Heddiw, rwy’n cyhoeddi cynigion ar gyfer elfen cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer Comisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu yng Nghymru yn 2019\-20\. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys y dyraniadau cyllid refeniw craidd dros dro ar gyfer pob un o’r pedwar Comisiynydd Heddlu a Throseddu yng Nghymru.


Gan nad yw plismona wedi’i ddatganoli, bydd trefniant tair ffordd i’r cyllid ar gyfer heddluoedd Cymru, sy’n cynnwys y Swyddfa Gartref, Llywodraeth Cymru a’r Dreth Gyngor.


Mae fformiwla gyffredin sy’n seiliedig ar anghenion yn cael ei gweithredu gan y Swyddfa Gartref i ddosbarthu cyllid ar draws heddluoedd Cymru a Lloegr, ac mae’r dull o bennu a dosbarthu elfen Llywodraeth Cymru o’r ddarpariaeth cyllido heddlu wedi ei seilio ar yr egwyddor o sicrhau cysondeb a thegwch ar draws Cymru a Lloegr.


Fel sydd wedi digwydd yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf, mae’r Swyddfa Gartref unwaith eto wedi penderfynu defnyddio mecanwaith arian gwaelodol ar gyfer ei fformiwla sy’n seiliedig ar anghenion. Mae hyn yn sicrhau y gall pob heddlu yng Nghymru a Lloegr ddisgwyl cynnydd yn y cyllid a dderbyniant o 2\.1% ar gyfer 2019\-20 o’i gymharu ar sail gyfatebol â 2018\-19\.


Bydd y cyfanswm cymorth i heddluoedd yng Nghymru yn £357\.3 miliwn. O fewn y swm hwn, rwy’n awgrymu y dylid pennu cyfraniad Llywodraeth Cymru i gyllid yr heddlu ar gyfer 2019\-20 yn £143\.4 miliwn. Mae cyhoeddiad heddiw’n nodi dechrau cyfnod ymgynghori a ddaw i ben ar 10 Ionawr 2019\. Yn dilyn hyn, gall dyraniadau gael eu diwygio ar gyfer y Setliad Terfynol.


Nid yw’r cyfrifoldeb dros blismona yn fater sydd wedi’i ddatganoli ar hyn o bryd. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i gredu mewn datganoli’r gwasanaeth cyhoeddus pwysig hwn, ac yn dadlau dros wneud hynny. Mae polisi Llywodraeth y DU o gyni cyllidol wedi gorfodi toriadau sylweddol o ran arian parod ac mewn termau real i gyllid yr heddlu dros y 9 mlynedd ddiwethaf. Nid yw’r cyllid a ddarperir ar gyfer y Setliad hwn yn dadwneud y blynyddoedd o ddarpariaeth annigonol er mwyn galluogi heddluoedd i gynnal y lefelau presennol o wasanaeth. Bydd yn ofynnol i Gomisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu Cymru felly wneud penderfyniadau anodd wrth bennu lefel eu praesept y Dreth Gyngor. Canlyniad hyn fydd effaith anghymesur ar dalwyr y Dreth Gyngor sy’n ei chael yn fwyfwy anodd i dalu eu biliau. Mater i’r Swyddfa Gartref yw dosbarthu cyllid rhwng ardaloedd heddluoedd, ond rwyf i o’r farn y bydd heddluoedd yng Nghymru yn siomedig nad yw’r Setliad arfaethedig yn cefnogi plismona mewn ardaloedd gwledig nac yn ystyried y cyfrifoldebau ychwanegol sydd ynghlwm wrth blismona prifddinas Cymru.


Rwy’n dal i gredu mai datganoli’r maes plismona i Lywodraeth Cymru yw’r cam angenrheidiol nesaf.

Translation:


 
Today, I am publishing proposals for the Welsh Government component of funding to Police and Crime Commissioners in Wales for 2019\-20\. These include the provisional allocations of core revenue funding for each of the four Police and Crime Commissioners in Wales.


Whilst policing policy is not devolved, funding for the Welsh police forces is delivered through a 3\-way arrangement involving the Home Office, the Welsh Government and council tax.


A common needs\-based formula, operated by the Home Office, is used to distribute funding across English and Welsh police forces, and the approach to setting and distributing the Welsh Government component of police funding provision is based on a principle of ensuring consistency and fairness across England and Wales.


As in recent years, the Home Office has again decided to overlay its needs\-based formula with a floor mechanism. This ensures all police forces in England and Wales can expect to receive an increase in funding of 2\.1% for 2019\-20 when compared on a like\-for\-like basis with 2018\-19\.


The total support for police forces in Wales will be £357\.3 million. Within this, I propose to set the Welsh Government’s contribution to police funding for 2019‑20 at £143\.4 million. Today’s announcement marks the start of a consultation period which will end on 10 January 2019\. Following this, allocations may be revised for the Final Settlement.


Responsibility for policing is not currently devolved. Welsh Government continues to believe in, and to make the case for, devolution of this important public service. The UK Government’s policy of austerity has imposed significant cash and real terms cuts to police funding over the last 9 years. The overall funding provided for this Settlement does nothing to reverse years of under provision to enable police forces to maintain current levels of service and will require the Police and Crime Commissioners in Wales to make difficult choices in setting the level of their council tax precept. This will have a disproportionate impact on those council tax payers who will find it increasingly difficult to pay their bills. While decisions on the distribution of funding between police force areas is one for the Home Office, I believe that police forces in Wales will be disappointed that the proposed Settlement neither supports policing in rural areas nor takes account of the additional responsibilities which policing the capital city for Wales entails.


I continue to believe that devolution of policing to the Welsh Government is a necessary next step.
