English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Our young people hold the key to Wales's future. That is why I'm delighted to have officially launched our young person's guarantee this week. The Welsh Government is determined that there will be no lost generation in Wales as a result of the pandemic. We are putting in place an ambitious programme designed to provide everyone under 25 in Wales with the offer of work, education, training, or self-employment. This, I believe, is the bold action that we must take to help young people to get the best possible start. We want to give young people the support that they need for a brighter future when leaving school, college, university, if they are unemployed or if they face redundancy. Working Wales is now the single gateway for every 16 to 24-year-old in Wales to access the guarantee. This will build on the already strong and successful model of delivering careers guidance and signposting support to all programmes and services available locally. More than 5,500 young people who are eligible for the guarantee have already accessed our Working Wales services since 2021.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Mae ein pobl ifanc yn dal yr allwedd i ddyfodol Cymru. Dyna pam rwy'n falch iawn o fod wedi lansio ein gwarant i bobl ifanc yn swyddogol yr wythnos hon. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn benderfynol na fydd unrhyw genhedlaeth yn mynd ar goll yng Nghymru o ganlyniad i'r pandemig. Rydym yn sefydlu rhaglen uchelgeisiol a gynlluniwyd i ddarparu'r cynnig o waith, addysg, hyfforddiant neu hunangyflogaeth i bawb o dan 25 mlwydd oed yng Nghymru. Rwy'n credu mai dyma'r camau beiddgar mae'n rhaid i ni eu cymryd i helpu pobl ifanc i gael y dechrau gorau posibl. Rydym am roi'r cymorth sydd ei angen ar bobl ifanc ar gyfer dyfodol mwy disglair wrth adael yr ysgol, y coleg, y brifysgol, os ydynt yn ddi-waith neu os ydynt yn wynebu cael eu diswyddo. Cymru'n Gweithio yw'r porth unigol i bob un rhwng 16 a 24 mlwydd oed yng Nghymru gael mynediad i'r warant. Bydd hyn yn adeiladu ar y model sydd eisoes yn gryf ac yn llwyddiannus o ddarparu arweiniad gyrfaoedd a chyfeirio cymorth at yr holl raglenni a gwasanaethau sydd ar gael yn lleol. Mae dros 5,500 o bobl ifanc sy'n gymwys i gael y warant eisoes wedi defnyddio ein gwasanaethau Cymru'n Gweithio ers 2021.
English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you, Minister, for your statement today.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, a diolch i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad heddiw.
English: Thank you, Minister, for bringing forward today's statement. I certainly welcome the overall objectives of looking to get as many young people engaged with work, with self-employment, with training or education. So, I certainly welcome that. I also welcome the specific reference to seeking support for young people into entrepreneurship as well. It's fantastic that so many young people want to set up their own businesses, and that support should be within this guarantee to enable them to do that as best as possible. Minister, you mentioned the cross-working nature of much of this work with other Government departments, and it's true, of course, that schools do play a significant part in not just the obvious educational attainment of pupils, but also an important role in encouraging young people to pursue the most appropriate route for them, whether that be work, further training or, indeed, into self-employment. I was surprised in your statement to not see a specific reference to the role that schools will play in delivering, or helping to deliver, this young person's guarantee. So, perhaps you could outline how you would see that relationship developing with schools to encourage young people to pursue the route that is most appropriate for them. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog, am gyflwyno'r datganiad heddiw. Rwyf yn sicr yn croesawu'r amcanion cyffredinol o geisio cael cynifer o bobl ifanc i ymwneud â gwaith, gyda hunangyflogaeth, gyda hyfforddiant neu addysg. Felly, rwyf yn sicr yn croesawu hynny. Rwyf hefyd yn croesawu'r cyfeiriad penodol at geisio cymorth i bobl ifanc i entrepreneuriaeth hefyd. Mae'n wych bod cynifer o bobl ifanc yn dymuno sefydlu eu busnesau eu hunain, a dylai'r cymorth hwnnw fod o fewn y warant hon i'w galluogi i wneud hynny gystal â phosibl. Gweinidog, fe wnaethoch chi sôn am natur traws-weithio llawer o'r gwaith hwn gydag adrannau eraill y Llywodraeth, ac mae'n wir, wrth gwrs, fod ysgolion yn chwarae rhan bwysig nid yn unig o ran cyrhaeddiad addysgol amlwg disgyblion, ond hefyd rôl bwysig o ran annog pobl ifanc i ddilyn y llwybr mwyaf priodol iddyn nhw, boed hynny'n waith, hyfforddiant pellach neu, yn wir, i hunangyflogaeth. Synnais yn eich datganiad i beidio â gweld cyfeiriad penodol at y rôl y bydd ysgolion yn ei chwarae wrth gyflawni, neu helpu i gyflawni, y warant hon i bobl ifanc. Felly, efallai y gallech chi amlinellu sut y byddech yn gweld y berthynas honno'n datblygu gydag ysgolion i annog pobl ifanc i ddilyn y llwybr sydd fwyaf priodol iddyn nhw. Diolch.
English: Minister, I very much welcome today's statement, in particular the guarantee itself. After all, it was a Welsh Labour Government who supported my route through my apprenticeship at a local small and medium-sized enterprise in Deeside. And you'll be well aware that Airbus UK in my constituency is a huge employer for apprentices and graduate trainees, and I've been particularly impressed with Airbus's commitment and adaptability over the pandemic, who have continued to offer work experience for Welsh students between the ages of 14 and 19. I think it's over 3,500 students have now completed that programme online - a fantastic achievement. Now, you'll know as well as me, Minister, the company has publicly stated their global ambition is to lead the decarbonisation of the aerospace sector, with a commitment to manufacture the world's first zero-emissions commercial jet liner by 2035. Now, that's a very important step there. Wales can lead the way, but we will need our future generations to help deliver that. Minister, can you outline how you can support employers like Airbus and similar employers in this sector as part of this guarantee, ensuring that the next generation are equipped with the skills required to design, develop and manufacture the next generation of carbon-neutral products?
Welsh: Gweinidog, rwyf yn croesawu'n fawr y datganiad heddiw, yn enwedig y warant ei hun. Wedi'r cyfan, Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru a gefnogodd fy llwybr drwy fy mhrentisiaeth mewn menter fach a chanolig leol yng Nglannau Dyfrdwy. A byddwch chi'n ymwybodol iawn bod Airbus UK yn fy etholaeth i yn gyflogwr enfawr i brentisiaid a hyfforddeion graddedig, ac mae ymrwymiad Airbus a'i hyblygrwydd dros y pandemig wedi gwneud argraff arbennig arnaf, sydd wedi parhau i gynnig profiad gwaith i fyfyrwyr o Gymru rhwng 14 a 19 oed. Rwy'n credu bod dros 3,500 o fyfyrwyr bellach wedi cwblhau'r rhaglen honno ar-lein - cyflawniad gwych. Nawr, byddwch yn gwybod cystal â mi, Gweinidog, mae'r cwmni wedi datgan yn gyhoeddus mai eu huchelgais byd-eang yw arwain y gwaith o ddatgarboneiddio'r sector awyrofod, gydag ymrwymiad i weithgynhyrchu awyren jet masnachol di-allyriadau cyntaf y byd erbyn 2035. Nawr, mae hynny'n gam pwysig iawn yno. Gall Cymru arwain y ffordd, ond bydd angen cenedlaethau'r dyfodol arnom i helpu i gyflawni hynny. Gweinidog, a allwch chi amlinellu sut y gallwch gefnogi cyflogwyr fel Airbus a chyflogwyr tebyg yn y sector hwn fel rhan o'r warant hon, gan sicrhau bod gan y genhedlaeth nesaf y sgiliau sydd eu hangen i ddylunio, datblygu a chynhyrchu'r genhedlaeth nesaf o gynhyrchion carbon niwtral?
English: Finally, James Evans.
Welsh: Ac, yn olaf, James Evans.
English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I'd like to thank the Minister for your statement and give credit where credit is due. I do welcome this young person's guarantee from the Welsh Government. I think it's very good that we're going to be offering people under the age of 25 work, education and training, and opportunities for those people to become self-employed. I do have a couple of questions, though, which I hope you can answer. My colleague Paul Davies asked you about the support that was going to be provided for young people to set up their own businesses, and that is a big barrier for many people when they want to start their own businesses - access to finance. I didn't think you answered that question from Paul Davies, and if you could outline what support is going to be available, I'd be very grateful. Finally, with regard to apprenticeships and further education, the regional learning and skills partnerships are going to play a key role in helping you to develop this policy going forward, so can you just please outline, Minister, what discussions you've had with the regional learning and skills partnerships and how they're going to work with you to develop this scheme? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Hoffwn i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am eich datganiad a rhoi clod lle mae'n ddyledus. Rwy'n croesawu'r warant i bobl ifanc hon gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn dda iawn ein bod ni'n mynd i gynnig gwaith, addysg a hyfforddiant i bobl dan 25 oed, a chyfleoedd i'r bobl hynny ddod yn hunangyflogedig. Fodd bynnag, mae gennyf i gwpl o gwestiynau, a gobeithio y gallwch chi eu hateb. Gofynnodd fy nghyd-Aelod Paul Davies i chi am y cymorth a oedd yn mynd i gael ei ddarparu i bobl ifanc i sefydlu eu busnesau eu hunain, ac mae hynny'n rhwystr mawr i lawer o bobl pan fyddan nhw eisiau dechrau eu busnesau eu hunain - cyfle i fanteisio ar gyllid. Nid oeddwn i'n credu eich bod chi wedi ateb y cwestiwn hwnnw gan Paul Davies, ac os wnewch chi amlinellu pa gymorth fydd ar gael, byddwn i'n ddiolchgar iawn. Yn olaf, o ran prentisiaethau ac addysg bellach, mae'r partneriaethau dysgu a sgiliau rhanbarthol yn mynd i chwarae rhan allweddol yn eich helpu chi i ddatblygu'r polisi hwn wrth symud ymlaen, felly a wnewch chi amlinellu, Gweinidog, pa drafodaethau yr ydych chi wedi'u cael gyda'r partneriaethau dysgu a sgiliau rhanbarthol a sut y byddan nhw'n gweithio gyda chi i ddatblygu'r cynllun hwn? Diolch.
English: The final item today is a statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution on an update on the constitutional commission. I call on the Counsel General, Mick Antoniw.
Welsh: Yr eitem olaf heddiw yw'r datganiad gan y Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad ar ddiweddariad ar y comisiwn cyfansoddiadol. Galwaf ar y Cwnsler Cyffredinol, Mick Antoniw.
English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Last month, I announced the appointment of the co-chairs to the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales. I am delighted to be able to come back to the Senedd to announce the appointment of the commissioners. Each commissioner brings different strengths, knowledge, experience and perspectives. They come from all parts of Wales, across the UK and further afield. Each has been selected for the contribution that they can make. They can cover both constitutional law and practice and the practical implications of constitutional reform. They have real experience at the sharp end of questions such as, 'How will these reforms affect citizens?', 'What will the practical impact be?', 'What can we learn from the experience of other nations, in other times and other places?'
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Mis diwethaf, gwnes i gyhoeddi penodiad dau gadeirydd y Comisiwn Annibynnol ar Ddyfodol Cyfansoddiadol Cymru. Rwy'n hapus iawn i allu dod yn ôl i'r Senedd i gyhoeddi penodiad y comisiynwyr. Mae pob comisiynydd yn cynnig cryfderau, gwybodaeth, profiad a safbwyntiau gwahanol. Maen nhw'n dod o bob cwr o Gymru, y Deyrnas Unedig a thu hwnt. Mae pob un wedi'i ddewis am y cyfraniad y gall ei wneud. Maen nhw'n gallu trin cyfraith ac ymarfer cyfansoddiadol a hefyd effaith ymarferol diwygiadau. Mae ganddyn nhw brofiad go iawn o gwestiynau fel, 'Sut fydd y diwygiadau hyn yn effeithio ar bobl?', 'Beth fydd yr effaith ymarferol?', 'Beth allwn ni ei ddysgu o brofiad gwledydd eraill, mewn cyfnodau eraill a llefydd eraill?'
English: I'd like to thank you, Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution, for your statement this afternoon.
Welsh: Hoffwn i ddiolch i chi, Cwnsler Cyffredinol a Gweinidog y Cyfansoddiad, am eich datganiad heddiw.
English: There is no doubt that devolution in Wales has been a journey; it's been a long one. If you think of it for a moment, with our environmental hats on, as a rail journey from London - and the Llywydd will be pleased with this - to Aberystwyth. Now, there are very few who want us to stay in Paddington. There are even fewer who want direct rule from a viceroy-type John Redwood in a Whitehall office, while there are a few over there on the Conservative benches who want to go back to the age of steam and roll devolution back. The majority of us here, and in Wales, want to go full steam ahead, full speed ahead on the devolution journey - hopefully, Llywydd, on to Aberystwyth in an electric train, through the Welsh countryside, avoiding the constituencies of some anti-Senedd Tory MPs in Shropshire on the way. Unlike Darren Millar, I welcome the appointment of the commissioners. As the Counsel General said, we can't include everyone, and we all know who'd be the first to complain if there were too many commissioners appointed.
Welsh: Nid oes amheuaeth nad yw datganoli yng Nghymru wedi bod yn daith; mae hi wedi bod yn un hir. Os meddyliwch chi amdani am eiliad, gan wisgo eich hetiau amgylcheddol, fel taith reilffordd o Lundain - a bydd y Llywydd yn falch o hyn - i Aberystwyth. Nawr, ychydig iawn sydd eisiau i ni aros yn Paddington. Mae llai fyth eisiau rheolaeth uniongyrchol gan lywodraethwr tebyg i John Redwood mewn swyddfa yn Whitehall, er bod ambell un acw ar feinciau'r Ceidwadwyr eisiau mynd yn ôl i oes y trenau stêm a throi datganoli yn ei ôl. Mae'r rhan fwyaf ohonom ni yma, ac yng Nghymru, eisiau mynd yn ein blaenau ar frys, tân arni, ar y daith ddatganoli - gobeithio, Llywydd, ymlaen i Aberystwyth mewn trên trydan, drwy gefn gwlad Cymru, gan osgoi etholaethau rhai Aelodau Seneddol Torïaidd gwrth-Senedd yn Swydd Amwythig ar y ffordd. Yn wahanol i Darren Millar, rwy'n croesawu penodiad y comisiynwyr. Fel y dywedodd y Cwnsler Cyffredinol, ni allwn ni gynnwys pawb, ac rydym ni i gyd yn gwybod pwy fyddai'r cyntaf i gwyno pe bai gormod o gomisiynwyr yn cael eu penodi.
English: This is a very striking collection of commissioners who have broad ranging experience. I'm very pleased that this is the most diverse commission that we have seen in Wales to date, and it's encouraging to see more women than men as members of the commission. If I could just name a few members specifically: Dr Anwen Elias brings great academic experience to the commission. She's written recently in The Welsh Agenda, with her colleagues at Aberystwyth University, on the challenge of including people beyond the usual suspects in our national conversation to ensure that the commission is as inclusive as possible. I very much hope that we can use some of the innovative ways that Dr Anwen Elias and her colleagues at Aberystwyth University have been trialling over the summer. But, of course -
Welsh: Mae hwn yn gasgliad trawiadol iawn o gomisiynwyr, gyda phrofiad helaeth ac eang. Rwy'n falch iawn mai hwn yw'r comisiwn mwyaf amrywiol rŷn ni wedi'i weld hyd yn hyn yng Nghymru, ac mae'n galonogol gweld mwy o fenywod na dynion yn aelodaeth y comisiwn. Os caf i enwi rhai aelodau yn benodol: Dr Anwen Elias - mae hi'n dod â phrofiad helaeth ac academaidd ychwanegol i'r comisiwn. Mae hi wedi ysgrifennu'n ddiweddar yn The Welsh Agenda, gyda'i chydweithwyr ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth, am yr her o gynnwys pobl tu hwnt i'r wynebau arferol yn ein sgwrs genedlaethol i sicrhau bod y comisiwn mor gynhwysol â phosib. Rwy'n mawr obeithio y bydd modd defnyddio rhai o'r ffyrdd arloesol mae Dr Anwen Elias a'i chydweithwyr ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth wedi'u treialu dros yr haf. Ond, wrth gwrs -
English: Counsel General, as regards the expert panel, how they will be appointed, and when do you believe they will be appointed? And I note that the secretariat will be separate from the civil service, but can we ensure that the secretariat does receive support and resources from the civil service when necessary?
Welsh: Cwnsler Cyffredinol, gan sôn eto am y panel arbenigwyr, sut fyddan nhw'n cael eu hapwyntio, a phryd rŷch chi'n meddwl y byddan nhw'n cael eu hapwyntio? A dwi'n sylwi y bydd yr ysgrifenyddiaeth ar wahân i'r gwasanaeth sifil, ond a fyddai modd sicrhau bod yr ysgrifenyddiaeth yn cael cefnogaeth adnoddau y gwasanaeth sifil pan fyddan nhw ei hangen?
English: I am looking forward to seeing this commission engaging with people constructively across Wales. It is important to ensure that the future of Wales is in the hands of the Welsh people. Plaid Cymru, of course, still believes Wales can and Wales will be an independent nation one day. It's not a matter of if but when we become independent, but, for now, let our journey continue. And on that journey, let us be willing to listen to uncomfortable truths, but, more importantly, act upon them. Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld y comisiwn hwn yn ymgysylltu'n adeiladol â phobl ledled Cymru. Mae'n bwysig sicrhau bod dyfodol Cymru yn nwylo'r Cymry. Mae Plaid Cymru, wrth gwrs, yn dal i gredu y gall Cymru fod yn genedl annibynnol ac y bydd hi un diwrnod. Nid yw'n fater o os ond pan fyddwn ni'n dod yn annibynnol, ond, am y tro, gadewch i'n taith barhau. Ac ar y daith honno, gadewch i ni fod yn barod i wrando ar wirioneddau anghyfforddus, ond, yn bwysicach, gweithredu arnyn nhw. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Thank you, Counsel General, for the statement that you've made this evening. But, with the greatest respect, was there any real point to this statement this afternoon? Do you truly believe that this commission is a good use of Welsh Government time and resources, given the state of our NHS and social care system? While I have real concerns about the make-up of this commission politically - I mean, talk about one-sided and jobs for the boys - I'm more concerned about what it would cost the Welsh taxpayer, like my colleague Darren Millar asked you earlier on in the discussion. Counsel General, will you provide a breakdown on the costings of conducting this commission, both in terms of financial outlay as well as the cost of diverting Welsh Government staff from other essential duties? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Cwnsler Cyffredinol, am y datganiad yr ydych chi wedi'i wneud heno. Ond, gyda'r parch mwyaf, a oedd unrhyw bwynt gwirioneddol i'r datganiad hwn y prynhawn yma? A ydych chi wir yn credu bod y comisiwn hwn yn ddefnydd da o amser ac adnoddau Llywodraeth Cymru, o ystyried cyflwr ein GIG a'n system gofal cymdeithasol? Er bod gennyf i bryderon gwirioneddol ynghylch cyfansoddiad y comisiwn hwn yn wleidyddol - sef, sôn am swyddi unochrog a swyddi i'r bechgyn - rwyf i'n pryderu mwy am yr hyn y byddai'n ei gostio i drethdalwyr Cymru, fel y gofynnodd fy nghyd-Aelod Darren Millar i chi'n gynharach yn y drafodaeth. Cwnsler Cyffredinol, a wnewch chi roi dadansoddiad o gostau cynnal y comisiwn hwn, o ran gwariant ariannol yn ogystal â'r gost o ddargyfeirio staff Llywodraeth Cymru o ddyletswyddau hanfodol eraill? Diolch.
English: Well, thank you for your comments. I always worry when someone starts off their speech with 'with the greatest respect', which then means they're going to proceed with absolutely no respect whatsoever. I also then get a bit worried when the person then says about a commission that is seven female to four male, that it's 'jobs for the boys', and I wonder when you wrote the speech whether you touched on this - not as fleet of foot as you might have liked to be. I've already answered the issue of cost. I really don't see a great deal of point in going over the old ground of the commission; we've well debated that. We have an electoral mandate for this commission to go forward, and I believe it is an incredibly timely commission that is being set up at this juncture in the constitutional future of the UK, of Europe, and the global situation in the world. Thank you.
Welsh: Wel, diolch am eich sylwadau. Rwyf i bob amser yn poeni pan fydd rhywun yn dechrau ei araith â 'gyda'r parch mwyaf', sydd wedyn yn golygu ei fod yn mynd i fwrw ymlaen heb unrhyw barch o gwbl. Rwyf i hefyd yn poeni braidd pan fydd yr unigolyn wedyn yn sôn am gomisiwn sy'n saith menyw i bedwar dyn, fel 'swyddi i'r bechgyn', a tybed pan wnaethoch chi ysgrifennu'r araith a wnaethoch chi gyffwrdd â hyn - nid mor ysgafn eich troed â'r hyn yr hoffech i fod. Rwyf i eisoes wedi ateb y cwestiwn am y gost. A dweud y gwir, nid wyf i'n gweld llawer iawn o bwynt mynd dros hen dir y comisiwn; rydym ni wedi hen drafod hynny. Mae gennym ni fandad etholiadol i'r comisiwn hwn fynd yn ei flaen, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn gomisiwn hynod amserol sy'n cael ei sefydlu ar hyn o bryd yn nyfodol cyfansoddiadol y DU, Ewrop, a'r sefyllfa fyd-eang yn y byd. Diolch.
English: And that was the final request to speak on that statement, so that brings our work for the afternoon today to an end. Thank you very much.
Welsh: A dyna ddiwedd ar y ceisiadau i siarad ar y datganiad yna, felly dyna ddiwedd ar ein gwaith ni am y prynhawn, heddiw. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Chair, in the letter from the Minister for finance, in her penultimate sentence, I believe, she mentions an inquiry into changes to local government budgets. That could have far-reaching impacts on local government funding. I was wondering if we would have time in our work programme to look at that issue. She proposes that we do look at those recommendations and that paper; I wonder if we are going to be able to allocate time for that at some point in the near future.
Welsh: Gadeirydd, yn y llythyr gan y Gweinidog cyllid, yn ei brawddeg olaf ond un, os dwi'n cofio, mae'n sôn am argymhellion neu ymchwiliad i mewn i newid cyllideb llywodraeth leol. Mae yna botensial i hynny gael goblygiadau pellgyrhaeddol ar ariannu llywodraeth leol. Roeddwn i'n meddwl tybed a oes yna amser yn mynd i fod efo ni yn ein rhaglen waith ni i edrych ar hynny. Mae hi'n cynnig ein bod ni'n edrych ar yr argymhellion hynny a'r papur hwnnw; tybed a ydym ni'n mynd i fedru neilltuo amser ar gyfer hynny rhywbryd yn y dyfodol agos.
