English: I'm pleased to be able to contribute to this debate, although much of the credit for this work must go to my colleague Bethan Sayed, who worked tirelessly to ensure that this issue was placed further up the agenda, where it deserves to be. It's now just over 18 months since the tragedy of Grenfell fire demonstrated just how vulnerable some high-rise residential units are, and also the extent to which basic standards of health and safety just don't seem to apply to people who are on low incomes, especially those who belong to minority groups. I found it shocking, for example, that there is still no statutory regulation for people wishing to manage high-rise residential buildings. I also found it shocking that, during our evidence sessions, we heard that in France and Germany there are materials that are specifically prohibited in high-rise buildings, and that isn't the case here. Perhaps it's because France and Germany have political systems that are less likely to give preference to profit over people. We had a small example of this a decade ago, of course, where a modest proposal by the current Deputy Presiding Officer for sprinklers to be installed in homes was met with an unbelievable level of hysteria from the industry. Now, our report makes a number of recommendations about fire safety that would start to address that imbalance, and, frankly, they need to be implemented with urgency. So, I'm pleased that all but one of these recommendations have been accepted by the Welsh Government. I'm not entirely sure that they had much choice, given the consequences of not implementing these recommendations. But even once all of those recommendations are implemented, there still remains a wider piece of work that must be done to raise safety levels throughout the private housing sector. Too often in the past, these high-rise buildings have been places where people with low incomes have dwelled but not lived. They've had to put up with poor conditions and underinvestment in services to support their communities and absent landlords. Is it any wonder, then, that we found so many issues urgently needing addressing? And isn't it a shame that it's taken this tragedy to give us the opportunity to take a proper look at this?
Welsh: Rwy'n falch o allu cyfrannu at y ddadl hon, er bod yn rhaid i lawer o'r clod am y gwaith hwn fynd i fy nghyd-Aelod, Bethan Sayed, a weithiodd yn ddiflino i sicrhau bod y mater hwn yn cael ei osod yn uwch i fyny ar yr agenda, lle y mae'n haeddu bod. Bellach mae ychydig dros 18 mis ers i drychineb Grenfell ddangos pa mor agored i niwed yw rhai unedau preswyl mewn adeiladau uchel iawn, a hefyd y graddau nad yw safonau sylfaenol o ran iechyd a diogelwch yn berthnasol i bobl sydd ar incwm isel, yn enwedig pobl sy'n perthyn i grwpiau lleiafrifol. Cefais fy syfrdanu, er enghraifft, nad oes rheoliadau statudol yn bodoli o hyd ar gyfer pobl sy'n dymuno rheoli adeiladau preswyl uchel iawn. Hefyd, cefais fy syfrdanu ein bod wedi clywed yn ystod ein sesiynau tystiolaeth fod yna ddeunyddiau yn Ffrainc a'r Almaen a waherddir yn benodol mewn adeiladau uchel iawn, ac nid yw hynny'n wir yma. Efallai mai'r rheswm am hynny yw bod gan Ffrainc a'r Almaen systemau gwleidyddol sy'n llai tebygol o roi blaenoriaeth i elw dros bobl. Cawsom enghraifft fach o hyn ddegawd yn ôl, wrth gwrs, pan wynebodd cynnig cymharol fach gan y Dirprwy Lywydd presennol i osod systemau chwistrellu mewn cartrefi lefel anhygoel o hysteria ar ran y diwydiant. Nawr, mae ein hadroddiad yn gwneud nifer o argymhellion ynglŷn â diogelwch tân a fyddai'n dechrau mynd i'r afael â'r diffyg cydbwysedd hwnnw, ac a dweud y gwir, mae angen iddynt gael eu gweithredu ar fyrder. Felly, rwy'n falch fod pob un ond un o'r argymhellion hyn wedi'u derbyn gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Nid wyf yn hollol siŵr fod ganddynt lawer o ddewis, o ystyried canlyniadau peidio â gweithredu'r argymhellion hyn. Ond hyd yn oed pan weithredir pob un o'r argymhellion, mae gwaith ehangach sy'n rhaid ei wneud o hyd i godi lefelau diogelwch ledled y sector tai preifat. Yn rhy aml yn y gorffennol, mae adeiladau uchel iawn wedi bod yn fannau lle mae pobl ar incwm isel wedi bodoli yn hytrach na byw. Maent wedi gorfod dygymod ag amodau gwael a thanfuddsoddi mewn gwasanaethau i gefnogi eu cymunedau a landlordiaid absennol. A yw'n syndod felly ein bod wedi gweld cymaint o broblemau y mae angen mynd i'r afael â hwy ar frys? Ac onid yw'n drueni bod y drasiedi hon wedi gorfod digwydd i roi cyfle i ni edrych o ddifrif ar hyn?
