Deputy for Grouville and St Martin · Independent

Stephen George Luce

Stephen Luce was first elected to the States Assembly as Deputy of St Martin in 2011. During his time in the Assembly he chaired various Scrutiny Panels, served on the Legislation Advisory Panel and the Planning Committee, and held the office of Minister for Planning and Environment. He also represented Jersey in meetings with senior government ministers from Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. For the 2022–2026 term he sat as Deputy for Grouville and St Martin. He did not continue into the 2026–2030 Assembly.

For the 2022–2026 term, Luce campaigned on restoring trust in government and delivering better value for taxpayers' money. His specific pledges included more careful management of public finances, open and transparent government, sensible population management and measures to address the housing crisis, making healthcare more affordable while increasing frontline staff, building a new hospital at the right location and cost, and prioritising education so that young people could reach their full potential.

Luce spent his working life in Jersey's agriculture and aquaculture industries, owning and managing Luce Farms Ltd, the Jersey Oyster Company and a free-range egg enterprise. He has served with the St Catherine's Lifeboat since 1988 and held numerous honorary positions in and outside St Martin, including roles with the Jersey Chamber of Commerce and the Jersey Farmers Union Council.

Attendance

Turnout in the States Assembly — 2022–2026 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.

These 14 ballots are removed from both sides of the rate, not counted as absences. Each is a vote the member either could not cast or was barred from casting. Declaring an interest is the member doing the right thing, and marking them down for it would penalise exactly the behaviour a scorecard should encourage. Reasons are the States Assembly’s own, as published in its voting record.

Manifesto

Promises, and how they voted — 2022–2026 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. Promises no recorded vote has borne on yet are marked as untested rather than scored.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Health Insurance Fund Transfer amendment bears on funding healthcare, directly relating to healthcare affordability.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to make healthcare more affordable and increase frontline staff, while the motion concerns a specific amendment about a Health Insurance Fund transfer within the Government Plan, and voting against one particular funding mechanism does not straightforwardly contradict the broader promise without inferring that this specific transfer was necessary to deliver it.

    • 14 Dec 2022P.97/2022(Amd)(4) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): fourth amendment HIF Transfers (P.97/2022 Amd.(4))Absent, did not take a side31-13

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Multi-morbidity GP consultations amendment directly addresses making healthcare more affordable and accessible for patients with multiple conditions.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to make doctors more affordable and increase frontline staff is a general directional commitment, while this motion concerns one specific funding mechanism (multi-morbidity GP consultations) within the Government Plan, and a member could reasonably oppose this particular amendment while still pursuing the broader affordability goal through other means.

    • 14 Dec 2022P.97/2022(Amd)(18) — Proposed Government Plan 2023-2026 (P.97/2022): eighteenth amendment Free GP visits for children and young peoplePour, voted to deliver24-22

      Free GP visits for children and young people directly advances healthcare affordability for families.

    • 14 Jun 2023·P.19/2023 — Health and Community Services Interim Board as amendedContre, voted against, not counted as a breach28-16

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Health and Community Services Interim Board as amended relates to governance of health services, bearing on healthcare delivery.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion concerns the establishment or amendment of a Health and Community Services Interim Board — a governance and management structure — which does not directly bear on the promise to make doctors more affordable or increase frontline nursing staff numbers.

    • 12 Dec 2023P.72/2023 Amd.(29).Amd — Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): twenty-ninth amendment (P.72/2023 Amd.(29)) – amendment. Funding of Acute Cardiac Nursing.Pour, voted to deliver49-0

      Voting Contre delivers this

      Freeze on Public Health staff appointments would reduce frontline staff; voting Contre advances the promise of increasing frontline staff numbers.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned making doctors more affordable and increasing frontline NHS staff, while this motion specifically imposed a freeze on Public Health staff appointments—a related but distinct category—and a member could reasonably judge that a freeze on some administrative or public-health posts was compatible with, or even supportive of, redirecting resources toward frontline clinical staff.

    • 30 Apr 2024P.20/2024 — In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) FundingPour, voted to deliver44-1

    • 17 Jul 2024·P.43/2024 — New Healthcare Facilities Programme Paragraph (b)Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach15-29

      Voting Pour delivers this

      New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (b) relates to healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns affordability of doctors and increasing frontline staff numbers, while the motion concerns a New Healthcare Facilities Programme, which is a capital/infrastructure matter; voting against one specific facilities programme paragraph does not straightforwardly contradict a commitment about staffing levels and affordability without further inference about how the programme relates to those goals.

    • 17 Jul 2024·P.43/2024 — New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a)Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach13-30

      Voting Pour delivers this

      New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a) directly relates to developing healthcare facilities bearing on the commitment.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The promise concerns affordability of doctors and increasing frontline NHS staff numbers, while the motion concerns a "New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a)," which relates to capital infrastructure rather than staffing levels or healthcare costs, making the link too indirect to constitute a breach.

    • 28 Nov 2024·P.51/2024 Amd.(6) — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2025-2028: sixth amendment. New Healthcare Facilities Programme expenditureContre, voted against, not counted as a breach17-28

      Voting Pour delivers this

      New Healthcare Facilities Programme expenditure sixth amendment bears on healthcare funding and facilities development.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns healthcare affordability and frontline staffing levels, while this motion concerns capital expenditure on new healthcare facilities, which is a different mechanism (infrastructure spending) rather than a direct decision on staff numbers, management levels, or the cost of accessing doctors.

    • 30 Sept 2025·P.52/2025 Amd. — Health and Care Jersey Advisory Board and Partnership Board (P.52-2025) - AmendmentContre, voted against, not counted as a breach16-30

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Health and Care Jersey Advisory Board and Partnership Board amendment relates to healthcare governance and service delivery.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion concerns the structure and membership of Health and Care Jersey advisory and partnership boards, which is a governance/procedural matter, not directly related to the promise about making doctors more affordable or increasing frontline staff numbers.

    • 30 Sept 2025P.52/2025 — Paragraph (a)Pour, voted to deliver45-0

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Health and Care Jersey Advisory Board paragraph (a) relates to healthcare governance structures.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Health and Care Jersey Advisory Board paragraph (b) relates to healthcare governance.

    • 10 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(28)(re-issue). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): twenty-eighth amendment. Funding for respite care, Part (2)Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach8-32

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Redirecting funds into palliative and respite care directly bears on healthcare provision and frontline care services.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns making doctors more affordable and increasing frontline nursing staff, while this motion specifically concerns redirecting assisted dying funding into palliative and respite care — a related but distinct policy area requiring an inference to connect the vote to the promise.

    • 12 Dec 2023·P.72/2023 Amd.(30).Amd.(2) — Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): thirtieth amendment (P.72/2023 Amd.(30)) – second amendment. Freeze on Public Health Staff AppointmentsPour, voted against, not counted as a breach49-0

      Voting Contre delivers this

      Freeze on Public Health Staff Appointments second amendment would restrict frontline staffing; voting Contre advances the promise of more frontline staff.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is to increase frontline staff numbers, and voting Pour on a freeze on public health staff appointments works against that goal, but the motion concerns a freeze broadly on "public health staff" rather than specifying frontline clinical staff versus management, so a member could plausibly support it believing it targeted non-frontline or administrative roles while still pursuing the underlying promise.

    • 12 Dec 2023P.72/2023 Amd.(6).Amd — Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): sixth amendment (P.72/2023 Amd.(6)) – amendment. Medical Hosiery and wound dressing funding.Pour, voted to deliver49-0

      Medical Hosiery and wound dressing funding amendment directly relates to affordable healthcare provision.

    • 11 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(2). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): second amendment. Health Insurance Fund ContributionsContre, voted against, not counted as a breach14-28

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Raising the share of Social Security contributions to the Health Insurance Fund increases resources for healthcare funding, bearing on healthcare affordability.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to make doctors more affordable is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific funding mechanism (raising the Health Insurance Fund's share of Social Security contributions by 0.5%) does not straightforwardly contradict it, as the member could oppose this particular fiscal measure while pursuing the goal through other means.

    • 10 Dec 2025·P.70/2025 Amd.(28)(re-issue). — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 (P.70/2025): twenty-eighth amendment. Funding for respite care, Part (1)Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach9-31

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Part 1 of the amendment to redirect assisted dying funds into palliative and respite care bears on healthcare provision commitments.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned making doctors more affordable and increasing frontline NHS staff, while this motion specifically concerned redirecting assisted dying service funding to palliative and respite care — a related but distinct healthcare spending choice that requires an inferential chain to connect to the original promise.

    • 12 Dec 2023·P.72/2023 Amd.(18) — Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): eighteenth amendment. Free GP visits for all full time studentsContre, voted against, not counted as a breach24-20

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Funding free GP visits for full-time students directly makes healthcare more affordable, aligning squarely with the promise to make healthcare more affordable.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to make doctors more affordable is directional, and voting against one specific mechanism (free GP visits for full-time students) does not plainly contradict it, as the member could have opposed this particular measure on grounds of funding, scope, or preferred alternative approaches while still pursuing the general aim.

    • 12 Dec 2023P.72/2023 Amd.(6).Amd.Amd — Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): sixth amendment (P.72/2023 Amd.(6)), amendment, amendment. Medical Hosiery and wound dressing fundingPour, voted to deliver49-0

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Funding medical hosiery and wound dressings makes healthcare consumables more affordable for patients, bearing on the promise of more affordable healthcare.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (b) is a direct vote on proceeding with the new hospital/healthcare facilities programme.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise commits to a new hospital "in the right place, at the right cost," and voting against a specific healthcare facilities programme could reflect a judgement that the particular plan fails the "right place" or "right cost" criteria rather than opposition to building a new hospital per se.

    • 13 Dec 2022·P.109/2022 — Our Hospital Project: ReportingContre, voted against, not counted as a breach15-32

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Our Hospital Project Reporting motion directly demanded reporting on the hospital project, bearing on accountability for building a new hospital at appropriate cost.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion concerned reporting arrangements for the hospital project, not the location or cost of building a new hospital, so a vote against reporting procedures does not contradict a promise about building a hospital in the right place at the right cost.

    • 17 Jul 2024·P.43/2024 — New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a)Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach13-30

      New Healthcare Facilities Programme paragraph (a) is a direct vote on the new hospital programme.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise commits to building a new hospital at the right place and right cost, but voting against a specific programme paragraph could reflect a judgement that this particular plan fails those criteria (wrong location or wrong cost) rather than opposition to building a new hospital at all.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      New Healthcare Facilities Programme expenditure amendment directly addresses funding and cost of the new hospital project.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to build a new hospital at the right place and cost, while this motion concerns a specific budget amendment about healthcare facilities programme expenditure, and voting against a particular funding mechanism or spending level does not straightforwardly contradict the broader goal, especially if the member judged the specific amendment unsuitable in cost, scope, or approach.

      Youth Services Statutory Provision amendment directly bears on statutory support for young people.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to prioritising education and supporting young people, and voting against one specific amendment to a Youth Services statutory provision motion requires inferring that this particular amendment was the right or necessary means of fulfilling that broad goal.

      Fully funded education or training for 16-18 year olds paragraph (c) directly addresses supporting young people to reach their full potential through funded education.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad directional commitment to prioritising education, while the motion concerns one specific funding mechanism for 16-18 year olds; voting against it does not plainly contradict the general promise, as the member could oppose this particular measure while still supporting education through other means.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad directional commitment to prioritising education for young people, and voting against one specific funding mechanism for 16-18 year-olds does not clearly contradict it, as the member could support the goal while opposing this particular measure on grounds of funding, design, or alternative approach.

      Delivery of Three Bilingual Primary Schools paragraph (c) bears on education provision for young people.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. A general promise to prioritise education and help young people reach their potential does not straightforwardly commit to supporting one specific bilingual schooling initiative; voting against this particular delivery mechanism could reflect concerns about implementation, cost, or approach rather than opposition to educational excellence.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Delivery of Three Bilingual Primary Schools paragraph (a) directly relates to education infrastructure.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad directional commitment to prioritising education and helping young people reach their potential, while the motion concerns one specific policy mechanism (delivery of three bilingual primary schools), and voting against it does not necessarily contradict the general commitment, as the member could oppose this particular measure while supporting education by other means.

      Adding funding for sport and physical activity in primary schools through the Jersey Premium scheme directly supports young people's development in education.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to prioritise education and help young people reach their potential is a broad directional commitment, and voting against one specific £350,000 sport pilot amendment does not plainly contradict it, as the member could reasonably oppose this particular funding mechanism or source while still pursuing the general aim through other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Protecting the Children's Commissioner's budget from savings cuts directly supports the welfare of young people, bearing on prioritising support for them.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to prioritise education and help young people reach their potential is a broad directional commitment, and the motion concerns a specific savings allocation to the Office of the Children's Commissioner—a procedural budget decision where a member could reasonably vote against the amendment on grounds of fiscal approach or alternative means of supporting children, rather than rejecting the underlying goal.

      Adjusting apprenticeship grants for inflation supports young people's vocational development, bearing on supporting young people to reach their full potential.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to prioritise education and help young people reach their potential is a general directional commitment, and voting against one specific funding mechanism—inflation-adjusting apprenticeship grants—does not plainly contradict it, as the member could oppose this particular amendment for reasons unrelated to the broader goal (e.g., preferring a different approach or level of funding).

      Free GP visits for full-time students supports young people's health, bearing on supporting young people to reach their full potential.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to prioritise education and help young people reach their potential is a broad directional commitment, and voting against one specific funding mechanism (free GP visits for full-time students) does not plainly contradict it, as the member could reasonably oppose this particular measure on affordability, scope, or delivery grounds while still pursuing the general promise through other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Additional funding for education directly advances the promise to prioritise education and support young people.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. A general manifesto commitment to prioritise education does not straightforwardly bind a member to vote for every specific additional-funding amendment, as they may have opposed this particular measure on grounds of affordability, mechanism, or preference for an alternative approach while still broadly supporting education.

      The Our Hospital Project Reporting motion sought accountability and transparency over a major public expenditure, bearing on careful financial management.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. A promise about careful management of public finances does not clearly map onto a specific motion about hospital project reporting arrangements, which concerns procedural oversight mechanisms rather than the substance of fiscal discipline or spending levels.

      Reporting of headcount and vacancies bears on transparency and accountability in public sector spending, supporting careful management of public finances.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to careful financial management, and voting against a specific reporting requirement on headcount and vacancies is a procedural/mechanism matter that does not straightforwardly contradict that broad aim, since a member could reasonably oppose this particular reporting measure while still pursuing fiscal prudence by other means.

      Transfer of 2024 departmental underspend into the Stabilisation Fund directly addresses prudent management of public finances by saving surpluses.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. Transferring a departmental underspend into a Stabilisation Fund is one specific fiscal mechanism that could plausibly serve careful financial management, but voting against it does not straightforwardly contradict a general promise about careful spending, as the member could have had legitimate reasons (e.g., preferring the funds be used differently or returned to taxpayers) consistent with that broader commitment.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Curbing Growth of Public Sector via end-to-end review directly addresses more careful management of public finances and government efficiency.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to careful financial management, while the motion concerns one specific mechanism (an end-to-end review of government processes), and a member could reasonably vote against this particular review while still pursuing fiscal prudence through other means.

      Voting on administrative support funding for Statistics Jersey bears on careful management of public spending.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to fiscal prudence, while the motion concerned a specific administrative funding decision for Statistics Jersey, meaning a reasonable case exists that the member could oppose this particular amendment while still genuinely pursuing careful management of public finances overall.

      A Performance Framework amendment to the Government Plan bears on accountability and value-for-money in public spending.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to fiscal prudence, while the motion concerns a specific performance framework amendment within the 2025–2028 budget; voting against one particular amendment does not clearly contradict a general promise about careful financial management, as the member could reasonably judge this mechanism unnecessary or ineffective without abandoning the underlying commitment.

      Jersey Business amendment to Government Plan directly addresses support for businesses, a core part of this promise.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "promote innovation and encourage businesses" is a broad directional commitment, and voting against one specific amendment concerning Jersey Business cannot be straightforwardly equated to opposing that general goal, as the member may have had reasons related to the amendment's specifics, funding mechanism, or preferred alternative approach.

      Enhanced Capital Allowance amendment promotes business investment through tax incentives, directly supporting innovation and business.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

    • 21 Sept 2022·P.89/2022 — Composition of Rent Tribunal - as amendedContre, voted against, not counted as a breach12-23

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Composition of Rent Tribunal as amended directly relates to housing policy by establishing the structure of rent regulation.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns broad goals of population management and solving the housing crisis, while the motion concerned the specific composition of a Rent Tribunal, making it impossible to say that voting against this particular procedural/structural measure plainly contradicts the general housing promise.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Cost of living crisis measures affecting Andium Homes rent increases directly bears on affordable housing and solutions to the housing crisis.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "solve the housing crisis" is a broad, directional commitment, and voting against one specific measure regarding Andium Homes rent increases does not plainly contradict it, as the member could oppose this particular mechanism while still pursuing housing solutions through other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Rent Control Tribunal Chair and Member nominations reference back relates to the governance of rent regulation, part of housing crisis solutions.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion concerned a procedural reference-back of nominations to a Rent Control Tribunal, which is too removed from the broad manifesto promise of "sensible population management" and solving the housing crisis to constitute a clear breach without multiple inferential steps.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Stamp duty on buy-to-let investments and second homes bears on population management and housing affordability.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to manage population sensibly and solve the housing crisis is a broad directional commitment, and voting against one specific fiscal measure (stamp duty changes on buy-to-let/second/holiday homes) does not plainly contradict it, as a member could reasonably oppose this particular mechanism while still pursuing the general housing goal through other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Stamp duty amendment Part 2 on buy-to-let investments and second homes also directly relates to housing crisis solutions.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to manage population sensibly and solve the housing crisis is a broad, directional commitment, and voting against one specific fiscal measure (stamp duty changes on buy-to-let, second homes, and holiday homes) does not plainly contradict it, as a member could oppose this particular mechanism while pursuing the same general housing goals through other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Ringfenced Stamp Duty amendment to Government Plan relates to housing funding and affordability.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Rent Control Measures paragraph (a)(i) directly addresses the housing crisis by imposing rent controls.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. A general promise to "manage population sensibly and find ways to solve the housing crisis" does not commit the member to any specific mechanism such as rent control, and voting against one particular housing measure could reflect a judgment that it was the wrong route rather than a rejection of the overall goal.

    • 02 May 2023P.18/2023 — Rent Control Measures [P.18/2023] - as amended - paragraph (a)(ii)Pour, voted to deliver17-25

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Rent Control Measures paragraph (a)(iii) is a direct vote on rent control policy addressing the housing crisis.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "manage population sensibly and find ways to solve the housing crisis" is a broad, directional commitment, and voting against one specific rent control measure does not plainly contradict it, since a member could reasonably oppose that particular mechanism while still pursuing the general goal of addressing the housing crisis through other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Rent Control Measures paragraph (b)(i) directly relates to rent regulation as part of housing crisis solutions.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. A general manifesto promise to "manage population sensibly and find ways to solve the housing crisis" does not clearly commit to any specific mechanism such as rent control, and a member could reasonably oppose this particular measure while still honestly pursuing the broader housing-crisis goal through other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Mortgage repayment assistance directly addresses housing affordability as part of solutions to the housing crisis.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "find ways to solve the housing crisis" is a broad directional commitment, and voting against one specific mortgage repayment assistance scheme does not straightforwardly contradict it, as the member could reasonably favour different mechanisms to address housing affordability.

    • 19 Jul 2023·P.49/2023 — Entitlement to work – reduction in residency requirement.Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach11-31

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Entitlement to work - reduction in residency requirement relates to population management and labour supply, bearing on the housing crisis.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad directional commitment to "sensible population management" and housing solutions, and whether reducing the residency requirement for work entitlement serves or undermines that goal requires a policy judgement rather than being self-evidently implied by the promise.

    • 11 Dec 2023·P.72/2023 Amd.(22).Amd — Government Plan P72-2023 Amendment 22 Amendment - Abolition of interest relief for landlordsContre, voted against, not counted as a breach31-13

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Abolition of interest relief for landlords (amendment) bears on housing affordability and housing crisis solutions.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "manage population sensibly and solve the housing crisis" is a broad directional commitment, and whether abolishing landlord interest relief specifically advances or hinders that goal requires an inference about housing policy mechanism rather than being self-evident from the promise's text.

    • 11 Dec 2023·P.72/2023 Amd.(22) — Government Plan P72-2023 Amendment 22 as amended - Abolition of interest relief for landlordsContre, voted against, not counted as a breach33-12

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Abolition of interest relief for landlords as amended directly addresses housing market dynamics and affordability.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. Abolishing interest relief for landlords is one specific fiscal mechanism that could affect housing supply and costs, but voting against it does not plainly contradict a general manifesto promise to "manage population sensibly and find ways to solve the housing crisis," as a member could reasonably oppose this particular measure while still pursuing the broader housing and population goals through other means.

    • 28 Nov 2023P.40/2023 — Draft Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings) (Licensing) (Jersey) Regulations 202- Regulation 2 (Amd 11 Amd)Pour, voted to deliver12-35

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Investing stamp duty uplift from second homes into first-time buyer funds directly addresses the housing crisis by supporting first-time buyers.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to manage population sensibly and solve the housing crisis is a broad directional commitment, and voting against one specific funding mechanism (directing second-home stamp duty revenue to first-time buyer funds) does not plainly contradict it, as the member could reasonably prefer a different route to addressing housing affordability.

    • 29 Nov 2023P.87/2023 — Minimum Residential Space Standards (P.87/2023) - Paragraph (a)Abstained, did not take a side22-20

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Pets in rental properties as amended directly addresses tenant rights in the private rental sector, part of housing crisis solutions.

      Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion concerned pets in rental properties, which is too tangentially related to a general housing-crisis or population-management promise for a vote against it to constitute a breach of that promise.

    • 26 Nov 2024P.51/2024 Amd.(28) — Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2025-2028 (P.51/2024): twenty-eighth amendment. Removal of stamp duty surcharge on second homes - as amendedPour, voted to deliver23-24

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Stamp Duty Exemption amendment bears on housing market and affordability.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to manage population and solve the housing crisis is a broad directional commitment, and whether a specific stamp duty exemption in the 2025–2028 Budget is a necessary or even helpful means of delivering that promise requires inference and policy judgement rather than being self-evident.

    • 01 Apr 2025·P.16/2025 — Increase Stamp Duty for Properties that are not Principal Residences to 5 per cent (P.16-2025)Contre, voted against, not counted as a breach3-41

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Increase in stamp duty for properties that are not principal residences directly addresses housing affordability and managing speculative investment.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad directional commitment to population management and housing crisis solutions, while the motion is one specific fiscal measure (stamp duty on non-principal residences) whose connection to either goal requires inference about whether this particular mechanism would genuinely help solve the housing crisis.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Increase in Assets and Savings Threshold for the Affordable Housing Gateway bears on access to affordable housing.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a broad, directional commitment to address the housing crisis, and this motion concerns one specific mechanism (raising the assets/savings threshold for the Affordable Housing Gateway), so voting against it does not straightforwardly contradict the promise, as the member could oppose this particular measure while still pursuing the general goal by other means.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Reinstating mortgage interest tax relief could ease housing affordability for homeowners, bearing on making housing more affordable.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise.

      Voting Contre delivers this

      Removing the stamp duty surcharge on second homes would reduce funds available for housing solutions and weaken a policy measure targeting the housing crisis.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to manage population and solve the housing crisis is a broad directional commitment, and whether removing a stamp duty surcharge on second homes advances or hinders that goal requires a chain of reasoning about housing policy rather than being self-evidently contrary to the promise.

      Voting Pour delivers this

      Introducing residential rent controls directly addresses the housing crisis commitment by regulating rents for tenants.

      Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "solve the housing crisis" is a broad directional commitment, and voting against one specific proposed mechanism (temporary rent controls) does not plainly contradict it, as the member could reasonably prefer alternative approaches to addressing housing affordability.

      Development levies bear on housing supply and affordability, touching on solutions to the housing crisis.
