I appreciate that Neil Hamilton wasn’t here during the session when we supported, when the Welsh Government supported, the mobile homes legislation presented by Peter Black. It then became the Mobile Homes (Wales) Act 2013, which you refer to. I just need to remind the Member that this legislation consolidates previous legislation relating to park or residential mobile homes and goes much further than comparative legislation in England. For example, we required all sites to be relicensed, and I’m sure that you would welcome that, and for site managers to pass a fit-and-proper-person test. But, subsequent to that, the Welsh Government did commission an independent review of the economics of the park home industry in 2015, and the report has been published, and, clearly, the Cabinet Secretary is looking at that and the options.
