Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:28 pm on 21 June 2017.
Following on from the discussions I’d had previously with Bethan Jenkins in terms of whether we could include these within the Rent Smart Wales scheme, I’ve asked my team to give me further advice about where this might just fit in, to see whether there is more regulation that we can impose on this principle. But as Bethan Jenkins did mention, we have had discussions with some local authorities who are now pursuing this around the issues of acceptable places to live. I will update Members when I have some more information regarding that.
Finally, Wales is enriched by the diversity of cultures being resettled here, and we will continue to embrace that. Diolch.
