Minutes:
The Committee considered the petition and noted the significant difference of opinion between the petitioner and the Cabinet Secretary, and that two of the petitioner’s requests – potential compensation and a public inquiry - were beyond the Committee’s powers. In light of this, Members agreed to write to the Cabinet Secretary asking if she would be willing to meet with the petitioners, with the Chair available to attend any such meeting if necessary, and to then close the petition.

Minutes:
The Committee agreed to: write to the Welsh Government for confirmation of the position regarding the petitioners’ request for a public inquiry; write to the Equality and Social Justice Committee to ask to what extent it had looked at the situation in Caerau and how that had influenced the Government in its new Warm Homes programme; invite the petitioners and the local councillor supporting their campaign to come and meet with the Committee; and write to Bridgend County Borough Council to ask about progress with the remedial work funded by Welsh Government and the UK Government. In light of those agreed actions the Committee would keep the petition open.
