Mae Pwyllgor Materion Cymreig Tŷ'r Cyffredin wedi dweud yn ddiweddar bod angen brys am drenau newydd ar rwydwaith rheilffyrdd Cymru. Aeth ymlaen i ddweud bod teithwyr wedi hen flino ar drenau hen a chyfyng, gyda rhai cerbydau a ddefnyddir dros 40 mlwydd oed. Mae rhai locomotifau yn dal i redeg ar ôl eu dyddiadau terfyn. Gan fod masnachfraint Cymru a'r gororau ar fin cael ei hadnewyddu, Brif Weinidog, pa drafodaethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu cael o ran darparu trenau modern i wella gwasanaethau rheilffordd i deithwyr yn y de-ddwyrain, a addawyd ers amser maith iawn erbyn hyn?

The House of Commons Welsh Affairs Committee has said recently that there is an urgent need for new trains on Wales's rail network. It went on to say that passengers were tired of old and cramped trains, with some rolling stock in use being over 40 years old. Some locomotives are still running after their sell-by date. With the Wales and borders franchise coming up for renewal, First Minister, what discussions has the Welsh Government had with regard to providing modern trains to improve rail services for passengers in south-east Wales, which has been promised for a very long time now?

Na, diolch eto i'r Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a'r Cyfansoddiad am eu hystyriaeth o'r gwaith. Rwy'n gwybod y bydd cyd-Aelodau yn cytuno â mi y bydd cael cyfres o reolau yn benodol ar gyfer etholiadau lleol Cymru yn gwella hygyrchedd y gyfraith yn y maes hwn yn sylweddol, a'i fod yn gam sylweddol iawn ymlaen ar gyfer etholiadau Cymru. Diolch.

No, I just thank again the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee for their consideration of the work. I know that colleagues will agree with me that having a set of rules specifically for Welsh local elections will vastly improve the accessibility of the law in this area, and it is a really significant step forward for Welsh elections. Diolch.

Tynnwyd cwestiwn 8 [OAQ53846] yn ôl, er bod yr Aelod Caroline Jones yn y Siambr i fod wedi'i ofyn.

Question 8 [OAQ53846] was withdrawn, even though the Member Caroline Jones is in the Chamber to have asked it.

Wel, gadewch i mi eich atgoffa chi, Prif Weinidog, bod y sefydliad hwn, wrth gwrs, yn atebol yn uniongyrchol i'ch Llywodraeth chi. Mae'n cael £180 miliwn o arian cyhoeddus bob blwyddyn, ac eto mae'n gyfrifol am lu o fethiannau, sydd wedi arwain at gostau sylweddol i'r pwrs cyhoeddus. Mewn dim ond pum mlynedd ers ei sefydlu, mae cyfrifon blynyddol Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi cael eu cymhwyso am dair blynedd yn olynol, ac maen nhw wedi gwerthu coed Cymru yn rhy rhad heb broses dendro briodol, gan arwain at golled o £1 filiwn i drethdalwyr Cymru. Mae'r cyhoedd yn galw am ddiswyddiadau. Mae angen atebolrwydd arnom ni. A oes unrhyw un yn Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi ei ddiswyddo am y methiannau hyn?

Well, let me remind you, First Minister, that this organisation is, of course, directly accountable to your Government. It's in receipt of £180 million of public money every year, yet they are responsible for a litany of failings, which have significant costs to the public purse. In just five years since its establishment, NRW have had their annual accounts qualified for three consecutive years, and they have undersold Welsh timber without a proper tendering process, resulting in a loss of £1 million to Welsh taxpayers. The public are calling for heads to roll. We need accountability. Has anyone at NRW actually been sacked for these failings?

Diolch i James Evans am gyflwyno'r ddadl yma. Dwi'n falch o weld y drafodaeth am drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus yn parhau, ar ôl fy nadl yr wythnos diwethaf. Maen fater hollbwysig am nifer o resymau, ac yn hollbwysig i'r cymunedau hynny rydw i'n eu cynrychioli yma yn y Senedd. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Dirprwy Weinidog hefyd am ei ymateb i fy nadl yr wythnos diwethaf, ac am gadarnhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystyried cynnig y Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol i gyflwyno trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus am ddim i bob person ifanc o dan 25.

Thank you to James Evans for putting forward this debate. I'm pleased to see this discussion about public transport continuing, after my debate last week. It's a vitally important issue, for a number of reasons, and it's important to those communities that I represent here in the Senedd. I'd also like to thank the Deputy Minister for his response to my debate last week, and for confirming that the Welsh Government is considering the motion put forward by the Liberal Democrats to introduce free public transport for every young person under the age of 25.
