Grŵp 13: Diogelwch tân mewn tai amlfeddiannaeth penodol (Gwelliannau 169, 113, 117)
Diolch, Cadeirydd, and I'm happy to support Joel's amendment 169, which makes the same provisions for relevant HMOs as his amendment 154 does for regulated buildings. If amendment 169 is agreed, then the need for a new fire risk assessment would only arise…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. Throughout the development of this Bill, we have worked to create duties that are proportionate and balanced. We have not wanted to create any unnecessary burdens on landlords where there isn't evidence of risk. As it stands, amendment 168…

Diolch, Cadeirydd. This large group of amendments create a new duty to repair damage that could lead to the spread of fire within a building. We all know how important sound compartmentation is to protect residents from fire, and section 51 of the Bill…

Grŵp 7: Strategaethau ymgysylltu â phreswylwyr (Gwelliannau 167, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. As the committee knows, residents' voice is a core principle of the Bill, and that is why I am tabling amendments 5 to 8 in this group. I do, however, have concerns about extending the provisions in section 39 to category 2 buildings, which…

Grŵp 6: Cyweirio (Gwelliannau 143, 144, 148, 149, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. As Siân has set out, her amendments 148 and 149 seek to protect leaseholders from the costs associated with remediation. Amendments 64 to 81, tabled by Rhys, attempt to do something similar but, in addition, provide for remediation orders…

Grŵp 4: Asesiadau risg tân (Gwelliannau 150, 152, 151, 153, 154, 155, 156)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. I can see the reasoning behind Joel James's amendment 150, but I am concerned that its inclusion could result in the weakening of the existing position in respect of the scope of fire risk assessments. For example, fire risk assessments…

Turning next to amendment 88, this amendment limits the power in section 16 so that it applies to fewer sections than in the Bill as introduced. This is in response to recommendation 7 of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee report. I’ve given…

Tlodi tanwydd a rhaglen Cartrefi Clyd: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ysgrifenyddion Cabinet
Can I just finally say—sorry, Chair—that the Warm Homes scheme has helped, over the years, nearly, I think, 200,000 people? I know we hear sometimes about those people who haven't got that help, or are still in need, but we have to take stock about where…
