I just wondered if the Member had had any feedback on the consultation that Newport City Council is doing now on some kind of dispersal orders for homelessness and to stop homeless sleeping in city centres. That seems to me to be the wrong approach, rather than working with groups of people. Clearly the Member wants to work with them and has done that in his local constituency, but has he got something to say on that, and does he think there is an alternative way of addressing what can be a problem in city centres, both here in Cardiff and in Newport, of course?
