We moved to item 8, which is a statement by the Minister for Environment on recycling in Wales, and I now call on the Minister, Hannah Blythyn, to make the statement.

Rydym ni wedi symud i eitem 8, sef datganiad gan Weinidog yr Amgylchedd ynglŷn ag ailgylchu yng Nghymru, a galwaf ar y Gweinidog, Hannah Blythyn, i wneud y datganiad.

Diolch. Can I thank the Minister for that answer? The Centre for Social Justice's report, 'Universal Basic Income: An Effective Policy for Poverty Reduction', argues that UBI is unaffordable, putting at risk the provision of important services in healthcare and in education, adding that it, quote, 'Doesn't meet the needs of low income households facing complex problems such as drug addiction, dangerous debt, and family breakdown', and 'Provides a major disincentive to find work', and 'Is no more generous to the most disadvantaged households than the provisions under Universal Credit. In addition, we also know that studies show that UBI also has a limited effect on people's overall engagement with the labour market, and they also ask whether a higher rated UBI would be so expensive that it's difficult to invest in other essential services, such as the cost of construction of new social housing and the provision of low-cost public transport. So, with the evidence against UBI stacking up, Minister, will you outline which of our public services in Wales you think will need to be cut in order to afford it?

Diolch. A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei hateb? Mae adroddiad y Ganolfan Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, 'Universal Basic Income: An Effective Policy for Poverty Reduction', yn dadlau nad yw incwm sylfaenol cyffredinol yn fforddiadwy, gan beryglu'r gallu i ddarparu gwasanaethau pwysig mewn gofal iechyd ac addysg, gan ychwanegu, a dyfynnaf, nad yw'n 'diwallu anghenion aelwydydd incwm isel sy'n wynebu problemau cymhleth fel dibyniaeth ar gyffuriau, dyledion peryglus, a chwalfa deuluol', a'i fod yn 'ddatgymhelliad mawr i ddod o hyd i waith', ac nad 'yw'n fwy hael i'r aelwydydd mwyaf difreintiedig na darpariaethau'r Credyd Cynhwysol.' Yn ogystal, gwyddom hefyd fod astudiaethau'n dangos mai effaith gyfyngedig y mae incwm sylfaenol cyffredinol yn ei chael ar ymgysylltiad pobl â'r farchnad lafur at ei gilydd, ac maent hefyd yn gofyn a fyddai cyfradd uwch o incwm sylfaenol cyffredinol mor ddrud fel y byddai'n anodd buddsoddi mewn gwasanaethau hanfodol eraill, megis cost adeiladu tai cymdeithasol newydd a darparu mwy o drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus cost isel. Felly, gyda'r dystiolaeth yn pentyrru yn erbyn incwm sylfaenol cyffredinol, Weinidog, a wnewch chi amlinellu pa rai o'n gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru y credwch y bydd angen eu torri er mwyn gallu ei fforddio?

I'd like to start by paying tribute to Sally Holland and her staff for all the different issues they've taken up during this year, and also for the way she's worked so closely with us Assembly Members and with the Children, Young People and Education Committee, where she has appeared frequently and has really influenced, I think, the way that we've made decisions. And of course, most importantly of all, working directly with children and giving children a voice in Wales.

Hoffwn ddechrau trwy dalu teyrnged i Sally Holland a'i staff am yr holl faterion gwahanol maen nhw wedi gweithredu arnyn nhw yn ystod y flwyddyn hon, ac am y ffordd y mae hi wedi gweithio mor agos gyda ni, Aelodau'r Cynulliad a gyda'r Pwyllgor Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg, trwy fod yn bresennol yn aml a chael dylanwad mawr, yn fy marn i, ar y ffordd yr ydym ni wedi gwneud penderfyniadau. Ac wrth gwrs, yn bwysicaf oll, yn gweithio gyda phlant yn uniongyrchol gan roi llais i blant yng Nghymru.

Thank you, Rhianon. In Wales, all children benefit from music education during the foundation phase and at key stages 2 and 3, when it is a statutory part of the curriculum. Furthermore, the Welsh Government is collaborating with stakeholders across the education and culture sectors to deliver a range of measures aimed at enhancing that provision.

Diolch, Rhianon. Yng Nghymru, mae pob plentyn yn elwa ar addysg gerddoriaeth yn ystod y cyfnod sylfaen ac yng nghyfnodau allweddol 2 a 3, pan fo'n rhan statudol o'r cwricwlwm. Yn ogystal â hynny, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cydweithio â rhanddeiliaid ar draws y sectorau addysg a diwylliant i gyflwyno ystod o fesurau sy'n anelu at wella'r ddarpariaeth honno.
