Commenting on the Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru call for evidence on securing a path towards adequate housing, including fair rents and affordability, Janet said:
“More socialist and nationalist red tape and consultations are not going to reduce rents and deliver more affordable housing. Instead of focussing on doubling our new house building rate in Wales, the Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru cooperation government are focussed on attacking the tourism sector, alienating visitors, and driving private landlords out of Wales.
“I have repeatedly delivered a clear plan to the Welsh Parliament that would deliver more houses, more social and affordable homes, and more homes to rent in Wales. The Renting Homes (Wales) Act has caused a tsunami of landlords to leave the sector. It needs to be scrapped.
“I am fighting to deliver homes for local people. All Labour and Plaid Cymru are doing is providing a false façade that they are tackling the problem of lack of housing when in reality they are making the crisis worse, pushing more families into temporary accommodation, alienating landlords, and villainising visitors.”
