Ar 18 Tachwedd, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth y DU ei hymateb llawn i’r argymhellion ar ddiwygio ariannol yn adroddiad cyntaf y Comisiwn ar Ddatganoli yng Nghymru (Comisiwn Silk).

Heddiw rwy’n cyhoeddi ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i gyhoeddiad Llywodraeth y DU, sy’n adlewyrchu’r ffaith fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dadlau’n gyson o blaid gweithredu adroddiad cyntaf Silk yn llawn.

Yn benodol, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi croesawu cytundeb Llywodraeth y DU i:  


* ddatganoli Treth Tir y Doll Stamp;
* datganoli Treth Tirlenwi;
* datganoli pwerau benthyca, gan gynnwys mynediad cynnar i fenthyca er mwyn ariannu’r gwaith o wella’r M4 (yn amodol ar ganlyniad yr ymgynghoriad presennol);
* galluogi’r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol i alw am refferendwm ar ddatganoli gwahanol bwerau i amrywio trethi ar gyfer treth incwm.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn siomedig gan benderfyniad Llywodraeth y DU:  


* i beidio â datganoli’r Doll Teithwyr Awyr ar gyfer teithiau awyr hir uniongyrchol;
* i beidio â rhoi cyfle i Gymru amrywio cyfraddau treth incwm yn annibynnol.

Translation:


 
On 18 November, the UK Government issued its full response to the recommendations for financial reform contained in the first report by the Commission on Devolution in Wales (the 'Silk Commission').


I am publishing today the Welsh Government's position on the UK Government's announcement, which reflects the fact that the Welsh Government has consistently argued in favour of full implementation of the first Silk report.


In particular, the Welsh Government has welcomed the UK Government's agreement to:


* devolve Stamp Duty Land Tax;
* devolve Landfill Tax;
* devolve borrowing powers, including early access to borrowing to fund an enhancement of the M4 (subject to the outcome of the current consultation);
* enable the National Assembly to call a referendum on the devolution of rate varying powers for income tax.


The Welsh Government is disappointed by the UK Government's decision:


* not to devolve direct long\-haul Air Passenger Duty;
* not to allow Wales the opportunity to vary income tax rates independently.


A link to the Welsh Government's position paper is attached.
