Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Thank you, Chair, and thanks ever so much for coming this morning. I just wanted to have a quick question about the mandatory landlord insurance. Wouldn't that have a counter-effect in the sense of pushing more landlords out of the market, then, if they've…

I'll just bring Mabon in at this point, Sam, if that's okay.

Okay. Perfect. I suppose, Mark, I've just got one final question. Right at the start, you mentioned about the review at Dorset and Wiltshire fire and rescue service. I just wanted to get your views on that, because one of the concerns that was raised in your…

Yes.

Llywodraethu’r Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub: panel 3
Okay. But what about the role of audit, then? What role can that play within the fire service? Do you think it's sufficient as it is, really, or are there any improvements that could be utilised to help?

Yes, sorry. Tristan, I just wondered if you wanted to add anything to what Mark said.

Llywodraethu’r Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub: panel 3
Tristan, do you want to add anything to that? No.

So, what's the main difference, then, between the inspections in England and then in Wales? Is it just the frequency or what they're looking into? Go on, Mark.

Llywodraethu’r Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub: panel 3
Thank you, Chair. I hope you don't mind, Tristan, if I could just come to you first, because you mentioned in one of your earlier responses about the importance of having a robust inspection regime, and I just wanted to get your idea of the current situation…

You highlighted audit there. I just wanted to know, based on that, how satisfied you are that the audits that are undertaken are sufficient. Do these need to be improved?

Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Peter, again, for coming in this afternoon. I can well remember all the e-mails I used to get from you when I was a Rhondda Cynon Taf councillor, so I know first-hand the good work that you're doing there. Can I just ask you a…

Llywodraethu’r Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub: panel 2
Thank you, Chair. You mentioned there that you're supportive of the idea of the commissioners coming in and looking at the situation, from the outside coming in, and I just wanted to get a view then: is that reflective of the rest of your membership, then?…

Can I just ask one more?

Llywodraethu’r Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub: panel 2
Oh, yes, okay. Sorry, Chair. Thanks, Chair. And thanks ever so much for coming in this afternoon. I just wanted a quick question. You mentioned there that you had no confidence in the current setup to solve the situation. I just wanted to get some reasoning…

With that, then, is it because they never had the desired outcome that they wanted, or do you think they were just completely ignored then?

Llywodraethu’r Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub: panel 1
Okay. Just one final question, if I can, Chair. I just want to talk about the south Wales fire and rescue review. Obviously, that was a substantial document, but only about 35 per cent of the workforce responded to that, and I just wanted to know what your…

Okey-dokey, then. And then, also, we mentioned about the audit, about the audit requirements placed on the fire and rescue service, and I just wanted to know: are these sufficient, and do you think they could be improved if they're not?

Llywodraethu’r Gwasanaethau Tân ac Achub: panel 1
Thank you, Chair, and thanks again for coming this morning. I just wanted to talk about the audit and inspection of the fire service, and I was just wondering about how confident are you with the current inspection regime that's happening, and how robust do…

Thank you, Chair. Thanks for letting me come in. I just wanted to touch upon something, Matt, you mentioned there in terms of that failure to act. I know back in 2014, in the Williams commission, one of the concerns that they raised was that lack of a…
