Datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Lywodraeth Leol, Tai a Chynllunio: Gweithio gyda llywodraeth leol i ddarparu mwy o dai fforddiadwy
Diolch yn fawr, Mike. Rwy'n cytuno'n fawr â'r hyn rydych chi'n ei ddweud yn y fan yna. Yr un olaf yna: dydyn ni ddim yn mynd i wneud hynny, ond rydym ni'n mynd i annog awdurdodau lleol i sicrhau eu bod nhw'n adennill eu costau yn llawn, sef yr un peth o'r tu…

Ie, diolch yn fawr, Carolyn. Felly, mae amrywiaeth o bethau yn y fan yna. Mae gennym ni fforwm adeiladu, ac mae bellach yn cael ei gadeirio gan fy nghyd-Aelod, Jeremy Miles, ond mae gennym ni is-adran o hynny, sef y fforwm adeiladu tai, ac rydym ni'n cyfarfod…

Ie, mae hwnnw'n gwestiwn da iawn. Yr hyn yr ydym ni wedi gofyn amdano yw i awdurdodau cynllunio lleol adolygu eu cynlluniau datblygu lleol, yn enwedig y dyraniadau tai ynddyn nhw, ond maen nhw'n cynnal adolygiad llawn. Rydym ni hefyd yn gofyn i bob awdurdod…

Diolch, Mabon. Nid wyf yn anghytuno ag unrhyw beth rydych chi newydd ei ddweud, ac eithrio'r angen am bolisïau newydd. Rwy'n awyddus iawn i beidio â chael, mewn gwirionedd, unrhyw gynlluniau newydd. Rwy'n awyddus iawn i sicrhau bod y mentrau a'r strategaethau…

The housing with care fund. We've changed the name of the fund in order to befuddle the Cabinet Secretary and it's certainly worked. It used to be called the HLF, but now it's called the housing with care fund—I must try and get my head around that. That is…

Yes, I think that's right. I think it's got real potential for step-up, step-down accommodation, as well. And we've got the—. We've changed the name, apologies, Chair. Sorry, say it again—

Absolutely. The whole modular homes market is one that we've been encouraging for some considerable period of time. It's the fastest way to build low-carbon housing that there is. It's adaptable, it means you can get a much more diverse workforce in the…

We absolutely agree—we need a sound evidence base and a full understanding of what we're looking at in the housing market and households in Wales. Just to be absolutely clear, we have no intention of doing an annual housing survey. The resource to do that…

We can't stop anyone from owning property—I can't do that—but we can stop them from being the landlord and being the managing agent and being the renting person. So, where somebody has been convicted of a range of offences and those convictions are unspent…

The PRS, as I said, is a matter for local authorities, and they do that through their environmental health departments. It is absolutely a matter of fact that the private rented sector teams in local authorities were decimated during the austerity years. As I…

Yes. So, we absolutely are. Because of the imminence of a general election, it's perfectly proper for the civil service to be able to brief the opposition as well, and we've asked for factual briefs on a number of points to share with both parties, actually…

We weren't given the opportunity to do so, basically. So, we weren't asked to pick and choose which bits of the Bill we'd like to have applied to us. An offer was made to us to be involved in the no-benefits-claimants and no-children exclusions, and so we've…

And I understand that, in England, the right to refer already exists, but the private landlords are not subject to it, and I'm told by the officials—I don't know which one of you knows more about this—that the Scottish proposals aren't proposing to subject…

It's the classic dilemma: we want to build as many permanent houses as we can, but we've got problems with building the permanent houses in some parts of Wales. Committee will be very familiar with some of those, such as the phosphate difficulties that we've…

The expressions of interest we've had are way over the budget that we've got. So, it's clearly a very popular programme and people want to be part of it. So, we're just in the process of working with the sector on that. Sarah, do you want to add to that?
