First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones said:



> “Our thoughts today are with all of those who were affected by yesterday’s terrorist attacks on Barcelona and Cambrils. It is truly horrifying to think that people who were simply going about their daily lives, relaxing and enjoying themselves could be targeted in such an evil way.
> 
> 
> “Barcelona is a proud and beautiful city which welcomes international visitors with open arms, including many from Wales, and of course we also enjoy an air link with the city through Cardiff Airport. I would urge anyone visiting the area at the moment to keep following the advice of the local authorities and to check the Foreign Office twitter feed and website for further updates.
> 
> 
> “Wales and Catalunya of course also share many historical and cultural ties and I want to end by expressing my deepest sympathies on behalf of the people of Wales. We stand by your side at this difficult time.”

Rwy’n annog unrhyw un sy’n ymweld â’r ardal ar hyn o bryd i ddilyn cyngor yr awdurdodau lleol a chadw llygad ar gyfrif trydar a gwefan y swyddfa dramor i gael rhagor o wybodaeth.

Strong collaborative leadership is critical in ensuring delivery going forward.  I welcome the agreement of Local Government to this agenda reached at the Partnership Council for Wales.  Welsh Government and Local Government are committed to working in partnership to secure significant service improvements and efficiencies, working together to tackle the challenges we face and to support communities and people across Wales.

Mae’n siŵr bydd aelodau yn ymwybodol o adroddiadau yn y cyfryngau yn ymwneud â digwyddiad cymdeithasol a fynychwyd gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd a'r Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg mewn rôl bersonol ym mis Mai eleni.


Gan fod adroddiadau fod prif weithredwr Gŵyl y Dyn Gwyrdd yn bresennol yn y digwyddiad, a'r ffaith bod Gilestone Farm wedi cael ei brynu yn ddiweddar, gofynnais i Ysgrifennydd Parhaol Llywodraeth Cymru lunio adroddiad i mi am yr amgylchiadau.


Er mwyn osgoi unrhyw amheuaeth, daeth i'r casgliad nad oedd y Cod Gweinidogol wedi ei dorri gan y digwydd ac nad oedd yr un o'r ddau Weinidog wedi gwneud unrhyw benderfyniadau mewn perthynas â phrynu Fferm Gilestone.


Er na ddisgwylir i'r naill Weinidog na'r llall wneud unrhyw benderfyniadau mewn perthynas â Fferm Gilestone, o ystyried y risg tybiedig, ni fydd y ddau Weinidog yn gwneud unrhyw penderfyniadau ar hyn yn y dyfodol.


Mae'r cyngor yn argymell bod Gweinidogion yn cael canllawiau ar gyfer cysylltiadau gyda lobïwyr sy'n digwydd yn rhinwedd eu swydd anweinidogol. Byddaf yn ysgrifennu at Weinidogion i ddarparu'r canllawiau hyn.


Rwy'n atodi'r cyngor rwyf wedi ei dderbyn i'r Datganiad Ysgrifenedig hwn.


Mae'r datganiad hwn yn cael ei gyhoeddi yn ystod toriad er mwyn rhoi gwybod i'r aelodau. Os bydd aelodau am i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.

Members may be aware of media reporting relating to a social event attended by the Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for Education and Welsh Language in a personal capacity in May of this year.


Given the reported attendance of the chief executive of the Green Man Festival at the event, and the recent purchase of Gilestone Farm, I asked the Welsh Government’s Permanent Secretary to provide me with a report on the circumstances.


For the avoidance of any doubt, the advice concludes that no breach of the Ministerial Code had taken place and that neither Minister had exercised any decision making in relation to the purchase of Gilestone Farm.


Whilst neither Minister is anticipated to be a decision maker in relation to Gilestone Farm, in view of the risk of perceived conflict, both Ministers have recused themselves from any future decisions.


The advice recommends that Ministers are provided with guidance for contacts with lobbyists that occurs in their non\-Ministerial capacity. I will write to Ministers to provide this guidance.


I am attaching the minute of advice I have received to this Written Statement.


This statement is being issued during recess to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.

The summit is the first meeting of UK First Ministers, Chief Ministers and the Irish Taoiseach after the Prime Minister announced he would resign.


Speaking ahead of the summit, First Minister Mark Drakeford said:

The Census provides the most accurate snapshot of the society we live in and helps inform decisions on how we plan and fund public services both now and in the future.


As well as deciding where money is being spent, such as roads, schools or hospitals, the Census also provides essential information to charities and voluntary organisations to help them identify where support is needed most.


Census 2021 is the first digital\-first census and should be completed in English or Welsh on, or as soon as possible after Census Day on Sunday 21 March.


Finance Minister Rebecca Evans said:

This Statement provides an update on the M4 at Port Talbot and specifically the trial part\-time closure of the westbound on\-slip at junction 41\.


 


As part of our ongoing review, I met with David Rees AM, Stephen Kinnock MP and a member of the public from Port Talbot recently, to seek their views on the impact of the potential closure of the slip roads and to better understand the concerns raised by the local residents and businesses.


Having considered the issue fully, including the implications of the uncertainties surrounding TATA Steel and the impact of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, I have decided not to proceed with further consideration of slip road closures at Port Talbot at this time.


However, I recognise that improvement of strategic traffic flow is of great importance to economic prosperity in South Wales. Therefore, I have asked my officials to engage with Swansea Bay City Region to seek their involvement in a wider study of the M4 corridor around Swansea that is currently being developed.


This study will incorporate the valuable data obtained through the trial slip road closure, and will seek to develop options for improvement of the M4 which will accommodate the encouraging growth of the Swansea Bay City Region.

Mae’r Datganiad hwn yn rhoi’r newyddion diweddaraf ar yr M4 ym Mhort Talbot ac yn benodol y treialon i gau y ffordd ymuno i’r gorllewin ar gyffordd 41\.

Fel rhan o’n hadolygiad parhaus, cefais gyfarfod â David Rees AC, Stephen Kinnock AS ac aelod o’r cyhoedd o Bort Talbot yr wythnos ddiwethaf, i gael eu barn ar yr effaith y caiff y posibilrwydd o gau y ffyrdd ymuno er mwyn deall y pryderon sy’n cael eu codi gan y trigolion a’r busnesau lleol yn well.

Wedi ystyried y mater yn llawn, gan gynnwys goblygiadau yr ansicrwydd sy’n gysylltiedig â TATA Steel ac effaith penderfyniad y DU i adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, rwyf wedi penderfynu peidio â mynd ymlaen i ystyried mwy ar gau y ffyrdd ymuno ym Mhort Talbot ar hyn o bryd.

Fodd bynnag, rwy’n cydnabod bod gwella llif y traffig yn bwysig iawn i lwyddiant economaidd De Cymru.  Felly, rwyf wedi gofyn i’m swyddogion gysylltu â Dinas\-ranbarth Bae Abertawe i’w cael yn rhan o astudiaeth ehangach o goridor yr M4 o amgylch Abertawe sy’n cael ei ddatblygu ar hyn o bryd.

Bydd yr astudiaeth hon yn cynnwys y data gwerthfawr a gafwyd yn ystod y treialon i gau’r ffordd ymuno, ac yn ceisio datblygu’r opsiynau i  wella’r M4 fydd yn cynnwys twf calonogol Dinas\-ranbarth Bae Abertawe.

Between 11 October 2023 and 31 December 2023, we held a consultation on the skills needed to support the transition to net zero for each emission sector in Wales.

The consultation was a key commitment in our Net Zero Skills Action Plan, to capture the more granular detail required on eight high level emission sectors:

* Electricity and Heat Generation
* Residential Buildings
* Transport
* Public Sector
* Industry and Business
* Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF)
* Agriculture
* Waste Management (including Circular Economy)

Today I’d like to draw Members’ attention to the publication of a document summarising the responses to the consultation.  

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the 107 individuals and organisations who responded to the consultation and who gave their time to do so, as well as those who have supported the ongoing work in this area.

The breadth of feedback received from the consultation responses has provided a rich source of evidence that both reinforces our current intelligence around net zero skills and provides a wide range of workable solutions and longer\-term goals that will support the policy shift required to enable skills to be the key enabler for achieving net zero. 

I plan to make a further statement on next steps including the progress in developing Sector Skills Roadmaps in due course.

Roedd yr ymgynghoriad yn ymrwymiad allweddol yn ein Cynllun Gweithredu Sgiliau Sero Net, i gasglu'r wybodaeth fanylach sydd ei hangen am wyth sector sydd â lefelau uchel o allyriadau: 

* Cynhyrchu Trydan a Gwres
* Adeiladau Preswyl
* Cludiant
* Y Sector Cyhoeddus
* Diwydiant a Busnes
* Defnyddio Tir, Newid Defnydd Tir a Choedwigaeth
* Amaethyddiaeth
* Rheoli Gwastraff a’r Economi Gylchol

Heddiw, hoffwn dynnu sylw'r Aelodau at gyhoeddi dogfen sy'n crynhoi'r ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad.  

Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i'r 107 o unigolion a sefydliadau a ymatebodd i'r ymgynghoriad ac a roddodd eu hamser i wneud hynny, yn ogystal â'r rhai sydd wedi cefnogi'r gwaith parhaus yn y maes hwn.

Mae ehangder yr adborth a gafwyd o'r ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad wedi darparu ffynhonnell gyfoethog o dystiolaeth sy'n atgyfnerthu ein dealltwriaeth gyfredol o sgiliau sero net, ac yn darparu amrediad eang o atebion ymarferol a nodau tymor hwy a fydd yn cefnogi'r newid polisi sydd ei angen i alluogi sgiliau i fod yn ysgogydd allweddol wrth gyflawni sero\-net.
