The debate so far
Housing debates in the Seventh Senedd have centred on the Plaid Cymru Government's target of 20,000 new social homes by 2030, and on planned legislation on private renting and fair rents. Members have also pressed ministers on homelessness and temporary accommodation, slow building safety remediation, holiday let rules and the planning system.
The main arguments
- Siân Gwenllian (Plaid Cymru) said a shortage of homes is at the core of the crisis and set out the 20,000 social homes target. Peter Fox (Conservatives) asked why it would succeed when the last Government missed its target.
