Private rented sector: evidence session 4

Thank you, Chair. I know Matthew briefly touched on data collection, so that was what I was going to ask, really. I know, in the written submissions, you mentioned the paucity and the lack of information, of data collection there, in terms of Rent Smart Wales…

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…

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.

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.

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.

Mark, do you have anything you want to add there?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: 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…

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: 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?

Governance of Fire and Rescue Services: 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…
