Thank you very much for your welcome for the statement. When I said in the statement that I had given long and hard deliberation to this issue, then I was absolutely serious because this has been a very difficult issue in terms of gathering the information that we need, in terms of both evidence and the views of the sector, which are so polarised that it has been very difficult to find a way forward that is fair and reasonable and proportionate, bearing in mind all of the different concerns that have been raised. But I think that we have found a way forward that will not be everything that everybody wanted, but, when you have such polarised views, it is very difficult to get to that kind of place.

It is important that we consider the role of pitch fees. I did decide against restricting pitch fees within the measures that I intend to take forward, and that is because I think that there are some important checks and balances already in place to ensure that pitch fee increases are proportionate. Any rise in pitch fees should be agreed between the site owner and the park home owners and the residents in the first instance, but if that agreement can't be arrived at, then the issue can be taken to the residential property tribunal for a determination. I think that is an important backstop, really, both for the site owners, should they need to increase pitch fees, but also to the residents as well to ensure that any increases in pitch fees are fair. Generally, an annual pitch fee review should not impose increases that are exceeding the relevant rate of the consumer price index without the residential property tribunal being engaged. So, again, there is that backstop, should there be any above that CPI level increases proposed.

You also mentioned the wider package of reforms, really. Actually, at the start of your contribution you said that, at its best, park home living can be a very attractive thing, and that's absolutely right, but, in our consultation and the work that we've done engaging with the sector, actually we've heard of stories and examples where park home living is not at its best by any stretch of the imagination. Many park home owners are excellent people, doing an excellent job for the people living in their park homes, but equally we have heard of some stories where the park home owners, despite the fit-and-proper-person tests that exist, are not providing the kind of service that we would want. That's one of the reasons why I intend to work with each of the local authorities in Wales to establish whether or not there is an appetite to create a voluntary lead authority amongst the local authorities in Wales to provide leadership and oversight on the issue of park home licensing. Officials are already starting to have those conversations with local authorities, and I'll certainly give further consideration to the suggestion that we introduce strengthened guidance as opposed to simply strengthened advice and information, in terms of the next steps forward.
