Cwestiynau i’r Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol
Wel, rwy'n falch o glywed hynny—eich bod wedi cael ymateb, yn enwedig yn ysgrifenedig, ar gynyddu'r taliad cymorth o £350 i deuluoedd yn y DU sy'n cynnig llety i ffoaduriaid o Wcráin. Gwn o’m gwaith â grwpiau lleol yn Ogwr ac ar draws ardal Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr…

Yes. Andy.

Okay. I think we can take it as read, looking at the clock, that for enforcing minimum energy efficiency standards in the private rented sector, there is not capacity at the moment to do that. So, let's just take that as read. But can I ask you about the…

—on local authorities. All of this, pulling all this together, you've advocated for the idea of a one-stop stop within local authorities. We've heard from the previous session and we've heard from you as well, not the worries but the hard reality of the fact…

Chair, if you don't mind, I'll try and extend into the other area of questions briefly—

Thanks, Chair. We’ve touched on finance already, but I just want to give you the opportunity to talk about not only the existing financial mechanisms that are available to incentivise investment of this type within the private sector, but also potential…

Or installers or technology.

Datgarboneiddio'r sector tai preifat - sesiwn dystiolaeth 2
Yes, Chair, just to explore this tension that we have between the speed and the urgency of what we need to do, and bringing people along and trusting—as Delyth was saying, nudging people's behaviour. The question I have is: is Government trusted? Because this…

Okay. That's helpful to us.

That's an argument against, as we saw in the previous session, a Domesday Book scenario where you map everything. This is an argument to say, 'Focus on what needs to be done and work your way through those.' It could be on a spatial level in certain…

Yes, sorry, it's just going back a tiny little bit to the building passports. The issue of privacy and data protection and the rights of an individual to the data on their homes is a key one, I get that, but I'd say a point of principle is that we should…

Yes, okay.

Thanks. I think there were murmurs of agreement around the committee here from all perspectives then on increasing the resource into local authorities, but, of course, we're doing it at the same time as we're expecting not to have any uplift in line with the…

Yes, indeed, very briefly, but just to say, and it's on my record of interests as well—I don't declare it routinely, because it's there on my record—I also am a private landlord. I have an inherited property, so it's a property that I own and rent from, but…

Don't worry, we'll take it up with the Minister.

Datgarboneiddio y sector tai preifat - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Okay. Thank you, Chris. I'm referring back to the letter that we had from the Minister here, which is very clear, but, clearly, things have moved on there, because, within that letter we've got: 'The group is tasked with developing a potential "offer" or…

Okay. So, going forward, what are your aims with that group and what should we be expecting as a committee to hear from the outcomes of the deliberations you're now going to do?
5 Hydref 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio y sector tai preifat - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Only one question, I think, Chair. Chris, if I could ask you, the Minister's referred to us before the decarbonisation implementation group, which you are chairing. I was just wondering if you could give us an update on that, because we understand it was…

That's helpful, because the low-hanging fruit—we're not quite clear yet where those low-hanging fruit are, which comes back to the data thing.

Datgarboneiddio y sector tai preifat - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
It's just because this has been identified as the low-hanging fruit, could you just briefly describe the type of property that you're talking about? Are we talking about relatively recently built, reasonably well-insulated properties that have been built in…

I just wanted to explore the response you gave to Delyth there on this issue of a hard cut-off date. If we did this in a different way—. We always seem to be running to catch up to where we want to be by 2030, and then by 2040 and 2050. If we did it the other…
