Thank you. Just one comment on the basis of what's been said. Communication is important, but decisions at an early stage regarding next summer's arrangements are also important. I know quality assurance is of importance to you, but more importantly, ultimately, is the well-being of the learner. So, I would ask you, if there is a need to move to the alternative model, for that to happen earlier rather than later in the day, and to give some consideration to that. Turning now to your regulatory role and the awarding bodies, there is a problem, isn't there, with the awarding bodies? We have seen two of them surrendering their recognised status during the year - I think it was the British Safety Council and another one deciding to do so. How much of a concern is the situation regarding the awarding bodies for Qualifications Wales?

Diolch. Jest un sylw ar sail yr hyn sydd wedi cael ei ddweud. Mae cyfathrebu'n bwysig, ond mae penderfyniadau buan ynglŷn â threfniadau'r haf nesaf yn bwysig hefyd. Dwi'n gwybod bod quality assurance yn fater o bwys i chi, ond yn bwysicach yn y pen draw ydy lles y dysgwyr, ac felly mi fyddwn i yn gofyn i chi, os oes angen symud i'r model amgen, fod hynny'n digwydd yn gynt yn hytrach nag yn hwyrach yn y dydd, ac yn rhoi ystyriaeth i hynny. A throi at eich rôl chi fel rheoleiddiwr a'r cyrff dyfarnu, mae yna broblem, onid oes, efo'r cyrff dyfarnu? Rydyn ni wedi gweld dau ohonyn nhw'n ildio eu statws cydnabyddedig yn ystod y flwyddyn, dwi'n meddwl - Cyngor Diogelwch Prydain ac un arall wedi penderfynu gwneud hynny. Faint o bryder ydy'r sefyllfa ynglŷn â chyrff dyfarnu i Cymwysterau Cymru?

I give you some credit: having been part of a Government that did have a transformative impact on the Valleys, you are in a position to judge. [Laughter.] But, on the Circuit of Wales, as members of the Public Accounts Committee, we've both read the auditor general's report on that, and there are significant concerns in there about the way the project has been handled to date. Wouldn't it be better to take the time to do this properly, to make sure we don't have another white elephant?

Rwy'n rhoi rhywfaint o gydnabyddiaeth i chi: ar ôl bod yn rhan o Lywodraeth a gafodd effaith drawsnewidiol ar y Cymoedd, rydych mewn sefyllfa i farnu. [Chwerthin.] Ond ar Gylchffordd Cymru, fel aelodau o'r Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus, rydym ein dau wedi darllen adroddiad yr archwilydd cyffredinol ar hynny, ac mae pryderon sylweddol ynddo am y ffordd y mae'r prosiect wedi cael ei drin hyd yn hyn. Oni fyddai'n well rhoi amser i wneud hyn yn iawn, i wneud yn siŵr na chawn eliffant gwyn arall?

I'll certainly ask my colleague who is best placed to provide you with a fuller update on the work that he's undertaking there. I know that the Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport is extremely ambitious for the Tech Valleys and is pursuing a number of ideas that could bring together some very exciting approaches to technology and to the digital agenda within that area. I'm also very keen to explore what more we can do to harness the potential of digital to ensure that transport does become more accessible for people. I'll make sure that you have a fuller response to that. FootnoteLink

Byddaf yn sicr yn gofyn i fy nghyd-Aelod sydd yn y sefyllfa orau i roi diweddariad llawnach i chi ar y gwaith y mae'n ei wneud yno. Gwn fod Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth yn hynod o uchelgeisiol ar gyfer y Cymoedd Technoleg ac yn mynd ar drywydd nifer o syniadau a allai gyfuno dulliau cyffrous iawn o weithredu technoleg a'r agenda ddigidol o fewn yr ardal honno. Rwyf hefyd yn awyddus iawn i ystyried beth arall y gallwn ei wneud i harneisio potensial digidol i sicrhau bod trafnidiaeth yn dod yn fwy hygyrch i bobl. Fe wnaf yn siŵr eich bod yn cael ymateb llawnach i hynny. FootnoteLink
