This Government is committed to tackling homelessness in all its forms. In response to the first report of the homelessness action group, our immediate focus is on reducing rough-sleeping across Wales this winter. We are working closely with the local authorities with the most acute needs, including Swansea.

We are committed to ensuring that, as a responsible nation, Wales deals effectively with our non-recyclable waste in a way that ensures that it does not become a problem to our environment nor is exported elsewhere. Incineration of our residual waste is a transitionary step as we move away from non-recyclable materials.

Our 'Child Poverty Progress Report 2019' published yesterday shows that the Welsh Government’s actions to create a strong economy and tackle worklessness, improve skills, tackle inequalities and increase household income are making a difference to mitigate the impact of poverty in the face of almost a decade of UK Government austerity and welfare cuts.
