Diolch, Llywydd. This is a very important subject and very timely. This is both the centenary year of the Housing, Town Planning, &c. Act 1919, commonly known as the Addison Act, but also, as Dawn Bowden has said, the recent second anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire. So, I very much welcome the fact that we are debating this this afternoon. The Addison Act has historic importance to this debate, as it was the first recognition that central Government had a role to play in supporting provision of housing for the working class, and of the link between poor housing and poor health. The importance of the Grenfell fire to this debate is that it has come to represent a failure of the system to listen to and act to protect those in need in society. 

In my oral statement on 11 June, I updated Members on the work that the Welsh Government is undertaking to advance and strengthen equality and human rights in Wales. In these times of uncertainty and continuing austerity, the costs of which falls disproportionately on those least able to bear them, the refuge and sanctuary provided by the place we call home becomes evermore important. The Welsh Government has a clear commitment to promoting and protecting human rights. It's embedded in our founding legislation. It runs through everything this Government seeks to do.
