Thank you very much, Pedr. I'm very aware of time, so I should move forward, unless anybody else wants to add something urgently. I don't see that anyone does, so I'll hand the reins back to the Chair. Thank you.

Diolch am hynna, Pedr. Rwy'n ymwybodol iawn o'r amser felly well i fi symud ymlaen, oni bai fod rhywun eisiau ychwanegu rhywbeth ar frys. Dwi ddim yn gweld bod unrhyw un, felly af nôl at y Gadeirydd. Diolch yn fawr.

Thank you, Chair, and good morning, Minister. I know that time is short, so just the one question from me if I may. In March 2021, a capital grant of £30 million was announced, and local authorities have made bids in excess of £125 million. Bearing in mind that this announcement was made before you became the responsible Minister, can you give the committee an update on this grant and whether the number of bids shows an enhanced appetite in local authorities to improve their Welsh language services and to support targets for 2050?

Diolch, Gadeirydd, a bore da, Weinidog. Rwy'n gwybod bod amser yn brin, so dim ond un cwestiwn wrthyf i, os caf i. Ym mis Mawrth 2021, cyhoeddwyd grant cyfalaf o £30 miliwn; mae hwn wedi cael cynigion gan gynghorau lleol gwerth dros £125 miliwn. Gan gofio y gwnaed y cyhoeddiad hwn cyn mai chi oedd y Gweinidog cyfrifol, a allwch chi roi diweddariad i'r pwyllgor ar y grant yma, ac ydy nifer y ceisiadau yn dangos uchelgais cynyddol ymhlith cynghorau lleol i ehangu eu darpariaeth Gymraeg a chymorth ar gyfer targedau Cymraeg 2050?249

Like you and many other people, Helen Mary Jones, the re-provision of a new school for that community remains a priority for me. I look forward to receiving an application from Carmarthenshire council so that we can proceed with that project.

Fel chithau a llawer o bobl eraill, Helen Mary Jones, mae ailddarparu ysgol newydd ar gyfer y gymuned honno'n parhau i fod yn flaenoriaeth i mi. Edrychaf ymlaen at dderbyn cais gan gyngor Sir Gaerfyrddin fel y gallwn fwrw ymlaen â'r prosiect hwnnw.

I'm grateful to you for taking an intervention, Cabinet Secretary. You said that the stock had been lost. As David, who introduced the debate, said, that was a flaw of the scheme that came in - that the money was not used to replace it. Why do you, therefore, acknowledging that there was that deficit in the original scheme, not just make the scheme more adaptable to what is required in the twenty-first century and actually allow receipts to be used to build more homes, rather than outlawing the scheme - using the law to outlaw something like this?

Rwy'n ddiolchgar i chi am dderbyn ymyriad, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Fe ddywedoch fod y stoc wedi'i cholli. Fel y dywedodd David, a gyflwynodd y ddadl, roedd hwnnw'n nam ar y cynllun a gyflwynwyd - nad oedd yr arian yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gymryd lle'r stoc. Pam rydych chi, felly, yn cydnabod bod yna ddiffyg o'r fath yn y cynllun gwreiddiol, yn hytrach na gwneud y cynllun yn fwy hyblyg i'r hyn sydd ei angen yn yr unfed ganrif ar hugain a chaniatáu i'r derbyniadau gael eu defnyddio mewn gwirionedd i adeiladu mwy o gartrefi, yn hytrach na gwahardd y cynllun - a defnyddio'r gyfraith i wahardd rhywbeth fel hyn?

It's five minutes, actually, not six. I call Alun Davies.

Pum munud ydyw, mewn gwirionedd, nid chwech. Galwaf ar Alun Davies.
