English: I thank David Melding for his comments, and I thank him also for indicating that the principles of the Bill will be supported. First of all, on the couple of questions that the Member raised around tenants and tenants' rights and disposal, the legislation technically does not affect the fundamental commitments made to tenants through our large-scale voluntary transfers, and will still have to deliver and maintain the Welsh housing quality standard, for example. I will give him more details as we move through the process of the scrutiny. In terms of the leverage of associations, I mentioned earlier the regulatory judgment framework and the performance standards of this, and this is a very powerful tool particularly of interest to the lenders. One is the Welsh Government as a primary lender, and also the private sector. This is something that RSLs are very keen to ensure that there is a balanced approach to, and we are very keen to pursue that on the basis that it is done properly and that scrutiny of these associations is done properly. This will result in the ability to lend long term, which is something that I'm sure RSLs will keep a very good eye on as a business risk to their association. Finally, regarding local authority representation, there was certainly local authority representation on there. This is, as we move forward, a discussion that we'll have in terms of how we make sure that the balance is right around scrutiny, tenants' representation and understanding their ability to influence housing associations. It's an important point the Member raises, and I look forward to working with him as we take the Bill forward.
Welsh: Diolch i David Melding am ei sylwadau, a diolch iddo hefyd am nodi y bydd egwyddorion y Bil yn cael eu cefnogi. Yn gyntaf oll, o ran y ddau gwestiwn a gododd yr Aelod ynghylch tenantiaid a hawliau tenantiaid a gwaredu, nid yw'r ddeddfwriaeth mewn gwirionedd yn effeithio ar yr ymrwymiadau sylfaenol a wnaed i denantiaid trwy ein trosglwyddiadau gwirfoddol ar raddfa fawr, a bydd yn rhaid iddyn nhw gyflawni a chynnal safon ansawdd tai Cymru o hyd, er enghraifft. Rhoddaf fwy o fanylion iddo wrth inni symud trwy'r broses g raffu. O ran dylanwad cymdeithasau, soniais yn gynharach am y fframwaith dyfarniad rheoleiddiol ac am safonau perfformiad hynny, ac mae hwn yn arf pwerus iawn, sydd o ddiddordeb arbennig i fenthycwyr. Un ohonynt yw Llywodraeth Cymru fel prif fenthyciwr, a hefyd y sector preifat. Mae hyn yn rhywbeth y mae LCC yn awyddus iawn i sicrhau bod ymagwedd gytbwys ato, ac rydym yn awyddus iawn i ddilyn hynny ar y sail ei fod yn cael ei wneud yn iawn a bod craffu ar y cymdeithasau hyn yn cael ei wneud yn iawn. Bydd hyn yn arwain at y gallu i fenthyg yn y tymor hir, sef rhywbeth rwy'n siŵr y bydd LCC yn cadw llygad craff arno fel risg busnes i'w cymdeithas. Yn olaf, o ran cynrychiolaeth awdurdodau lleol, roedd cynrychiolaeth awdurdod lleol yn sicr yno. Wrth i ni symud ymlaen, mae hon yn drafodaeth a gawn o ran sut y gallwn sicrhau bod y cydbwysedd yn iawn o ran craffu, cynrychiolaeth tenantiaid a deall eu gallu i ddylanwadu ar gymdeithasau tai. Mae'n bwynt pwysig y mae'r Aelod yn ei godi, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weithio gydag ef wrth inni ddatblygu'r Bil hwn.
