English: Yes, thank you. I did mention earlier, Delyth, how important the funding provided by Welsh Government was at the very outset - the voluntary sector emergency fund that supported this work - because it's likely that much of this good work wouldn't have happened without that additional resource. But I do think that what's important, as we move forward and now that there has been so much work done on this - . As I mentioned earlier, for me, it's extremely important that we properly evaluate what worked, where investment has worked best, so that we can reinvest in those places where the return is greatest, and we don't continue to invest in areas that perhaps aren't making a huge amount of difference. So, we do need some sort of evaluation of the emergency fund and we need to invest in the future based on those findings. Those would be my comments in terms of the emergency fund particularly. But, certainly, without Welsh Government support much of this work couldn't have happened.
Welsh: Ie, diolch. Roeddwn i wedi sôn yn gynharach, Delyth, mor bwysig oedd yr arian ddaeth o Lywodraeth Cymru reit ar y cychwyn - y gronfa argyfwng - i gefnogi'r gwaith yma. Mae'n go debyg buasai lot o'r gwaith da yma heb ddigwydd heb yr adnodd ychwanegol yna. Ond dwi yn credu mai beth sy'n bwysig, wrth inni symud ymlaen a bod yna gymaint o waith wedi cael ei wneud rwan - . Fel roeddwn i'n sôn gynnau, i mi, mae'n hynod o bwysig i werthuso yn iawn beth sydd wedi gweithio, yn lle mae'r buddsoddi wedi gweithio orau, fel ein bod ni yn gallu ail-fuddsoddi yn y llefydd rydym ni'n cael y return gorau am y buddsoddiad, a nad ydyn ni ddim yn parhau i fuddsoddi efallai mewn llefydd sydd ddim yn gwneud lot o wahaniaeth. Felly, mae eisiau rhyw fath o werthusiad o'r gronfa argyfwng a, wyddoch chi, mae eisiau buddsoddi yn y dyfodol yn seiliedig ar y canfyddiadau yma. Dyna beth fuaswn i'n ei ddweud o ran y gronfa argyfwng yn arbennig. Ond, yn sicr, heb gefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru fuasai llawer o'r gwaith yma ddim wedi medru digwydd.
English: Welcome, everyone, to the Finance Committee at the Senedd. And in accordance with Standing Order 34.19, I have determined that the public are excluded from the committee's meeting in order to protect public health. And in accordance with Standing Order 34.21, notice of this decision was included in the agenda for this meeting. This meeting is being broadcast live on Senedd.tv and the Record of Proceedings will be published as usual. Aside from the procedural adaptation relating to conducting proceedings remotely, all other Standing Order requirements for committees remain in place. Could I ask, therefore, whether Members have any interests to declare? No. Fine. And I'll note also that if, for any reason, I lose my connection, the committee has previously agreed, in accordance with Standing Order 17.22, that Siân Gwenllian will temporarily chair while I try to rejoin the meeting. We've had one apology from Mark Reckless, and I will also note that Mark will rejoin the committee, and we look forward to his contribution to the committee's work in the months remaining of this Senedd. Mike Hedges is having some technical difficulties, but we hope that he'll be able to join us in due course.
Welsh: Croeso i chi gyd i Bwyllgor Cyllid Senedd Cymru. Ac yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 34.19, dwi wedi penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o gyfarfod y pwyllgor er mwyn diogelu iechyd y cyhoedd, ac yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 34.21, cafodd rhybudd o'r penderfyniad hwn ei gynnwys yn agenda'r cyfarfod hwn. Mae'r cyfarfod, wrth gwrs, yn cael ei ddarlledu'n fyw ar Senedd.tv a bydd Cofnod y Trafodion ar gael ac yn cael ei gyhoeddi fel arfer. Ar wahân i'r addasiad gweithdrefnol sy'n ymwneud â chynnal trafodion o bell, mae holl ofynion eraill y Rheolau Sefydlog ar gyfer y pwyllgorau yn parhau. Gaf i ofyn, felly, a oes gan unrhyw Aelod fuddiannau i'w datgan? Nag oes. Iawn. Ac mi wnaf nodi hefyd, er gwybodaeth, os y byddwn ni'n colli cysylltiad am unrhyw reswm, fod y pwyllgor wedi cytuno cyn heddiw, yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.22, mai Siân Gwenllian fydd yn cadeirio dros dro wrth i fi geisio ailymuno â'r cyfarfod. Rŷn ni wedi derbyn un ymddiheuriad gan Mark Reckless, ac mi wnaf nodi hefyd y bydd Mark yn ailymuno â'r pwyllgor, ac rŷn ni'n edrych ymlaen i'w gyfraniad e i waith y pwyllgor yn y misoedd sydd ar ôl o'r Senedd yma. Mae Mike Hedges hefyd yn cael rhai trafferthion technegol. Rŷn ni'n gobeithio y bydd e'n gallu ymuno â ni yng nghwrs y cyfarfod yma.
English: We move on, therefore, to the second item on the agenda. There are papers to note. And could I invite Members to note the following? The first paper is a letter from the Minister for Finance and Trefnydd, an update on the budget timetable for the Welsh Government's budget 2021-22. The second paper to note is the Commission's response to the Finance Committee's report on the Senedd Commission's draft budget for next year. And, of course, there will be a debate in the Senedd on that on Wednesday. Happy to note those? Thank you very much.
Welsh: Ymlaen â ni at yr ail eitem, felly, ar yr agenda. Mae yna rai papurau i'w nodi. Ac a gaf wahodd Aelodau i nodi'r canlynol? Y papur cyntaf yn lythyr gan y Gweinidog Cyllid a'r Trefnydd, sy'n rhoi diweddariad ar amserlen y gyllideb ar gyfer cyllideb Llywodraeth Cymru 2021-22. Yr ail bapur i'w nodi yw ymateb y Comisiwn i adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cyllid ar gyllideb ddrafft Comisiwn y Senedd ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf. Ac, wrth gwrs, mi fydd dadl yn y Senedd ar hwnnw ddydd Mercher yma. Ydych chi'n hapus i nodi'r rheini? Diolch yn fawr.
English: Fine. We'll move on to item 3, therefore, to continue our inquiry into the implementation of the Wales Act 2014, and the operation of the fiscal framework. And I welcome, this afternoon, Professor Gerry Holtham. Welcome. He is the Hodge professor of regional economy at Cardiff Metropolitan University. We'll go straight into questions if that's okay with you with you, and I'll start by asking, very simply, whether the tax policy of the Welsh Government has followed the principles that they set out for themselves, namely to provide taxes that are fair and stable, and that are simple to understand.
Welsh: Iawn. Ymlaen â ni felly at y drydydd eitem, ac i barhau â'n ymchwiliad ni i roi Deddf Cymru 2014 ar waith a gweithredu'r fframwaith cyllidol. A dwi'n croesawu atom ni y prynhawn yma yr Athro Gerald Holtham - croeso - sydd, wrth gwrs, yn athro gwadd economeg ranbarthol Hodge, Prifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd. Mi awn ni yn syth i gwestiynau os ydy hynny yn iawn gyda chi, ac mi wnaf i gychwyn drwy ofyn yn syml iawn os ydy polisi treth Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dilyn yr egwyddorion gwnaethon nhw osod allan iddyn nhw eu hunain, sef, wrth gwrs, i ddarparu trethi teg a sefydlog, sy'n syml i'w deall.
English: Thank you very much. Turning my attention now to the borrowing powers of the Welsh Government, in your opinion, should the borrowing limits be linked to revenue-raising powers, and what would be a fair limit?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Trof ein sylw at bwerau benthyca Llywodraeth Cymru. Yn eich barn chi, a ddylai'r terfynau benthyca gael eu cysylltu â phwerau codi refeniw, a beth fyddai'n derfyn teg?
English: But on the basis of specific principles, as you said, some kind of formula behind the limit, for it to be set in a specific way.
Welsh: Ond ar sail egwyddorion penodol, mewn ffordd, fel rydych chi'n ddweud, rhyw fath o fformiwla tu ôl i'r terfyn, iddo fo gael ei osod mewn ffordd benodol, felly.
English: How likely are we to be able to develop some kind of mechanism that allows this discussion to proceed?
Welsh: Pa mor debygol ydyn ni o fedru datblygu rhyw fath o fecanwaith sydd yn galluogi'r drafodaeth yma i fynd yn ei blaen?
English: Sorry to interrupt, Siân. I think Mike wants to come in on this point before we proceed.
Welsh: Sori i dorri ar draws, Siân. Dwi'n meddwl bod Mike eisiau dod i mewn ar y pwynt yma cyn i ni fynd ymlaen.
English: Your opinion, please, on the Wales reserve and the way that that has been run, and the terms in terms of switching between capital and revenue.
Welsh: Eich barn chi, os gwelwch yn dda, am gronfa wrth gefn Cymru, a'r ffordd mae honno'n cael ei rhedeg, a'r telerau sydd ynghylch symud rhwng cronfeydd cyfalaf a refeniw.
English: And, of course, as Alun Davies mentioned, COVID has cast some new light on a problem that we have known has existed for a while, hasn't it?
Welsh: Ac, wrth gwrs, fel oedd Alun Davies yn sôn, mae COVID wedi lluchio goleuni newydd ar broblem rydyn ni'n gwybod sydd yn bodoli ers tro, onid ydy?
English: Welcome back to the Finance Committee of the Senedd. We move on now to the fourth item on our agenda, which is to continue with our inquiry into the implementation of the Wales Act 2014 and the operation of the fiscal framework. Joining us for this evidence session is Ruth Stanier from HM Revenue and Customs, who is the director-general of customer strategy and tax design, and also Jackie McGeehan, deputy director of income tax policy, again with HM Revenue and Customs - a warm welcome to both of you this afternoon. I'll start with the first question, and quite a simple question: could you give us quite a brief summary of the role that you have in supporting fiscal devolution in Wales and how have you worked with the Welsh Government to implement Welsh rates of income tax?
Welsh: Croeso nôl i Bwyllgor Cyllid Senedd Cymru. Dŷn ni'n symud at y bedwaredd eitem ar ein hagenda ni heddiw, sef i barhau, wrth gwrs, â'r ymchwiliad i roi Deddf Cymru 2014 ar waith a'r fframwaith cyllidol. Yn ymuno â ni ar gyfer y sesiwn dystiolaeth ddiweddaraf yma mae Ruth Stanier o Gyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhydi, sy'n gyfarwyddwr cyffredinol strategaeth cwsmeriaid a llunio trethi, a hefyd Jackie McGeehan, sy'n ddirprwy gyfarwyddwr polisi treth incwm, eto gyda Chyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhydi - croeso cynnes i'r ddwy ohonoch chi atom ni'r prynhawn yma. Fe wnaf i gychwyn gyda chwestiwn weddol syml, a jest gofyn i chi roi trosolwg bach i ni yn weddol sydyn ac yn weddol gryno o'r rôl sydd gennych chi yn cefnogi datganoli cyllidol yng Nghymru a sut dŷch chi wedi gweithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru i weithredu cyfrraddau treth incwm Cymru.
English: Thank you very much. I have questions on the data. The memorandum of understanding imposes on you the need to look for ways of sharing timely data with the Welsh Government, specifically in order to support the work of policy development. So, what discussions have taken place, and what is being proposed as data for the Welsh Government?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Cwestiynau ynglŷn â'r data, ac mi oedd y memorandwm cyd-ddealltwriaeth yn rhoi arnoch chi yr angen i chwilio am ffyrdd o rannu data amserol efo Llywodraeth Cymru, yn benodol er mwyn cefnogi gwaith datblygu polisi. So, pa drafodaethau sydd wedi digwydd, a beth sydd yn cael ei gynnig fel data i Lywodraeth Cymru?
English: Thank you very much. And looking to the future, how much more data are you going to be able to share with the Welsh Government, and, specifically, data on tax paid through self assessment? Is there anything that we can do to obtain that data in order to get the full picture?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Ac yn edrych i'r dyfodol, faint mwy o ddata ydych chi'n mynd i fedru rhannu efo Llywodraeth Cymru, ac, yn benodol, y data ar dreth sy'n cael ei dalu drwy hunanasesiad? Oes yna unrhyw beth rydym ni'n gallu ei wneud er mwyn cael y data yna er mwyn cael y darlun cyflawn?
English: Thank you very much. We move on now to Alun Davies.
Welsh: Iawn, diolch yn fawr. Ymlaen â ni at Alun Davies.
English: Thank you very much. Your answers have been very full this afternoon and have covered nearly everything that I have an interest in. The only question that I have at present is about the costs, and the costs that you have incurred in terms of administering and managing this work. You have said that you've given a high-level analysis to the Welsh Government on those costs, and I would appreciate it if you could analyse that for us very briefly this afternoon and tell us how you think the costs, the analysis that you have, reflect the work that you do and your expectations.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr i chi. Mae eich atebion wedi bod yn llawn iawn y prynhawn yma, felly mae wedi cyfro bron bob dim roedd gen i ddiddordeb ynddo fe. Yr unig gwestiwn sydd gen i ar hyn o bryd yw amboutu'r costau, a'r costau dŷch chi wedi'u cael wrth weinyddu a rheoli'r gwaith yma. Dŷch chi wedi dweud eich bod chi wedi rhoi dadansoddiad lefel uchel i Lywodraeth Cymru ar y costau yma, a mi fuaswn i'n gwerthfawrogi fe petaech chi'n gallu jest dadansoddi hynny inni yn fras y prynhawn yma a sut ydych chi'n meddwl bod y costau, y dadansoddiad gyda chi, yn adlewyrchu'r gwaith dŷch chi'n ei wneud ac eich disgwyliadau.
English: Thank you, Alun. Do any Members have any further questions, or are you happy with what we've heard? I don't see anyone making any signs that they want to. I'd like to thank the witnesses for joining us this afternoon and you will, of course, receive a copy of the transcript, a draft copy, in order to ensure that it's accurate.
Welsh: Diolch, Alun. Oes gan Aelodau unrhyw gwestiynau pellach, neu ydyn ni'n hapus gyda beth ydyn ni wedi'i glywed? Dwi ddim yn gweld neb yn awyddus i holi ymhellach. A gaf i ddiolch, felly, i Ruth ac i Jackie am ymuno â ni y prynhawn yma? Mi fyddwch chi wrth gwrs yn cael copi o'r trawsgrifiad, copi drafft, er mwyn sicrhau ei fod e'n gywir.
English: And with that, we will therefore move into private session. So I propose in accordance with Standing Order 17.42 (ix) that the committee resolves to exclude the public from items 6, 7, 8, and 10. Are Members content? I see that all Members are content. We have accepted the motion. We'll be back in public session at 5 o'clock, but Members will remain for us to discuss other matters. Thank you very much.
Welsh: A gyda hynny, mi fyddwn ni felly yn symud i mewn i sesiwn breifat. Felly, yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 17.42 (ix), dwi'n cynnig bod y pwyllgor yma yn penderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd rhag eitemau 6, 7, 8 a 10. Ydy Aelodau yn fodlon â hynny? Dwi'n gweld bod pawb yn fodlon. Dyna ni. Rydyn ni wedi derbyn y cynnig. Mi fyddwn ni nôl mewn sesiwn gyhoeddus am 5 o'r gloch, ond mae Aelodau wrth gwrs yn aros er mwyn inni drafod materion eraill yn y cyfamser. Diolch yn fawr.
English: Welcome back to the Finance Committee at the Senedd. We're moving on now to the ninth item on the agenda this afternoon, and I extend a warm to the witnesses who are with us to continue with our inquiry into the implementation of the Wales Act 2014 and the operation of the fiscal framework. Joining us for the next 40, 45, minutes are Gareth Davies, Comptroller and Auditor General at the National Audit Office - welcome to you. And joining you are Darren Stewart, who is a director, and Lee Summerfield, who's also a director, and Ben Rodin, audit manager, also with the National Audit Office. I welcome the four of you, and we'll go straight into questions, and I will ask Gareth, at the outset, if you could give us a brief overview of your role in auditing the administration of Welsh rates of income tax here in Wales.
Welsh: Croeso'n ôl i Bwyllgor Cyllid Senedd Cymru. Dŷn ni'n symud ymlaen at y nawfed eitem ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma. Dwi'n estyn croeso cynnes i'r tystion sydd ger ein bron ni i barhau â'r ymchwiliad i roi Deddf Cymru 2014 ar waith a gweithredu'r fframwaith cyllidol. Ac yn ymuno â ni ar gyfer y deugain munud, tri chwarter awr, nesaf mae Gareth Davies, Rheolwr ac Archwilydd Cyffredinol y Swyddfa Archwilio Genedlaethol - croeso i chi. Ac yn ymuno â chi mae Darren Stewart, sy'n gyfarwyddwr, Lee Summerfield, hefyd yn gyfarwyddwr, a Ben Rodin, rheolwr archwilio, eto gydag, wrth gwrs, y Swyddfa Archwilio Genedlaethol. Croeso i'r pedwar ohonoch chi. Fe awn ni'n syth i mewn i gwestiynau, ac fe wnaf i ofyn, efallai, i Gareth, i gychwyn, os wnewch chi roi ryw drosolwg fach gweddol gryno inni'n egluro'ch rôl chi wrth archwilio gweinyddu cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru yma yng Nghymru.
English: Well, we'd be very grateful to have you back when it's time to do that. Could I ask you, therefore, just to summarise, generally, the progress that's been made in terms of administering WRIT, and could you tell us how effective the HMRC WRIT project was in preparing for its implementation?
Welsh: Wel, bydden ni'n ddiolchgar iawn i'ch cael chi'n ôl, dwi'n siŵr, pan fydd amser yn iawn i wneud hynny. Gaf i ofyn ichi, felly, jest i grynhoi, yn gyffredinol, y cynnydd sydd wedi cael ei wneud o ran gweinyddu cyfraddau treth incwm yng Nghymru, a pha mor effeithiol, efallai, oedd y prosiect cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru Cyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhydi wrth baratoi ar gyfer eu gweithredu nhw yma yng Nghymru?
English: I know that Members will be eager to pursue that. We'll go to Alun Davies first.
Welsh: Dwi'n gwybod y bydd Aelodau'n awyddus i fynd ar ôl hynny mewn munud. Mi awn ymlaen, yn gyntaf, at Alun Davies.
English: Thank you, Chair. As you've mentioned at the outset, one of the main challenges for HMRC is identifying the population of Welsh taxpayers - those who pay the Welsh rates of income tax. How is this working by now? Is the system robust, do you think, with HMRC? Is the record accurate?
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd. Fel rydych chi wedi sôn ar y cychwyn, un o'r prif heriau i Gyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhydi ydy gweinyddu'r boblogaeth o drethdalwyr Cymreig - y rhai sydd yn talu cyfraddau treth incwm Cymru. Sut mae hyn yn gweithio, erbyn hyn? Ydy'r system yn gadarn, ydych chi'n meddwl, gan Gyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhydi? Ydy'r cofnod yn gywir?
English: Would you say, therefore, that it's not the presence of the border that's the problem but rather the fact that employers aren't recording the correct information about where people who work for them live? Is that the problem - not the border itself, but the fact that the employers don't know how to correctly identify the people working for them?
Welsh: Fyddech chi'n dweud, felly, nad presenoldeb y ffin ydy'r broblem ond yn hytrach y ffaith bod cyflogwyr ddim yn nodi'r wybodaeth yn gywir ynglŷn â man byw pobl sy'n gweithio iddyn nhw, efallai, a bod y gwaith dros y ffin? Ai yn y fanna mae'r broblem yn codi - nid y ffin ei hun, ond y ffaith bod cyflogwyr ddim yn siŵr iawn lle i osod y bobl sy'n gweithio iddyn nhw?
English: Yes, okay, thank you very much. I understand the nature of the problem better now. Just in terms of informing Welsh taxpayers about the situation with WRIT, that was done back in November 2018, but that was a one-off process. How is HMRC communicating with taxpayers who have migrated to Wales after that date to ensure that they know about the tax system in Wales?
Welsh: Ie, ocê, diolch yn fawr. Dwi'n deall natur y broblem yn well, rŵan. Jest o ran rhoi gwybod i drethdalwyr Cymreig am y sefyllfa efo treth Cymru, mi wnaethpwyd hynny, wrth gwrs, yn ôl yn Nhachwedd 2018, ond rhyw fath o broses untro oedd hynny. Sut mae Cyllid a Thollau EM yn cyfathrebu efo trethdalwyr sydd wedi symud i Gymru ar ôl y dyddiad yna i wneud yn siŵr eu bod nhw'n gwybod am y system dreth yng Nghymru?
English: Thank you, Siân. One point that was made earlier in evidence today, and I think Darren suggested that you had listened to that and maybe you heard Professor Gerry Holtham in our first session this afternoon saying that, in truth, there is no incentive for HMRC to get this right, and where there is incentive, it's not strong enough. It makes no difference to them whether they deal with coding errors for 3 per cent of taxpayers or 10 per cent. Do you have an opinion on that, or on how we could create a more robust incentive, if you think that's appropriate?
Welsh: Diolch, Siân. Un pwynt a wnaethpwyd yn gynharach mewn tystiolaeth heddiw, a dwi'n meddwl bod Darren wedi awgrymu eich bod chi wedi gwrando ac efallai eich bod chi wedi clywed yr Athro Gerry Holtham yn y sesiwn gyntaf wnaethon ni'r prynhawn yma, yn dweud, mewn gwirionedd, does yna ddim cymhelliad i Gyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhydi i gael hwn yn iawn, a lle mae'r cymhelliad, dyw e ddim yn ddigon cryf fel cymhelliad. Hynny yw, does dim gwahaniaeth iddyn nhw os ydyn nhw'n delio â chamgymeriadau codio ymhlith 3 y cant o drethdalwyr neu 10 y cant. Oes gyda chi farn ynglŷn â hynny, neu ryw syniad ynglŷn â sut, efallai, y byddem ni'n gallu creu cymhelliad mwy cadarn, os ydy hynny, yn wir, yn addas?
English: Welcome to this Plenary meeting. Before we begin, I want to set out a few points. This meeting will be held in hybrid format, with some Members in the Senedd Chamber and others joining by video-conference. All Members participating in Senedd proceedings, wherever they may be, will be treated equally. A Plenary meeting held using video-conference, in accordance with the Standing Orders of the Welsh Parliament, constitutes Senedd proceedings for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply for today's Plenary meeting, and these are noted on your agenda. And I would remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting, and apply equally to Members in the Chamber as to those joining virtually.
Welsh: Croeso, bawb, i'r Cyfarfod Llawn a, chyn i ni ddechrau, dwi eisiau nodi ychydig o bwyntiau. Cynhelir y cyfarfod hwn ar ffurf hybrid, gyda rhai Aelodau yn Siambr y Senedd ac eraill yn ymuno drwy gyswllt fideo. Bydd yr holl Aelodau sy'n cymryd rhan yn nhrafodion y Senedd, ble bynnag y bônt, yn cael eu trin yn gyfartal. Mae Cyfarfod Llawn a gynhelir drwy gynhadledd fideo, yn unol â Rheolau Sefydlog Senedd Cymru, yn gyfystyr â thrafodion y Senedd at ddibenion Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006. Bydd rhai o ddarpariaethau Rheol Sefydlog 34 yn gymwys ar gyfer y Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw, ac mae'r rhain wedi'u nodi ar eich agenda chi. A dwi eisiau atgoffa Aelodau fod y Rheolau Sefydlog sy'n ymwneud â threfn yn y Cyfarfod Llawn yn berthnasol i'r cyfarfod yma, ac yr un mor berthnasol i'r Aelodau sydd yn y Siambr ag i'r rhai sydd yn ymuno drwy gyswllt fideo.
English: With those few words, the first item on our agenda is questions to the First Minister, and the first question is from Delyth Jewell.
Welsh: Gyda hynny, felly, yr eitem gyntaf ar ein hagenda ni yw'r cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Delyth Jewell.
English: Llywydd, I thank Delyth Jewell for that question. Increasing the public's understanding of democracy in Wales, and throughout the world, has never been more important. I have today written to President-elect Biden to congratulate him on his victory in last week's elections in the United States. Decision making in this Senedd during the coronavirus crisis has demonstrated the significance of politics in everyone's lives in an unprecedented way.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolchaf i Delyth Jewell am y cwestiwn yna. Ni fu cynyddu dealltwriaeth y cyhoedd o ddemocratiaeth yng Nghymru, a ledled y byd, erioed yn bwysicach. Rwyf i wedi ysgrifennu heddiw at y darpar Arlywydd Biden i'w longyfarch ar ei fuddugoliaeth yn etholiadau yr wythnos diwethaf yn yr Unol Daleithiau. Mae'r broses gwneud penderfyniadau yn y Senedd hon yn ystod argyfwng coronafeirws wedi dangos arwyddocâd gwleidyddiaeth ym mywydau pawb mewn ffordd ddigynsail.
