English: Llywydd, I thank Alun Davies for that and for the continued interest, of course, that he takes in these matters. He will know that I, together with Ken Skates, met with senior figures from Thales on Monday of last week, including the chief executive officer of Thales UK, and they were very keen to talk about what they have already achieved through their presence in Ebbw Vale. It was very encouraging indeed to hear of the work that they are doing with young women in particular in schools in that area and the very deliberate efforts that they make as a company to make sure that the jobs of the future that they will create are genuinely gender agnostic, and are as equally available to young women as they are to young men. They've taken, as the Member will know, some very practical actions to make sure that that can happen. They did talk to me about further investments that they hope that we will be able to make alongside them to go on making the national cyber security centre a vibrant part of that local economy, remembering that south-east Wales has the greatest concentration of cyber security companies anywhere in the United Kingdom, attracting very real interest from international investors in that as well. As for TVR, we continue to work closely with that company. I was very pleased to see that they took part in the automotive forum, the major meeting of the forum that we held last week as part of the Aston Martin formal opening. There is money available from the Welsh Government to invest alongside TVR in premises in the Blaenau Gwent area. We need the company to be in a strong position to guarantee that they are also able to put on the table the private investment that is necessary to make a success of the infrastructure investment that we would make as a Government. Those discussions are being led, as Alun Davies said, by the Deputy Minister, I know that he is happy to meet and give you a more detailed briefing on where the discussions with TVR have currently reached.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolchaf i Alun Davies am hynna ac am y diddordeb parhaus, wrth gwrs, y mae'n ei gymryd yn y materion hyn. Bydd yn gwybod fy mod i, ynghyd â Ken Skates, wedi cyfarfod ag uwch swyddogion o Thales ddydd Llun yr wythnos diwethaf, gan gynnwys prif swyddog gweithredol Thales UK, ac roedden nhw'n awyddus iawn i siarad am yr hyn y maen nhw eisoes wedi ei gyflawni drwy eu presenoldeb yng Nglynebwy. Roedd hi'n galonogol iawn yn wir i glywed am y gwaith y maen nhw'n ei wneud gyda menywod ifanc yn enwedig mewn ysgolion yn yr ardal honno a'r ymdrechion bwriadol iawn y maen nhw'n eu gwneud fel cwmni i wneud yn siŵr bod swyddi'r dyfodol y byddan nhw'n eu creu yn wirioneddol agnostig o ran rhyw, a'u bod ar gael i'r un lefelau i fenywod ifanc ag y maen nhw i ddynion ifanc. Maen nhw wedi cymryd rhai camau ymarferol iawn, fel y bydd yr Aelod yn gwybod, i wneud yn siŵr y gall hynny ddigwydd. Fe wnaethon nhw siarad â mi am fuddsoddiadau pellach y maen nhw'n gobeithio y byddwn ni'n gallu eu gwneud ochr yn ochr â nhw i barhau i wneud y ganolfan seiberddiogelwch genedlaethol yn rhan fywiog o'r economi leol honno, gan gofio mai'r de-ddwyrain sydd â'r crynodiad mwyaf o gwmnïau seiberddiogelwch yn unrhyw le yn y Deyrnas Unedig, gan ddenu diddordeb gwirioneddol gan fuddsoddwyr rhyngwladol yn hynny hefyd. O ran TVR, rydym ni'n parhau i weithio'n agos gyda'r cwmni hwnnw. Roeddwn i'n falch iawn o weld eu bod nhw wedi cymryd rhan yn y fforwm modurol, sef cyfarfod mawr y fforwm a gynhaliwyd gennym yr wythnos diwethaf yn rhan o agoriad ffurfiol Aston Martin. Mae arian ar gael gan Lywodraeth Cymru i'w fuddsoddi ar y cyd â TVR mewn safleoedd yn ardal Blaenau Gwent. Rydym ni angen i'r cwmni fod mewn sefyllfa gref i sicrhau eu bod hwythau hefyd yn gallu cyflwyno'r buddsoddiad preifat sy'n angenrheidiol i sicrhau llwyddiant y buddsoddiad mewn seilwaith y byddem ni'n ei wneud fel Llywodraeth. Mae'r trafodaethau hynny'n cael eu harwain, fel y dywedodd Alun Davies, gan y Dirprwy Weinidog, gwn ei fod yn hapus i gyfarfod a rhoi gwybodaeth fanylach i chi ynghylch sefyllfa bresennol y trafodaethau gyda TVR.
