English: I'm pleased to speak in this debate that calls to strengthen residents' rights in Wales. I'm also pleased that the building safety is a key component of the co-operation agreement between the Government and Plaid Cymru. Following a recent meeting with concerned residents, I tabled a written question to the Minister about enacting sections 116 to 125. The reason those sections haven't been enacted for Wales is because of the late amendments of those sections to the Bill, giving insufficient time to consider the full implications of those sections on Wales - another reason, I would suggest, Minister, why we shouldn't be using the LCM process and we should have our own emergency Welsh legislation, as mentioned by Mabon ap Gwynfor, but that is another argument. You did say in your reply to me that you are considering other legal protections and other options. Could you please expand today on what you mean by that? I'm also pleased to see the extension of the Defective Premises Act 1972 time period, with regard to addressing redress available to leaseholders when developers no longer exist. How far are you and your officials in coming along with this, and will residents be included in any discussions over this? While we are debating this very important issue in the Senedd, there are residents just around the corner from the Senedd, in Celestia, who are facing very expensive legal actions against large developers. What support can they receive right now from the Welsh Government? As has been highlighted, these residents have been living in a nightmare for over half a decade. What they need to know now, Minister, is: when will this nightmare come to an end? Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch o siarad yn y ddadl hon sy'n galw am gryfhau hawliau preswylwyr yng Nghymru. Rwy'n falch hefyd fod diogelwch adeiladau'n elfen allweddol o'r cytundeb cydweithio rhwng y Llywodraeth a Phlaid Cymru. Yn dilyn cyfarfod diweddar gyda phreswylwyr pryderus, cyflwynais gwestiwn ysgrifenedig i'r Gweinidog ynglŷn â deddfu adrannau 116 i 125. Y rheswm nad yw'r adrannau hynny wedi cael eu deddfu ar gyfer Cymru yw oherwydd diwygiadau hwyr i'r adrannau hynny o'r Bil, fel nad oedd digon o amser i ystyried goblygiadau llawn yr adrannau i Gymru - rheswm arall, carwn awgrymu, Weinidog, pam na ddylem fod yn defnyddio proses y cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol ac y dylem gael ein deddfwriaeth Gymreig ein hunain, fel y soniodd Mabon ap Gwynfor, ond dadl arall yw honno. Fe ddywedoch chi yn eich ateb i mi eich bod yn ystyried amddiffyniadau cyfreithiol eraill ac opsiynau eraill. A wnewch chi ehangu heddiw ar yr hyn a olygwch wrth hynny? Rwy'n falch hefyd o weld ymestyn cyfnod amser Deddf Mangreoedd Diffygiol 1972, o ran y camau unioni sydd ar gael i lesddeiliaid pan nad yw datblygwyr yn bodoli mwyach. Pa mor bell ydych chi a'ch swyddogion wedi mynd ar hyn, ac a fydd preswylwyr yn cael eu cynnwys mewn unrhyw drafodaethau ynglŷn â hyn? Tra ein bod ni'n trafod y mater pwysig hwn yn y Senedd, mae yna breswylwyr rownd y gornel o'r Senedd, yn Celestia, sy'n wynebu camau cyfreithiol drud iawn yn erbyn datblygwyr mawr. Pa gefnogaeth y gallant ei chael nawr gan Lywodraeth Cymru? Fel y nodwyd, mae'r preswylwyr hyn wedi bod yn byw drwy hunllef ers dros hanner degawd. Maent angen gwybod nawr, Weinidog: pryd y daw'r hunllef i ben? Diolch yn fawr.
