Drakeford open to private rent controls

SENEDD members quizzed Mark Drakeford on housing issues in Wales during First Minister’s Questions today.
Plaid Cymru’s Mabon ap Gwynfor wanted to see a system to control rents in the private sector and asked Mr Drakeford if he accepted “that a new kind of rent control linked to the quality of housing could also work here in Wales.”
The First Minister replied that his government was open to exploring ideas to control private rents and wanted to draw evidence from around the world.
