I'd more than welcome a debate on the tidal lagoon, and hopefully the Welsh Government will support that new tidal lagoon project set for Swansea bay, which I think is very, very exciting. 

The point I wanted to make—and you'll be very pleased, Dirprwy Lywydd, that it will be very brief—is that it's so clear, hearing from my other colleagues' contributions, that we simply are not building enough houses in Wales. It's really easy to be academic about that and look at it as a figure or a number on a spreadsheet, or even just the latest missed target in a long line of missed targets by the Welsh Labour Government. But the reality of not building enough homes—what does that look like? What does it mean for ordinary people in Wales not to have anywhere near enough new homes being built to keep up with local demand? It's quite literally life changing. 

I'm 30 years old, surprisingly. [Laughter.] I've lived in Wales all my life. I went to university in Swansea and I have a lot of friends in the local area, and when thinking about the people I went to school or university with that are my age, I can only think of a handful that own their home. It's a sad indictment of where we are as a society in Wales at the moment that that dream, or even that right that previous generations had—some of those generations, like my dad's, are represented in the Chamber today—and that aspiration that they had of owning their own home simply doesn't exist for too many people in my generation. But aspiration simply isn't a word that's in the Welsh Labour Government's dictionary. 

I'm not pretending it's a problem that's exclusive to Wales, but when you need 12,000 new homes a year, as our motion calls for, and you barely build a third of that, it's clear that it's a problem that the Welsh Labour Government is only making worse. If the Government doesn't get its act together and build enough new homes here in Wales, we not only run the risk but the reality of an entire generation being shut out of owning their own home. I encourage everyone to back our motion today. Thank you.
