First Minister, the Member for South Wales West was quite right to point out the number of empty or unavailable homes at the moment—over 20,000. That’s actually more than your target for affordable housing in the whole of this fifth Assembly term. It does seem to me that there are lots of people there who are not only in danger of homelessness, but have not been able to form their own household and are having to stay in accommodation they’d rather leave. One way of tackling this, in part, would be to look at those homes that are not currently in use.
