English: Diolch, Llywydd. I've already addressed the issues on the Human Rights Act in terms of the LJC committee. We are very satisfied that the Act complies with all of the human rights legislation, as Huw set out. In terms of the points that Janet made, the number of landlords fluctuates over time as new landlords enter the market and others leave. So, she's quite right in saying that figures from Rent Smart Wales indicate just over 4,500 de-registrations over the past three financial years, some of which could of course have been incorrect duplications. There were also nearly 30,000 new landlord registrations during the same period. It's always good to read to the bottom of the page, I say. So, there's no direct link to the number of private rental properties as the number of properties held by each landlord can also change. I understand that the latest figures from Rent Smart Wales indicate that the number of PRS properties is similar to the published dwelling stock estimates, which have remained at just over 200,000 since around 2015 - so, despite the dire warnings about the same in the stock. Obviously, the changes in legislation may introduce some resulting reduction in the flexibility a landlord currently has, but the legislation will not significantly affect the most important driver for investment in the private rented sector, which is of course the rate of return on the investment. In terms of Mabon's first point, the Act already provides for a new fitness obligation on landlords, and protects tenants against retaliatory eviction if they seek repairs. There is plain language guidance on the contract, which will be available. I have already considered the religious orders point, Mabon. We had an extensive conversation during the passage of the amendment Act with them, and I've advised the church that if it, or any other denominational faith group or ministers or faith leaders, require advice as to the application of the law to their particular arrangements, they will need to seek that independently. That should then be discrete as to the application of the law. It will be a matter for the courts to make the determination. So, I'm afraid that I have no intention of excluding properties occupied for ministers of religion or other faith leaders, for that matter, nor of retaining a two-month landlords' notice period for church-owned properties, as I consider that people who are tenants of the church are entitled to the same amount of protection as other people. Other than that, Llywydd, I think that I covered all points in my opening remarks, and I commend the regulations to the Senedd.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rwyf eisoes wedi mynd i'r afael â'r materion ar y Ddeddf Hawliau Dynol o ran y Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a'r Cyfansoddiad. Rydym yn fodlon iawn bod y Ddeddf yn cydymffurfio â'r holl ddeddfwriaeth hawliau dynol, fel y nododd Huw. O ran y pwyntiau a wnaeth Janet, mae nifer y landlordiaid yn amrywio dros amser wrth i landlordiaid newydd fynd i mewn i'r farchnad ac eraill yn gadael. Felly, mae hi yn llygad ei lle wrth ddweud bod ffigurau gan Rhentu Doeth Cymru yn dangos ychydig dros 4,500 o achosion o ddadgofrestru dros y tair blynedd ariannol ddiwethaf, a gallai rhai ohonyn nhw, wrth gwrs, fod wedi bod yn ddyblygiadau anghywir. Roedd bron i 30,000 o gofrestriadau landlordiaid newydd hefyd yn ystod yr un cyfnod. Mae bob amser yn dda darllen i waelod y dudalen, fe ddywedaf i. Felly, nid oes cysylltiad uniongyrchol â nifer yr eiddo rhent preifat gan y gall nifer yr eiddo a ddelir gan bob landlord newid hefyd. Rwy'n deall bod y ffigurau diweddaraf gan Rhentu Doeth Cymru yn dangos bod nifer yr eiddo yn y Sector Rhentu Preifat yn debyg i'r amcangyfrifon stoc anheddau cyhoeddedig, sydd wedi aros ychydig dros 200,000 ers tua 2015 - felly, er gwaethaf y rhybuddion enbyd am yr un peth yn y stoc. Yn amlwg, gall y newidiadau mewn deddfwriaeth gyflwyno rhywfaint o leihad dilynol yn yr hyblygrwydd sydd gan landlord ar hyn o bryd, ond ni fydd y ddeddfwriaeth yn effeithio'n sylweddol ar y sbardun pwysicaf ar gyfer buddsoddi yn y sector rhentu preifat, sef cyfradd yr enillion ar y buddsoddiad wrth gwrs. O ran pwynt cyntaf Mabon, mae'r Ddeddf eisoes yn darparu ar gyfer rhwymedigaeth ffitrwydd newydd ar landlordiaid, ac yn amddiffyn tenantiaid rhag cael eu troi allan yn ddialgar os ydynt yn ceisio gwaith atgyweirio. Ceir canllawiau iaith clir ar y contract, a fydd ar gael. Rwyf eisoes wedi ystyried y pwynt gorchmynion crefyddol, Mabon. Cawsom sgwrs helaeth yn ystod hynt y Ddeddf ddiwygio gyda nhw, ac rwyf wedi dweud wrth yr eglwys, os oes angen cyngor ar gymhwyso'r gyfraith i'w trefniadau penodol, os bydd angen cyngor arnyn nhw, neu unrhyw grwpiau ffydd enwadol eraill neu arweinwyr ffydd. Dylai hynny wedyn fod ar wahân o ran cymhwyso'r gyfraith. Mater i'r llysoedd fydd gwneud y penderfyniad. Felly, mae arnaf ofn nad oes gennyf unrhyw fwriad i eithrio eiddo a feddiannir ar gyfer gweinidogion crefydd neu arweinwyr ffydd eraill, o ran y mater hwnnw, na chadw cyfnod rhybudd o ddau fis ar gyfer eiddo sy'n eiddo i'r eglwys, gan fy mod o'r farn bod gan bobl sy'n denantiaid yr eglwys hawl i'r un faint o ddiogelwch â phobl eraill. Heblaw am hynny, Llywydd, rwy'n credu i mi ymdrin â phob pwynt yn fy sylwadau agoriadol, ac rwy'n cymeradwyo'r rheoliadau i'r Senedd.
