Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. My short debate is entitled 'Secure housing—stable families. Why section 21 needs to be repealed to give greater security to families in the Welsh private rented sector.' I'd like to start by saying 'thank you' to Shelter Cymru for their work and for their help on this subject, and to declare an interest in that my daughter works for Shelter Cymru. I have agreed that Dawn Bowden, Joyce Watson, Mike Hedges and Jenny Rathbone should speak after I've concluded my remarks. So, thank you very much for your interest.

So, what is section 21? The Housing Act 1988 halted the creation of Labour's Rent Act 1977 protected tenancies. On 15 January 1989, the assured shorthold tenancy came into force. Alongside, came the procedure to accelerate recovery of possession, namely section 21 of the 1988 Act, which in lay terms is the 'no-fault eviction'. In practice, it means landlords can evict people living in privately rented homes with no reason whatsoever.
