Llywydd, the shared prosperity fund was announced in 2017, but meaningful discussions with the UK Government opened only at the start of this month. It remains the Welsh Government's position that we cannot endorse an approach that removes both funding and decision making from Wales.

Llywydd, cyhoeddwyd y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin yn 2017, ond dim ond ddechrau'r mis hwn y dechreuodd trafodaethau ystyrlon gyda Llywodraeth y DU. Safbwynt Llywodraeth Cymru o hyd yw na allwn ni gymeradwyo dull sy'n cymryd cyllid a phenderfyniadau oddi wrth Cymru.
A ydych chi'n credu bod yna fwlch yn y gyfraith y mae angen ei gau? Rwy'n ceisio casglu o'ch araith a ydych chi'n credu bod neu beidio.

Do you think that there is a loophole that needs to be closed? I'm trying to gauge from your speech whether you think there is or not.
Gwnaf, wrth gwrs y gwnaf.

Yes, of course I will.

Diolch yn fawr i'r Gweinidog, a'r cwestiwn olaf amserol, felly, gan David Melding.

I thank the Minister, and the final topical question, therefore, is from David Melding.

Er bod y gronfa'n gweithredu mewn maes sy'n amlwg wedi'i ddatganoli, gwrthodwyd unrhyw swyddogaeth i Lywodraeth Cymru yn ei datblygiad na'i gweithrediad yng Nghymru. Mae'r gronfa ffyniant bro, fel y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin, wedi dioddef oedi, tanariannu a threfniadau anhrefnus sy'n costio swyddi a thwf i Gymru.

Despite the fund operating in a plainly devolved area, the Welsh Government has been denied any role in its development or implementation in Wales. The levelling-up fund, like the shared prosperity fund, has been beset by delays, underfunding and chaotic arrangements that are costing Wales jobs and growth.

So, dim ond paratoi'r safonau y mae'r ddau yna yn ei wneud, felly.

So, those two are only involved in preparing the standards.
The Commission has no plans to establish chaplaincy services. However, we do provide quiet rooms in Tŷ Hywel and the Senedd for prayer, contemplation, or just quiet time on a multifaith basis -

Nid oes unrhyw gynlluniau gan y Comisiwn i sefydlu gwasanaethau caplaniaeth. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn darparu ystafelloedd tawel yn Nhŷ Hywel a'r Senedd ar gyfer gweddïo, myfyrio, neu amser tawel ar sail aml-ffydd -

We work with them. And it's important for us to be sure that we don't duplicate the work that takes place across the border. So, yes, it was important to have their support. They have expertise in many different things, it's very good to have their support on our project groups, as with every other member of those groups, but, yes, we're happy to work with them, and we look forward to more collaboration in future.

Rŷn ni'n gweithio efo nhw. Ac mae'n bwysig i ni fod yn siŵr ein bod ni ddim yn dyblygu'r gwaith sy'n digwydd dros y border. Felly, ie, roedd hi'n bwysig i gael eu cymorth nhw. Maen nhw'n arbenigwyr efo lot o bethau gwahanol, maen rili dda i gael eu cymorth nhw ar ein grwpiau prosiect ni, fel pob aelod arall, ond, ydyn, rŷn ni'n hapus i weithio efo nhw, ac yn edrych ymlaen i fwy yn y dyfodol.

Item 4 is topical questions, and this afternoon the topical question by Julie Morgan, to be answered by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport. Julie.

Eitem 4 yw'r cwestiynau amserol, a daw'r cwestiwn amserol y prynhawn yma gan Julie Morgan, i'w ateb gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth. Julie.

Thank you, Counsel General, for your answer. I'm asking this question as someone who is a long-term opponent of non-medical waste incineration. Does the Counsel General agree with me on the importance of the directive and how important it is that we keep it and that it is complied with? Although, I must add that I would much prefer a moratorium on non-medical waste incineration.

Diolch am eich ateb, Gwnsler Cyffredinol. Gofynnaf y cwestiwn hwn fel rhywun sydd wedi gwrthwynebu llosgi gwastraff anfeddygol ers peth amser. A yw'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol yn cytuno â mi ynglŷn â phwysigrwydd y gyfarwyddeb a pha mor bwysig yw ei chadw ac y cydymffurfir â hi? Er hynny, mae'n rhaid i mi ychwanegu y byddai'n well gennyf gael moratoriwm ar losgi gwastraff anfeddygol.
Fel rhan o adolygiad gwariant 2022-25, dyrannwyd £9 miliwn o refeniw ychwanegol ac yn agos at £90 miliwn o gyfalaf i wella mannau gwyrdd. Mae hyn yn cynnwys cyllid ar gyfer parc cenedlaethol newydd. Mater i'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd wrth gwrs yw penderfyniadau gwariant mewn perthynas â pharciau cenedlaethol.

As part of the 2022-25 spending review, an additional £9 million revenue and close to £90 million capital has been allocated to enhance green spaces. This includes funding for a new national park. Spending decisions in relation to national parks are, of course, a matter for the Minister for Climate Change.
Just a small intervention. Thank you for taking it. You keep saying 'women'. I would like to think that - and I'm sure it does - any male employee, member of staff or - . This has to be across the gender divide, because we have to be completely open. I just wanted to put that on record.

Dim ond ymyriad bach. Diolch i chi am ei gymryd. Rydych yn cadw dweud 'menywod'. Buaswn yn hoffi meddwl bod - ac rwy'n siŵr ei fod - unrhyw gyflogeion neu aelod o staff gwrywaidd neu - . Rhaid i hyn fod ar draws y rhaniad rhwng y rhywiau, oherwydd rhaid inni fod yn gwbl agored. Roeddwn am gofnodi hynny.
Yes, I can. Discussions have been ongoing. They have been very positive and constructive. They haven't yet been concluded. There are two outstanding issues of competence that are still under discussion and the issue of those and whether a legislative consent memorandum is required is under consideration at the moment.

Gallaf. Mae trafodaethau wedi bod yn mynd rhagddynt. Maent wedi bod yn gadarnhaol ac yn adeiladol iawn. Nid ydynt wedi'u cwblhau eto. Ceir dau fater yn ymwneud â chymhwysedd sy'n dal i gael eu trafod ac mae'r rheini ac a oes angen memorandwm cydsyniad deddfwriaethol dan ystyriaeth ar hyn o bryd.
Well, if I could start with the journalists, because I think this was a concern for the committee at one point. We currently have 11 journalists funded through the licence fee in Wales. There are 11 bodies in Wales who are licensed to receive that output, including the old Trinity Mirror - I think they're now called Reach. And, to date, those journalists have produced around 2,500 stories, and those are 2,500 stories that wouldn't have had any coverage without those journalists. So, the journalistic contribution made by those journalists is significant.

Ocê. Felly, a gaf i ddechrau gyda'r newyddiadurwyr, achos rydw i'n meddwl roedd hwnna'n bryder i'r pwyllgor ar un pwynt? Hyd yn hyn, mae yna 11 o newyddiadurwyr yn cael eu hariannu gan ffi'r drwydded yng Nghymru, ac mae yna 11 o gyrff yng Nghymru wedi'u trwyddedu i dderbyn yr arlwy hynny, yn cynnwys yr hen Trinity Mirror - Reach yw'r enw bellach, rydw i'n credu. Hyd yn hyn, mae'r newyddiadurwyr yna wedi cynhyrchu rhyw 2,500 o straeon, ac mae hynny'n 2,500 o straeon na fyddai wedi cael darpariaeth neu unrhyw drosolwg heb y newyddiadurwyr hynny. Felly, mae'r cyfraniad newyddiadurol mae'r newyddiadurwyr yna'n ei wneud yn sylweddol.
Of course, we can try to deport these people -

Wrth gwrs, gallwn geisio allgludo'r bobl hyn -
Can I finish this sentence? There would be no questions of changes to a care and support package being a cost-cutting measure. Certainly.

A gaf fi orffen y frawddeg hon? Ni fyddai unrhyw gwestiwn fod y newidiadau i'r pecyn gofal a chymorth yn fesur ar gyfer torri costau. Yn sicr.
Pa faterion penodol mae gofalwyr maeth a'r plant sy'n cael eu maethu yn eu hwynebu yn yr argyfwng yma? Oes gan y gofalwyr maeth ddigon o gymorth, yn cynnwys cymorth ariannol, ac ydy hyn yn gydradd ar draws Cymru, ac ydy o'n gyson ar draws Cymru?

What specific issues are foster carers and the children they care for facing during this crisis? Do foster carers have sufficient support, including financial support, and is this equitable across Wales, and is it consistent across Wales?
The Member makes a very important point, and, as we say all the time, it is impossible to have an austerity agenda without having real effects on people's lives. I've said many times in this Chamber that we're all faced with no good choice at all. We're not cutting things that we think aren't any good; we're cutting things that we know are important to people, because austerity is a political choice with which we do not agree and which has very serious consequences for public services. [ Interruption.] It absolutely is. So, I absolutely hear what you say. You've made a very good point, and the Cabinet Secretary heard what you said as well and I'm sure will respond in due course.

Mae'r Aelod yn gwneud pwynt pwysig iawn, ac, fel y dywedwn bob amser, mae'n amhosibl cael agenda cyni heb gael effaith wirioneddol ar fywydau pobl. Rwyf wedi dweud droeon yn y Siambr hon nad ydym ni'n wynebu unrhyw ddewis da o gwbl. Nid ydym yn torri pethau ein bod yn credu nad ydyn nhw'n dda o gwbl; rydym ni'n torri pethau yr ydym ni'n gwybod eu bod yn bwysig i bobl, oherwydd mai dewis gwleidyddol yw cyni ac nid ydym yn cytuno ag ef ac mae canlyniadau difrifol iawn i'r gwasanaethau cyhoeddus. [ Torri ar draws.] Yn hollol. Felly, rwy'n deall yn llwyr yr hyn yr ydych chi'n ei ddweud. Rydych chi wedi gwneud pwynt da iawn, a chlywodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yr hyn y gwnaethoch ei ddweud hefyd ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd yn ymateb maes o law.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

Right. Are you coming to a conclusion?

Iawn. A ydych yn tynnu tua'r terfyn?
Dafydd, wyt ti mewn sefyllfa i aros gyda ni am ryw 10 munud ychwanegol heibio 10:30? Ydy hynna'n iawn gyda chi?

Dafydd, are you in a position to remain with us for an additional 10 minutes past 10:30? Is that OK with you?
Soniodd na fu gwelliant ystadegol arwyddocaol ers 2006. Yna dywedodd fod y sgoriau'n is na chyfartaledd y Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd ar gyfer 2019. A fyddai hi'n derbyn nad ydynt yn ystadegol yn sylweddol is na'r cyfartaledd ym mhob un o'r tri mesur ar gyfer y flwyddyn ddiwethaf?

She mentioned there hasn't been a statistically significant improvement since 2006. She then said that the scores were below the OECD average for 2019. Would she accept that they're not statistically significantly below the average in each of the three measures for the last year?
On the first very important matter, the Cabinet Secretary certainly heard your representations, and if you have specific instances that are leading you to the conclusion that that consultation is too short, then I suggest you write to the Cabinet Secretary and set those out. He's indicating his willingness to consider them. And on the second, I think you can hear the Cabinet Secretary vehemently denying that he said any such thing. So, I don't think there's any need for a statement to follow.

Ar y mater cyntaf pwysig iawn, clywodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet eich sylwadau yn sicr, ac os oes gennych chi enghreifftiau penodol sy'n eich arwain i'r casgliad bod yr ymgynghoriad hwnnw yn rhy fyr, yna rwy'n awgrymu eich bod chi'n ysgrifennu at Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet gan nodi'r enghreifftiau hynny. Mae'n dangos ei barodrwydd i'w hystyried. Ac ar yr ail, rwy'n credu y gallwch chi glywed Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn gwadu'n chwyrn ei fod wedi dweud unrhyw beth o'r fath. Felly, nid wyf yn credu bod unrhyw angen am ddatganiad dilynol.
Thank you for giving way. Is it your view, then, that if Theresa May's deal is a bad deal, Parliament should vote it down?

Diolch i chi am ildio. Ai eich barn chi, felly, os yw bargen Theresa May yn fargen wael, y dylai'r Senedd bleidleisio yn ei herbyn?
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

We had a conversation in the waiting room about this. Not currently, but there is an opportunity, perhaps.

Cawsom ni sgwrs ar hwn yn yr ystafell. Dim ar hyn o bryd, ond eto, mae yna gyfle inni.
I thank the Member for the question. I am encouraged to see further improvements in performance against the four-hour target and a reduction in lengthy waits during May. Despite daily attendances rising by 8 per cent when compared with the previous month, eight out of 10 patients spent fewer than eight hours in emergency departments from arrival until admission, transfer or discharge. I have made clear, as has the NHS Wales chief executive, that further improvements are expected.

Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn. Caf fy nghalonogi wrth weld gwelliannau pellach yn y perfformiad yn erbyn y targed pedair awr a gostyngiad mewn amseroedd aros hir yn ystod mis Mai. Er bod derbyniadau dyddiol wedi codi 8 y cant o'i gymharu â'r mis blaenorol, treuliodd 8 o bob 10 claf lai nag wyth awr mewn adrannau achosion brys rhwng cyrraedd a chael eu derbyn, eu trosglwyddo neu eu rhyddhau. Rwyf wedi dweud yn glir, fel y mae prif weithredwr GIG Cymru, fod disgwyl gwelliannau pellach.

Well, yes, the teachers, pupils, parents - everyone. And I think that that's what's important: to get that message across, because it does develop very useful skills for pupils to use in the future.

Wel, ie, yr athrawon, plant, rhieni - pawb. Ac rwy'n meddwl mai hynny sy'n bwysig: i gael y neges drosodd, achos mae'n meithrin sgiliau defnyddiol iawn i blant i'w defnyddio yn y dyfodol.

So, just for the record again, you're view is changing on this as well - that it's not going to be so much of a barrier as the regulations stand. The barriers was a comment regarding the draft regulations.

Felly, jest ar gyfer y record eto, mae'ch barn chi'n newid ar hyn hefyd - ei fod e ddim yn mynd i fod yn gymaint o rwystr gyda'r rheoliadau fel maen nhw'n sefyll. Roedd y rhwystrau yn sylwad ar y drafft rheoliadau.

Will the Member take an intervention? Sorry, you've got a Member behind you who is asking.

A wnaiff yr Aelod dderbyn ymyriad? Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, mae gennych Aelod y tu ôl i chi sy'n gofyn.

Minister, the latest Estyn report also highlights the fact that inspection outcomes for special schools aren't as positive as previous years, and the results for pupil referral units continue to be poor. In light of this, what specific steps is the Welsh Government taking to improve outcomes in special schools and in pupil referral units specifically?

Weinidog, mae adroddiad diweddaraf Estyn hefyd yn tynnu sylw at y ffaith nad yw'r deilliannau arolygu ar gyfer ysgolion arbennig ddim cystal o gymharu â'r blynyddoedd blaenorol. Mae'r canlyniadau ar gyfer unedau cyfeirio disgyblion yn parhau i fod yn wael. Yn sgil hyn, pa gamau penodol mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i wella canlyniadau mewn ysgolion arbennig, ac mewn unedau cyfeirio disgyblion?
A gaf i atgoffa'r siaradwyr nesaf yn awr ein bod wedi cael y prif siaradwyr yn eich pleidiau, ac felly mai datganiad yw hwn ac nid cyfle am araith? Simon Thomas.

Can I just remind the next speakers now that we've had the main speakers in your parties, and so this is a statement and not an opportunity for a speech? Simon Thomas.
Mae Llafur Cymru a'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol o blaid refferenda pan fyddant yn gweddu i'w dibenion gwleidyddol, sef ar ddatganoli pellach a diwygio pleidleisio. Felly, gadewch i mi ddefnyddio'r cyfle hwn i ofyn i Ysgrifennydd Addysg y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol mewn Llywodraeth Lafur roi cyfle i bobl leol sefydlu ysgolion gramadeg newydd, lle mae digon o alw lleol wedi'i ddangos drwy gyfrwng refferendwm dan reolaeth yr awdurdod lleol. A wnaiff hi ymuno ag UKIP a rhoi mwy o ddewis i bobl leol dros addysg eu plant?

Welsh Labour and the Liberal Democrats are in favour of referenda when it suits their political purposes, namely on further devolution and voting reform. So, let me use this opportunity to ask the Liberal Democrat education Secretary in a Labour Government to give local people an opportunity to start new grammar schools, where there is sufficient local demand demonstrated through the means of a local authority-managed referendum. Will she join with UKIP in giving local people more choice over their children's education?
A beth fydd y gyllideb, wedyn?

And what would the budget be, then?

Tybed a ydych wedi meddwl am gael sgwrs gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynglŷn â chael gwared ar y TAW ar gerbydau trydan, oherwydd nid yw hynny'n rhywbeth y mae gennym bwerau i'w wneud, a byddai'n ei gwneud hi'n bosibl eu hyrwyddo drwy eu gwneud yn rhatach.

I just wondered if you've thought of having any conversation with the UK Government about removing VAT from electric vehicles, because that's not something that we have the powers to do, and that would enable them to be promoted by making them cheaper.

Caewch y bleidlais. O blaid 14, ymatal 0, yn erbyn 40. Felly, nid oes cydsyniad i'r cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol.

Close the vote. For 14, abstain 0, against 40. So, the LCM is not consented.

Ocê. Iawn. Roeddwn i jest yn cael yn neges yn dweud bod yna broblem. Ocê, sori. Caria ymlaen nawr. Os yw e'n dal i fod yn broblem, gwnaiff rhywun gysylltu â fi, rwy'n siŵr.

Okay. I just was having a message saying that it was a problem. Sorry. Please carry on. If there is a further problem, someone will contact me.
Thank you, Minister. We now move to Mark Isherwood to speak on behalf of the Conservatives.

Diolch i chi, Gweinidog. Symudwn yn awr at Mark Isherwood i siarad ar ran y Ceidwadwyr.
Nid oedd unrhyw geisiadau o dan eitem 4.

There were no requests under item 4.

Mae'n ddrwg gennyf dorri ar draws, ond un o'r pethau - mae'n gwneud y pwynt am gerbydau'n segura - un o'r pwyntiau a glywais hefyd gan swyddogion iechyd cyhoeddus yw nad cerbydau'n segura yn unig yw'r broblem; gallai'r weithred o ddiffodd eich cerbyd tra'n aros y tu allan i ysgol fod yr un mor llygrol pan fyddwch yn ei ailgychwyn eto. Felly, mewn llawer o achosion, waeth i chi ei adael i segura fwy na'i ddiffodd a'i ailgychwyn; mae'n dibynnu am ba hyd rydych chi'n ei adael i segura. Felly, mewn gwirionedd, y peth mwy effeithiol i'w wneud, fel y dywedodd Jenny Rathbone, yw peidio â gadael ceir yn agos at yr ysgol yn y lle cyntaf.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but one of the things - he makes the point about idling vehicles - one of the points that I've heard as well, from public health officials, is it isn't just idling vehicles; the actual act of turning off your vehicle while outside a school could be just as polluting when you turn it back on again. So, you might as well leave it idling as turning it off and on in many cases; it depends how long you leave it idling for. So, actually, the more effective thing is, as Jenny Rathbone said, not to have those cars near the school in the first place.
Well, I'm sorry, but -

Wel, mae'n ddrwg gen i, ond -
And on that basis, I'll be voting against these regulations.

Ac ar y sail honno, byddaf yn pleidleisio yn erbyn y rheoliadau hyn.
I'm speaking now. Tell that to the people who - . Flood prevention is so important, and it's an investment in these communities. Roath brook is a separate matter. Today, we are talking about those communities that have been affected by storm Callum and how this Government will stand up and invest in those communities to prevent further floods and to give peace of mind.

Fi sy'n siarad nawr. Dywedwch hynny wrth y bobl - . Mae atal llifogydd mor bwysig, ac mae'n fuddsoddiad yn y cymunedau hyn. Mae nant y Rhath yn fater gwahanol. Heddiw, rydym ni'n sôn am y cymunedau hynny a gafodd eu heffeithio gan storm Callum a sut fydd y Llywodraeth hon yn gweithredu ac yn buddsoddi yn y cymunedau hynny i atal llifogydd pellach ac i roi tawelwch meddwl.
Dywedodd eich Ysgrifennydd Cabinet ar 17 Mai bod diwydrwydd dyladwy yn rhan bwysig o'r ystyriaethau wrth ariannu unrhyw brosiect ac na fyddai'n byrhau'r broses honno. Honnwyd yn ddiweddar y gallai prosiect Cylchffordd Cymru gael ei golli i'r Alban. Os na fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud penderfyniad yn fuan, a wnewch chi gadarnhau na fydd codi bwganod fel hyn yn arwain at wneud penderfyniad tan i'r asesiad mwyaf trylwyr o hyfywedd a budd economaidd y prosiect hwn gael ei gynnal neu ei gwblhau gan eich Llywodraeth?

Your Cabinet Secretary on 17 May stated that due diligence is an important part of consideration in financing any project and that he would not short-cut that process. Recently it was claimed that the Circuit of Wales project could be lost to Scotland. If the Welsh Government does not make a decision soon, will you confirm that scaremongering such as this will not result in decision making until the most rigorous assessment of the viability and economic benefit of this project has been made or completed by your Government?
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

Thank you for that. Of course, we heard from the Secretary of State last week a strong defence of the JMC. He saw that that co-operation was happening within the last few months - one of the points you've made, of course - and therefore wasn't willing to accept any suggestion that there was a need to strengthen or reform the JMC in any way because it works well now. So, I think we'll park it there, because I think you've explained quite thoroughly what you think of that statement. And also, you've mentioned this, as well, about -

Diolch am hynny. Wrth gwrs, ar gefn hynny, gwnaethom ni glywed gan yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol yr wythnos diwethaf amddiffyniad cryf o Gyd-bwyllgor y Gweinidogion. Hynny yw, roedd e'n gweld bod y cydweithio'n digwydd nawr yn y misoedd diwethaf - un o'r pwyntiau rŷch chi wedi'u gwneud, wrth gwrs - ac felly ddim yn fodlon derbyn unrhyw awgrym bod angen cryfhau neu ddiwygio Cyd-bwyllgor y Gweinidogion mewn unrhyw ffordd achos ei fod e'n gweithio'n iawn nawr. Ond fe wnawn ni barcio hwnnw lle mae e achos rwy'n credu eich bod chi wedi esbonio'n ddigon trylwyr beth rŷch chi'n ei feddwl o'r gosodiad yna. A hefyd, rŷch chi wedi crybwyll hyn, hefyd, ynglŷn â -
Lywydd, a gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn pwysig hwn? Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i wneud popeth yn ein gallu i fynd i'r afael â'r anghydraddoldeb annerbyniol yng nghanlyniadau iechyd cymunedau mwyaf a lleiaf difreintiedig Cymru, ac fel y gwelsom yng nghyd-destun COVID, yn y gymuned ddu, Asiaidd a lleiafrifoedd ethnig yn arbennig. Mae lleihau anghydraddoldeb yn uchelgais canolog yn 'Ffyniant i Bawb' ac mae'n ganolog yn Neddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015.

Llywydd, can I thank the Member for that very important question? The Welsh Government continues to do everything we can to address the unacceptable inequalities in health outcomes between Wales's most and least deprived communities, and as we have seen in the COVID context for the black, Asian, minority ethnic community in particular. Reducing inequality is a central ambition of 'Prosperity for All' and lies at the heart of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
We do recognise the important contribution that pubs make to communities. We are working with community groups and other representatives, including the Campaign for Real Ale - I declare an interest as a member - on how best to protect premises and facilities and help bring people together. I've always said that a community without a pub is a collection of houses. Quite often, I've seen this happen in my part of the world. We will be consulting on a review of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order in May, with a view to looking at how we can better protect our pubs.

Rydym ni'n cydnabod y cyfraniad pwysig y mae tafarndai yn ei wneud i gymunedau. Rydym ni'n gweithio gyda grwpiau cymunedol a chynrychiolwyr eraill, gan gynnwys yr Ymgyrch Dros Gwrw Go Iawn - rwy'n datgan buddiant fel aelod - ar y ffordd orau o ddiogelu safleoedd a chyfleusterau ac i helpu i ddod â phobl at ei gilydd. Rwyf i wedi dweud erioed mai casgliad o dai yw cymuned heb dafarn. Yn aml iawn, rwyf i wedi gweld hyn yn digwydd yn fy rhan i o'r byd. Byddwn yn ymgynghori ar adolygiad o'r Gorchymyn Cynllunio Gwlad a Thref (Dosbarthiadau Defnydd) ym mis Mai, gyda'r bwriad o ystyried sut y gallwn ni ddiogelu ein tafarndai yn well.
