Election platform:
Elected to the States as a Deputy in November 1999, I have accomplished much in both St. Brelade and the States. I am currently Assistant Minister at Social Security where I and the Minister have presided over the introduction of the Income support system, and also employment legislation to protect workers. Within Income Support I personally championed the introduction of the carer’s allowance. I wish to stand as Senator to continue the work that I do for the Island and to obtain an Island-wide mandate. I will be requesting the Chief Minister to consider me as a Minister in the next government and would like to obtain either the Social Security or Transport and Technical Services Ministry.
I introduced what has become known as the ‘Troy Rule’ which ensures that more States Members are in Scrutiny than in the Executive making it harder for the Executive to push unwanted propositions through the States. I also requested the States to create a legal framework for the holding of referenda. I also lobbied for a register of reports, which can be found on the States of Jersey website and brought forward changes to the format for question time in the States.
Proposers: Denise Waller, David Crespel, Leslie Crapp, Ronald Satchell, Andrew Le Gallais, Sadie Rennard, Mary Langlois, Graeme Harris, Anthony Fulton and David Le Marquand.
Nomination speech:
Denise Waller introduced Deputy Peter Troy as a Jerseyman who had attended De La Salle College and studied business at Highlands College and was also a member of Mensa. She said that the Deputy had been married for 26 years and had two children at university. She said that Deputy Troy had spent 12 years working in finance and currently worked in his family’s construction business. She said that the Deputy was first elected to the States in 1999 and that he had since served three terms in office. She said that he now sought a ministerial role and that he would like to be head of either Social Security, where he is currently Assistant Minister, or of Transport and Technical Services. She added that the Deputy was a keen recycler and believes that every parish should have a door-to-door recycling scheme to complement a smaller incinerator than was currently planned.
