(Translated) Will the Minister make a statement on the evaluation of Rent Smart Wales?

An independent evaluation of Rent Smart Wales was published in 2018. Further evaluation of Rent Smart Wales is planned but has been delayed due to the pandemic. I am committed to continuing to work with all partners to improve access to quality accommodation in the private rented sector.

(Translated) What discussions has the Welsh Government had with social housing providers about how they can best support their tenants during the coronavirus pandemic?

We regularly meet with representatives of social housing providers to discuss the work they are doing to keep their tenants safe and secure in their home during the pandemic. This includes the availability of financial support for tenants who need it and support to maintain tenants’ well-being.

(Translated) What is the Welsh Government doing to reduce the carbon footprint of house building in Wales?

I am introducing new building regulations to reduce the use of high-carbon fossil fuels and move to cleaner ways to heat all future homes. My £120 million investment in the innovative housing programme has demonstrated all future house tenures can be built net-zero carbon, significantly reducing Wales’s housing carbon footprint.
