Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:40 pm on 5 October 2016.
Although I tend to agree with you that it was a very popular initiative, as a direct impact of this policy significant amounts of needed social housing were removed from the sector. This, combined with the necessary instruments not being in place at local authority level, as a direct result of the initiatives that you talked about, has meant that there’s a legacy of waiting lists for council properties. So, do you recognise that there is, indeed, a place for social housing and council housing as part of that suitcase of offer, for those who are in need and on low incomes?
