Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:07 pm on 15 November 2022.
First Minister, a recent freedom of information request showed that, in Powys, there are around 4,500 households waiting for social housing. I'm sure you'll agree with me that that's extremely worrying. I'm sure those individuals and those people on that waiting list, like I do, want to know today what you and your Government are doing to fix this problem, because, as you said earlier, funding is coming forward, but it's not achieving the results you want. So, instead of chasing headlines, First Minister, do you think removing things like the phosphate regulations imposed by Natural Resources Wales would go some way to unblocking the planning system?
