The Welsh Government works with devolved public sector employers and trade unions through the workforce partnership council to ensure that strategic workforce issues such as public service changes are discussed. Locally, public sector employers are committed to similar social partnership arrangements.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio gyda chyflogwyr sector cyhoeddus datganoledig ac undebau llafur trwy gyngor partneriaeth y gweithlu er mwyn sicrhau bod materion strategol, fel newidiadau i wasanaethau cyhoeddus, yn cael eu trafod. Yn lleol, mae cyflogwyr sector cyhoeddus wedi ymrwymo i drefniadau partneriaeth gymdeithasol tebyg.
Thank you very much, Eluned Morgan. Wales has enjoyed a positive relationship with the European Investment Bank throughout the devolution era, with nearly £2 billion invested in both public and private projects, including water, aviation, the motor industry and housing.

Diolch yn fawr, Eluned Morgan. Mae Cymru wedi mwynhau perthynas gadarnhaol â Banc Buddsoddi Ewrop gydol y cyfnod datganoli. Mae bron £2 biliwn wedi cael ei fuddsoddi mewn prosiectau cyhoeddus a phreifat, sy'n cynnwys dŵr, hedfan, y diwydiant moduro a thai.
First Minister, since being returned to the Senedd and working on various committees, including the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee, my view on devolution has evolved, and I'm leaning towards a more grown-up relationship between the UK nations and a move to a more federal structure. I'm interested to know, after hearing your thoughts on the future direction for devolution, is there actually a middle ground between abolish and independence? Thank you.

Prif Weinidog, ers cael fy ethol i'r Senedd a gweithio ar wahanol bwyllgorau, gan gynnwys y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol, mae fy marn ar ddatganoli wedi esblygu, ac rwyf i'n gwyro tuag at berthynas fwy aeddfed rhwng gwledydd y DU a symud tuag at strwythur mwy ffederal. Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn gwybod, ar ôl clywed eich barn ar gyfeiriad datganoli yn y dyfodol, pa un a oes tir canol rhwng diddymu ac annibyniaeth mewn gwirionedd? Diolch.

We need to see a significant increase in the number of children and young people in Welsh-medium education if we are to achieve our ambitious target of a million speakers by 2050. The final version of the Welsh language strategy will include targets to measure outcomes and delivery.

Mae angen inni weld cynnydd sylweddol yn nifer y plant a phobl ifanc sydd mewn addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg os ydym am gyflawni'n targed uchelgeisiol o sicrhau miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050. Bydd y fersiwn derfynol o strategaeth y Gymraeg yn cynnwys targedau i fesur canlyniadau a chyflawniad yn ystod y blynyddoedd nesaf.

Counsel General, we've seen the Tory UK Government repeatedly talk about its levelling-up agenda, but there was scant evidence of that in the recent comprehensive spending review when it came to Wales. And now, as we approach the end of the transition period, the well-worn promise that we wouldn't be a penny worse off after Brexit is looking very thin, as the Chancellor gave further details of the UK shared prosperity fund. What assessment have you made of the shared prosperity fund, how it will live up to its promise as a fit and proper replacement for EU structural funds, particularly in areas such as mine?

Gwnsler Cyffredinol, rydym wedi gweld Llywodraeth Dorïaidd y DU yn siarad dro ar ôl tro am ei hagenda lefelu am i fyny, ond prin oedd y dystiolaeth o hynny yn yr adolygiad cynhwysfawr o wariant yn ddiweddar mewn perthynas â Chymru. A nawr, wrth i ni nesáu at ddiwedd y cyfnod pontio, mae'r addewid mynych na fyddem geiniog yn waeth ein byd ar ôl Brexit yn edrych yn go dila, wrth i'r Canghellor roi rhagor o fanylion am gronfa ffyniant gyffredin y DU. Pa asesiad rydych wedi'i wneud o'r gronfa ffyniant gyffredin, sut y bydd yn cyflawni ei haddewid fel cronfa addas a phriodol yn lle cronfeydd strwythurol yr UE, yn enwedig mewn ardaloedd fel fy un i?
Diolch yn fawr iawn am dderbyn yr ymyriad, ac mae hwn yn gyfraniad pwysig iawn. A ydych wedi ystyried y gallai gwelliannau yng Nghyfnod 2 ddatrys y pryderon sydd gennych?

Thank you very much for taking the intervention, and this is a really important contribution. Have you considered whether amendments at Stage 2 could resolve the concerns that you have?
Diolch, Lywydd. Pam y teimlwch fod y fformiwla bresennol ar gyfer cyllido llywodraeth leol yn addas at y diben, yn cael cefnogaeth lawn awdurdodau lleol ledled Cymru ac yn gallu ymdopi â newidiadau ym mlaenoriaethau gwasanaethau llywodraeth leol?

Diolch, Lywydd. Why do you feel that the current local government funding formula is fit for purpose, has the full support of local authorities across Wales and is able to keep pace with changing priorities of local government services?

Ie. Ac fe wnawn ni roi gwybod i chi, fel pwyllgor, pan fydd yr hysbyseb yn ymddangos.

Yes. And we'll let you know, as a committee, when the advertisement appears.

Diolch. Mae Darren Millar wedi cryfhau'r achos dros ganolbwyntio ar y triongl Evo a'r ffordd y mae wedi cael ei hyrwyddo. Yn wir, gall Aelodau'r Cynulliad hefyd - ac y maent wedi gwneud hynny heddiw - dynnu sylw at y peryglon, a gallwch hefyd godi'r pwyntiau hynny eich hunain gyda chylchgronau sy'n ei hyrwyddo ac, yn wir, ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Ond, GanBwyll - roedd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet allan yno yn y gwanwyn gyda GanBwyll, ac mae'n glir iawn yn uchel ar ei agenda.

Thank you. Darren Millar strengthened the case for a focus on the Evo triangle and the way that it's been promoted. In fact, Assembly Members can also - and they have today - usefully highlight the dangers, and you can also raise those points yourselves with magazines promoting it and, indeed, in terms of social media. But, GoSafe - the Cabinet Secretary was out there in the spring with GoSafe, and it's very clearly high on his agenda.
Diolch. Mae'r cynllun gweithredu economaidd yn nodi sut y byddwn yn adeiladu perthynas 'rhywbeth am rywbeth' gyda busnesau o bob maint, yn seiliedig ar fusnesau'n rhannu ein gwerthoedd drwy gyfrannu at achos cymdeithasol. Rydym yn mynd i wneud hyn drwy'r contract economaidd, drwy'r galwadau i weithredu, a thrwy gronfa dyfodol yr economi, ac wrth gwrs, yr achos cymdeithasol hwnnw yw hybu twf cynhwysol gyda gwaith teg i bawb.

Thank you. The economic action plan sets out how we'll build a 'something for something' relationship with businesses of all sizes, based upon businesses sharing our values by contributing to a social cause. We're going to do this through the economic contract, through the calls to action, and through the economy futures fund, and, of course, that social cause is to drive inclusive growth with fair work for all.

Bydd yn rhaid inni ddarparu - . Mater i Ofcom yw hwnnw, ond yn amlwg gallwn ni gael y nodyn yna ichi, achos rwy'n credu bod tua 200 o orsafoedd cymunedol ar draws Prydain. Yn amlwg, mae gorsafoedd Cymru yn gallu ymgeisio, ond yn amlwg mae'r pot yn lot llai ar gyfer - . Ie.

We'll have to provide - . That's a matter for Ofcom, but we can certainly get you a note on that, because I think there are 200 community stations across Britain. Clearly, the Welsh stations can bid for that, but the pot is far smaller.
Diolch o galon. Ac a gaf i ddiolch o galon i'r pedwar ohonoch chi am ddod i roi tystiolaeth heddiw? Fel roeddwn i'n sôn am y dystiolaeth ysgrifenedig, dwi'n credu ei fod o wedi bod yn sesiwn hynod o fuddiol. Bydden ni wedi gallu gwneud efo awr arall i'ch holi chi. Gaf i ofyn os dŷch chi'n fodlon, os oes gennym ni gwestiynau ychwanegol rydyn ni heb eu cyrraedd neu yn deillio o'ch tystiolaeth chi heddiw, fyddech chi'n hapus inni ysgrifennu atoch chi am dystiolaeth bellach?

Thank you very much. May I thank all four of you for giving evidence today? As I said about the written evidence, I think it's been a very beneficial and interesting session. We could have done with another hour to ask other questions. But if we do have additional questions that we haven't reached, or questions arising from your evidence, would you be happy for us to write to you for that further response?
Ond, jest o ran parhau â'r thema o actorion, rydym ni wedi clywed gan Equity yn y gorffennol, pan ydym ni wedi edrych ar y cyswllt â theledu, fod problemau mawr ynghylch y ffaith bod yn rhaid i actorion fel arfer fynd i Lundain - mae yna lot o bobl ar y trenau i Lundain i wneud clyweliadau yn hytrach na'u cynnal nhw ar gyfer cynyrchiadau Cymru yma yng Nghymru, a wedyn efallai nad ydyn nhw'n cael yr un math o siawns ag actorion eraill. A ydych chi'n credu bod hynny'n wir?

But, just to continue with the theme from an actor's point of view, we've heard from Equity in the past, when we've looked at the situation in television, that there are major problems in terms of the fact that actors usually have to go to London - there are many people on the trains back and forth for auditions, and these are for Welsh productions based here in Wales, but the auditions are held in London, so then they don't have the same opportunities as other actors, perhaps. Do you think that that's the case?
Nac ydw, gan nad wyf i byth yn gwneud sylwadau ar CDLlau na cheisiadau cynllunio. Dyna'r holl bwynt o fod mewn Llywodraeth. Y rheswm pam yr ymddangosodd y stori yn y papur yn y ffordd honno yw oherwydd ei fod ef wedi ei rhoi hi yno ac wedi ei geirio felly. [Chwerthin.] Dyna'r rheswm am hyn ac, wyddoch chi, rwy'n rhoi clod iddo: mae ef, wyddoch chi, yn ddiflino; mae'n dal wrthi. Ond, nid wyf byth yn gwneud unrhyw sylwadau am unrhyw CDLl mewn unrhyw le yng Nghymru cyn belled ag a ddylai fynd yn ei flaen ai peidio. Mae gweithdrefn briodol ar gyfer gwneud hynny.

No, because I never make comments on LDPs or planning applications. That's the whole point of being in Government. The reason why the story appeared in the paper in that way is because he put it there and phrased it that way. [Laughter.] That's the reason for it and, you know, I give him his due: he is, you know, terrier-like; he's still at it. But, I never make any comments on any LDP anywhere in Wales as far as whether it should go ahead or not. There's a proper procedure for doing that.
So, you do believe in climate change now.

Felly, rydych chi bellach yn credu bod newid hinsawdd yn digwydd.

We are investing in all parts of Wales to support our public services, businesses and communities. Investments in Pembrokeshire include £48.7 million for a new secondary school in Haverfordwest and £40 million for improvements to the A40. Pembrokeshire County Council has also been awarded an allocation of £6.9 million of targeted regeneration investment funding.

Rydym yn buddsoddi ym mhob rhan o Gymru i gefnogi ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, ein busnesau a'n cymunedau. Ymhlith y buddsoddiadau yn Sir Benfro mae £48.7 miliwn ar gyfer ysgol uwchradd newydd yn Hwlffordd a £40 miliwn ar gyfer gwelliannau i'r A40. Mae Cyngor Sir Penfro hefyd wedi derbyn dyraniad o £6.9 miliwn o gyllid targedu buddsoddiad mewn adfywio.

Well, it is clear, if you place a condition for applicants -

Wel, mae'n hollol amlwg, os dŷch chi'n rhoi amod ymlaen llaw i ymgeiswyr -
Sorry. When you contextualise this announcement today in terms of the financial security that we need for children's hospices, I'm sure there'll be well-spread agreement in our Parliament today, and it's not only long overdue, but it's very, very much welcome indeed. Diolch.

Mae'n ddrwg gen i. Pan fyddwch chi'n rhoi'r cyhoeddiad hwn heddiw mewn cyd-destun o ran y sicrwydd ariannol sydd ei angen arnom ni ar gyfer hosbisau plant, rwy'n siŵr y bydd cytundeb ledled ein Senedd heddiw, ac nid yn unig y mae'n hen bryd ei gael, ond mae'n rhywbeth i'w groesawu'n fawr iawn. Diolch.
We move on to item 9, the Welsh Conservatives' debate: business rates. I call on Peter Fox to move the motion.

Symudwn ymlaen at eitem 9, dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: ardrethi busnes. Galwaf ar Peter Fox i wneud y cynnig.
Diolch am eich cwestiwn, Joel. Drwy ein hymagwedd tîm Cymru, mae gwasanaethau ar waith i roi cymorth i ffoaduriaid o Wcráin ac Affganistan. Ac mae ein cynllun cenedl noddfa yn nodi'r camau yr ydym yn eu cymryd i integreiddio pawb sy'n ceisio noddfa yng Nghymru.

Thank you, Joel, for your question. Through our team Wales approach, services are in place to support refugees from Ukraine and Afghanistan. And our nation of sanctuary plan sets out the actions we are taking to integrate all people seeking sanctuary in Wales.
We move on therefore to the second item, which is to note a paper that sets out the remit of this committee. Is everyone happy to note that paper? Thank you very much.

Ymlaen â ni felly at yr ail eitem, sef nodi papur ar gylch gorchwyl y pwyllgor yma. Ydy Aelodau'n hapus i nodi'r papur? Diolch yn fawr iawn.

Will Members who are shouting from a sedentary position, who've just walked in now, just before 6 o'clock, please listen to the debate and what's happening here at this point? And I'm looking at you, Mr McEvoy. Carwyn Jones.

A wnaiff yr Aelodau sy'n gweiddi ar eu heistedd, sydd newydd gerdded i mewn yn awr, ychydig cyn 6 o'r gloch, fod cystal â gwrando ar y ddadl a'r hyn sy'n digwydd yma ar hyn o bryd? Ac rwy'n edrych arnoch chi, Mr McEvoy. Carwyn Jones.

We are moving forward with our ambitious vision to reshape public transport infrastructure and services across Wales, including local bus services, rail services through the next Wales and borders franchise, active travel, investments in our strategic road network and the south-east Wales metro project, which will act as a catalyst for integrated transport across Wales.

Rydym yn bwrw ymlaen gyda'n gweledigaeth uchelgeisiol i ail-lunio seilwaith a gwasanaethau trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys gwasanaethau bysiau lleol, gwasanaethau trenau drwy fasnachfraint nesaf Cymru a'r gororau, teithio llesol, buddsoddiadau yn ein rhwydwaith ffyrdd strategol a phrosiect metro de-ddwyrain Cymru, a fydd yn gatalydd ar gyfer trafnidiaeth integredig ledled Cymru.

I don't know if it's a federal system, but I'm advocating a system that has a statutory fair funding mechanism to protect Wales. And I believe that, coming out of the Brexit argument, people understand the need for that, and we should argue for that future.

Nid wyf yn gwybod ai system ffederal ydyw, ond rwy'n cefnogi system sy'n cynnwys mecanwaith cyllid teg statudol i ddiogelu Cymru. Ac rwy'n credu, wrth ddod allan o'r ddadl Brexit, bod pobl yn deall yr angen am hynny, ac y dylem ddadlau dros y dyfodol hwnnw.
'Once you go above 85 per cent bed occupancy, you can predict that you can't cope with fluctuations. You need about a 20 per cent surplus of beds to cope with the kind of fluctuations that we're talking about. When you've got bed occupancies running at 86 or 87 per cent, you start gettingdelays[in] the discharge of patients as well.'

'Pan fydd mwy na 85 y cant o welyau mewn defnydd, gallwch ragweld na allwch ymdopi ag amrywiadau. Mae angen tua 20 y cant o welyau dros ben arnoch i ymdopi â'r math o amrywiadau yr ydym yn sôn amdanynt. Pan fydd gennych 86 neu 87 y cant o welyau mewn defnydd, rydych yn dechrau gweld oedi wrth ryddhau cleifion hefyd.'
O fewn y portffolio sgiliau, rydym yn arwain ar naw prosiect cronfa gymdeithasol Ewrop, gyda £340 miliwn wedi'i gymeradwyo hyd nes fis Rhagfyr 2023. Cefnogwyd tua 105,000 o gyfranogwyr hyd yn hyn, ac rydym yn disgwyl cefnogi 125,000 pellach i ategu nifer o ymrwymiadau 'Ffyniant i Bawb' a chyflawni'r blaenoriaethau gweinidogol allweddol hynny.

Within the skills portfolio, we are leading on nine European social fund projects, with £340 million approved to December 2023. Around 105,000 participants have been supported to date, and we expect to support a further 125,000 to underpin a number of 'Prosperity for All' commitments and to deliver those key ministerial priorities.

Diolch i'r Aelod am ei chwestiwn. Byddwn yn darparu dros £1.5 biliwn yn ystod tymor y Cynulliad hwn i gefnogi tai fforddiadwy. Byddwn yn annog cynlluniau newydd, yn datblygu cynlluniau newydd, gan weithio'n agos i ddarparu tai fforddiadwy gyda'n holl bartneriaid, ac yn diddymu'r hawl i brynu.

I thank the Member for her question. We will be providing over £1.5 billion in this Assembly term to support affordable housing. We'll be encouraging new design, developing new schemes, working closely to deliver affordable homes with all our partners, and abolishing the right to buy.
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

Thank you, Alun, for that question. I think Owain would be the person to respond to this.

Diolch, Alun, am y cwestiwn. Dwi'n meddwl mai Owain ydy'r un i ateb hwn.
Thank you very much, Chair, and welcome this morning. You've done a great deal of work over the past two months looking at poverty and the impact of the pandemic on social care. I'm just asking you to summarise, in a way, your findings and conclusions. What are the lessons you think that we've learnt with regard to the problems that we face in terms of social care systems in Wales and how have those issues come to the fore and worsened due to the pandemic?

Diolch yn fawr iawn, Cadeirydd, a chroeso atom ni. Rydych chi wedi gwneud lot o waith dros y misoedd diwethaf yn edrych ar dlodi ac impact y pandemig ar ofal cymdeithasol. Rydw i'n gofyn ichi grynhoi, mewn ffordd, yr hyn rydych chi wedi ei ganfod rŵan. Beth ydy'r gwersi rydych chi'n meddwl rydym ni wedi eu dysgu ynglŷn â'r problemau sydd gennym ni efo systemau gofal cymdeithasol yng Nghymru a sut mae'r problemau hynny wedi dod i'r wyneb, wedi cael eu gwaethygu gan y pandemig?

I thank you for clarifying your position on that. Now, on the issue of income tax variation, that's something that's coming up later on today - it does sound as if your long-term view may be that a variation of the income tax rate in Wales may be a lever that you can legitimately use, and which you may be enthusiastic about using in the future.

Diolch i chi am egluro eich safbwynt ar hynny. Nawr, ar y mater o amrywio treth incwm, mae hynny'n rhywbeth sydd i ddod yn ddiweddarach heddiw - mae'n swnio efallai mai eich safbwynt hirdymor yw y gallai amrywio'r gyfradd treth incwm yng Nghymru fod yn ysgogiad y gallwch chi ei ddefnyddio'n gyfreithlon, ac y gallech chi fod yn frwdfrydig ynghylch ei ddefnyddio yn y dyfodol.

Can we have the Minister's microphone unmuted, please? Yes.

A gawn ni agor meicroffon y Gweinidog, os gwelwch yn dda? Iawn.

I'm grateful to the Minister for taking an intervention. Has she heard anybody on these benches suggest that we would want the universities to operate as an arm of Government? I thought I made myself completely clear; we want their autonomy and their academic freedom, but they need to be open and accountable.

Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Gweinidog am dderbyn ymyriad. A yw wedi clywed unrhyw un ar y meinciau hyn yn awgrymu y byddem am i'r prifysgolion weithredu fel cangen o Lywodraeth? Roeddwn yn meddwl fy mod wedi dweud hynny'n gwbl glir; rydym eisiau iddynt fod yn annibynnol a yn rhydd yn academaidd, ond mae angen iddynt fod yn agored ac yn atebol.

Diolch. Our immediate priority is to work with partners to respond to changing mental health needs due to the pandemic. Our revised 'Together for Mental Health' delivery plan 2019-22 sets out a range of specific actions, supported by the additional £42 million for mental health in our draft budget to support this.

Diolch. Ein blaenoriaeth gyntaf yw gweithio gyda phartneriaid i ymateb i anghenion iechyd meddwl sy'n newid oherwydd y pandemig. Mae ein cynllun cyflawni diwygiedig 'Law yn Llaw at Iechyd Meddwl' 2019-22 yn nodi ystod o gamau gweithredu penodol, wedi'u hategu gan y £42 miliwn ychwanegol ar gyfer iechyd meddwl yn ein cyllideb ddrafft i gefnogi hyn.
Thank you to Gareth Davies, from the Vale of Clwyd, where I was born, for tabling this motion.

Diolch yn fawr i Gareth Davies, o Ddyffryn Clwyd, lle ces i fy ngeni, am gyflwyno'r cynnig yma.
Arweinydd y tŷ, un peth sy'n bwysig iawn, wrth gwrs, yw gwneud yn siŵr bod darpariaeth gofal plant ar gael yn ystod gwyliau'r ysgol, ac, yn wir, y tu allan i wyliau'r ysgol. Pa ystyriaeth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ei rhoi i'r pryderon a fynegwyd gan y comisiynydd cenedlaethau'r dyfodol ac, yn wir, y Gymdeithas Broffesiynol Gofal Plant a'r Blynyddoedd Cynnar am y cosbau y gallai neiniau a theidiau, modrybedd, ewythrod, brodyr a chwiorydd eu hwynebu os ydynt yn gwarchod ar ran eu perthnasau? Does bosib nad ydym ni eisiau bod yn annog teuluoedd i rannu cyfrifoldebau gofalu, nid eu hatal drwy eu cosbi oherwydd newid Llywodraeth Cymru i'w chanllawiau y llynedd.

Leader of the house, one thing that is very important is, of course, to make sure that there is childcare provision in the school holidays, and, indeed, outside of the school holidays. What consideration has the Welsh Government given to the concerns that have been expressed by the future generations commissioner and, indeed, the Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years about the penalties that grandparents, aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters might face if they are child minding on behalf of their relatives? Surely, we want to be encouraging families to share responsibilities for caring, not discouraging them by penalising them because of the Welsh Government's change in its guidance last year.
Byddaf i'n ddirwyn i ben - o ran Uber, sydd, yn y bôn, wedi datblygu ras i'r gwaelod o ran y gwasanaethau tacsi. Mae'n bwysig mewn unrhyw ddatblygiad nad ydym yn caniatáu i'r gwasanaeth tacsis ddilyn yr un drefn ag Uber - bod yn rhaid iddo gael sail fasnachol gadarn i oroesi a bod yn rhan o wasanaeth trafnidiaeth integredig.

I'll wind up - in respect of Uber, which basically has developed a race to the bottom in taxi services. It's important in any development that we don't allow the uberisation of the taxi service - that it has to have a firm commercial basis to survive and to be part of an integrated transport service.
Well, this is the man who defends Enoch Powell. This is the man who defends Enoch Powell, and he seeks to lecture us on morality. 'Have a good look at yourself' is my response to that. No-one suggests that anybody is above the law, but I'd be interested to know whether there's anything that I said with which he disagrees.

Wel, dyma'r gŵr sy'n amddiffyn Enoch Powell. Dyma'r gŵr sy'n amddiffyn Enoch Powell, ac mae'n ceisio pregethu i ni am foesoldeb. 'Edrychwch yn ofalus arnoch chi eich hun' yw fy ymateb i hynny. Nid oes unrhyw un yn awgrymu bod unrhyw un uwchlaw'r gyfraith, ond byddai gen i ddiddordeb mewn cael gwybod a oes unrhyw beth a ddywedais y mae e'n anghytuno ag ef.
