English: I thank the Minister for bringing forward these regulations today. They've been a long time coming. This Act has developed to be something of a joke, in truth, over recent years. The truth is that the Government and the Labour Party in particular should be asking very serious questions of themselves about how we got to this point and why they pushed through legislation back in 2016 that was clearly far from being ready. It was said that the Brexit policy was 'oven ready'; the legislation on renting homes must have come out of the same oven. It should never have got to this point, but the truth is, better late than never. I regret that we are not going to agree on a policy of suspending no-fault evictions today, and I would like to see the Minister take this opportunity today to explain why the Government doesn't believe that we should prevent people from being evicted on a no-fault basis - a policy that's already in force in Scotland, for example. But this statement is very timely. We are seeing an unprecedented number of people presenting with section 21 notices at present, and there are several reasons for this. The Local Government and Housing Committee has received evidence from a number of bodies talking about the numbers of people suffering because of section 21. One of the main reasons is because of the concern about implementing this legislation, but it is clear that there has been a grave misunderstanding about the impact of the legislation. So, will the Minister also give us an assurance today that there is a full communications programme to be implemented for the landlord sector, explaining, in a simple and clear way how the legislation will affect that sector? In light of the fact that seven years have passed since the legislation was passed, this should already have been done, but it's clear that the sector has not understood the full implications of the Act. But, as I mentioned, there is a grave need to take urgent action to help our tenants, and so we will be supporting these regulations today. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog am ddod â'r rheoliadau yma ymlaen heddiw. Hir yw pob ymaros, wedi'r cyfan. Mae'r Ddeddf yma wedi datblygu i fod yn dipyn o jôc, mewn gwirionedd, ar hyd y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Y gwir ydy y dylai'r Llywodraeth a'r Blaid Lafur yn bennaf fod yn holi cwestiynau difrifol iawn iddyn nhw eu hunain am sut inni gyrraedd y pwynt yma a pham y bydd iddyn nhw wthio deddfwriaeth nôl yn 2016 a oedd yn amlwg ymhell o fod yn barod. Roedd yna sôn fod y polisi Brexit, os cofiwch chi, yn oven ready; mae'n rhaid bod deddfwriaeth rhentu Cymru wedi dod o'r un popty. Ni ddylen ni fyth wedi cyrraedd y sefyllfa yma, ond, y gwir ydy mai gwell hwyr na hwyrach. Dwi yn gresynu nad ydyn ni am gytuno ar bolisi o atal troi pobl allan yn ddi-fai heddiw, ac fe hoffwn i'r Gweinidog gymryd y cyfle yma heddiw i esbonio pam nad ydy'r Llywodraeth yn credu y dylid atal pobl rhag cael eu troi allan yn ddi-fai - polisi sydd eisoes mewn grym yn yr Alban, er enghraifft. Ond mae'r datganiad yma yn un amserol. Rydyn ni'n gweld y nifer digynsail o bobl yn cael eu cyflwyno i lythyrau adran 21 ar hyn o bryd, ac mae yna sawl rheswm am hyn. Mae'r Pwyllgor Llywodraeth Leol a Thai wedi derbyn tystiolaeth gan nifer o gyrff yn sôn am y niferoedd o bobl sydd yn dioddef oherwydd adran 21. Un o'r rhesymau ydy oherwydd y pryder am weithredu'r ddeddfwriaeth yma, ond mae'n amlwg fod yna gamddealltwriaeth dybryd wedi bod o effaith y ddeddfwriaeth. Felly, a wnaiff y Gweinidog hefyd roi sicrwydd inni heddiw fod yna rhaglen gyfathrebu lawn am gael ei gweithredu i'r sector landlordiaid yn esbonio, mewn modd syml a chlir, sut mae'r ddeddfwriaeth yma am effeithio ar y sector honno? Wrth ystyried bod yna saith mlynedd wedi mynd heibio ers i'r ddeddfwriaeth gael ei phasio, dylid wedi gwneud hyn ynghynt, ond mae'n amlwg nad ydy'r sector wedi deall yn llawn goblygiadau'r Ddeddf. Ond, fel y soniais, mae yna dybryd angen cymryd camau i helpu'n tenantiaid, a hynny ar frys, ac felly, mi fyddwn ni'n cefnogi'r rheoliadau yma heddiw yn frwd. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
