Thank you for that answer, Minister. Gerald Holtham, giving the Hodge lecture, said he had no idea how the Welsh economy was going to develop over the next decade. He made the point that Wales should look more towards the foundational economy to simply protect living standards. But he maintained that even if the Welsh economy grows to enrich most of the people in Wales, places like Merthyr were never going to match Bridgend, Swansea, Chepstow - and he should, of course, have added Cardiff. Does the Minister think that this analysis is correct?

Diolch am yr ateb hwnnw, Weinidog. Dywedodd Gerald Holtham, wrth roi darlith Hodge, nad oedd ganddo unrhyw syniad sut y mae economi Cymru am ddatblygu dros y degawd nesaf. Gwnaeth y pwynt y dylai Cymru edrych mwy tuag at yr economi sylfaenol er mwyn gwarchod safonau byw. Ond dywedodd, hyd yn oed os yw economi Cymru'n tyfu i wneud y rhan fwyaf o bobl Cymru yn gyfoethocach, nad oedd lleoedd fel Merthyr Tudful byth yn mynd i ddal i fyny â Phen-y-bont ar Ogwr, Abertawe, Cas-gwent - a dylai fod wedi ychwanegu Caerdydd wrth gwrs. A yw'r Gweinidog yn credu bod y dadansoddiad hwn yn gywir?

Just in terms of the teachers in independent schools, and this call to require them to register with the Education Workforce Council, there is no need for primary legislation to do that, according to my understanding of the situation. It can be done through subordinate legislation. Is there a hope of seeing that happening during the term of this Government?

Jest o ran yr athrawon mewn ysgolion annibynnol, a'r galw yma i'w gwneud hi'n ofynnol iddyn nhw gofrestru efo Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg, does dim angen deddfwriaeth gynradd i wneud hynny, yn ôl beth dwi'n ei ddeall. Mae modd gwneud hynny drwy is-ddeddfwriaeth. Oes yna obaith o weld hynny yn digwydd yn ystod tymor y Llywodraeth yma?

Thank you for taking the intervention. It's really an opportunity to correct what I thought was misleading information on the position of the DWP that was made by the Conservatives. There is no reason at all, when there is a judicial review, why the DWP can't comment, because it's about process and procedure. If the DWP recognises that the women have been treated unfairly, they can say so. All they have to do is withdraw their opposition to the judicial review, and then enter into negotiations and discussions as to how they rectify what has been a rather serious mistake - a gross mistake that they've made. [ Applause.]

Diolch i chi am gymryd yr ymyriad. Mewn gwirionedd mae'n gyfle i gywiro'r hyn y tybiwn ei bod yn wybodaeth gamarweiniol ar safbwynt yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau a wnaed gan y Ceidwadwyr. Nid oes unrhyw reswm o gwbl, pan gynhelir adolygiad barnwrol, pam na all yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau roi sylwadau, oherwydd mae a wnelo â phroses a gweithdrefn. Os yw'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau'n cydnabod bod menywod wedi'u trin yn annheg, gallant ddweud hynny. Y cyfan sydd ganddynt i'w wneud yw tynnu eu gwrthwynebiad i'r adolygiad barnwrol yn ôl, a chychwyn negodiadau a thrafodaethau ynglŷn â sut y gallant unioni'r hyn a oedd yn gamgymeriad go ddifrifol - camgymeriad enbyd y maent wedi'i wneud. [ Cymeradwyaeth.]

Do you believe that this funding is going to enable local authorities to pay more for those social care workers, and that the public sector, as they increase their wages for social carers, are going to be able to take people in from the private sector because they are paying those higher wages and there'll be better working conditions? Is that the intention?

Ydych chi'n meddwl bod yr arian hwn yn mynd i alluogi awdurdodau lleol i dalu mwy ar gyfer y gweithwyr cymdeithasol yna, ac felly bod y sector cyhoeddus, wrth eu bod nhw'n cynyddu cyflogau i ofalwyr cymdeithasol, yn mynd i fedru cymryd pobl mewn o'r sector breifat oherwydd eu bod nhw'n talu mwy ac efo cynlluniau gwaith gwell efo amgylchiadau gwaith gwell? Ai dyna'r bwriad?
