7 Pour · 8 Contre · 2 away04 Oct 2022·P.92/2022 — Cost of living crisis – measures affecting Andium Homes rent increases - 'move to next item' proposed by Deputy Inna Gardiner — Pour, voted against, not counted as a breach19-20
Voting Contre delivers this
This vote was on moving to next item to avoid debating measures affecting Andium Homes rent increases, which directly bears on affordable housing delivery without delay.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The motion was a procedural "move to next item" vote about Andium Homes rent increases during a cost-of-living debate, which concerns affordable housing costs rather than the delivery of affordable housing sites, making the link to the manifesto promise about identifying and delivering housing sites without delay too indirect to constitute a clear breach.

Voting Pour delivers this
This vote on cost of living measures affecting Andium Homes rent increases directly bears on the promise to deliver affordable housing without delay.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned delivering affordable housing sites without delay and identifying new sites, whereas this motion addressed Andium Homes rent increases during the cost of living crisis — a related but distinct matter of rental affordability rather than site delivery or identification.

Voting Pour delivers this
This Government Plan amendment on the Affordable Housing Programme (AHP scheme) directly relates to delivering affordable housing.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to deliver affordable housing sites without delay, while the motion concerns a specific amendment to the Affordable Housing Programme within the Government Plan 2024–2027, and voting against one particular scheme amendment does not unambiguously contradict a general commitment to accelerate affordable housing delivery, as the member may have had objections to the specific mechanism or funding approach rather than the goal itself.
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 — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach12-34
Voting Pour delivers this
Investing stamp duty uplift from second homes into first-time buyer funds directly advances affordable housing for first-time buyers, bearing on the promise to deliver affordable housing without delay.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns delivering affordable housing sites and identifying additional sites, while the motion addressed a specific fiscal mechanism (directing stamp duty revenue to first-time buyer funds), so voting against this particular funding measure does not straightforwardly contradict a promise about site delivery and identification.

Voting Pour delivers this
The amendment to the Social Rents Plan to Reduce Rental Stress for Tenants directly bears on affordable housing policy.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns delivering affordable housing sites without delay and identifying additional sites, while the motion is a specific amendment to a Social Rents Plan about rental stress for tenants—a related but distinct mechanism (rent levels rather than site delivery), and voting against one particular amendment does not clearly contradict a general commitment to affordable housing site delivery.
14 May 2025·P.29/2025 — Social Rental Plan to Reduce Rental Stress for Tenants (P.29-2025) as amended — Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach34-4
Voting Pour delivers this
The Social Rental Plan to Reduce Rental Stress for Tenants as amended directly advances affordable housing for residents.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to deliver affordable housing sites without delay, while the motion concerns a specific Social Rental Plan to reduce rental stress for tenants—a related but distinct policy mechanism—meaning voting against it does not plainly contradict the promise, as the member could support affordable housing through other routes.

Voting Pour delivers this
The motion on proposed use of the former Jersey Gas site relates to the promise to identify additional sites including empty public buildings.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to deliver affordable housing sites without delay and identify additional sites, while this motion concerns one specific site (the former Jersey Gas site) and a request for reconsideration of its proposed use — voting against reconsideration could reflect a judgement about that particular site's suitability or process rather than a rejection of the broader affordable housing goal.

The amendment to Meanwhile Use of the Former Gas Place Site relates to use of public buildings, touching the promise to identify additional sites.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to deliver affordable housing sites without delay and find new sites, while the motion concerns a specific amendment to a "meanwhile use" proposal for the former Gas Place site — a procedural/mechanism question about how that site is used in the interim, not a direct vote on whether to deliver affordable housing there.

Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns delivering affordable housing sites without delay and identifying additional sites, while the motion was a specific budget amendment about development levies — a distinct fiscal mechanism whose rejection does not straightforwardly contradict the general commitment to affordable housing delivery.
