I'm pleased to be able to contribute to this debate, although much of the credit for this work must go to my colleague Bethan Sayed, who worked tirelessly to ensure that this issue was placed further up the agenda, where it deserves to be.

It's now just over 18 months since the tragedy of Grenfell fire demonstrated just how vulnerable some high-rise residential units are, and also the extent to which basic standards of health and safety just don't seem to apply to people who are on low incomes, especially those who belong to minority groups. I found it shocking, for example, that there is still no statutory regulation for people wishing to manage high-rise residential buildings. I also found it shocking that, during our evidence sessions, we heard that in France and Germany there are materials that are specifically prohibited in high-rise buildings, and that isn't the case here. Perhaps it's because France and Germany have political systems that are less likely to give preference to profit over people. We had a small example of this a decade ago, of course, where a modest proposal by the current Deputy Presiding Officer for sprinklers to be installed in homes was met with an unbelievable level of hysteria from the industry. Now, our report makes a number of recommendations about fire safety that would start to address that imbalance, and, frankly, they need to be implemented with urgency. So, I'm pleased that all but one of these recommendations have been accepted by the Welsh Government. I'm not entirely sure that they had much choice, given the consequences of not implementing these recommendations. But even once all of those recommendations are implemented, there still remains a wider piece of work that must be done to raise safety levels throughout the private housing sector. Too often in the past, these high-rise buildings have been places where people with low incomes have dwelled but not lived. They've had to put up with poor conditions and underinvestment in services to support their communities and absent landlords. Is it any wonder, then, that we found so many issues urgently needing addressing? And isn't it a shame that it's taken this tragedy to give us the opportunity to take a proper look at this?
