Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:27 pm on 14 December 2016.
Just following on from that, I wonder whether you would be willing, as Cabinet Secretary, to meet with some of the asylum seekers and refugees in the area so that they can tell you directly what those concerns are, because many of them feel that they’re not listened to. There are myths, of course, about the fact that they are taking homes from people from Wales. That is not the case entirely—they’re not on any list that any other person here in Wales would be on with regard to social housing. They find it very, very difficult to make complaints, and have said to me that they have faced racism from Clearsprings staff when they have been making updates to their homes. So, would you be willing to do that, Cabinet Secretary, so that you can hear for yourself those problems first hand?
