Welsh students attending universities in other parts of the UK where fees are set to increase will gain extra support through a top\-up to the financial support they receive.

 The support package will include:

  * Tuition fee support consisting of a grant of up to £4,954 and a loan of up to £4,046 during the academic year 2017/18 for those studying in Wales.
* There will be an additional fee loan made available to students ordinarily resident in Wales whose fees increase as a result of changes elsewhere in the UK. So a full\-time course costing £9250 will be supported by a Tuition Fee Grant of £4954, and a Tuition Fee Loan of up to £4,296\.
* A means\-tested Welsh Government Learning Grant (maintenance grant) of up to £5,161 depending on household income.
* A postgraduate loan scheme for students ordinarily resident in Wales should be available for students studying in 2017/18, subject to appropriate regulations being brought forward.

  Education Secretary Kirsty Williams said:

 
> “This decision gives certainty for those who want to go to university for the academic year 2017/18, giving people the option to study where they choose, including in England where tuition fees are set to increase. I am pleased to announce that we are also developing a new post\-graduate loan scheme following our recent consultation.”

Gwnaeth y Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol gynnal nifer o ymarferion gyda'r plant gan gynnwys chwarae gyda "germau" anweledig, ysgwyd llaw a'r her "golchi welis". 

Diben y digwyddiad oedd dysgu'r plant sut mae germau ac afiechydon yn cael eu lledaenu a phwysigrwydd glanhau'n drylwyr er mwyn atal clefydau heintus megis Clwy'r Traed a'r Genau.

Dosbarthwyd taflenni am bioddiogelwch hefyd yn ystod y Sioe ac fe'u rhannwyd â stondinau partner i godi ymwybyddiaeth am bwysigrwydd y mater.

Bioddiogelwch yw'r ffordd y gall ffermwyr a pherchnogion anifeiliaid fferm leihau'r perygl o glefydau. Mae'n hanfodol lleihau lledaeniad clefydau, yn enwedig clefydau heintus iawn megis Clwy'r Traed a'r Genau.  Mae bioddiogelwch gwell yn darparu tawelwch meddwl, stoc iach a busnes mwy llwyddiannus.

Meddai'r Prif Swyddog Milfeddygol, Christianne Glossop:


> "Gall clefydau gael effaith ddinistriol ar dda byw, bywoliaeth ffermwyr a'n heconomi wledig. Dyna pam taw cadw anifeiliaid yn iach a rhwystro clefydau rhag lledaenu yw fy mlaenoriaeth bennaf.  
> 
> "Bioddiogelwch yw'r cam diogelwch cyntaf yn erbyn clefydau heintus difrifol hysbysadwy. Mae'n helpu i sicrhau bod anifeiliaid yn iach, mae'n rhwystro clefydau rhag lledaenu a gall wneud y fferm yn fwy effeithlon a phroffidiol. 
> 
> "Mae'n bosib mai'r plant y gwnes i gwrdd â nhw heddiw fydd ffermwyr y dyfodol. Felly mae'n hanfodol ein bod yn eu haddysgu mewn ffordd hwyliog ac effeithiol am bwysigrwydd bioddiogelwch i gadw anifeiliaid yn iach a chynnal cefn gwlad iach a bywiog."

The CVO carried out a number of exercises with the children including playing with "invisible" germ, shaking hands and a “dirty or clean” challenge. 

The purpose of the event was to raise awareness about how germs and bugs are spread and the importance of thorough cleaning in preventing highly infectious diseases such as Foot and Mouth disease.

Leaflets about biosecurity were also handed out during the Show and shared with partner stands to raise awareness of the importance of the issue. 

Biosecurity is the way farmers and owners of farm animals can reduce the risk of disease. It is essential to reduce disease spread, particularly of highly infectious diseases such as Foot and Mouth disease.  Good biosecurity practices provides peace of mind, healthy stock and a more viable business.

The Chief Veterinary Officer, Christianne Glossop said:


> “An outbreak of disease can have a devastating effect on livestock, farmers’ livelihoods and our rural economy. That is why keeping animals healthy and preventing the spread of disease is my absolute number one priority.  
> 
> “Biosecurity is our first line of defence against serious notifiable infectious diseases. It helps ensure animals remain healthy, prevents the spread of diseases and can improve farms’ efficiency and profitability. 
> 
> “The children I met today could one day be the farmers of the future. It’s vital therefore that we educate them in a fun but also informative way about the importance role biosecurity plays in keeping animals healthy and maintaining a healthy, vibrant countryside.”

A series of workshops on the implementation of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (WFG) were co\-designed and delivered by the Welsh Government (WG) and WWF Cymru earlier this year. The workshops aimed to agree how the implementation of the Act can be achieved and demonstrated.  They looked at what needs to improve and how third sector stakeholders can be involved more effectively in the future.    

  

Key areas for action include procurement, policy integration, capacity and capability, and the need for a “whole government” approach, together with the emphasis on the five ways of working.    

  

I will continue to oversee this action and would like to thank WWF Cymru for working with us.  

  

The report will be made available in the autumn.

2019/20 is the first year of the 64% statutory recycling target rate, having previously been at 58% since 2015/16\.


The breakdown by Local Authority shows 18 of the 22 have delivered against the increased target in the very first year. With three local authorities in Wales having achieved a level which exceeds the next target of 70% by 2025\.


The figures show 1\.51 million tonnes of material was generated within Local Authorities in Wales in 2019\-20, a decrease of almost 2\.0 per cent on 2018\-19\. Nearly a million tonnes (984,935 tonnes) of which was recycled, re\-used or composted.


Since devolution the Welsh Government has invested £1 billion in household recycling.


Welcoming the achievement, Environment Minister Lesley Griffiths said:



> “For Wales as a whole to exceed the target in the first year is testament to the considerable effort everyone has put in. We could not have achieved a record year for recycling in Wales without the hard work of our local authorities and households across Wales and I’d like to particularly congratulate those authorities who have exceeded the next target five years early.”
> 
> 
> “Wales is already a recycling nation and we are rightly proud of our achievements.  These figures not only show that we are on track in meeting our goal of zero waste by 2050, but also show the progress being made towards a circular, low carbon economy.”

Today, I am publishing the summary of responses to the recent consultation on non\-domestic rates improvement relief in Wales. The consultation ran for 12 weeks from 16 May until 8 August 2023\.


Respondents to the consultation were generally in favour of the proposals to provide improvement relief and provided a range of comments. I am grateful for the detailed and considered responses from stakeholders. These will help to ensure the proposals meet the policy intention to support business and other ratepayers to make improvements to the properties they occupy to support their businesses and growth.


The Welsh Government will bring forward the secondary legislation required to provide for improvement relief, in line with the proposals, and it remains our intention that the regulations will come into force on 1 April 2024\. This is subject to the passage through its final stages in Parliament of the UK Government’s Non\-Domestic Rating Bill, which will introduce the provisions under which the relief will be provided.

In May 2019 I advised Members that work had begun to create a separate, dedicated planning appeals service for Wales, to take over the functions of the Planning Inspectorate in Wales.  I am now delighted to report that the new service, which will be known as Planning and Environment Decisions Wales, will launch on 01 October. 


The staff and functions of the Planning Inspectorate’s Wales Division have transferred into Welsh Government to carry out this function, in accordance with the Cabinet Office’s Statement of Practice on staff transfers in the public sector.  This has ensured the new service will be fully operational from the outset, and has retained the considerable expertise required to carry out its duties. 


The service will reside within the Welsh Government, with robust governance arrangements in place to ensure Inspectors will continue to operate impartially and objectively. 


Wales now has its own, dedicated service for scrutinising draft Development Plans, and determining applications for Developments of National Significance, planning appeals and associated environmental casework.  This will ensure all parts of Government are responsive to the need for effective implementation of the devolved framework for planning and environment legislation and policy.

Mae staff a swyddogaethau Is\-adran Arolygiaeth Gynllunio Cymru wedi trosglwyddo i Lywodraeth Cymru i gyflawni'r swyddogaeth hon, yn unol â Datganiad Ymarfer Swyddfa'r Cabinet ar drosglwyddo staff yn y sector cyhoeddus.  Mae hyn wedi sicrhau y bydd y gwasanaeth newydd yn gwbl weithredol o'r cychwyn cyntaf, ac wedi cadw'r arbenigedd sylweddol sydd ei angen i gyflawni ei ddyletswyddau. 


Bydd y gwasanaeth yn rhan o Lywodraeth Cymru a bydd trefniadau llywodraethu cadarn ar waith i sicrhau y bydd Arolygwyr yn parhau i weithredu'n ddiduedd ac yn wrthrychol. 


Erbyn hyn, mae gan Gymru ei gwasanaeth ymroddedig ei hun ar gyfer craffu ar Gynlluniau Datblygu drafft, a phenderfynu ar geisiadau am Ddatblygiadau o Arwyddocâd Cenedlaethol, apeliadau cynllunio a gwaith achos amgylcheddol cysylltiedig.  Bydd hyn yn sicrhau bod pob rhan o'r Llywodraeth yn ymateb i'r angen i weithredu'r fframwaith datganoledig yn effeithiol ar gyfer deddfwriaeth a pholisi ym maes cynllunio a'r amgylchedd.

I would like to draw Members' attention to the The effects of COVID\-19 on Welsh language community groups \- survey findings report which has been published today**.**


The coronavirus pandemic has had a colossal impact on how we relate to each other in the community. It has also made us think about how the pandemic might affect Welsh\-speaking community groups, which play a key role in enabling people to speak Welsh with each other.


I established a Sub Group of the Welsh Language Partnership Council, chaired by Dr Simon Brooks, to undertake a review of the impact of Covid\-19 on Welsh\-speaking community groups.


This report presents the findings of a survey carried out by the Sub\-group as part of their review, which helps us to understand how Welsh\-speaking community groups have responded since the beginning of the crisis.


I would like to take the opportunity to thank Simon for his guidance, the members of the Sub\-group and the Mentrau Iaith for their thorough and rapid work in completing this important work.

Hoffwn dynnu sylw Aelodau at adroddiad Effaith Covid\-19 ar grwpiau cymunedol Cymraeg – canfyddiadau arolwg a gyhoeddwyd heddiw.


Mae pandemig y coronafeirws wedi cael effaith enfawr ar sut rydym yn ymwneud â phobl eraill yn ein cymunedau. Mae hefyd wedi gwneud i ni feddwl am sut y gallai hyn effeithio ar grwpiau cymunedol Cymraeg, sy'n allweddol o ran galluogi pobl i siarad Cymraeg gyda’i gilydd.


Sefydlais Is\-grŵp Cynyddu Defnydd y Gymraeg, Cyngor Partneriaeth y Gymraeg, o dan gadeiryddiaeth y Dr Simon Brooks, i gynnal adolygiad o effaith Covid\-19 ar grwpiau cymunedol Cymraeg.


Mae’r adroddiad hwn yn cyflwyno canfyddiadau arolwg a gynhaliwyd gan yr Is\-grŵp fel rhan o'u hadolygiad, sy’n ein helpu i ddeall sut mae grwpiau cymunedol Cymraeg wedi ymateb ers dechrau’r argyfwng.


Hoffwn gymryd y cyfle i ddiolch i Simon am ei arweiniad, i aelodau’r Is\-grŵp ac i’r Mentrau Iaith am eu gwaith trylwyr a chyflym i gyflawni’r gwaith pwysig hwn.

Bydd y gwaith ffordd rhwng cyffyrdd 47 a 49 yn digwydd rhwng mis Awst a mis Rhagfyr. Bydd gwyriadau ar waith hefyd rhwng cyffyrdd 24 a 28 ar ochr ddwyreiniol twnelau Bryn\-glas ym mis Medi.


Mae'r ddau brosiect yn cynnwys gwaith cynnal a chadw hanfodol i sicrhau cydnerthedd hirdymor y rhwydwaith ffyrdd ac i osgoi unrhyw waith atgyweirio brys sydd heb ei gynllunio. Bydd y gwaith yn cynnwys ailosod yr arwynebedd sy’n dal dŵr, gosod arwynebedd newydd a gosod uniadau pont newydd ar gyfer nifer o ddeciau pontydd. Mae’r gwaith yn digwydd yn ystod cyfnod yr haf i leihau'r tebygolrwydd o oedi i'r gwaith yn sgil tywydd garw.


Yn ystod y gwaith rhwng cyffyrdd 47 a 49, bydd y cynllun rheoli traffig yn newid er mwyn cynnwys pob cam o'r cynllun, gyda thraffig yn rhedeg mewn gwrthlif, gan ddefnyddio'r llain galed o ddechrau mis Medi tan ganol mis Tachwedd. Bydd terfynau cyflymder is, gorfodol hefyd ar waith i ddiogelu gyrwyr a'r gweithlu sy'n cyflawni’r cynllun.


Er mwyn mynd i’r afael â’r gwaith rhwng cyffyrdd 24 a 28 mae rhaglen waith dros bedwar penwythnos ac wyth noson wedi'i rhoi ar waith sy'n cynnwys cau cerbytffordd yn llawn, gan osgoi cau'r gerbytffordd tua'r dwyrain a'r gerbytffordd tua’r gorllewin ar yr un pryd. Gallai hyn gael ei leihau i ddau benwythnos ac wyth noson gan ddibynnu ar y tywydd.


Bydd hysbysiad o'r gwaith, gan gynnwys yr amseroedd ar gyfer y trefniadau gwrthlif, yn cael ei gyhoeddi ar wefan Traffig Cymru

The road works between junctions 47 and 49 will take place from August to December. There will also be diversions in place between junctions 24 and 28, in September.


Both projects involve essential maintenance work to ensure the longer term resilience of the road network and to avoid any unplanned emergency repairs. The work will involve the re\-waterproofing, resurfacing and replacement of bridge joints to several bridge decks. Work is taking place during the summer period to minimise the likelihood of delays to the work caused by adverse weather conditions.


During the works between junctions 47 and 49, the traffic management layout will change to accommodate each phase of the scheme with traffic running in contraflow using the hard shoulder from early September until mid\-November. Lower, mandatory speed limits will also be in place to protect drivers and the workforce delivering the scheme.


To accommodate works between junction 24\-28 a four\-weekend and eight\-night work programme has been put in place involving full carriageway closures, avoiding simultaneous closure of the eastbound and westbound carriageway. This could be reduced to two weekends and eight nights depending on weather conditions.


Notification of the works including times for contraflow arrangements will be published on Traffic Wales website.

Mae'r Strategaeth yn adeiladu ar y cynnydd a wnaed hyd yma ar y cyd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a sefydliadau perthnasol, ac yn blaenoriaethu darpariaeth ym meysydd ataliaeth, diogelu a darparu cymorth.

The Strategy builds on collective progress to date between Welsh Government and relevant organisations, and prioritises delivery in the areas of prevention, protection, and provision of support.


It also meets the requirement for a National Strategy within the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act 2015\.


Communities and Children Secretary Carl Sargeant said:



> “This Strategy sets out our renewed commitment to tackling violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence in Wales – six years on from publishing our first Right to be Safe Strategy.
> 
> 
> “Much progress has been made during that time to improve the way we work with those affected by violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence. Multi agency working is commonplace and a strong, professionalised specialist third sector works alongside the public sector to deliver essential services across Wales.

> 
> “There is still more to do however and we will continue to work closely with relevant authorities and other organisations to implement the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Act.

On 6th July 2021 the Counsel General announced the Welsh Government’s plans to legislate for a Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill as part of the legislative programme for year one of this Senedd term.


Today I am publishing the summary report of the responses to the consultation on the draft Bill, which was developed in social partnership and published in February 2021\. The draft Bill included provisions to put social partnership in Wales on a formal footing by creating a social partnership council, strengthening socially responsible procurement, placing a social partnership duty on certain public bodies and a fair work duty on Welsh Ministers.


Consultation on the draft Bill closed on 23 April. There were 85 consultation responses which are currently being considered as we move towards finalising a Bill for introduction in this Senedd term.  I would like to thank all those who contributed to the consultation for their views and for helping us to shape the next stage of our proposals to take forward social partnership and fair work in Wales.


There was overall agreement that the proposed legislation would strengthen current social partnership arrangements in Wales and this confirms the importance of the Welsh Government’s prioritisation of the Bill.


The summary report is available here.
