Iawn. Diolch, Lywydd. A thaliadau ychwanegol i'r rhai mwyaf agored i niwed. Yn y gyllideb fach, cyhoeddwyd y byddai 1.2 miliwn o bobl yn elwa o'r toriad i gyfradd sylfaenol y dreth incwm a bydd 2 filiwn yn cael toriad yswiriant cenedlaethol o £235—[Torri ar…

Wel, ar nodyn mwy cadarnhaol na fy nghyd-Aelod, rwy'n eithaf bodlon mewn gwirionedd gyda'r camau y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn eu cymryd. Popeth a wnawn yn awr, mae'n gyllideb fach ar gyfer twf, mae'n gyllideb fach i gael pobl yn ôl mewn gwaith. Ac mae'n rhaid i…

No. Hotel rooms are not—

—I'll be mentioning it this afternoon in the Chamber—within the last month: 51 section 21s. That's a lot of people that could potentially end up now in temporary accommodation.

How can landlords be incentivised to invest in improving the energy efficiency of their properties? And also, can we discuss some concerns expressed by the National Residential Landlords Association about the potential for a large number of private…

Because insurance guarantees are sometimes not worth the paper that they're written on. There was a double whammy for people having those works done, because, at the beginning, they'd got the insulation and it caused all the problems, but now, over the years…

What do you think the mechanisms are that need to be developed so householders have a means of redress for any unsatisfactory energy efficiency works? I'm citing the awful—and it was awful—cavity wall insulation escapade, when people were left in a far worse…

I know, I can see they're really trying to do it, to be fair.

Yes. I suppose, really, it's about finding what the main barriers are to the roll-out of building renovation passports in the private sector. When I've worked with registered social landlords and they've wanted to fit new windows, I've had tenants coming to…

I wondered about that.

Very.

Can I just come back to you on that? One of the big issues, and it's not just in this area, is data collection. I think the point that the Minister makes—and it is fair comment—is that we're not very good at collecting data. The previous witnesses were saying…

Thank you. Again, as it's another session, I'll declare my interest as a property owner, as declared in my register. Do you consider that a long-term national strategy for decarbonisation should actually be across all tenures and that it is that that's…

Where they are registered, could Rent Smart Wales not be, in some way, doing more to capture data?
5 Hydref 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio y sector tai preifat - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
Thank you. I'm just thinking—I just thought of this now—Rent Smart Wales engages a lot with landlords. Is there a part for Rent Smart Wales to play there? Because they've got the register—. Well, bear in mind, there are people who still avoid being…

Yes—how they can be incentivised. We've talked about the carrot and we've talked about the stick, but I would imagine that private landlords, the private rented sector, there is an interest in them having their properties energy efficient, because tenants…

Okay. What role do you feel the Development Bank of Wales has in helping to fund—you know, developing the resources to fund this decarbonisation retrofit?

Thanks. And do you think the Welsh Government has sufficiently promoted uptake of the UK Government's energy company obligation funding, and the boiler upgrade scheme?
5 Hydref 2022 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio y sector tai preifat - sesiwn dystiolaeth 1
No, no, just—. I'm not dragging the committee back, but a lot of houses have been fitted with smart meters. Do you feel that the Welsh Government could in some way use that data as some kind of yard measure?
