily contradict a general commitment to prioritise social housing, as the member may have had reasons related to mechanism, cost, or alternative approach.

Voting Pour delivers this
Increasing assets and savings threshold for the Affordable Housing Gateway directly bears on access to affordable housing for first-time buyers.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise calls for prioritising social housing and affordable properties for first-time buyers generally, but the motion concerned a specific administrative mechanism (the assets and savings threshold for the Affordable Housing Gateway), and a member could reasonably vote against this particular threshold adjustment while still genuinely pursuing the broader goal of affordable housing provision through other means.

Voting Contre delivers this
This amendment to the empty residential properties amendment, if adopted, could weaken measures to bring empty homes back into use, working against increasing affordable housing supply.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns prioritising social housing and affordable properties for first-time buyers, while the motion is a specific amendment about empty residential properties within a broader budget, making it unclear whether voting against this particular amendment was the only or best route to honouring that general commitment.

10 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd. — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): amendment. Development Levies — Contre15-27
Development levies could be a mechanism to fund affordable housing or social housing, tangentially bearing on the promise to prioritise social and affordable housing.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to prioritise social housing and affordable properties is a general directional commitment, while this motion concerned a specific amendment about development levies within a broader budget, and voting against one particular funding mechanism does not straightforwardly contradict the underlying housing affordability goal.
