Memorandwm Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Rhentwyr (Diwygio): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I'm sure my officials can elaborate on this, but we don't think—. According to the Welsh Government legislation handbook outline of what factors are considered for an expedited or fast-tracked Bill, we don't think this would meet the criteria. But, I mean…

Memorandwm Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Rhentwyr (Diwygio): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Well, I mean, obviously, that's not a matter for me, unfortunately. I don't have any control of that, and Members of the Senedd will also be aware of various political things going on that mean that it may or may not make it through. But, even if it were…

Memorandwm Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Rhentwyr (Diwygio): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I think housing is actually one of the areas of law that the next Senedd will probably want to look at for consolidation, because there is a growing body of law—you're quite right, Chair—here in Wales, but it still relies on other provisions inside the UK as…

Memorandwm Cydsyniad Deddfwriaethol ar y Bil Rhentwyr (Diwygio): Sesiwn dystiolaeth

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Amendment 183 relates to transitional provisions in the Bill, and inserts a new section. The amendment has been tabled in part as a result of recommendations from this committee. I've also listened to feedback from stakeholders, and this…

Grŵp 21: Rhan 8 – Swyddogaethau atodol: Buddion net i fioamrywiaeth (Gwelliant 153)
Diolch, Cadeirydd. So, as Delyth has already said, amendment 153 would introduce a new regulation-making power into the Bill that would make it a requirement to support biodiversity net gain for specific types of infrastructure projects in Wales. There is an…

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Dealing with the non-Government amendments first, I'm thanking Janet, as always, for tabling the amendments. Unfortunately, I am asking you to reject amendment 65. Subsection (2) of section 61 ensures that no more land than is needed would…

I'm afraid I've several more pages to plough my way through. Turning to amendments 129 and 130—. Sorry, no, I'm going back on myself. Amendment 152 would make it a duty on the face of the Bill to have regard to mitigating and adapting to climate change in…
