The UK Autumn Budget changes mean the introduction of Universal Credit full-service in Anglesey will now be June 2018. I have not yet had specific conversations with organisations  in Anglesey, but we will continue to work closely with local authorities to help them prepare for the roll out of Universal  Credit through the Universal Credit Advisory Group for Wales.

Meeting the housing needs of everyone in Wales is a core theme of Prosperity for All, reflecting the importance we place on this issue. The Private Rented Sector is an important partner in meeting this challenge. Following the Welsh Government’s consultation on the issue, I will shortly be making a statement on our approach to fees charged to tenants in the Private Rented Sector.
