English: Thank you to Peredur for bringing forward this debate, because it is an exceptionally important one, particularly bearing in mind that in a number of the HMOs that we have, if you think about places such as Bangor, Aberystwyth, Swansea, Wrexham and Cardiff - those areas where there are universities - it's students who make up many of the residents of these HMOs. I want to refer you to an excellent report that the National Union of Students Wales and Shelter released around Christmas that looked at the standard of housing for students and which said that over half the students of Wales live in properties that are damp, that have mould growing in them, and so on; 65 per cent of students reported that they live in homes that had an impact on their mental health; and that a third of students had difficulties paying rent, with 60 per cent of them stating that the property that they lived in didn't meet standards and should not have attracted that level of rent. So, this draws attention to that specifically, and I would like to hear what the Deputy Minister has to say when it comes to student properties in particular. Also, I think it's important - what Peredur said in his contribution - to mention the need to build homes to meet local demand and needs, to ensure that homes are fit for purpose, rather than what we see at the moment, which is a number of landlords trying to squeeze as many people as possible into homes for their own profit, without thinking about the needs of those individuals who then go on to suffer from things like mental ill health. So, I look forward to hearing what the Deputy Minister has to say about Government plans to ensure that homes are built to meet the community demands and needs. Thank you very much.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i Peredur am ddod â'r ddadl yma ger ein bron, achos mae e'n un hynod o bwysig, yn enwedig o ystyried yn nifer o'r HMOs sydd gennym ni, os ydych chi'n meddwl am lefydd fath â Bangor, Aberystwyth, Abertawe, Wrecsam, Caerdydd - yr ardaloedd yna lle mae yna brifysgolion - myfyrwyr ydy nifer o'r bobl yma sydd yn byw mewn rhai o'r HMOs yma yn enwedig. Dwi eisiau eich cyfeirio chi at adroddiad gwych ddaru Undeb Cenedlaethol y Myfyrwyr Cymru a Shelter ei ryddhau tua adeg y Nadolig a oedd yn edrych ar safon tai myfyrwyr ac a oedd yn dweud bod dros hanner myfyrwyr Cymru yn byw mewn eiddo a oedd yn damp neu efo tyfiant mould ynddo fo; bod 65 y cant o fyfyrwyr yn adrodd eu bod nhw'n byw mewn tai a oedd yn effeithio ar eu hiechyd meddwl nhw; a bod treian o fyfyrwyr yn ei chael hi'n anodd talu'r rhent, gyda 60 y cant ohonyn nhw yn meddwl nad oedd yr eiddo roedden nhw'n byw ynddo yn safonol ac yn haeddu cael y math yna o lefel o rent. Felly, mae hyn yn tynnu sylw at hynny'n benodol, a buaswn i wrth fy mod yn clywed beth sydd gan y Dirprwy Weinidog i ddweud pan fo'n dod i eiddo myfyrwyr. Hefyd, dwi'n meddwl ei fod o'n bwysig - yr hyn a oedd Peredur wedi'i ddweud yn y cyfraniad yna - sôn am yr angen i adeiladu tai i ateb y galw ac anghenion lleol, er mwyn sicrhau bod tai sydd yn addas i bwrpas, yn hytrach na'r hyn rydyn ni'n ei weld ar hyn o bryd, efo nifer o landlordiaid yn trio hwffio gymaint o bobl â phosib i mewn i dai er mwyn cyfoethogi eu hunain heb feddwl am anghenion yr unigolion yna sydd wedyn yn mynd ymlaen i ddioddef o bethau fath ag afiechydon meddwl. Felly, dwi'n edrych ymlaen at glywed beth sydd gan y Gweinidog i'w ddweud am ba gynlluniau sydd gan y Llywodraeth i sicrhau bod tai yn cael eu hadeiladu i ateb galw ac anghenion cymunedol. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
