Thank you for the question. We are currently considering how best to further develop economic, social and environmental action within this area, particularly in the Heads of the Valleys area. Over £19 million has already been approved for projects benefiting our south Wales Valleys towns through the Transforming Towns programme, which includes an allocation of over £1.5 million for each local authority.

Diolch am eich cwestiwn. Ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn ystyried y ffordd orau o ddatblygu gweithgarwch economaidd, cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol ymhellach yn yr ardal hon, yn enwedig yn ardal Blaenau'r Cymoedd. Mae dros £19 miliwn eisoes wedi'i gymeradwyo ar gyfer prosiectau sydd o fudd i'n trefi yng Nghymoedd de Cymru drwy'r rhaglen Trawsnewid Trefi, sy'n cynnwys dyraniad o dros £1.5 miliwn ar gyfer pob awdurdod lleol.

We may now reconvene our discussions. And, therefore, I call Gareth Bennett.

Gallwn ni ailgychwyn ein trafodaethau. Ac, felly, rydw i'n galw Gareth Bennett.

I wouldn't normally intervene, but - I'm grateful to the Member for letting me intervene - firstly, it is right to say the position changes, because it's such a fluid situation we find ourselves in. There are always new complications that arise and, as Keynes said, 'When the facts change, I change my mind', and that's one of the things I think you have to be open to. One point I wanted to clarify: he talked about the Plaid amendment, and said he had no difficulty with the Plaid amendment. The Plaid amendment talks about EFTA membership and EEA membership as being possibilities for Wales. Are either of those scenarios something that he's prepared to consider?

Ni fuaswn fel arfer yn ymyrryd, ond - rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Aelod am adael i mi ymyrryd - yn gyntaf, mae'n gywir dweud bod y safbwynt yn newid, oherwydd rydym mewn sefyllfa mor gyfnewidiol. Mae yna gymhlethdodau newydd yn codi bob amser ac fel y dywedodd Keynes, 'Pan fo'r ffeithiau'n newid, rwy'n newid fy meddwl', ac rwy'n credu bod hynny'n un o'r pethau y mae'n rhaid i chi fod yn agored iddo. Un pwynt roeddwn am ei egluro: soniodd am welliant Plaid Cymru, a dywedodd nad oedd ganddo unrhyw drafferth gyda gwelliant Plaid Cymru. Mae gwelliant Plaid Cymru yn sôn am aelodaeth o EFTA ac aelodaeth o'r AEE fel posibiliadau ar gyfer Cymru. A oes unrhyw un o'r senarios hynny yn rhywbeth y mae'n barod i'w hystyried?

Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. As you will be aware, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation last week published its report, 'We Can Solve Poverty in the UK', which highlighted five points. One of those was strengthening families and communities, which comes under your remit. They also include four recommendations. In my constituency of Aberavon, many families are struggling and facing difficult challenges ahead of them. What actions are the Welsh Government taking to ensure that these families are able to benefit from the strengthened family support, such as Families First? Will you guarantee that Families First funding will continue beyond the current stage?

Diolch am eich ateb, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Fel y gwyddoch, yr wythnos ddiwethaf, cyhoeddodd Sefydliad Joseph Rowntree ei adroddiad, 'We Can Solve Poverty in the UK', a dynnai sylw at bum pwynt. Un o'r rhain oedd cryfhau teuluoedd a chymunedau, sy'n rhan o'ch cylch gwaith. Maent hefyd yn cynnwys pedwar argymhelliad. Yn fy etholaeth i, sef Aberafan, mae llawer o deuluoedd yn ei chael hi'n anodd ac yn wynebu cryn heriau. Pa gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau y gall y teuluoedd hyn elwa o well cymorth i deuluoedd, megis Teuluoedd yn Gyntaf? A wnewch chi sicrhau y bydd cyllid Teuluoedd yn Gyntaf yn parhau y tu hwnt i'r cyfnod presennol?
