Cwestiynau i Weinidog yr Economi
Rwy’n ddiolchgar i Siân Gwenllian am godi’r pwynt pwysig hwn, ac am eich ymateb, Weinidog, i sicrhau y gwneir cynnydd ar hyn yn gynt yn hytrach nag yn hwyrach. Fe ddywedoch mewn ymateb i un o fy nghyd-Aelodau yn y Siambr yn gynharach fod economïau'n gweithio…

Okay, thank you. Thanks, Chair.

Of course. Richard, do you want to say something?
13 Mawrth 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes, sure.

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Okay. Anybody else want to come in?

On the point around rent controls, do you think there's anything that should be done at all to mitigate any extreme spikes in rents at all?

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Perhaps one last point, Chair, if I may.

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Okay. And Steve, you wanted to come back in.
13 Mawrth 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Sure. Is there anything you wanted to add, Tim?
13 Mawrth 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes, sure. Okay. Does anyone else—?

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Thanks, Chair. To continue this theme around quality, and, I guess, at least healthy standards of living for people as well, I was wondering what you think might be the top priorities or the biggest things that Welsh Government could do to improve quality and…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes. Richard, anything from a lending point of view that would be helpful?
13 Mawrth 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Thanks. And just in terms of going back to improving that supply side, and, Steve, you raised a couple of specific points that are preventing supply at the moment, there are probably opportunities out there for institutional investors as well, especially in…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Thanks.
13 Mawrth 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Yes, thank you, Chair, and good morning. Thanks for being with us this morning, it's really appreciated. Just picking up your point on the supply side, there are acknowledged issues around there not being enough supply of housing generally, and specifically…

Thanks. I saw Darren's hand up, and then perhaps Steffan could come in.
13 Mawrth 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thanks. I'm conscious of time, Chair, so I might try and jump on to another theme, and I know colleagues will want to perhaps ask questions a bit later about regulation as well. Because I have a nervousness, as you may expect, that with this continued focus…

I saw Darren's hand up as well, Chair.

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Does anybody else want to respond to those points at all?
13 Mawrth 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Perhaps before others respond, I'm also considering not just those in temporary accommodation at the moment, but the relationship between landlords and tenants. If there was a much larger supply out there, you'd expect the relationship between landlords and…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thanks, Chair, and good morning, everybody. I appreciate you being here with us. You probably would expect me to ask this question around supply and demand. Perhaps I'm being too simplistic, but would many of the issues that you're describing and the…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Okay, thanks.

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Yes, sure. Ben.

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Thanks, Orla. I know, both Bens, you touched on equality and perhaps environmental hazards as well. I wondered about any thoughts you might have in terms of what Welsh Government could or should be doing to prioritise better quality or to deal with…

Y sector rhentu preifat: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Thanks. Thanks for that, Orla, as well. And, perhaps, on the student side, just for a moment, before I move on to some other questions: getting the balance right between quality and affordability is a real challenge, isn't it, and I just wonder how you see…
