English: I'm grateful for that question, because it does go to the heart of the need of tackling poverty in Wales and the challenge that we've got. Can I say that having the role of Minister for Social Justice provides a huge opportunity for me and the whole Government to address the issues that you raise? Because we have to tackle that inequality, which some of you might have heard Professor Michael Marmot on the Today programme this morning talking about, and the fact that the deepening of inequalities as a result of the pandemic means that we have to build a fairer, as well as a better, recovery, and that, I'm sure you'll agree with me, is the way forward. And that's why, in terms of tackling poverty, not just in terms of looking at our own work and the way the programme for government is focusing on the power of all of our collective efforts across the whole Government to address this, we are and I'm sure you would join me in urging the UK Government to change their ways in terms of extending universal credit to ensure that it goes forward in terms of that £20 a week beyond the autumn. Our advice and advocacy services are absolutely critical to tackling poverty as well. So, you'll be aware of the single advice fund: £9.6 million of grant funding available for provision of advice services during this financial year. That's going to be crucial in terms of supporting those tenants who are now going to be able to access the tenancy hardship fund announced today. But also recognising what we've done over the past year, which isn't going to change: funding of £166 million to local authorities through the housing support grant, because homelessness prevention is critical, and it is where local authorities are playing their part to prevent people from being homeless. Our tenancy saver loan scheme - that's for those low-cost loans available to private sector tenants - those moving into the grant will be crucially important, but working with the Minister for Climate Change Julie James, making sure that we lever in the advice services, Citizens Advice, Shelter, as well as our local authorities, to ensure that that tenancy hardship grant will be backed and supported by all the agencies as well as the local authorities at a local level.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar am eich cwestiwn, gan ei fod yn mynd at wraidd yr angen i drechu tlodi yng Nghymru a'r her sy'n ein hwynebu. A gaf fi ddweud bod cael rôl y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol yn gyfle enfawr i mi a'r Llywodraeth gyfan fynd i'r afael â'r materion a godwch? Oherwydd mae'n rhaid inni fynd i'r afael â'r anghydraddoldeb y gallai rhai ohonoch fod wedi clywed yr Athro Michael Marmot yn siarad amdano y bore yma ar raglen Today, a'r ffaith bod yr anghydraddoldebau sy'n gwaethygu o ganlyniad i'r pandemig yn golygu bod yn rhaid inni sicrhau adferiad tecach, yn ogystal â gwell, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn cytuno mai dyna'r ffordd ymlaen. Ac o ran trechu tlodi, nid yn unig o ran edrych ar ein gwaith ein hunain a'r ffordd y mae'r rhaglen lywodraethu'n canolbwyntio ar rym ein holl ymdrechion cyfunol ar draws y Llywodraeth gyfan i fynd i'r afael â hyn, dyna pam ein bod yn annog, ac rwy'n siŵr y byddech yn ymuno â mi i annog Llywodraeth y DU i ailfeddwl ac ymestyn credyd cynhwysol i sicrhau bod yr £20 yr wythnos yn parhau wedi'r hydref. Mae ein gwasanaethau cynghori ac eirioli yn gwbl hanfodol er mwyn trechu tlodi hefyd. Felly, fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol o'r gronfa gynghori sengl: mae £9.6 miliwn o gyllid grant ar gael er mwyn darparu gwasanaethau cynghori yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon. Bydd hynny'n hanfodol i gefnogi'r tenantiaid a fydd yn gallu defnyddio'r gronfa caledi i denantiaid a gyhoeddwyd heddiw. Ond hefyd, dylid cydnabod yr hyn rydym wedi'i wneud dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, nad yw'n mynd i newid: cyllid o £166 miliwn i awdurdodau lleol drwy'r grant cymorth tai, gan fod atal digartrefedd yn hollbwysig, a dyma ble mae awdurdodau lleol yn chwarae eu rhan i atal pobl rhag bod yn ddigartref. Bydd ein cynllun benthyciadau arbed tenantiaeth - ar gyfer y benthyciadau cost isel sydd ar gael i denantiaid yn y sector preifat - bydd y ffaith eu bod yn symud i mewn i'r grant yn hanfodol bwysig, ond gan weithio gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd, Julie James, i sicrhau ein bod yn cynnwys y gwasanaethau cynghori, Cyngor ar Bopeth, Shelter, yn ogystal â'n hawdurdodau lleol, i sicrhau y bydd y grant caledi i denantiaid yn cael ei ategu a'i gefnogi gan yr holl asiantaethau yn ogystal â'r awdurdodau lleol ar lefel leol.
