Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
We accept what Crisis are concerned about, and I believe I referenced that in my original comments. What we're saying is that while we accept that might happen in the future, we know it's going to happen now. We know people are being made homeless now, so we…

Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
That's the policy that you're perpetuating. Now, what we did hear as well, thanks to Luke's intervention and Sioned, was that they did mention the fact that what we need to do is protect people, not assets. Houses are homes. They are where people need to…

Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
No, what we have seen once again is examples from this Government and from your own Government of public money being transferred to private pockets, and making sure that people who are already relatively wealthy are making more money off the back of working…

Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
Janet has just said 'more social housing', which is state intervention, which is coupled with what you said. [Interruption.] Okay. So, do you want to make an intervention, Janet?

Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
I must say, listening to Janet Finch-Saunders's first contribution, and also Andrew R.T. Davies's, the irony that they recognised that the free market is absolutely failing our communities, and therefore they are calling for and demanding a state intervention…

Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
'speaker Adam Jones advised landlords to issue “smaller, regular rent increases” instead of large, more sporadic hikes'. It's tactics like this that have led to Wales having the largest increase in rents anywhere in the UK, except for London. In some cases…

Plaid Cymru Debate: The private rental sector
So, back in January, I put forward a motion on rent controls in the Siambr. The Conservatives, as expected, voted against it, while the Labour Party abstained, largely because of a promise that the Government had commissioned a paper to look into the idea…

Debate on the Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee Report: Review of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021
Thank you to the committee, the Chair and all of the staff, as Sam Kurtz said, for their very thorough work on this inquiry. We must begin by acknowledging that we see far too many cases of water pollution in our waterways, and everyone must take…

The other core element that you've touched on, of course, is transport—Daniel spoke about transport in his response there. I note that Rob mentioned that at least in the south-west, this is going to be beneficial in terms of developing the metro. But does…

Thank you very much, Chair. Good morning, everyone, and thank you all for joining us this morning. You've touched a little bit on the central part of what's expected from these CJCs, so I want to go into that in more detail. If we look at, for example, the…

Business Statement and Announcement
Secondly, since coming back from the summer break, I've noticed that Government days, on Tuesdays, tend to finish early, and all we get is statements, with no votes at all. Considering that the Government claims that the legislative programme is full to the…

Business Statement and Announcement
I want to ask for a statement and an action, if I may. Back in March, I raised the issue of a shortage of dentists in Dwyfor Meirionnydd with you. At that point, you said that you would ask the Minister for health to bring a statement forward on dentistry…
