You mentioned the policy that the Scottish Government are now bringing forward. I think I answered last week on behalf of the Minister for Climate Change to say that she will, obviously, look very carefully at it, but it is really important that we don't get unintended consequences from such a policy.

You mentioned what we did during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect people from evictions, and, again, it's something that the Minister will be looking at. But, you'll be aware of several pieces of legislation that Welsh Government are bringing forward—the renting homes Act, which will be introduced in December, will provide six months' notice for all new tenants, for instance, where they're not at fault. So, there is a great deal of work going on in relation to support for tenants.
