Thank you very much for that explanation in relation to those specific three amendments. It is important, of course, that residents have the relevant information, and that that happens in a timely manner. Perhaps there are some pieces of specific information…

Now, I noted that Rhys mentioned the scope of the Bill, and I do think that you're right; there has been a shift. At the outset, there was a determination that these kinds of amendments wouldn't be within the scope of the Bill, but I am delighted that there…

Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you to everyone who has assisted with the work related to bringing these amendments before the committee. I'm very grateful for the detailed work that was done, and a particular thanks to the Cabinet Secretary for the…

At the moment, no work has been started on 30 per cent of these buildings. That is entirely unacceptable—no work begun on 30 per cent of the relevant buildings, seven years later. And 19 per cent of them are still awaiting inspections, and there is 5 per cent…

Thank you very much. So, I move amendment 143. Just to say at the outset, of course, that I agree entirely with the content of this Bill, and it's about time for it to come into force here in Wales. But I do think that there is a major missed opportunity here…

Questions to the First Minister
Almost 10 years ago, when I was elected to the Senedd for the first time to represent the people of Arfon, I raised concerns about deficiencies in the provision of health and care services in Waunfawr and Llanrug in my constituency, and the entirely…

I want to highlight a specific example from Gwynedd that clearly shows the potential that domestic and community energy production have, if given the right support. In Tanygrisiau, Blaenau Ffestiniog, as in many post-industrial communities across Wales, fuel…

Do we need a development corporation, so that we can ramp up this work rather than rely on land division? You all agree? The committee's recommended that as well, so, good.

Okay. Turning, then, to the availability of public land, I think that Community Housing Cymru have called on the Welsh Government to scale up its work to bring forward public land at a discount. The Government have told us that they feel that there is already…

I'm going to speak in Welsh. We have talked briefly about acquisitions, and I'd like to know—. There's an argument, perhaps, that we need to be more flexible in terms of the standards that that property has to be brought up to. So, forget about those: are…

But on the new build, we heard evidence earlier on that, surely, we should be building new homes now that don't need to be adapted later on. So, I think we need to be clear and have clarity about what we're talking about—which types of homes we're talking…

And would compulsory purchase powers come into this as well? Where there have been changes recently in legislation, are those starting to come through in Wales? Are you seeing any upsurge in the procurement of land?
