AN INDEPENDENT RECORD OF EVERY PROMISE MADE IN THE STATES OF JERSEY
Visit the Guernsey edition →Deputy for St Helier Central · Reform Jersey
Chair of Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel
Lyndsay Feltham was first elected to the States Assembly in 2022 as Deputy for St Helier Central, and was re-elected to the same seat in 2026 with Reform Jersey. In her first term she served as Chair of the Public Accounts Committee, Vice Chair of the Future Hospital Review Panel, Chair of the Machinery of Government Review Sub-Committee, and as a member of the Privileges and Procedures Committee. She subsequently served as Minister for Social Security from 2024 to 2026. Since 2026 she has held the position of Chair of the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel.
Feltham stood for re-election on a platform of fairness and practical representation for St Helier Central, a constituency she describes as home to families, pensioners, renters, and people from diverse backgrounds. Her stated priorities for the 2026–2030 term centre on the cost of living, decent and secure housing, support for families, dignity for pensioners and disabled Islanders, and improved pay and conditions for workers. She also pledged to remain accessible and active in the district, ensuring St Helier Central is strongly represented in the Assembly.
Feltham notes a family connection to public service in the district, with her mother having previously served the Rouge Bouillon area as Deputy.

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.

Third Reading of the Rented Dwellings Licensing Regulations is the final adoption of the landlord licensing scheme directly promised.

The eleventh amendment to the Rented Dwellings Licensing Regulations bears directly on the scope and strength of the landlord licensing scheme promised.
Voting Pour delivers this
Regulation 2 of the Rented Dwellings Licensing Regulations (amendment to amendment) bears directly on the scope of the landlord licensing scheme promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The member promised to introduce a landlord licensing scheme, and this motion concerns licensing regulations for rented dwellings, but the vote is on a specific amendment to an amendment (Amendment 11 to the draft Regulations), and voting against one particular amendment to the scheme's regulations does not necessarily contradict supporting the scheme itself, as the member may have opposed this specific amendment while still backing the overall licensing framework.
Voting Pour delivers this
Regulation 2 amendment (Amd 11 Amd 2) of the Rented Dwellings Licensing Regulations bears on the landlord licensing scheme promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The member promised to introduce a landlord licensing scheme, and this motion concerns such a scheme, but it is an amendment to an amendment of a specific regulation, and voting against one particular amendment within the legislative detail of a licensing scheme does not necessarily contradict the broader commitment to introduce landlord licensing.

Residential rent controls directly target tenant protection, which overlaps with the landlord licensing scheme's goal of protecting tenants, though the mechanism differs.
An amendment on empty residential properties touches on housing regulation and landlord accountability, which is adjacent to a landlord licensing scheme.

This vote amends the composition of the Rent Tribunal, a body central to rent regulation, directly bearing on promise to pursue proper rent regulation.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns "proper rent regulation" broadly, while this motion concerns the specific composition of the Rent Tribunal — a procedural/structural detail that a member could reasonably oppose while still pursuing rent regulation through other means or a differently constituted body.
Voting Pour delivers this
Parts 2-4 of the Rent Tribunal composition amendment further reform the rent regulation body that underpins the housing crisis action plan promise.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise commits to "proper rent regulation" broadly, but the motion concerns the specific composition of the Rent Tribunal — a procedural/structural matter about tribunal membership rather than the principle of rent regulation itself — so voting against this particular amendment does not plainly contradict the promise to pursue rent regulation.
Voting Pour delivers this
The final vote on the amended Rent Tribunal composition proposition directly tests support for reforming the rent regulation infrastructure promised.
Voting Contre delivers this
A motion to move to next item on Andium Homes rent increases would have blocked debate on limiting social housing rent rises, working against the housing crisis action plan promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
This vote directly concerns measures affecting Andium Homes rent increases, a core element of a Housing Crisis Action Plan aimed at rent regulation.
Voting Pour delivers this
Referring back the Rent Control Tribunal chair/member nominations bears on proper governance of rent regulation machinery promised.

Part 1 of stamp duty increases on buy-to-let and second homes directly supports first-time buyers as promised.
Voting Pour delivers this
Part 2 of stamp duty increases on buy-to-let investments and second homes bears on first-time buyer support promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise was to pursue rent regulation and first-time buyer support as part of a Housing Crisis Action Plan, while this motion concerned a specific stamp duty measure on buy-to-let and second homes — a related but distinct mechanism whose rejection does not straightforwardly contradict the broader, general promise to pursue housing reform.
Voting Pour delivers this
Ringfencing stamp duty for housing purposes directly supports the housing crisis action plan promise of funding for housing measures.

Mortgage repayment assistance directly supports first-time buyers and homeowners under financial stress, bearing on the housing crisis action plan promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
Abolition of interest relief for landlords is a direct measure to level the playing field for first-time buyers, bearing on the housing crisis action plan promise.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned rent regulation and first-time buyer support as part of a broad Housing Crisis Action Plan, while this motion specifically concerned abolishing interest relief for landlords — a related but distinct fiscal mechanism whose connection to rent regulation or first-time buyer support requires inferential steps rather than being self-evident from the promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
The amended abolition of interest relief for landlords directly supports first-time buyers as promised in the housing action plan.
Voting Pour delivers this
The Affordable Home Purchase scheme amendment directly supports first-time buyers as committed to in the housing crisis action plan.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns rent regulation and first-time buyer support as part of a broad Housing Crisis Action Plan, while this motion concerns a specific Affordable Housing Programme (AHP) scheme amendment to the Government Plan, and voting against one particular AHP funding or scheme mechanism does not straightforwardly contradict a general manifesto commitment to housing reform, as the member may have opposed this specific implementation while pursuing the broader goal through other means.
Voting Pour delivers this
Investing stamp duty revenue from second homes into first-time buyer funds directly delivers the promise's specific commitment to support for first-time buyers.
Voting Contre delivers this
Removal of stamp duty surcharge on second homes would undermine first-time buyer support by easing competition from investors, contrary to the housing action plan promise.
Voting Contre delivers this
Stamp duty exemption amendment would reduce costs for property investors, working against first-time buyer prioritisation promised.
Voting Pour delivers this
Increasing stamp duty for properties not used as principal residences directly supports first-time buyers over investors as promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned rent regulation and first-time buyer support as part of a Housing Crisis Action Plan, while the motion addressed a specific stamp duty increase on non-principal residences — a related but distinct policy instrument that the member could reasonably oppose on grounds other than rejecting the broader housing promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
Amendment to a Social Rents Plan to Reduce Rental Stress for Tenants directly delivers on the rent regulation aspect of the housing crisis action plan.
Voting Pour delivers this
The Social Rental Plan to Reduce Rental Stress for Tenants directly delivers on the rent regulation and tenant support promised.
Voting Pour delivers this
Increasing assets/savings threshold for the Affordable Housing Gateway expands access to affordable housing support promised for first-time buyers.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns rent regulation and first-time buyer support as part of a broad Housing Crisis Action Plan, while the motion specifically addresses the assets and savings threshold for the Affordable Housing Gateway — a related but distinct mechanism that the member could reasonably oppose without abandoning the overall housing promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
Amendment 3 to the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law advances tenant protection and rent regulation promised.
Voting Pour delivers this
Third Reading of the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law is the final vote delivering on rent regulation and tenant protection promised.
Voting Pour delivers this
Principles vote on the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law is a direct test of support for the rent regulation and tenant protection legislation promised.
Voting Pour delivers this
Amendment to the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law bears directly on rental regulation and tenant protection promised in the housing crisis action plan.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports rent regulation generally, but voting against a specific amendment to an amendment of the Residential Tenancy Law could reflect a preference for a different formulation or mechanism rather than opposition to rent regulation itself, making a breach non-obvious without knowing the amendment's precise content relative to the promised policy.
Voting Pour delivers this
Part 1 of the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law proceedings directly advances rental regulation promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. Although the motion concerns rent regulation, which the promise explicitly named, a member could vote against this particular rent-capping mechanism while still pursuing "proper rent regulation" through a different approach, so rejecting one specific amendment does not unambiguously contradict the broader manifesto commitment.
Voting Pour delivers this
Part 2 of the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law directly advances tenant protection and rent regulation promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While the motion concerns residential tenancy law and is related to rent regulation, voting against one specific amendment about periodic tenancies does not clearly contradict a general manifesto commitment to "proper rent regulation," as the member could oppose this particular mechanism while still pursuing the broader goal through other means.
Voting Pour delivers this
Part 3 of the Residential Tenancy Amendment Law advances rental regulation and tenant protection promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is to pursue "proper rent regulation" as part of a broad Housing Crisis Action Plan, but this motion concerns a specific mechanism (civil penalties) within a tenancy amendment law, and voting against one particular enforcement provision does not necessarily contradict a general commitment to rent regulation — the member could oppose this specific penalty mechanism while still supporting rent regulation overall.
Voting Pour delivers this
Adopted Part 1 of Residential Tenancy Amendment Law directly delivers on rent regulation and tenant protection promised.

An amendment on empty residential properties addresses housing supply and regulation, which materially bears on the Housing Crisis Action Plan commitment.
Voting Contre delivers this
Reinstating mortgage interest tax relief would primarily benefit existing property investors rather than first-time buyers, working against the promise's focus on first-time buyer support and rent regulation.
Voting Pour delivers this
This amendment to the mortgage interest tax relief amendment would modify or soften the reinstatement; supporting it over the main amendment aligns with protecting first-time buyer interests.
Voting Pour delivers this
Appointment of Rent Tribunal Chair, Deputy Chair and Members is essential to making the rent regulation machinery promised actually function.
Voting Pour delivers this
Removal of interest tax relief for buy-to-let mortgages supports first-time buyers over landlord investors, bearing directly on the housing action plan promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
Affordable housing provision at the Waterfront directly advances first-time buyer support and affordable housing supply promised in the action plan.
Voting Contre delivers this
This amendment sought to remove the stamp duty surcharge on second homes; voting against it preserves a measure that makes the housing market less competitive against first-time buyers, aligning with the promise's housing action goals.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns rent regulation and first-time buyer support, while this motion is specifically about removing a stamp duty surcharge on second homes—a distinct mechanism not named in the promise, and opposing it is only one possible route toward the general goal of housing affordability.
Voting Pour delivers this
Part 3 of stamp duty increase on buy-to-let and second homes directly supports first-time buyers as part of the promised housing action plan.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned rent regulation and first-time buyer support as part of a broader Housing Crisis Action Plan, while this motion specifically concerned stamp duty on buy-to-let investments, second homes, and holiday homes — a related but distinct mechanism that a member could reasonably reject while still pursuing the promised housing reforms through other means.
Voting Contre delivers this
Removing the 3% stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second homes would reduce the competitive disadvantage faced by first-time buyers, so voting against this removal supports the housing regulation promise.
Voting Pour delivers this
This amendment to introduce residential rent controls for two years directly advances the promise's commitment to pursuing proper rent regulation.

Rent-a-room tax relief is a housing market measure that tangentially relates to housing affordability within the broader housing crisis action plan.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns rent regulation and first-time buyer support, while this motion is specifically about rent-a-room tax relief — a distinct mechanism in a different area of housing policy — so voting against it does not straightforwardly contradict the manifesto commitment.
Minimum residential space standards (paragraph c) touch on tenant protection quality measures within the broader housing promise.
Rent-a-room tax relief amendment in the Government Plan is a housing market detail tangentially connected to housing affordability.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise supports rent regulation generally, but whether voting against a specific "rent a room" amendment to the Government Plan was the correct mechanism to deliver that promise requires inference about how this particular provision relates to broader rent regulation policy.
Minimum residential space standards (paragraph b) relate to housing quality aspects that touch the housing crisis action plan's tenant protection aims.
Minimum residential space standards (paragraph a) relate to housing quality within the broader housing crisis action plan.
Pets in rental properties (as amended) is a tenant protection measure that partially relates to the broader tenant protection promised in the housing action plan.

Pre-sale agreements for standard residential property transactions as amended touch housing market fairness relevant to first-time buyer support.

The Health Insurance Fund Transfer amendment relates to funding mechanisms that underpin free or subsidised GP access promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to make GP visits free at the point of need, while this motion concerns a specific amendment about a Health Insurance Fund transfer within a Government Plan, and voting against one particular funding mechanism does not necessarily contradict the overall goal of free GP access.

Funding for medical hosiery and wound dressings relates to reducing out-of-pocket healthcare costs, touching the broader promise of free healthcare at the point of need.
Increasing the share of Social Security contributions allocated to the Health Insurance Fund could support funding for free GP visits, bearing indirectly on the promise.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is to make GP visits free at the point of need, while the motion concerns a specific, incremental funding mechanism (raising the Health Insurance Fund allocation from 2% to 2.5%), and a member could reasonably oppose this particular fiscal measure while still pursuing the broader goal through alternative means.

Reporting on headcount and vacancies (paragraph a) advances transparency over public sector staffing, relevant to the promise to identify and reduce public sector waste.

An audit of Government Department vacancies directly supports identifying public sector waste and inefficiency as promised.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. While an audit of government department vacancies could relate to identifying public sector waste, voting against this specific procedural mechanism does not plainly contradict a general promise to reduce waste, as the member could reasonably prefer different means of achieving that goal.

Transferring 2024 departmental underspend to the Stabilisation Fund is a fiscal discipline measure related to the promise to reduce waste and manage public funds responsibly.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to reduce waste and redirect funds to frontline services, while the motion concerned a specific procedural mechanism—transferring departmental underspends into the Stabilisation Fund rather than directly into frontline services—so voting against it does not plainly contradict the promise, as a member could reasonably prefer the funds be directed differently.
Voting Pour delivers this
Curbing growth of public sector through an end-to-end review of government processes directly advances the promise to reduce public sector waste.
Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to reduce public sector waste, while the motion proposed one specific mechanism (an end-to-end review of government processes); a member could vote against this particular review while still honestly pursuing waste reduction through different means or on the grounds that this specific mechanism was flawed or unnecessary.
Voting Contre delivers this
Opposing savings cuts applied to the Office of the Children's Commissioner protects a frontline children's service, consistent with the promise to redirect funds to frontline services.
