Welcome back to the latest session of the Health, Social Care and Sport Committee here at the National Assembly for Wales. We are now at item 3, continuation with our scrutiny of the Public Health (Minimum Price for Alcohol) (Wales) Bill. This is evidence session 5, and before us we have the Institute of Economic Affairs. Welcome to Chris Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs. Thank you for your attendance. Also thank you for providing the paper beforehand, and, based on that, we'll go straight into questions. You don't have to touch the mike; it works automatically. The first question is from Caroline Jones.

Croeso nôl i sesiwn ddiweddaraf y Pwyllgor Iechyd, Gofal Cymdeithasol a Chwaraeon yma yng Nghynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru. Rydym ni wedi cyrraedd rŵan eitem 3, sef parhau efo'n trafodaethau i fewn i Fil Iechyd y Cyhoedd (Isafbris am Alcohol) (Cymru). Dyma sesiwn dystiolaeth rhif 5, ac o'n blaenau ni mae'r Sefydliad Materion Economaidd. Rwy'n falch iawn o groesawu Chris Snowdon, pennaeth economeg ffordd o fyw y Sefydliad Materion Economaidd. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am eich presenoldeb. Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi hefyd am ddarparu papur ymlaen llaw, ac yn seiliedig ar hynny fe awn ni'n syth fewn i gwestiynau. Nid oes angen cyffwrdd a'r microffon, mae'n gweithio'n awtomatig. Felly, y cwestiwn cyntaf - Caroline Jones.

Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. I'm glad you mentioned the National Procurement Service. I did raise this with you yesterday in the budget debate. I know that Andrew R.T. Davies mentioned it earlier. It is of key importance in terms of improving procurement procedures in Wales. The Wales Audit Office report into the NPS showed that there were weaknesses in the development of the business case for the NPS, which had not fully complied with the Welsh Government's usual procedures. That same report also highlighted that public bodies are not using the service frameworks as much as anticipated, resulting in concerns over its funding. In answer to Andrew Davies, you did say earlier that you are reviewing this. Can you give some timescales for when you think this review will be complete and you can bring its findings to this Chamber?

Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Rwy'n falch eich bod wedi crybwyll y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol. Codais y mater hwn gyda chi ddoe yn y ddadl ar y gyllideb. Gwn fod Andrew R.T. Davies wedi'i grybwyll yn gynharach. Mae'n allweddol bwysig o ran gwella gweithdrefnau caffael yng Nghymru. Dangosodd adroddiad Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru ar y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol fod gwendidau ynghlwm wrth y broses o ddatblygu achos busnes ar gyfer y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol, nad oedd wedi cydymffurfio'n llawn â gweithdrefnau arferol Llywodraeth Cymru. Tynnodd yr adroddiad hwnnw sylw hefyd at y ffaith nad yw cyrff cyhoeddus yn defnyddio fframweithiau'r gwasanaeth gymaint ag y rhagwelwyd, gan arwain at bryderon ynglŷn â'i ariannu. Mewn ateb i Andrew Davies, fe ddywedoch chi'n gynharach eich bod yn adolygu hyn. A allwch roi amserlenni o ran pryd y credwch y bydd yr adolygiad hwn wedi'i gwblhau ac y gallwch gyflwyno ei gasgliadau i'r Siambr?

Good morning. To Kirsty Williams to start, to what extent are you fully confident that schools have enough resources to deliver the education priorities of Welsh Government, given that stakeholders that we've had evidence from report that there is a funding crisis facing schools?

Bore da. I Kirsty Williams i gychwyn, i ba raddau ydych chi'n gwbl hyderus fod gan ysgolion ddigon o adnoddau i gyflawni blaenoriaethau addysg Llywodraeth Cymru, o gofio bod y rhanddeiliad dŷn ni wedi cael tystiolaeth ganddyn nhw yn adrodd bod yna argyfwng cyllido yn wynebu ysgolion?

Well, Welsh Government has provided support for the food and drink industry to undertake a trade mission ahead of the current trade mission to blaze the trail in terms of the work that we're currently doing in Japan. But I think I'm right in saying that the lamb market has just opened up for us now in Japan, and Hybu Cig Cymru are alongside that trade mission at the moment, seeking to promote our excellent produce.

Wel, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi cymorth i'r diwydiant bwyd a diod i gynnal cenhadaeth fasnach cyn y daith genhadaeth fasnach bresennol i arloesi o ran y gwaith yr ydym ni'n ei wneud ar hyn o bryd yn Japan. Ond rwy'n credu fy mod i'n iawn wrth ddweud bod y farchnad ŵyn newydd agor i ni nawr yn Japan, ac mae Hybu Cig Cymru ochr yn ochr â'r genhadaeth fasnach honno ar hyn o bryd, yn ceisio hyrwyddo ein cynnyrch rhagorol.

I certainly think if a council expresses this, absolutely it should be taken as read by RWM. I want to be very clear that Welsh Government has not identified any sites or communities in Wales where a geological disposal facility could be sited, nor will we seek to do so. Our policy is very clear: a GDF can only be built in Wales if there is a community willing to host it.

Yn sicr, os yw cyngor yn mynegi hyn, credaf y dylai Rheoli Gwastraff Ymbelydrol ei gymryd fel y'i darllenwyd. Hoffwn ddweud yn glir iawn nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi nodi unrhyw safleoedd neu gymunedau yng Nghymru lle gellid gosod cyfleuster gwaredu daearegol, ac ni fyddwn yn ceisio gwneud hynny. Mae ein polisi'n glir iawn: ni ellir adeiladu cyfleuster gwaredu daearegol yng Nghymru oni bai fod cymuned yn barod i'w groesawu.
