Thank you, Minister. I'd just like to start by saying that the latest announcement of money for local government, of course, is very welcome. Credit where credit is due - I think the fact that it's going to be given out on a claims basis is a great idea. I just wanted to know if the Minister can just give us confidence today that claims will be fairly assessed, given that some smaller councils, like Monmouthshire, have been disproportionately hit because of the unfair funding formula, which has, over the years, reduced their reserves to low levels, while other, better-funded councils have built up massive reserves of over £100 million, for example.

Diolch, Weinidog. Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddweud bod y cyhoeddiad diweddaraf am arian i lywodraeth leol i'w groesawu'n fawr wrth gwrs. Dylid rhoi clod lle mae'n ddyledus - credaf fod y ffaith y bydd yn cael ei roi allan ar sail hawliadau yn syniad gwych. Roeddwn am wybod a all y Gweinidog roi hyder inni heddiw y caiff hawliadau eu hasesu'n deg, o gofio bod rhai cynghorau llai, fel Sir Fynwy, wedi cael eu taro'n anghymesur oherwydd y fformiwla ariannu annheg, sydd, dros y blynyddoedd, wedi lleihau eu cronfeydd wrth gefn i lefelau isel, tra bod cynghorau eraill sy'n cael eu hariannu'n well wedi cronni cronfeydd wrth gefn enfawr o dros £100 miliwn, er enghraifft.
Item 10 is next, and that's the Plaid Cymru debate on rejoining the single market. And I call on Luke Fletcher to move the motion.

Eitem 10 yw'r eitem nesaf: dadl Plaid Cymru eto ar ailymuno â'r farchnad sengl. A dwi'n galw ar Luke Fletcher i wneud y cynnig yma.
I answered the Member and made it very clear that I'm unable to make a comment at the current time because of the ongoing legal process. What I can reiterate is what I've previously said in this Chamber during a debate last term, and that was that the recent National Assembly Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee report showed that Natural Resources Wales made their determination based on expert advice. It also confirmed that all tests and assessments concluded that the material is within safe limits, poses no radiological risks to human health or the environment, and is safe and suitable to be disposed of at sea.

Atebais yr Aelod a'i gwneud yn glir iawn na allaf wneud sylw ar hyn o bryd oherwydd y broses gyfreithiol sy'n mynd rhagddi. Yr hyn y gallaf ei adrodd yw'r hyn rwyf wedi'i ddweud o'r blaen yn y Siambr hon yn ystod dadl y tymor diwethaf, sef bod adroddiad diweddar Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn dangos bod Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi gwneud eu penderfyniad yn seiliedig ar gyngor arbenigol. Cadarnhaodd hefyd fod yr holl brofion ac asesiadau wedi dod i'r casgliad fod y deunydd o fewn terfynau diogel, nad yw'n peri unrhyw risg radiolegol i iechyd dynol na'r amgylchedd, a'i fod yn ddiogel ac yn addas i'w waredu yn y môr.
Mae'r rhaglen Cymunedau Mwy Diogel yn mabwysiadu'r argymhellion sy'n deillio o adroddiad ar ddiogelwch cymunedau yng Nghymru gan Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru. Mae'n gwneud hyn drwy ddefnyddio dull aml-asiantaeth gyda phartneriaid allweddol.

Our Safer Communities programme is taking forward recommendations arising from the 'Community safety in Wales' report produced by the Wales Audit Office. It does so via a multi-agency approach with key partners.
I understand that the proposals in Swansea are out to consultation. I too have a large postbag on the subject, and I'm sure you do as well, and my colleague Rebecca Evans is the constituency Assembly Member for that area, and I know she has similar concerns. We will be talking to the council about the way that it's taking some of those things forward, but it's at the beginning of a very long process of planning, economic development and so on, so I think it's rather early to say that they're not taking that into account. My understanding is that these are preliminary proposals. Again, if the Member has any more detail than I am aware of, I'd be grateful to have it.

Deallaf fod y cynigion yn Abertawe yn destun ymgynghoriad. Mae gennyf innau fag post mawr ar y pwnc, ac rwy'n siŵr fod gennych chithau hefyd, a fy nghyd-Aelod Rebecca Evans yw'r Aelod Cynulliad etholaeth ar gyfer yr ardal honno, a gwn fod ganddi bryderon tebyg. Byddwn yn siarad â'r cyngor am y ffordd y mae'n bwrw ymlaen â rhai o'r pethau hynny, ond maent ar ddechrau proses hir iawn o gynllunio, datblygu economaidd ac yn y blaen, felly credaf ei bod yn gynnar iawn i ddweud nad ydynt yn ystyried hynny. Fy nealltwriaeth i yw mai cynigion rhagarweiniol yw'r rhain. Unwaith eto, os oes gan yr Aelod fwy o fanylion nag y gwn i amdanynt, buaswn yn ddiolchgar i'w cael.
This is an issue that I am working on principally with the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government, who is responsible for local taxes. It's important that we continue to support indigenous businesses in every way that we possibly can, including through tax cuts. My party had a pledge to ensure that there are tax cuts for small businesses in Wales; we intend to carry through that pledge.

Mae hwn yn fater rwy'n gweithio arno yn bennaf gydag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol, sy'n gyfrifol am drethi lleol. Mae'n bwysig ein bod yn parhau i gefnogi busnesau cynhenid ym mhob ffordd bosibl, gan gynnwys drwy doriadau treth. Roedd gan fy mhlaid addewid i sicrhau toriadau treth i fusnesau bach yng Nghymru; rydym yn bwriadu gwireddu'r addewid hwnnw.
Thank you very much, and I call on Hefin David to reply to the debate.

Diolch yn fawr iawn, a galwaf ar Hefin David i ymateb i'r ddadl.

Allow Helen Mary to respond.

Gadewch i Helen Mary ymateb.

Well, I echo the sentiments in the Member's question. As I mentioned a few moments ago, I think it would be outrageous for that to be what happens. The Prime Minister has made commitments, which she is not living up to. Boris Johnson, in making that statement, raises alarm bells, as her question implies. We are absolutely clear that we should not suffer a penny less of the funding that we have received here in Wales, and that the powers over those funds should be exercised here in this Assembly by the Welsh Government on behalf of the people of Wales, because we are best placed here to manage our economic development in Wales.

Wel, rwy'n ategu'r teimladau yng nghwestiwn yr Aelod. Fel y soniais ychydig funudau yn ôl, credaf y byddai'n warthus pe bai hynny'n digwydd. Mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi gwneud ymrwymiadau, ac nid yw'n eu cyflawni. Mae Boris Johnson, drwy wneud y datganiad hwnnw, yn canu larymau, fel y mae ei chwestiwn yn awgrymu. Rydym yn gwbl glir na ddylem ddioddef cael ceiniog yn llai o'r cyllid y buom yn ei gael yma yng Nghymru, ac y dylai'r pwerau dros yr arian hwnnw gael eu harfer yma yn y Cynulliad hwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar ran pobl Cymru, gan mai ni sydd yn y sefyllfa orau i reoli ein datblygiad economaidd yng Nghymru.

As I said to Janet Finch-Saunders earlier, why can't we charge the online sellers in their big warehouses as if they were on the high street?

Fel y dywedais wrth Janet Finch-Saunders yn gynharach, pam na allwn godi tâl ar y gwerthwyr ar-lein yn eu warysau mawr fel pe baent ar y stryd fawr?
Bydd y rhan fwyaf o gontractau Glastir Uwch, Glastir Organig a Thir Comin Glastir yn dod i ben ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn, ac mae llawer o gontractau eisoes wedi'u hadnewyddu a'u hymestyn sawl gwaith wrth inni fynd yn ein blaenau. Ers 2017, pan ddaeth cyfnod contract pum mlynedd Glastir Uwch i ben, y bwriad oedd ymestyn contractau wrth iddynt ddod i ben, ond wrth gwrs, fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol fod cyllid rhaglen datblygu gwledig yr UE a'r ansicrwydd sy'n ein hwynebu ynghylch argaeledd cyllidebol yn y dyfodol yn golygu nad yw hynny'n opsiwn mwyach. Gwn y bydd mwy o ffocws ar ddyfodol y contractau hyn, ond fel y dywedaf, hyd nes y caf rywfaint o sicrwydd ynglŷn â chyllid, ni allaf wneud cyhoeddiad.

The majority of Glastir Advanced, Organic and Commons contracts do expire at the end of this year, and many contracts are already the subject of multiple extensions and renewals as we've gone forward. Since 2017, when the five-year contract period of Glastir Advanced came to an end, the position was to extend contracts as they expired, but, of course, you'll be aware that the EU rural development programme funding and the uncertainty that we have regarding future budget availability means that that really now is no longer an option. I know there is going to be an increased focus on the future of these contracts, but as I say, until I have some surety about funding, I'm unable to make an announcement.
No, no - . No, no, I'm sorry. You have gone well over. You'll have to try again next week. Trefnydd.

Na, na - . Na, na, mae'n ddrwg gennyf. Mae eich amser chi wedi hen ddarfod. Bydd yn rhaid i chi roi cynnig arall arni yr wythnos nesaf. Trefnydd.
Diolch eto, Cadeirydd. Dŷn ni wedi bod yn trafod beth fydd y goblygiadau ar gyfer pobl neu ar gyfer adeiladau lle does dim cysylltiad ar gael. Beth ydych chi'n meddwl sydd angen cael ei wneud mewn sefyllfaoedd lle mae yna bosibilrwydd am gysylltiad band eang ar gael, ond dyw e ddim yn cael ei gymryd lan. Beth sydd angen cael ei wneud gan Lywodraeth Cymru, gan Ofcom, gan unrhyw stakeholders eraill? Dwi byth yn gwybod beth ydy ' stakeholders ' yn Gymraeg.

Thank you once again, Chair. We've been discussing the implications for people or buildings where connectivity isn't available. What do you think needs to be done in scenarios where there is a possible connection available but it's not taken up? What needs to be done by the Welsh Government, Ofcom or any other stakeholders? I can never remember the Welsh term for 'stakeholders'.

Ie, dyna'r broblem. So, i mi, rydych chi'n dweud, ie, mae angen newid, ond, os nad yw'r Llywodraeth eisiau newid i'r perwyl hwnnw, onid oes problem y bydd yna lastwreiddio o'r hyn sydd yn bodoli ar hyn o bryd?

Yes, and that's the problem. So, you're saying that, yes, change is needed, but, if the Government doesn't want a change in that particular direction, isn't there a problem that there will be a dilution of what we have at present?
Thank you. Our collaboration with the Animal Welfare Network for Wales led to the publication of a voluntary code of best practice for animal welfare establishments in 2020. Building on this, our animal welfare plan commits to bringing forward regulatory requirements for animal welfare establishments, including rescue and rehoming centres, by 2023.

Diolch. Arweiniodd ein cydweithrediad â Rhwydwaith Lles Anifeiliaid Cymru at gyhoeddi cod ymarfer gorau gwirfoddol ar gyfer sefydliadau lles anifeiliaid yn 2020. Gan adeiladu ar hyn, mae ein cynllun lles anifeiliaid yn ymrwymo i gyflwyno gofynion rheoleiddio ar gyfer sefydliadau lles anifeiliaid, gan gynnwys canolfannau achub ac ailgartrefu, erbyn 2023.

One hundred and fifty-three farms are still to complete.

Mae 153 o ffermydd yn dal heb gwblhau.

You can intervene on the Minister.

Gallwch wneud ymyriad.

Counsel General, I see questions like this, and I hear the answers, and I understand completely why this place is called 'a bubble'. We are still in the middle of a pandemic, people have lost their lives and livelihoods, they've lost hope, and we appear in this Senedd to be navel gazing. That being said, I'd be grateful to know what is the Welsh Government prevented from doing by this Act that it could do unfettered previously? And what difference does it actually make to our constituents? Thank you.

Gwnsler Cyffredinol, rwy'n gweld cwestiynau fel hyn, ac rwy'n clywed yr atebion, a deallaf yn iawn pam y gelwir y lle hwn yn 'swigen'. Rydym yn dal i fod ynghanol pandemig, mae pobl wedi colli eu bywydau a'u bywoliaeth, maent wedi colli gobaith, ac mae'n ymddangos ein bod yn bogailsyllu yn y Senedd hon. Wedi dweud hynny, hoffwn wybod beth y mae'r Ddeddf hon yn rhwystro Llywodraeth Cymru rhag ei wneud y gallai ei wneud yn ddilyffethair o'r blaen? A pha wahaniaeth y mae'n ei wneud mewn gwirionedd i'n hetholwyr? Diolch.

Can the Members on the Conservative benches please keep themselves quiet, because I'd like to hear Mark's response to the debate?

A all yr Aelodau ar feinciau'r Ceidwadwyr dawelu, os gwelwch yn dda, gan yr hoffwn glywed ymateb Mark i'r ddadl?
Diolch. A gaf fi alw ar Dawn Bowden i ymateb i'r ddadl?

Thank you. Can I call on Dawn Bowden to reply to the debate?
Jest cwestiwn olaf ynglŷn â chanolfannau i fenywod. Mae Helen Walbey wedi dweud, yn America, bod ganddyn nhw ganolfannau yn benodol i fenywod sydd yn rhedeg cynlluniau mentora ac sydd yn rhoi sgiliau gwahanol i fenywod. A ydy hynny'n rhywbeth rydych chi wedi considro?

Then just a final question about women's centres. Helen Walbey has said that, in the USA, they have specific centres for women that run mentoring schemes and provide different skills for women. Is that something that you've considered?
Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rwy'n falch iawn fod gennyf gannoedd o etholwyr ar gyflogau da mewn swyddi medrus ac undebol ym maes gweithgynhyrchu yn y sector modurol yn Nhorfaen. Rwy'n siŵr y byddwch chi, fel finnau, wedi gweld nifer o rybuddion gan arbenigwyr fod Brexit, yn enwedig Brexit lle rydym yn gadael yr undeb tollau a'r farchnad sengl, yn fygythiad difrifol iawn i weithgynhyrchu modurol yn arbennig. A gaf fi ofyn ichi - fe sonioch chi am asesiadau - roi rhywfaint o fanylion ynglŷn â'r asesiadau a wnaed gennych o risg debygol i'r sector modurol, a pha gamau brys y mae eich Llywodraeth yn eu cymryd i geisio lliniaru'r risgiau hynny, o gofio'r hyn a wyddom ynglŷn â pha mor gystadleuol yw'r maes gweithgynhyrchu modurol, a pha mor ddibynnol yw'r maes ar egwyddorion gweithgynhyrchu mewn union bryd? Diolch.

Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I'm very proud that I've got hundreds of constituents employed in highly skilled, well-paid and unionised jobs in manufacturing in the automotive sector in Torfaen. I'm sure that, like me, you'll have seen numerous warnings from experts that Brexit, especially Brexit where we leave the customs union and single market, poses a very severe threat to automotive manufacturing in particular. Can I ask you - you mentioned assessments - to provide some detail on the assessments that you've made of a likely risk to the automotive sector, and what steps your Government is taking urgently to try and mitigate those risks, given what we know about just how competitive automotive manufacturing is and how dependent it is on just-in-time manufacturing principles? Thank you.
Cwestiynau nawr i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Ynni, Cynllunio a Materion Gwledig, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Neil McEvoy.

Questions now to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs, and the first question is from Neil McEvoy.
Yn ystod y pandemig, rydym wedi buddsoddi £9.9 miliwn ychwanegol i gefnogi gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl. Gan adeiladu ar hyn, rydym yn buddsoddi £42 miliwn ychwanegol mewn iechyd meddwl y flwyddyn nesaf. Mae hyn yn golygu bod cyfanswm ein gwariant ar iechyd meddwl yn 2021-22 yn fwy na £780 miliwn.

During the pandemic, we've invested an extra £9.9 million to support mental health services. Building on this, we're investing an additional £42 million in mental health next year. This makes our total spending on mental health more than £780 million in 2021-22.
Gallwn adael fy ngwraig.

I could leave my wife.

Nid yw fel chi i wrthod cyfle fel hwn.

It's unlike you to turn down an opportunity like this.

Diolch. Nawr, yn 2017, cynhaliodd Mark Drakeford AC ymgynghoriad ar ddiwygio etholiadol mewn llywodraeth leol, ac roedd adran 6 yn gofyn a ddylai unrhyw aelod o staff cyngor o dan y lefel uwch allu sefyll i gael eu hethol i'w hawdurdod eu hunain, ac roedd 61 y cant o'r ymatebwyr yn cytuno y dylent. Felly, o gofio bod y cyn-Weinidog llywodraeth leol, Mark Drakeford, wedi cychwyn pethau yn hyn o beth, ac o fy sgyrsiau gydag ef, roedd yn eithaf cefnogol i hyn mewn gwirionedd, pa drafodaethau a gynhaliwyd yn ddiweddar ynglŷn â chyflwyno rhyw fath o ddeddfwriaeth gadarnhaol fel nad yw pobl o bob cefndir, gan gynnwys awdurdodau lleol a'r rolau amrywiol sydd ganddynt, yn cael eu hatal rhag sefyll i gael eu hethol i awdurdodau lleol?

Thank you. Now, in 2017, Mark Drakeford AM consulted on electoral reform in local government, and section 6 asked if any council staff below senior level should be able to stand for election to their own authority, and 61 per cent of respondents agreed that they should. So, given that the previous local government Minister Mark Drakeford actually set the ball rolling on this and, from my conversations with him, he was actually quite in favour, what discussions have been held recently on bringing forward some kind of positive legislation so that people from all walks of life, including local authorities and the various roles they hold, are not prevented from standing for local authorities?

Diolch, Peter Fox. Rydych wedi crybwyll un wlad - a gaf i daflu rhai eraill yn ôl atoch chi? Denmarc, Estonia, Lithwania, Rwsia, Singapore a Taiwan, rhai rhanbarthau o Awstralia, Mecsico, taleithiau unigol Unol Daleithiau America. Mae treth ar werth tir yn dileu'r cymhelliad ariannol i ddal gafael ar dir na chaiff ei ddefnyddio er mwyn iddo godi mewn gwerth yn unig. Nid yw pris gwerthu nwyddau pan fyddan nhw'n sefydlog o ran cyflenwad, fel tir, yn newid os caiff ei drethu. Nid yw'n costio unrhyw beth i storio tir, nid yw'n mynd i unrhyw le, a bydd bron yn sicr yn cynyddu mewn gwerth gydag amser. Rwyf yn llwyr gefnogi cyflwyno treth ar werth tir yng Nghymru. Mae'n ffordd dda o godi arian er budd pobl Cymru.

Thank you, Peter Fox. You've raised one country - can I just throw some others back at you? Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, Singapore and Taiwan, some regions of Australia, Mexico, individual states of the United States of America. Land value tax removes the financial incentive to hold unused land solely for price appreciation. The selling price of a good when it's fixed in supply, such as land, does not change if it is taxed. It costs nothing to store land, it isn't going anywhere, and it will almost certainly be increasing in value with time. I fully support the introduction of a land value tax in Wales. It's a good way of raising money for the benefit of the people of Wales.
Thank you to the Chair, to all committee members and the interim assessor - I can't remember what the Welsh term for that is, I'm sorry.

Diolch i'r Cadeirydd a diolch i bawb yn y pwyllgor ac i'r interim assessor - rwyf i'n methu cofio beth ydy hwnna'n Gymraeg, mae'n flin gen i.

Thank you. In conjunction with the Healthy Working Wales programme, a new in-work support service will commence in April 2023. This will provide occupational and therapeutical support for employees to remain in or return to employment who are absent from work or at risk of becoming absent due to their physical or mental ill health.

Diolch. Ar y cyd â rhaglen Cymru Iach ar Waith, bydd gwasanaeth cymorth mewn gwaith newydd yn dechrau ym mis Ebrill 2023. Bydd hwn yn darparu cymorth galwedigaethol a therapiwtig i weithwyr aros mewn cyflogaeth neu ddychwelyd i gyflogaeth sy'n absennol o'r gwaith neu mewn perygl o fod yn absennol oherwydd eu salwch corfforol neu feddyliol.

Thank you for raising that, and I'll certainly give further thought to what action might be able to be taken in terms of increasing transparency, but within the confines, obviously, of the commercial sensitivities for those businesses involved and also within the context of the auditor general's report.

Diolch am godi hynny, ac yn sicr, byddaf yn rhoi ystyriaeth bellach i ba gamau y gellid eu cymryd o ran cynyddu tryloywder, ond o fewn cyfyngiadau sensitifrwydd masnachol, yn amlwg, i'r busnesau dan sylw yn ogystal ag o fewn cyd-destun adroddiad yr archwilydd cyffredinol.

We don't have any circuses licensed in Wales. I have had at least two meetings with Lord Gardiner, the Minister with responsibility in the UK Government. We decided that we would work very closely with them around the possibility of having a joint ban. I last met with Lord Gardiner out in Brussels at an agricultural council, and I am due to have an update, I think, next month.

Nid oes gennym syrcasau wedi'u trwyddedu yng Nghymru. Rwyf wedi cael o leiaf ddau gyfarfod gyda'r Arglwydd Gardiner, y Gweinidog sydd â chyfrifoldeb dros hyn yn Llywodraeth y DU. Penderfynasom y byddem yn gweithio'n agos iawn gyda hwy ar y posibilrwydd o gael gwaharddiad ar y cyd. Cyfarfûm â'r Arglwydd Gardiner ddiwethaf allan ym Mrwsel mewn cyngor amaeth, a chredaf fy mod i gael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf fis nesaf.
How developed are those negotiations with the UK Government on the financial support that the Welsh Government would inevitably need were we to leave without a deal? Given the other evidence we've seen in terms of the willingness of the UK Government to provide what Wales needs, what real hope is there that additional support will be provided?

Pa mor ddatblygedig ydy'r trafodaethau yna efo Llywodraeth Prydain ynglŷn â'r cymorth ariannol fyddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn anochel ei angen pe baem ni'n gadael heb gytundeb? O ystyried tystiolaeth amgen ynglŷn â pharodrwydd Llywodraeth Prydain i roi yr hyn sydd ei angen i Gymru, pa obaith gwirioneddol sydd yna y daw yna gymorth ychwanegol?

Well, you'll see that there is a reference to trade unions on page 19, and I think -

Wel, fe welwch chi fod yna gyfeiriad at undebau llafur ar dudalen 19, ac rwyf i o'r farn -

My appeal is simple: don't do anything in your budget that threatens expenditure on tackling homelessness. You have to maintain and increase housing support grants and Supporting People, because, behind the statistics on homelessness, there are real people. With a heavy heart, I will mention one of them. The coroner this week confirmed that Paul Daniel Hughes was the gentleman found dead in a disused building in Llangefni last month.

Mae fy apêl i'n syml iawn: peidiwch â gwneud unrhyw beth yn eich cyllideb sy'n bygwth gwariant ar daclo digartrefedd. Mae'n rhaid ichi gynnal a chynyddu grantiau tai a Chefnogi Pobl ac ati oherwydd, y tu ôl i'r ystadegau digartrefedd, mae yna bobl go iawn. Efo calon drom, mi soniaf i am un ohonyn nhw. Mi wnaeth y crwner yr wythnos yma gadarnhau mai Paul Daniel Hughes oedd y dyn gafodd ei ganfod yn farw mewn hen adeilad gwag yn Llangefni fis diwethaf.
