Byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallech - oherwydd rydych yn amlwg wedi gwneud ymchwil ar hyn - enwi un ariannwr, un person sy'n deall dyled gyhoeddus, a fyddai'n cefnogi'r polisi hwn o roi £500 biliwn arall ar gerdyn credyd y Deyrnas Unedig. Clywais yr hyn a ddywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ac nid yw'r Gronfa Ariannol Ryngwladol yn cefnogi'r polisi hwnnw.

I'd be grateful if you could - because you've obviously researched this - name one financier, one person who understands public debt, who would back this policy of putting another £500 billion on the credit card of the United Kingdom. I heard what the Cabinet Secretary said and the IMF do not support that policy.

Diolch, Weinidog. Ym mis Mawrth 2020, nododd Llywodraeth Cymru fod cyfanswm holl gronfeydd wrth gefn awdurdodau lleol yn £1.5 biliwn, ac roeddent wedi cynyddu 42 y cant i £2.13 biliwn erbyn mis Mawrth 2021. I roi hyn yn ei gyd-destun, yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon, roedd y grant cynnal refeniw a ddyrannwyd gennych i awdurdodau lleol yn £3.9 biliwn. Rwy'n derbyn bod angen i awdurdodau lleol gadw arian wrth gefn ac nad yw sut y gellir defnyddio'r cronfeydd wrth gefn hynny'n fater syml, ond wrth ichi drafod y sefyllfa ariannol gyffredinol gydag awdurdodau lleol dros y mis nesaf, a wnewch chi roi sicrwydd i'r Senedd na fydd symiau mawr o arian yn eistedd yng nghyfrifon banc awdurdodau lleol tra bod arweinwyr cynghorau, ar yr un pryd, yn cwyno am y diffyg arian i ddarparu gwasanaethau hanfodol? Diolch.

Thank you, Minister. Minister, in March 2020, the Welsh Government reported all local authority reserves to be £1.5 billion, which increased by 42 per cent to £2.13 billion by March 2021. To put this into context, in this current financial year, the revenue support grant allocated by you to local authorities was £3.9 billion. I accept that local authorities need to hold money in reserve and it's not a simple matter as to how those reserves can be used, but, as you discuss the overall financial position with local authorities over the next month, would you assure the Senedd that vast sums of money will not just be left in local authority bank accounts whilst council leaders at the same time complain about the lack of money to provide essential services? Thank you.

Roeddwn i'n hanner disgwyl i'r cwestiwn yma gael ei dynnu'n ôl gan y Torïaid ar ôl i ffigurau dychrynllyd ddod i'r amlwg yn dangos effaith bosibl ymadawiad Cymru o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd ar ein cymunedau tlotaf. Efallai y byddan nhw'n diystyru fel codi bwganod y dadansoddiad sydd wedi dangos, ar sail cymariaethau rhwng gwariant Llywodraeth y DU ar ddatblygu economaidd a dosbarthiad cronfeydd strwythurol yr UE, y gallai Cymru golli £2.3 biliwn dros chwe blynedd, os caiff y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin ei dosbarthu yn yr un modd ag y mae'r Llywodraeth yn dyrannu gwariant presennol ar faterion economaidd. Roedd hyn yn cyfateb i roi siec am dros £200 i bob un o drigolion Llundain a chymryd £700 oddi wrth bob un o bobl Cymru. Ni all y Rhondda, yr wyf i'n ei gynrychioli, fforddio colli unrhyw arian, heb sôn am gymaint â hyn o arian. Felly, sut ydych chi'n mynd i atal y sefyllfa hunllefus hon rhag datblygu?

I was half expecting this question to be withdrawn by the Tories after shocking figures emerged showing the potential impact of Wales's exit from the European Union upon our poorest communities. Perhaps they'll just dismiss as scaremongering the analysis that has shown that, based on comparisons between the UK Government spending on economic development and the distribution of EU structural funds, Wales could lose £2.3 billion over six years, if the new shared prosperity fund is distributed in the same way as the Government allocates current spending on economic affairs. This was equating to handing every Londoner a cheque for over £200 and taking away £700 from every single Welsh person. The Rhondda, where I represent, cannot afford to lose any money, let alone this much money. So, how are you going to prevent this nightmare scenario from unfolding?
