We remain committed to doing everything we can to secure the future of the Tata plants in Wales working closely with the Trades Unions and Tata Steel.  Whilst a very difficult economic trading position remains and actions need to be addressed at a UK level, especially on energy prices, I am pleased that this week has seen much positive news for the Tata Steel workforce.    

  

Our work to find a sustainable future for steel, which sees the retention of production and jobs in Wales, has taken up a substantial amount of our time since Tata Steel decided to sell its UK operations.  We have been working tirelessly with the company at all levels to define what packages of support can help facilitate the delivery of this transformation plan, as well as the wider investments.    

  

Innovation and working to high environmental standards are critical to ensuring the steel industry in Wales is globally competitive and has a long term future here.  Tata has therefore agreed to make South Wales one of its two main R\&D sites in the UK.  It will also explore the development of new products at Port Talbot.   This further bolsters Wales’ position as being at the beating heart of the UK steel industry.    

  

Whilst yesterday’s agreement reached by Tata Steel and the Trades Unions was a significant step forwards to securing long term viability of Tata’s operations in Wales, this  package will support the turnaround of Tata’s operations to a more sustainable footing.  

  

Today, I can announce the next tranche in a series of major investments as part of an ongoing programme of support to secure the long term future of the Tata Steel works in Wales.  This includes £8m towards an £18m investment in the power plant which will reduce energy costs and cut carbon emissions at Port Talbot, together with plans for a new research and development base in Swansea.  This support will be contingent on legally binding conditions, protecting both jobs and investment in Welsh plants, regardless of future ownership.  

  

Yesterday, I informed Members that we had agreed with Tata Steel a £4m investment in skills across all Tata plants in Wales.  We also welcomed the news that Tata Steel had reached agreement with the Trades Unions.

Rydym yn gwbl ymrwymedig o hyd i wneud popeth yn ein gallu i ddiogelu dyfodol gweithfeydd Tata yng Nghymru, gan weithio’n glos â’r Undebau Llafur a Tata Steel.  Er bod yr amodau masnachu economaidd yn dal yn anodd a bod problemau ar lefel y DU y mae angen eu datrys, yn enwedig o ran prisiau ynni, rwy’n falch bod gweithlu Tata Steel wedi cael llawer o newyddion calonogol yr wythnos hon  
  
Mae’n hymdrechion i sicrhau dyfodol cynaliadwy ar gyfer dur, gan gynnwys cadw cynhyrchiant a swyddi yng Nghymru, wedi mynd â llawer iawn o’n hamser ers i Tata Steel gyhoeddi’r bwriad i werthu ei safleoedd yn y DU.  Rydym wedi bod yn gweithio’n ddiflino â’r cwmni ar bob lefel i weld pa becynnau cymorth allai helpu i roi’r cynllun gweddnewid hwn, ynghyd â’r buddsoddiadau eraill, ar waith  
  
Rhaid wrth arloesedd a’r safonau amgylcheddol uchaf os ydym am weld y diwydiant dur yng Nghymru yn cystadlu â’r byd ac yn sicrhau dyfodol tymor hir iddo yma.  Mae Tata felly wedi cytuno i wneud y De yn un o’i ddau brif safle Ymchwil a Datblygu yn y DU.  Bydd yn ymchwilio hefyd i’r posibilrwydd o ddatblygu cynnyrch newydd ym Mhorth Talbot. Bydd hynny’n cryfhau safle canolog ac allweddol Cymru yn niwydiant dur y DU.   
  
Er bod y cytundeb ddoe rhwng Tata Steel a’r Undebau Llafur yn gam pwysig ymlaen i ddiogelu dyfodol tymor hir gweithfeydd Tata yng Nghymru, bydd y pecyn hwn yn helpu i roi gwaith Tata ar sylfeini mwy cynaliadwy.   
  
Heddiw, gallaf gyhoeddi’r cam nesaf mewn cyfres o fuddsoddiadau mawr sy’n rhan o raglen o gymorth i ddiogelu dyfodol tymor hir gweithfeydd Tata Steel yng Nghymru.  Bydd y cam hwn yn cynnwys £8m at fuddsoddiad o £18m yn y pwerdy i ostwng costau ynni a lleihau allyriadau carbon ym Mhorth Talbot, ynghyd â mewn canolfan ymchwil a datblygu newydd yn Abertawe.  Ynghlwm wrth yr help hwn bydd amod cyfreithiol i ddiogelu swyddi a buddsoddiad mewn gweithfeydd yng Nghymru, waeth pwy fydd yn berchen arnyn nhw yn y dyfodol.   
  
Dywedais wrth Aelodau ddoe ein bod wedi cytuno â Tata Steel i fuddsoddi £4m mewn sgiliau yn holl weithfeydd Tata yng Nghymru.  Dywedais hefyd am y newyddion da fod Tata Steel wedi dod i gytundeb gyda’r Undebau Llafur.
