Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. Can I thank Mick Antoniw, the Chair of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee, and his committee for considering the proposed Order? Just in response to the two points that you highlighted that merited scrutiny, in relation to your first point, on lack of formal consultation on the Order, it is right to say that a formal written consultation hasn't been undertaken. However, we have engaged broadly with local authorities and with other expert third sector colleagues in relation to this matter. There is broad support for this proposed Order, and we're confident that the flexibility in-built to our proposed approach means we can support local authorities at any stage of their duty accommodation assessment process. And, in relation to the second point, a local housing authority that did not carry out a second assessment by 24 February 2021, as you say, will currently be in breach of the duty in section 101 of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 and will remain in breach until the Order comes into force. But local housing authorities have received written notification of the proposed Order to ensure we offer as much clarity as we can in the current circumstances, and we'll write again pending the result of today's vote. 

I'm grateful for Jenny Rathbone's points and questions this afternoon in moving this motion, because we remain absolutely committed to working with local housing authorities to ensure that Gypsies and Travellers in Wales have access to high-quality site provision that is tailored to their needs and is culturally appropriate, and indeed this is about addressing outstanding needs relating, for example, to transit provision. And just to assure you that, since we created the housing Act duty in 2014, we've seen well over 200 new pitches either created or refurbished—and it's good to put that on record this afternoon—and that compares to only a handful of new pitches created between 1997 and 2014. That progress isn't taking place in every part of Wales, and it needs to, and we've provided significant funding to address the need. So, my officials have written to the four local authorities whose progress is of most concern, and we're currently working through—obviously, as a result of the pandemic—ways in which we can make that change through collaboration and working with local authorities to identify and meet these needs. But we have to address this, and I would say that, in terms of future actions, we may have to take advice around the potential for use of powers outlined in the Housing Act.

And just finally to say that our published advice to local authorities is clear, and this relates to the Riverside Gypsy and Traveller site in Flintshire. It's clear that managing COVID-19 incidents on this site must be based on clear communication, building trust and taking time to ask what support is needed by residents. The use of security firms to enforce the behaviour of communities is not acceptable, and I hope never to hear of this type of situation again. This must be about how we promote good management and relations between tenants and landlords, essential to achieve public health compliance with COVID-19 regulations, and I am grateful to TGP Cymru, who have engaged with us and are also building the trust between public services, Gypsies and Travellers and local communities. So, I move this motion. Diolch yn fawr, Deputy Presiding Officer.
