English: I'd be absolutely delighted to extend my congratulations and thanks to Barry John for the work that he does, and for those other unsung heroes across Wales who do so much to support and help veterans across the country. So, we still need further support for the children of serving personnel, and of course we need the reactivation of the Cymru'n Cofio programme to promote those important military anniversaries, for example the one coming up next year, the fortieth anniversary of the Falklands conflict, but there is without doubt - in spite of the need for improvement in at least those areas - a very real commitment from this Government, which you should be applauded for, regardless of whichever bench anybody sits on in this Chamber. There's also been some very important and positive collaboration between the Welsh Government and the UK Government, and we've seen that inter-governmental work go from strength to strength, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic, which saw serving personnel assisting with driving ambulances, supporting test centres, delivering PPE for our hospitals, and helping of course with that world-beating vaccine roll-out that we were all so very proud of here in Wales. And I hope that that positive co-operation will continue with the appointment of the veterans commissioner for Wales, which the funding was announced for in the Chancellor's recent budget statement. Just very briefly in respect of Plaid Cymru's amendment: we will of course be supporting that amendment. There's a moral imperative for everybody to strive for peaceful resolutions to every conflict that rears its head, and I know that our British armed forces help to do just that; they are peacekeeping in nations around the world right now. So, we will be supporting that amendment. So, Dirprwy Lywydd, in conclusion, I just want to pay tribute to the entire Welsh armed forces community, including the current serving personnel, veterans, reservists, their families, and those groups and charities that play a vital role in supporting that community; especially the Royal British Legion, in this, their one hundredth year. We owe them all a debt of gratitude.
Welsh: Byddwn i wrth fy modd yn estyn fy llongyfarchiadau a diolch i Barry John am y gwaith y mae'n ei wneud, ac i'r arwyr cudd eraill hynny ledled Cymru sy'n gwneud cymaint i gefnogi a helpu cyn-filwyr ledled y wlad. Felly, mae angen cymorth arall arnom ni o hyd i blant y lluoedd arfog, ac wrth gwrs mae angen i ni ailgychwyn y rhaglen Cymru'n Cofio i hyrwyddo'r pen-blwyddi milwrol pwysig hynny, er enghraifft yr un sydd ar ddod y flwyddyn nesaf, deugain mlynedd ers gwrthdaro'r Falklands, ond heb amheuaeth - er gwaethaf yr angen i wella yn y meysydd hynny o leiaf - mae ymrwymiad gwirioneddol gan y Llywodraeth hon, y dylech chi gael eich cymeradwyo amdano, ni waeth pa fainc y mae unrhyw un yn eistedd arni yn y Siambr hon. Bu rhywfaint o gydweithio pwysig a chadarnhaol iawn hefyd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU, ac rydym ni wedi gweld y gwaith rhynglywodraethol hwnnw yn mynd o nerth i nerth, yn enwedig yn ystod pandemig y coronafeirws, a welodd personél sy'n gwasanaethu yn cynorthwyo gyda gyrru ambiwlansys, cefnogi canolfannau prawf, darparu cyfarpar diogelu personol ar gyfer ein hysbytai, a helpu wrth gwrs gyda'r broses orau yn y byd honno yr ydym ni i gyd mor falch iawn ohoni o gyflwyno'r brechlyn yma yng Nghymru. Ac rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y cydweithrediad cadarnhaol hwnnw yn parhau gyda phenodiad comisiynydd cyn-filwyr Cymru, y cafodd y cyllid ar ei gyfer ei gyhoeddi yn natganiad cyllideb diweddar y Canghellor. Yn fyr iawn o ran gwelliant Plaid Cymru: byddwn ni, wrth gwrs, yn cefnogi'r gwelliant hwnnw. Mae rheidrwydd moesol ar bawb i ymdrechu i gael datrysiadau heddychlon i bob gwrthdaro sy'n dod i'r amlwg, ac rwy'n gwybod bod ein lluoedd arfog Prydeinig yn helpu i wneud hynny; maen nhw'n cadw heddwch mewn gwledydd ledled y byd ar hyn o bryd. Felly, byddwn ni'n cefnogi'r gwelliant hwnnw. Felly, Dirprwy Lywydd, i gloi, hoffwn i dalu teyrnged i gymuned gyfan lluoedd arfog Cymru, gan gynnwys y personél presennol sy'n gwasanaethu, cyn-filwyr, milwyr wrth gefn, eu teuluoedd, a'r grwpiau a'r elusennau hynny sy'n chwarae rhan hanfodol yn y gwaith o gefnogi'r gymuned honno; yn enwedig y Lleng Brydeinig Frenhinol, yn eu canfed flwyddyn. Rydym ni'n ddyledus iddyn nhw i gyd.
