Jersey States Member Scorecard
Deputy for St Saviour · Independent
Will strongly defend the role of Connétables in the States Assembly.
Kept“I stand for strengthening Parishes and commit to strongly defend the role of Connétable in the States.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Will publish a radical housing plan in the coming weeks to address the Island's housing shortage.
No recorded vote yet“I will be publishing a radical plan to address this in the coming weeks.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
No published 'radical housing plan' by Deputy Ozouf was found in any authoritative Jersey source across the entire 2022–2026 Assembly term. Upon election he was appointed Minister for External Relations (July 2022 – January 2024), a role unrelated to housing, and his subsequent Assembly activity on housing was limited to oral questions and Budget amendments on stamp duty. His political career ended when he was convicted of immigration offences and sentenced to 120 hours of community service in February 2026 (Jersey Evening Post, 5–6 February 2026), after which he did not contest the 2026 election.
Will conduct a full review of St Saviour parish finances and functions to ensure affordable rates.
No recorded vote yet“With the Constable I would undertake a full review of St Saviour finances and functions to ensure services are affordable through domestic and commercial rates.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
No evidence was found in any authoritative Jersey source — including statesassembly.je, gov.je, the Jersey Evening Post, Bailiwick Express, or the Parish of St Saviour's own website — of a formal review of St Saviour's finances and functions being undertaken jointly by Deputy Ozouf and the Constable at any point during the 2022–2026 term. Ozouf's attention during the term was largely consumed by his role as Minister for External Relations (July 2022–January 2024) and a series of personal and legal crises, including being summoned to the Petty Debts Court over an unpaid St Saviour parish rates bill in December 2022, two criminal convictions in 2025, and two Assembly suspensions; he did not stand in the 2026 election. Parish rates and expenditure decisions continued through standard annual rates assemblies with no reported connection to any joint review promised in the manifesto.
Will push to cut spending on outside consultants and redirect savings to recruit frontline workers.
Abstained on“Control spending. The money wasted is typified by £millions spent on outside consultants. Savings need to be made to free up resources to recruit more carers, nurses, teachers, and the frontline workers that islanders need.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Will pursue restarting a proposal to cut the marginal rate of income tax for lower and middle earners.
Broken“My proposal to cut the marginal rate of tax should be re-started to help the lowest and middle earners.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Will support introducing a Social Security exemption limit to ease costs for the self-employed.
Mixed“A Social Security exemption limit will help the self employed and many who are suffering with rising costs.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Will oppose the single-site Overdale hospital and advocate for a dual-site plan with Gloucester Street and Overdale.
Broken“The proposed single site Overdale is an expensive hilltop folly. It's clear a dual-site on an expanded Gloucester Street with day-care, mental-health and convalescence located at Overdale is a much more affordable plan, that needs to be accelerated without delay.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Will base his office in St Saviour parish and hold regular constituency surgeries.
No recorded vote yet“My office will be in the Parish, hold regular surgeries and will be available for you.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Ozouf's registered parliamentary office address was listed on statesassembly.je as Morier House, Halkett Place, St Helier — not a dedicated parish office in St Saviour as promised. However, the St Saviour parish website confirmed that Deputies (as a collective) held regular surgeries throughout 2023 at the Parish Hall and Georgetown Methodist Church, suggesting some participation in constituency surgeries during the earlier part of the term. The promise was never fully delivered: no independent evidence of a personal, dedicated St Saviour office emerged, the term was severely disrupted by two suspensions (September and November 2025) and criminal convictions, and Ozouf stepped down from politics entirely ahead of the June 2026 election.
Will work to develop and implement the first St Saviour Parish Plan covering housing, traffic and footpaths.
No recorded vote yet“Working together we can develop and implement the first St Saviour's plan that meets the needs of our parish's future in housing, traffic, foot-paths and more.” — Philip Francis Cyril Ozouf, 2022-2026 election manifesto
No evidence was found across Jersey sources (statesassembly.je, stsaviour.je, Jersey Evening Post, Bailiwick Express, ITV Channel) of a St Saviour Parish Plan covering housing, traffic and footpaths being developed or implemented during the 2022–2026 Assembly term. Ozouf's tenure was severely disrupted: he lost his ministerial role in January 2024 following a vote of no confidence, was convicted of motoring offences in February 2025, pleaded guilty to immigration offences in October 2025 leading to two Assembly suspensions, was sentenced to 120 hours of community service in February 2026, and stood down from politics at the June 2026 election without having advanced this parish-level commitment.
