Robert Parker

Deputy for St Saviour · Independent

Assistant Minister for Treasury and Resources

Robert Parker

Robert Parker was first elected to the States Assembly in 2026 as Deputy for St Saviour. He has served as Assistant Minister for Treasury and Resources since 2026.

For his 2026–2030 term, Parker campaigned on addressing Jersey's economic challenges through practical action rather than consultancy-led strategies. His key pledges included lowering personal taxes and reducing the cost of living, supporting small businesses and the hospitality industry, reviewing States decisions that undermine the competitiveness of Jersey's industries, and pursuing an action-based economic approach in place of reliance on consultancy reports.

Parker spent around forty years running the Hotel de France, during which he led major redevelopments including the conversion of the Lido into a medical centre and the launch of Healthhaus. Before that, he trained as an accountant with Coopers & Lybrand and worked in financial oversight roles at Gulf + Western and Paramount Pictures International, including auditing film productions in Italy. He has also served in voluntary industry roles, including as Senior Vice-President and Treasurer of the Jersey Hotel and Guest House Association and as founding Chairman of the Jersey Conference Bureau, as well as sitting on the Tourism Board and Airport Advisory Board.

Turnout in the States Assembly — 2026–2030 Assembly

The States Assembly records a reason against every non-vote, so being ill, off-island, on parental leave or barred by a declared interest can be told apart from simply not turning up. Absences with an accepted reason are removed from both sides of the rate rather than held against the member.

5 votes in 2026–2030 Assembly so far — fewer than the 10 needed before this scorecard will publish a participation rate. The record to date:

Manifesto

Promises, and how they voted — 2026–2030 Assembly

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. Where no recorded vote bears on a promise, an AI delivery verdict assesses progress against the public record.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Reinstating the States Grant to the Social Security Fund would reduce the fiscal burden on contributors (employees and employers), bearing on the promise to lower personal taxes and reduce cost of living.

      Considered and set aside: this vote has not been adjudicated as a clear breach.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will push to review States decisions that undermine the competitiveness of Jersey's industries.

    “We need to restore value for money to Jersey and review States decisions that are inadvertently undermining the competitiveness of our industries.”

    Deputy Robert Parker was elected for St Saviour on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026 — only approximately 14 weeks before the assessment date of 26 September 2026. No independent evidence was found of Parker lodging a proposition, joining a relevant scrutiny panel, or initiating any formal review of States decisions affecting industrial competitiveness. Post-election reporting (Jersey Evening Post, 10 June 2026) recorded only that he was looking forward to 'rolling up his sleeves' and had no specific role in mind, with no subsequent reporting of concrete action on this commitment.

  • No recorded voteaspirational

    Candidate will support small businesses and the hospitality industry if elected.

    “I am a strong supporter of small businesses and acutely aware of the pressures on our hospitality industry.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Robert Parker was elected for St Saviour in June 2026 on a platform that included support for small businesses and the hospitality industry, drawing on his 40-year background running the Hotel de France (Bailiwick Express, May 2026). By early July 2026 he had been appointed Assistant Treasury Minister with specific responsibility for procurement (Jersey Evening Post, 1 July 2026), a role adjacent to but not directly focused on small business or hospitality support. No independent reporting up to 26 September 2026 surfaced any specific propositions, ministerial statements, or policy actions by Parker targeting small businesses or the hospitality sector; however, the Assembly has been sitting for only approximately 100 days, making 'outstanding' a reflection of the short timeframe rather than any evidence of abandonment.

    • 08 Sept 2026·P.63/2026 — Reinstate the States Grant to the Social Security Fund (P.63-2026) — Contre6-41

      Reinstating the States Grant to the Social Security Fund could ease employer contribution pressures on small businesses in the hospitality sector, partially touching the promise to support small businesses and the hospitality industry.

      Shown as context only: the link to this promise is too weak to grade.
