English: Well, the reason, Llywydd, that I said to the Finance Committee this morning that I didn't think the decision in relation to the Circuit of Wales had a direct bearing on the mutual investment model the Welsh Government has put together is a matter of timing as much as anything else. The one preceded the other. We had already developed our mutual investment model. I had already made a statement on the floor of the Assembly here about it and answered questions about it, and we had already had to submit that model to the ONS and to Eurostat to allow ourselves to be satisfied that the way that that mutual investment model had been structured did not run a significant risk of those projects to be encompassed within it ending up on the public balance sheets. We did that, as you know, very much in the light of the Scottish Government experience, where their parallel model has ended up with many, many, many millions of pounds having to be found directly from public capital. So, that work is completed, and we've taken that advice. In that sense, I do not believe that it has to be revisited in the light of a completely separate project. As to the Member's detailed questions as to where advice was sought, I don't have that information with me. I do know that the information and advice that came from those who had taken that advice was that the risk of the Circuit of Wales being classified to the public accounts was very significant, and that that would have had a very major bearing on the Welsh Government's ability to carry out the capital investment projects that we have already announced and are committed to providing in Wales.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r rheswm, Llywydd, pam y dywedais wrth y Pwyllgor Cyllid y bore yma nad oeddwn yn credu bod y penderfyniad mewn perthynas â Chylchffordd Cymru yn effeithio'n uniongyrchol ar y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i roi at ei gilydd yn fater o amseru yn gymaint ag unrhyw beth arall. Daeth un cyn y llall. Roeddem eisoes wedi datblygu ein model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol. Roeddwn eisoes wedi gwneud datganiad yn ei gylch ar lawr y Cynulliad hwn ac wedi ateb cwestiynau amdano, ac roeddem eisoes wedi gorfod cyflwyno'r model hwnnw i'r Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol ac i Eurostat er mwyn bodloni'n hunain nad oedd y ffordd roedd y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol wedi ei strwythuro yn creu risg sylweddol y byddai'r prosiectau hynny a oedd i'w cynnwys ynddo yn cael eu rhoi ar y mantolenni cyhoeddus yn y pen draw. Gwnaethom hynny, fel y gwyddoch, i raddau helaeth iawn yn sgil profiad Llywodraeth yr Alban, lle bu'n rhaid i'w model cyfatebol ddod o hyd i filiynau lawer o bunnoedd yn uniongyrchol o gyfalaf cyhoeddus yn y pen draw. Felly, mae'r gwaith hwnnw wedi'i gwblhau, ac rydym wedi cael y cyngor hwnnw. Yn hynny o beth, nid wyf yn credu bod yn rhaid ailedrych arno yng ngoleuni prosiect cwbl ar wahân. O ran cwestiynau manwl yr Aelod ynglŷn â ble y gofynnwyd am gyngor, nid yw'r wybodaeth honno gennyf wrth law. Gwn mai'r wybodaeth a'r cyngor a ddaeth gan y rhai a gymerodd y cyngor hwnnw oedd bod risg sylweddol iawn y byddai Cylchffordd Cymru yn cael ei dosbarthu i'r cyfrifon cyhoeddus, ac y byddai hynny wedi cael effaith mawr iawn ar allu Llywodraeth Cymru i gyflawni'r prosiectau buddsoddi cyfalaf rydym eisoes wedi'u cyhoeddi ac yr ymrwymasom i'w darparu yng Nghymru.
