Yes, Minister, I very much welcome your announcement of the £3 million for the recladding of the high-rise blocks in Newport. If Welsh Government hadn't provided that funding, it would have adversely impacted on necessary new development, as well as improvements to existing stock and, indeed, their environments, so thanks very much for that.

Would you join me, Minister, in recognising the timely action of Newport City Homes in responding to the terrible tragedy of Grenfell and the challenges that posed in terms of the retrofitting of sprinklers, engaging very closely with tenants and, indeed, working very closely with Welsh Government?
