I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I could spend my whole contribution trying to take apart the Member for Merthyr’s various accusations. I do think that one accusation is beneath her, in fairness: the accusation she put to the Conservatives that the reason people sell their bodies for housing is because of Conservative policies. I do think that is something that I hope she will reflect on, and maybe come to a more considered point of view.

It is a fact, as David Melding said in his opening remarks, that a whole-market solution is what is required. Because actually, if you look at housing in isolation in one part of it, you will never solve the overall dynamics in the housing market, which is: we haven’t got enough houses—full stop. That is the simple equation. As David pointed out, if we carry on on the current trajectory, and you actually do hit your targets—and there’s not much evidence that you are hitting targets—we’re going to be 66,000 houses short by the year 2030. I think I heard you correctly—or 2031, as such, then. And that’s just on a Wales basis. That’s a huge deficit in the market. Ultimately, for first-time buyers, retirees and those in the middle, that’s going to create a huge pressure on price and make it more unaffordable for people to actually get onto the housing ladder and their stake in society, whether that will be in the rented sector or in the purchase sector. Hopefully, we can all agree with that.

What is disappointing is the current approach of the Welsh Government. I know that, since May of last year, we’ve had the EU referendum, we’ve had the local government elections, and we’re now—tomorrow—going to have the general election, but actually, this Government is in its infancy, if you like; it should be blazing a trail with bright, new ideas coming forward to answer one of the great challenges that we, as a society, do face: how are we going to provide that mixed housing solution? I can see the Cabinet Secretary saying ‘We are’. The evidence is not there, Cabinet Secretary. It clearly is not there, especially when you look at the issues that people are finding in any community the length and breadth of Wales of not being able to secure that roof over their head—that opportunity to have their stake in society. I hope that the Cabinet Secretary will—
