English: Minister, I agree with many of the comments that have already been made, and I won't repeat those. Can I just put on record, firstly, that I recognise that the taxi service, particularly in the Valleys, has made such an important contribution to dealing with the COVID pandemic, in getting, for example, NHS staff to work in areas where bus services are poor in any event? I think it's important that that's recognised - and very much the comment that Alun Davies made about the taxi service being a really important part of an integrated transport service. The point he made about operational boundaries is important, particularly, for example, to Valleys communities, because to some extent the oversupply, as you mentioned, in places like Cardiff actually undermines the development of a taxi service in some of the Valleys communities, because taxi drivers are forced to go to one area and undermine the economic basis on which the taxi service can actually be supplied. There are two aspects to standards and safety. One standard, obviously, involves training as well. Safety is for passengers, but it is also for taxi drivers, many of whom experience assaults during the course of their work. If there were other public sector workers who had that level of assault, we would be taking it as a very serious issue. So, I think that it's about recognising that situation and the role. One of the issues that the taxi companies have raised with me is the issue of the number of plates and the need for a cap on plates to ensure that there isn't an oversupply. That obviously overlaps with the boundaries issue as well. Can I then also raise the issue of -
Welsh: Gweinidog, cytunaf â llawer o'r sylwadau sydd eisoes wedi'u gwneud, ac nid ailadroddaf y rheini. A gaf i ddweud ar goedd, yn gyntaf, fy mod yn cydnabod bod y gwasanaeth tacsis, yn enwedig yn y Cymoedd, wedi gwneud cyfraniad mor bwysig wrth ymdrin â phandemig COVID, wrth gludo, er enghraifft, staff y GIG i'r gwaith mewn ardaloedd lle mae gwasanaethau bysiau'n wael beth bynnag? Rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig cydnabod hynny - a'r sylw a wnaeth Alun Davies am y gwasanaeth tacsis yn rhan bwysig iawn o wasanaeth trafnidiaeth integredig. Mae'r pwynt a wnaeth am ffiniau gweithredu yn bwysig, yn enwedig, er enghraifft, i gymunedau'r Cymoedd, oherwydd i ryw raddau mae'r gorgyflenwad, fel y gwnaethoch chi grybwyll, mewn lleoedd fel Caerdydd mewn gwirionedd yn tanseilio datblygiad gwasanaeth tacsis yn rhai o gymunedau'r Cymoedd, oherwydd gorfodir gyrwyr tacsis i fynd i un ardal a thanseilio'r sail economaidd y mae'r gallu i ddarparu'r gwasanaeth tacsis wedi ei seilio arni mewn gwirionedd. Mae dwy agwedd ar safonau a diogelwch. Mae un safon, yn amlwg, yn cynnwys hyfforddiant hefyd. Mae diogelwch ar gyfer teithwyr, ond mae hefyd ar gyfer gyrwyr tacsis, y mae llawer ohonyn nhw'n dioddef ymosodiadau yn ystod eu gwaith. Pe bai gweithwyr eraill yn y sector cyhoeddus yn profi ymosodiadau i'r fath raddau, byddem yn ei ystyried yn fater difrifol iawn. Felly, rwy'n credu ei fod yn ymwneud â chydnabod y sefyllfa honno a'r swyddogaeth. Un o'r materion y mae'r cwmnïau tacsis wedi'i godi gyda mi yw nifer y platiau a'r angen i roi cap ar blatiau i sicrhau nad oes gorgyflenwad. Mae hynny'n amlwg yn gorgyffwrdd â'r mater ffiniau hefyd. A gaf i wedyn godi mater -
