Evidence will be given by Shelter Cymru, Community Housing Cymru and the Welsh Local Government Association among an afternoon of evidence being taken.

Committees, where MSs take evidence about specific issues or grill ministers, take place every day.
Welsh MPs take part in proceedings in London during the week too. The House sits from Monday afternoon, usually until Thursday.
