Thank you, Llywydd. Ensuring that local people can afford to live in the communities in which they grew up, and maintaining the vitality of Welsh as a thriving community language, are both key strategic goals for the Welsh Government.

The Minister for Climate Change, Julie James, has just outlined a number of key interventions that we intend to make on second homes and affordability. She reiterated our determination to support our communities and to see them thrive. Today, I want to outline a critical and complementary element of this work, which is the development of a Welsh language communities housing plan, which is also a key programme for government commitment.
