Thank you. My first question is with regard to Grenfell and I’ve asked many questions on it here in the Chamber, and you have, to be fair, sent us regular updates as requested over the summer about what you are doing in relation to Grenfell on a Wales level. On 25 August, it emerged that some private high-rise apartment buildings in Cardiff, such as those at Prospect Place, had failed cladding safety tests. You did send us that information, but I was wondering whether you could provide us with further updates on the private sector in particular, because you did tell Assembly Members before recess that it was not only you as Cabinet Secretary who was looking at this in relation to private flats, but that your Cabinet Secretary for the economy would be talking to hotels and such also. So, I’m confident that we can have a grasp of the housing within the Welsh Government’s parameters, but I want to be assured that in relation to new flats—because they’re being built all the time—and the ones that have been flagged as problematic, you are able to give us a further update here today.
