English: I've taken part in past debates on the introduction of the Welsh Government's NVZ approach, so I'm largely going to use my time today to highlight the plight and example of one particular farming family and how these regulations will affect them. But for the purpose of clarity, I will repeat my long-standing views that these regulations should never have been introduced; they are unnecessary, disproportionate and devastating to the farming industry. The Conservative motion has been put forward by my colleague James Evans, and as Llyr has pointed out, this motion today will not cancel those regulations, but I very much hope that there'll be support in this Chamber this afternoon for the start of a process that could ultimately lead to the scrapping and repealing of these appalling regulations. I'd like to highlight the plight of one tenant farming family in my own constituency: Brian Jones, his wife, Susan, and son, Andrew. As farmers to Coed y Parc in Caersws, a 105-acre all-grassland farm, which is the home to an 85-strong closed dairy herd, they've been farming there since 1973 on a lifetime tenancy agreement. Brian Jones has put some comments together and I'm going to read what he's said. These are his words: 'I've been milking cows my entire life, starting from when I was just 12 years old, and will mark my sixty-sixth year on dairy farming this year. It's what we do as a family. It's our life. We have never had a pollution incident here.' I'll say that again. 'From someone who's been farming on that farm for 66 years' - I hope Joyce Watson is listening as well - 'we have never had a pollution incident here.' He goes on to say: 'NRW, through their own assessment, have confirmed there is no pollution here, but we still need to comply with these new regulations and carry out work at an eye-watering cost in the region of £70,000.' 'Who is going to pay for that?', Mr Jones asks. Perhaps Joyce Watson, who also represents him, could write to him and let him know, given Joyce's comments this afternoon. He went on to say: 'The landlords have refused and the bank won't lend us the money to carry out the work on a property we don't own. I'm at my wit's end and fear that, in three years' time, we could well see the end of our family farming life here. I have no objection to a polluter-pays policy, but this is going to cripple the industry if nothing has changed. The Welsh Government must consider the financial implications of these regulations on small and medium-sized farm businesses and tenant farmers as a matter of urgency.' I've heard views this afternoon, and I heard Joyce Watson's comments about hypocrisy, and I agree with Joyce: there is plenty of hypocrisy here from the Welsh Government. I was very pleased to hear Jane Dodds's views this afternoon - most of them, not all of them. It sounds like Jane is going to support this motion as well today, which I very much welcome. A lot of what Jane said was very well put together, I thought. But what Jane did say, talking about us as Welsh Conservatives, is that we have to use our voices to persuade our colleagues in Westminster on X, Y and Z. Well, I say this gently to Jane: it is a great shame that Jane could not use her voice to persuade the only Liberal Democrat Member here to vote against the repealing of the regulations at the back end of the last Senedd. These views are not simply politically motivated; it's not simply a politically motivated debate this afternoon, as some Members may want to suggest. This is real life. So, I hope that the Government and Members will support our motion, and I firmly hope that this takes us down a road to the process of repealing these terrible, terrible regulations. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi cymryd rhan mewn dadleuon yn y gorffennol ar y ffordd y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cyflwyno parth perygl nitradau, felly rwy'n mynd i ddefnyddio fy amser heddiw i raddau helaeth i dynnu sylw at drafferthion ac enghraifft un teulu ffermio penodol a sut y bydd y rheoliadau hyn yn effeithio arnynt hwy. Ond er eglurder, rwy'n ailadrodd fy marn hirsefydlog na ddylai'r rheoliadau hyn erioed fod wedi'u cyflwyno; maent yn ddiangen, yn anghymesur ac yn ddinistriol i'r diwydiant ffermio. Mae cynnig y Ceidwadwyr wedi'i gyflwyno gan fy nghyd-Aelod James Evans, ac fel y nododd Llyr, ni fydd y cynnig hwn heddiw yn dileu'r rheoliadau hynny, ond rwy'n gobeithio'n fawr y bydd cefnogaeth yn y Siambr hon y prynhawn yma i ddechrau proses a allai arwain yn y pen draw at ddileu a diddymu'r rheoliadau gwarthus hyn. Hoffwn dynnu sylw at drafferthion un teulu o denantiaid fferm yn fy etholaeth fy hun: Brian Jones, ei wraig, Susan, a'i fab, Andrew. Fel ffermwyr Coed y Parc yng Nghaersŵs, fferm laswelltir 105 erw, sy'n gartref i fuches odro gaeedig o 85 o wartheg, maent wedi bod yn ffermio yno ers 1973 ar gytundeb tenantiaeth gydol oes. Mae Brian Jones wedi rhoi rhai sylwadau at ei gilydd ac rwy'n mynd i ddarllen yr hyn y mae wedi'i ddweud. Dyma ei eiriau: 'Rwyf wedi bod yn godro gwartheg ar hyd fy oes, gan ddechrau o'r adeg pan oeddwn ond yn 12 oed, ac eleni byddaf wedi bod yn ffermio llaeth ers 66 o flynyddoedd. Dyma a wnawn fel teulu. Dyma yw ein bywyd. Nid ydym erioed wedi cael digwyddiad llygredd yma.' Dywedaf hynny eto. Gan rywun sydd wedi bod yn ffermio ar y fferm honno ers 66 mlynedd - gobeithio bod Joyce Watson yn gwrando hefyd - 'nid ydym erioed wedi cael digwyddiad llygredd yma.' Aiff ymlaen i ddweud: 'Mae CNC, drwy eu hasesiad eu hunain, wedi cadarnhau nad oes llygredd yma, ond mae'n dal i fod angen i ni gydymffurfio â'r rheoliadau newydd hyn a gwneud gwaith am gost enfawr o tua £70,000.' 'Pwy sy'n mynd i dalu am hynny?', gofynna Mr Jones. Efallai y gallai Joyce Watson, sydd hefyd yn ei gynrychioli, ysgrifennu ato a rhoi gwybod iddo, o ystyried sylwadau Joyce y prynhawn yma. Aeth ymlaen i ddweud: 'Mae'r landlordiaid wedi gwrthod ac nid yw'r banc am roi benthyg yr arian i ni i wneud y gwaith ar eiddo nad ydym yn berchen arno. Rwyf ar ben fy nhennyn ac yn ofni, ymhen tair blynedd, y gallem yn hawdd weld diwedd ar ein bywyd fel fferm deuluol yma. Nid oes gennyf wrthwynebiad i bolisi sy'n gwneud i'r llygrwr dalu, ond mae hyn yn mynd i andwyo'r diwydiant os nad oes dim yn newid. Rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru ystyried goblygiadau ariannol y rheoliadau hyn ar fusnesau fferm bach a chanolig a ffermwyr tenant fel mater o frys.' Rwyf wedi clywed safbwyntiau y prynhawn yma, a chlywais sylwadau Joyce Watson am ragrith, ac rwy'n cytuno gyda Joyce: mae digon o ragrith yma gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o glywed safbwyntiau Jane Dodds y prynhawn yma - y rhan fwyaf ohonynt, nid pob un ohonynt. Mae'n swnio fel pe bai Jane yn mynd i gefnogi'r cynnig hwn heddiw hefyd, ac rwy'n croesawu hynny'n fawr. Roedd llawer o'r hyn a ddywedodd Jane wedi'i roi at ei gilydd yn dda iawn yn fy marn i. Ond yr hyn a ddywedodd Jane, wrth sôn amdanom ni fel Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, yw bod yn rhaid inni ddefnyddio ein lleisiau i berswadio ein cymheiriaid yn San Steffan ar X, Y a Z. Wel, rwy'n dweud hyn yn garedig wrth Jane: mae'n drueni mawr na allai Jane ddefnyddio ei llais i berswadio'r unig Aelod o'r Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol yma i bleidleisio yn erbyn diddymu'r rheoliadau ar ddiwedd y Senedd ddiwethaf. Nid cymhelliad gwleidyddol syml sydd wrth wraidd y safbwyntiau hyn; nid dadl wleidyddol syml yw hon y prynhawn yma, fel y mae rhai Aelodau'n awgrymu. Bywyd go iawn yw hyn. Felly, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd y Llywodraeth a'r Aelodau'n cefnogi ein cynnig, ac rwy'n gobeithio'n fawr y bydd hyn yn mynd â ni ar y llwybr tuag at broses i ddiddymu'r rheoliadau ofnadwy hyn. Diolch yn fawr, Ddirprwy Lywydd.
