Group 4, therefore, is the next group, which relates to information for tenants and prospective tenants and the requirements on landlords. Amendment 15 is the lead amendment, and I call on Siân Gwenllian to move and speak to the amendment and the other amendment in the group.

Amendment 15 (Bethan Jenkins) moved.

Thank you, Llywydd. These amendments are tabled in the name of Bethan Jenkins and reflect the need for information about the Bill to be provided in an accessible manner that reflects recommendation 4 made by the equality committee, which looked at this. We've worked with the Government on these amendments, and these are necessary in order to ensure that communication with tenants happens in an acceptable manner.

A few general words, because this will be my last contribution on this Bill this afternoon: we have lost 46 per cent of housing from the social housing sector as a result of the right to buy. Almost half of the homes are no longer available for rent by people who can't afford any other way of putting a roof over their heads. Lengthy waiting lists, more homelessness, concern and anxiety—that's what the right to buy has meant in Wales. At last, it is to be abolished—hopefully—this afternoon. It's a historic day indeed.

I think that, in terms of the information that should be given, these are sensible amendments and we will support them. I don't need to make any more general remarks at this stage, as there are two groups left in which we will be fully engaging, but we would support these amendments.

I call on the Minister for Housing and Regeneration, Rebecca Evans.

Thank you. This group of amendments relates to the requirements of landlords in respect of the provision of information for tenants and prospective tenants. These amendments ensure that landlords, in giving the information to their tenants, have regard to their needs and provide information in an appropriate way. 

I share Bethan Jenkins’s wish to ensure that tenants receive clear and appropriate information, and I would like to thank Bethan for bringing forward these amendments. I know that she's been highly engaged with this Bill throughout and will be disappointed not to be able to be here today.

Whilst there are a number of equality and well-being duties that apply in this area, the extent to which they apply will depend on the nature of the landlord, and potentially the tenants. I'm keen to do all we can to ensure that all tenants affected by the legislation have appropriate information that meets their needs. I'm therefore happy to see this extra reassurance on the face of the Bill and ask Members to support amendments 15 and 16.

Siân Gwenllian to reply to the debate. No. With that, the question is that amendment 15 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 15 is agreed.

Amendment agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.

Siân Gwenllian, amendment 16.

Amendment 16 (Bethan Jenkins) moved.

Formally.

The question is that amendment 16 be agreed to. Does any Member object? Amendment 16 is agreed.

Amendment agreed in accordance with Standing Order 12.36.
