Diolch, Llywydd. Rent is rising higher in Wales than anywhere else in the UK, except London. Rent in Cardiff alone has increased 36 per cent in just two years. A quarter of private tenants in Wales are worried they will lose their homes in the next three months. Shelter Cymru, echoed in England by the Kerslake commission on homelessness, are calling for the reintroduction of a temporary ban on evictions—evictions for arrears as well as no-fault evictions—that we saw during the pandemic to ensure that no-one is made homeless as a result of the cost-of-living crisis. Scotland is doing it and their competence mirrors ours. As a Government that says it is committed to ending homelessness, will you also ban evictions this winter in Wales?
