Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, the £150 council tax rebate we've just been talking about - the repayment scheme that you're implementing - made possible, as Mark Isherwood said, thanks to the UK Government, is indeed welcome here. However, what is seriously concerning are the multiple reports of families in Wales being stuck in limbo with no access to this support. Online comments to a recent article highlighted the extent of this ordeal, where families in Newport, Carmarthenshire, Wrexham, Caerphilly and many other places stated that they are yet to receive the rebate. Minister, do you know how many people in Wales have received, and are yet to receive, the council tax rebate? I know you've just quoted some figures for Monmouthshire and other parts of Wales. And for those who haven't yet received the funding, can you provide them with the assurance that there will not be any further delays in providing the money?

Diolch, Lywydd. Weinidog, mae'r £150 o ad-daliad y dreth gyngor rydym newydd fod yn sôn amdano - y cynllun ad-dalu rydych yn ei roi ar waith - a wnaed yn bosibl, fel y dywedodd Mark Isherwood, diolch i Lywodraeth y DU, i'w groesawu yma yn wir. Fodd bynnag, yr hyn sy'n peri cryn bryder yw'r nifer o adroddiadau am deuluoedd yng Nghymru sydd mewn limbo, heb unrhyw fynediad at y cymorth hwn. Amlygwyd pa mor ddifrifol yw'r broblem gan sylwadau ar-lein ar erthygl ddiweddar, lle dywedodd teuluoedd yng Nghasnewydd, sir Gaerfyrddin, Wrecsam, Caerffili a llawer o leoedd eraill nad ydynt wedi cael yr ad-daliad eto. Weinidog, a wyddoch faint o bobl yng Nghymru sydd wedi cael ad-daliad y dreth gyngor a faint sy'n dal i aros amdano? Gwn eich bod newydd ddyfynnu rhai ffigurau ar gyfer sir Fynwy a rhannau eraill o Gymru. Ac i'r bobl nad ydynt wedi cael y cyllid eto, a allwch roi sicrwydd iddynt na fydd unrhyw oedi pellach cyn darparu'r arian?

I'm not so sure about the sense part there in voting Conservative. This is a timely debate with the elections tomorrow. I will declare an interest: I am standing for election. I'd like to highlight the 6.5 per cent cuts in local government funding since 2011 and 2012 because it has not been necessary. It has been a very lazy, easy cut for -

Nid wyf mor siŵr am y rhan honno lle y dywedwch fod pleidleisio i'r Ceidwadwyr yn gwneud synnwyr. Mae hon yn ddadl amserol gyda'r etholiadau yfory. Rwyf am ddatgan diddordeb: rwy'n sefyll yn yr etholiad. Hoffwn dynnu sylw at y toriadau o 6.5 y cant yng nghyllid llywodraeth leol ers 2011 a 2012 gan nad ydynt wedi bod yn angenrheidiol. Mae wedi bod yn doriad diog a hawdd iawn i -

Good morning to you all and welcome. I have enjoyed reading your written evidence, and thank you for that evidence. We're all agreed on the need to increase activity. We're asking how to do so. I think you, Professor Hanson, present a very important new element in what we're discussing, which is when this should happen. I have great interest in what you're saying about introducing specific activity in early childhood. Could you explain why early childhood activity is so, so important, and what is the evidence?

Bore da i chi i gyd, a chroeso atom ni i gyd. Rydw i wedi mwynhau darllen y dystiolaeth ysgrifenedig a gafodd ei hanfon atom ni, a diolch am hynny. Rydym ni i gyd yn gytûn ar yr angen i gynyddu gweithgarwch. Rydym ni'n gofyn sut i wneud hynny. Ond rydw i'n meddwl eich bod chi, yr Athro Hanson, yn cyflwyno elfen bwysig iawn newydd i'r hyn rydym ni'n ei drafod, sef pryd ddylai hyn ddigwydd. Mae gen i ddiddordeb mawr yn yr hyn rydych chi'n ei ddweud ynglŷn â chyflwyno gweithgarwch penodol yn gynnar iawn mewn bywyd. A allwch chi egluro pam fod y gweithgarwch plentyndod cynnar yna mor, mor bwysig, a beth ydy'r dystiolaeth?
