Okay. Altaf, you wanted to come in on this.

Briefly, because we are running out of time—so, if you could keep your answers brief.

Dyled a'r pandemig—Sefydliadau cynghori
Okay. Sioned, you had a further question.

Jason, is there something you want to add to what the others have said?

Dyled a'r pandemig—Sefydliadau cynghori
Who wants to go on that—arrears in social tenancies, basically?

Who would like to go first? Gwennan?

Okay, thank you. Can we now move on to housing debt? Altaf.
20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Dyled a'r pandemig—Sefydliadau cynghori
Okay. I suggest, as we've opened up the thorny issue of council tax, that we go to Sioned on council tax debt, and I'll then come back to you on housing.

Okay. Altaf, what was your question on? On what we've already—

Hang on a sec. One second, Altaf. Jane, did you have a supplementary, or can I go—?

Dyled a'r pandemig—Sefydliadau cynghori
Okay. Altaf wanted to come in. Jane, did you have a supplementary, or—?

Gwen, do you want to add to that?
20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Dyled a'r pandemig—Sefydliadau cynghori
Okay. Before I go on to Jane, who's going to ask about council tax, Vikki, did you have any further questions on this area? No. Okay, fine. Jane, that neatly moves us on, as Peter's already mentioned the thorny issue of council tax.

20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee

Vikki, could I just bring Altaf in to follow-up what's already been said?
20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Dyled a'r pandemig—Sefydliadau cynghori
I grasped that from your answer, but thank you very much for outlining that, which is now on the record. I'm now going to turn to Vikki Howells, who's going to ask you some questions about exactly who are these people who are struggling with debt. Vikki.

Okay. Peter, you wanted to come back in.
20 Medi 2021 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Dyled a'r pandemig—Sefydliadau cynghori
Okay. I think the issue is that I'm sure that you'll always be able to do more with more money. Local authorities themselves are one of the organisations that are suffering from indebtedness by people not paying their council tax, for example. So, were they…

Okay. We'll come back to some of the issues you've all raised, but just before we move on, the Welsh Government increased funding for the single advice fund by £1.1 million in this financial year, so what's your assessment of the level of funding being…

Thank you, Jason. Gwennan, apologies. What's the perspective from Citizens Advice?

Oh, I'm sorry, I beg your pardon.

Thank you, Peter, for that initial analysis of where we're at from StepChange's point of view. Jason, is there anything you want to add from a Citizens Advice point of view?

Welcome back to the second scrutiny session of the Equality and Social Justice Committee, and I'm very pleased to welcome our three witnesses who are opening our inquiry into the impact of debt from the pandemic. So, welcome to Gwennan Hardy, Peter Tutton and…

So, I think I just want to move us into private session briefly, and I just wondered if the person who's managing the broadcasting can tell us when we're no longer in public session.

Thank you, that's extremely helpful. That neatly brings us to the end of this session, and I thank you and Hannah Blythyn for your contributions, and also those of your officials. You will obviously be sent a transcript of this discussion, and obviously it's…
