We want the act fully repealed. Temporary provisions lapsed in 2022, but we feel its framework lingering risks future democratic overreach. We think repeal restores normal oversight, ends emergency-era controls, & reflects lessons learned. We believe temporary measures should not outlast their need.

Question

When does the Welsh Government intend to limit the moratorium on forfeiture of commercial leases for non-payment of rent?

Answered by Minister for Economy

The mortarium contained in section 82(1) of the Coronavirus Act 2020 has ended.

The end of the temporary moratorium period contained in the Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act 2022 (“the 2022 Act”) depends on whether or not the matter of relief from payment of rent debt falling in scope of the protection of the 2022 Act was referred to the arbitration regime within six months, beginning on  the day on which the 2022 Act was passed.

Generally speaking, if there was such a referral, then the moratorium period for the purposes of the 2022 Act ends when the arbitration concludes, but if there was no such referral, then then the moratorium period for the purposes of the 2022 Act has ended. 

Question

What is the monitoring process for the use of COVID-19 emergency legislation?

Answered by Minister for Health and Social Services

The Coronavirus Act 2020 was passed by the UK Parliament in March 2020 and provided the UK Government and devolved administrations with additional powers to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The provisions in the 2020 Act were the result of significant and collaborative work between all four nations, and cover a range of matters including specific powers for Wales to be exercised by the Welsh Ministers.

The 2020 Act is due to expire at the end of the period of 2 years beginning with the day on which it is passed; on midnight 24 March 2022. The UK Government is required to review the non-devolved provisions of the 2020 Act every six months and the 2020 Act provides a mechanism enabling provisions to be expired earlier than the planned, at the 2 year expiry, or extended beyond the planned 2 year expiry as necessary. In relation to devolved provisions of the 2020 Act however this could not be done without the consent of the devolved administrations.

Alongside the powers in the 2020 Act, a wide range of coronavirus-related legislation has been made using pre-existing powers. For example The Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 5) (Wales) Regulations 2020 and The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Restrictions) (Amendment) (Wales) Regulations 2021 

Under these regulations the Welsh Ministers must review the need for the restrictions and requirements imposed by such Regulations, and whether those restrictions and requirements are proportionate to what the Welsh Ministers are seeking to achieve. The reviews for the Coronavirus Restrictions Regulations must be held at least every 21 days.

Written statements have been issued to inform Members of the making of key coronavirus-related legislation and to help improve the accessibility of Welsh law relating to coronavirus, subordinate legislation made by the Welsh Ministers in response to the pandemic has been published on a single page on the GOV.wales website (https://gov.wales/coronavirus-law), while statutory instruments also continue be published on the legislation.gov.uk website. 

While there is no statutory obligation on the Welsh Ministers to report on the use of these powers, the Minister for Health and Social Services gave an undertaking to the Senedd to do so. These reports includes details of all subordinate legislation relating to coronavirus made by or on behalf of the Welsh Ministers during a period of time, not just legislation which originates from the Coronavirus Act 2020. Three reports have been published to date and another report will be provided for the period September 2021 – March 2022. The reports are published on the GOV.wales (https://gov.wales/coronavirus-pandemic-legislation-reports-senedd-cymru).

Question

Will the Government confirm whether it intends to carry forward the six-month notice period for no-fault evictions past the end of December and, if so, will the Government commit to keeping this extended notice period in place until the Renting Homes (Wales) Act is implemented next year?

Answered by Minister for Climate Change

On Friday 17 December 2021, I laid the Coronavirus Act 2020 (Residential Tenancies: Extension of Period of Protection from Eviction) (No. 4) (Wales) Regulations 2021 in response to the ongoing pandemic. The number of people under immediate threat of eviction from their homes must be kept low, in order to continue to contribute to the range of measures in place that respond to the continuing effects of the pandemic. These regulations will be kept under review but will end on 24 March 2022, which is when the Coronavirus Act 2020 expires.

We are aiming to commence the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 before the 2022 summer recess, and I have committed to provide stakeholders with a minimum of six months’ notice of the implementation.  More broadly, providing renters with more security forms part of the Cooperation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.

Question

Will the First Minister explain the most recent guidance regarding the collection and disposal of the bodies of those who have lost their lives to COVID-19?

Answered by Minister for Finance and Local Government

The regulations issued by the Welsh Government on 14 September 2021 suspended the temporary emergency provisions relating to the transportation, storage and disposal of dead bodies introduced by section 58 of the Coronovirus Act 2020 in response to the onset of the pandemic (links to these are included below).  In consequence the regulations re-introduced the arrangements that applied prior to the enactment of the 2020 Act and at the start of the pandemic. In the event of further waves and spikes of infection the emergency provisions could be reintroduced when required.

Question

What assessment has the Minister made of the impact of the modification of local authorities care and support duties brought in by the Coronavirus Act 2020 on the well-being of unpaid carers in Wales?

Answered by Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services

We consider all the measures we have put in place, including those under the Coronavirus Act 2020. Our decisions will continue to be informed by the evidence and the prevailing conditions across our communities. 

We have established a range of measures to evidence the impact of the coronavirus across social care. Since March, we have provided a dedicated cross-sector weekly forum for stakeholders, including carers to engage on the commencement of the provisions and the associated guidance. It remains a key conduit for informing their repeal. 

In addition, we convened a dedicated task and finish group of policy officials and senior representatives from national carers’ organisations, which discusses a wide range of issues, including carers’ wellbeing, and the impact of the pandemic on carers, the impact of modifications to care and support services. This group will support us to consider the specific needs of a broad range of carers as lockdown restrictions are eased. 

The Carers’ Ministerial Advisory Group (MAG) remains the key strategic mechanism for advising Ministers about the issues that affect carers. I have attended virtual meetings of the group in late April and early July to hear directly about the impact of the coronavirus on carers, and the work across the public and third sector to support them. The MAG will be supporting us in developing our new national plan for carers, which will take into account the impact of coronavirus.
