Daw’r penderfyniad hwn cyn i Lywodraeth Cymru gyflwyno deddfwriaeth i ddiddymu'r Hawl i Brynu ledled Cymru.

 Mae'r Hawl i Brynu yn caniatáu i denantiaid tai cymdeithasol cymwys ledled y DU brynu eu tai sy'n eiddo i gyngor neu gymdeithas dai, gyda disgownt. Bydd y ddeddfwriaeth arfaethedig yn rhoi terfyn ar yr hawliau hyn, gan ddiogelu stoc y tai cymdeithasol rhag cael ei lleihau ymhellach. 

 Dros y 30 mlynedd ddiwethaf, mae'r Hawl i Brynu wedi arwain at leihad sylweddol yn stoc y tai cymdeithasol. Rhwng 1981 a 2014, cafodd 138,709 o dai cyngor eu gwerthu – mae hyn yn cyfateb i leihad o 45% o ran y tai cymdeithasol sydd ar gael ers i'r polisi gael ei gyflwyno am y tro cyntaf. 

 Mae ymchwil yn awgrymu hefyd fod llawer o'r tai hyn yn mynd i'r sector rhentu preifat yn y diwedd ac, o ganlyniad, maent yn ddrutach i bobl eu rhentu, sy'n golygu, mewn rhai achosion, fod mwy o arian cyhoeddus yn cael ei wario ar fudd\-dal tai.

 Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog:

 
> “Rwyf wedi cytuno â chais Cyngor Sir y Fflint i atal dros dro yr Hawl i Brynu er mwyn eu helpu nhw i ddelio â'r pwysau sydd ar eu tai cymdeithasol ac i sicrhau bod tai ar gael ar gyfer y rheini sydd eu hangen.
> 
>  “Er y bydd hyn yn helpu un ardal am gyfnod byr o amser, mae angen i ni fynd i'r afael â'r mater hwn ar gyfer y tymor hir hefyd. Dyna pam y byddwn yn cyflwyno deddfwriaeth i ddiddymu'r Hawl i Brynu yng Nghymru.
> 
>  “Mae'r Hawl i Brynu yn erydu ein stoc o dai cymdeithasol. Mae'r polisi niweidiol hwn yn rhoi pwysau ymhellach ar ein cyflenwad o dai cymdeithasol ac yn gorfodi llawer o bobl sy'n agored i niwed i aros yn hirach cyn cael cartref.
> 
>  “Cyflwyno deddfwriaeth i ddod â'r Hawl i Brynu i ben yw'r unig ffordd sicr o atal hyn ac o roi'r hyder i landlordiaid cymdeithasol i fuddsoddi mewn adeiladu mwy o'r tai fforddiadwy y mae eu hangen yng Nghymru.”

The move comes ahead of the Welsh Government introducing legislation to abolish the Right to Buy across the whole of Wales.

 The Right to Buy allows eligible social housing tenants across the UK to buy their council or housing association property at a discount. The proposed legislation will end these rights, protecting social housing stock from further reduction.

 Over the past 30 years, the Right to Buy has resulted in a significant reduction in social housing stock. Between 1981 and 2014, 138,709 council homes were sold – this is a 45% reduction in the social housing available since the policy was first introduced. 

 Research also indicates that many of these homes end up in the private rented sector and, as a result, cost local people more to rent and, in some cases, the public purse more in housing benefit.

 The First Minister said:

 
> “I have agreed to Flintshire council’s application to suspend the Right to Buy to help them deal with the pressure their social housing is facing and to ensure that homes are available to those who need them. 
> 
>  “While this will help one area for a short period of time, we also need to address this issue for the long term. This is why we will be introducing legislation to abolish the Right to Buy in Wales. 
> 
>  “The Right to Buy is depleting our social housing stock. This damaging policy is further increasing the pressure on our social housing supply and is forcing many vulnerable people to wait longer for a home.
> 
>  “Legislating to end the Right to Buy is the only sure way to prevent this and give social landlords the confidence to invest in building more of the affordable homes Wales needs.”
