English: A small number of cases, we hear from the Minister, but we are hearing increasing concerns about this. We heard about that earlier on today. Local families and farmers have no hope of competing. We've seen in the past what happens when land is lost, socially, economically, culturally and linguistically. We think about Epynt and Tryweryn and the huge forestry plans of the last century. The Farmers Union of Wales say that they've received reports of this happening in every county in Wales, on an area of land equivalent to possibly 20 family farms. In response to an earlier question, the Minister said that she also shares the concerns, as we heard just now, and that she had invited farming unions to provide her with additional evidence. 'Much of what we hear is anecdotal', she said. She asked another Member to provide more evidence that Welsh Government grants are being paid to speculators. I'm sorry, but it's the job of Government to do this work of gathering data and gathering evidence. It's the Minister's job to find that evidence and get to the bottom of this issue. So, will she commit to trying to understand exactly is happening, so that we have robust data as a matter of urgency? Rather than saying that she is concerned about the thing, will she push for changes to the planning system to safeguard against the impact of these tree planting schemes, and consider urgently changing the eligibility criteria for schemes such as Glastir Woodland Creation, so that it's only those who farm in Wales who can make bids and not speculators who are trying to derive maximum benefit from the situation?
Welsh: Nifer fach o achosion, meddai'r Gweinidog. Rydyn ni'n clywed pryderon cynyddol am hyn. Rydyn ni wedi clywed am hynny'n gynharach. Nid oes gan ffermwyr na theuluoedd lleol dim gobaith cystadlu. Rydyn ni wedi gweld yn y gorffennol beth sy'n digwydd pan fydd tir yn cael ei golli yn gymdeithasol, yn economaidd, yn ddiwylliannol, yn ieithyddol. Rydyn ni'n meddwl am Epynt a Thryweryn, cynlluniau fforestydd mawr y ganrif ddiwethaf. Rŵan, mae Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru yn dweud eu bod nhw wedi derbyn adroddiadau am hyn yn digwydd ym mhob sir yng Nghymru, ar draws ardal sy'n cyfateb, o bosibl, i 20 fferm deuluol. Mewn ateb i gwestiwn cynharach, mi ddywedodd y Gweinidog ei bod hi hefyd yn rhannu'r pryderon, fel y clywsom ni fanna rŵan, ond ei bod hi wedi gwahodd undebau amaeth i roi mwy o dystiolaeth iddi hi. 'Anecdotaidd ydy llawer o beth rŷn ni'n ei glywed', meddai hi. Mi ofynnodd hi i Aelod arall ddarparu mwy o dystiolaeth bod grantiau Llywodraeth Cymru yn cael eu talu i speculators. Mae'n ddrwg gen i, ond gwaith y Llywodraeth ydy gwneud y gwaith yna o gasglu data a chasglu tystiolaeth. Gwaith y Gweinidog ydy dod o hyd i'r dystiolaeth a mynd at waelod y mater. Felly, a wnaiff hi ymrwymo i drio deall yn union beth sydd yn digwydd, fel bod data cadarn gennym ni ar frys? A wnaiff hi, yn hytrach na dim ond dweud ei bod hi yn bryderus am y peth, wthio am newidiadau i'r system gynllunio i warchod rhag impact cynlluniau plannu coed o'r math yma, ac ystyried ar frys newid y rheolau cymhwyso ar gyfer cynlluniau fel Creu Coetir Glastir, fel mai dim ond rhai sy'n ffermio yng Nghymru sy'n gallu gwneud cais, ac nid speculators sy'n trio manteisio i'r eithaf ar y sefyllfa?
