Okay. Can I just come back, please?

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 2
Thanks, Chair. As we have a little more time, perhaps, than initially expected, I wouldn't mind just asking a couple more questions. In particular in your report, in terms of calculating the benefits, I'm interested to know what assumptions you've made around…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 2
Right. I do have more thoughts, but I'm conscious of time, and if there's time at the end, I'd like to come back in, if that's all right, Chair.

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 2
Can I just expand on that a little bit further, Chair? Thank you for that. You highlighted Finland as perhaps the country that is handling this in the best way at the moment, and I also understand they've been probably looking at it over a longer period of…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 2
Thank you. Thanks, Chair. I appreciate why you have to position your assumptions based on a Government delivering on a set policy. I understand that, so that's fine, thanks. You mentioned earlier some of the countries that have incorporated similar…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 2
Thanks. Just to expand on that a little further, on a specific point in your report—. I'm looking at page 10 of the report, where you highlight the assumption that the Welsh Government will be delivering on their 20,000 new low-carbon social homes by 2026. We…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 2
Thanks, Chairman, and good morning. Thank you for your time in committee here today. My question, the first one, is in relation to the strength of the evidence base that you’ve used in terms of writing your report, and the evidence base in regard to adequate…

Thanks. Thanks, Chair.

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 1
Thanks for the responses—really appreciate that. And then the other question from myself, I guess, is in relation to welfare benefits, which are not devolved here in Wales. I'm wondering what sort of impact that may have on the ability to deliver what we want…

The Right to Adequate Housing - evidence session 1
Thanks, Chairman. Thank you for your time this morning. I appreciate you coming in to the Senedd. I think it's been a really interesting discussion so far, and the thing that's floating around my head a little bit is that, having the legislation in place as a…

Debate: The Local Government Settlement 2023-24
Thank you, Minister, and Welsh Government also for bringing forward today's debate on the 2023-24 local government settlement, which, of course, councils and councillors up and down Wales have been eagerly awaiting, because we know this local government…

Building safety - evidence session 2
Yes. I'm just really grateful for those responses, and just sitting here reflecting. Other questions may come along, Chair. We all get involved in politics and get elected to make sure people are properly supported, and we want to see people in our…

Building safety - evidence session 2
Yes, thanks, Mr Chairman. I’m conscious that a number of the questions I was going to ask have probably been answered already, but I’m particularly interested in the support available, or not, to disabled leaseholders, which I know has already been touched…

Building safety - evidence session 1
Okay, thanks.
1 March 2023 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Building safety - evidence session 1
Yes, of course.

Just on the previous points you raised earlier about the mortgage situation and the ability of people to sell—how does that contrast with what leaseholders are able to do in England at the moment? So, are we seeing mortgages flowing in England on similar…

Can I ask just one more?
1 March 2023 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Building safety - evidence session 1
Okay.
1 March 2023 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Building safety - evidence session 1
So, you think it's something that should be pursued.
1 March 2023 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Building safety - evidence session 1
Yes, briefly, Chair. And also, just for the record as well, I wasn't expecting the points about the Welsh fire and rescue services you mentioned; I have a close relative who works for the Welsh fire and rescue service. Just for clarity on that one. Just on…

Questions to the Minister for Social Justice
Thank you, Minister, for that response. As you will know, almost all major road building and upgrade projects across north Wales have been scrapped with this roads review, which is quite staggering for my residents in north Wales. Communities and residents…

Statement by the Minister for Economy: Net-zero Skills Strategy
Thank you, Minister, for bringing forward today's statement on the Welsh Government's net-zero skills strategy and the action plan as well. Minister, you'll be glad to hear that, last week, I had the pleasure of attending Growth Track 360's Westminster…

Questions to the First Minister
I'm grateful to Ken Skates for submitting today's important question. I would like to echo the comments made by him, and by you as well, First Minister, in relation to the young person's guarantee, something which, on these sides of the benches, we have been…
