I always say that, Jack Sargeant.

It should be noted that this is all happening even though private rents across the UK have increased by far less over the last year than all measures of inflation. Can I agree with one thing of the Conservatives? There are too many empty properties. Having spent most of the last three weeks canvassing and delivering leaflets, it's sad to see so many properties just left empty, often in areas that people want to live in. Empty properties are a wasted resource, so I would like to see any property being left empty for more than five years being able to be compulsorily purchased by the local authority and if in need of renovation, being renovated by the local authority.

And finally, I want to raise the benefit of establishing a Welsh housing survey and improve data relating to the Welsh private rented sector, so that we know exactly what the standard and quality of housing is.
