English: I thank the Member for that important question on behalf of his constituents, and he raises matters that affect the daily lives of his constituents, as they do mine and others in the Chamber. He's absolutely right to say that his constituency and, indeed, mine and others will have benefited significantly from some of those programmes, and he is right to articulate his disappointment about the UK Government's failure to live up to its promises to make sure that Wales continues to have that funding, and that people in Wales get to make the decisions for Wales, which is the guiding principle of devolution and a promise that the UK Government should be living up to. We know from their recent moves in Parliament that they're seeking to undermine that, looking for powers to spend money in Wales where the Welsh Government could spend that better on behalf of the people of Wales. His constituents will have lost out by virtue of the fact that the UK Government has failed to live up to its existing financial responsibilities, whether that's to do with the rail network, whether it's to do with the energy system or digital connectivity - all of those things are massively underfunded and they're responsibilities of the UK Government. What we are seeking to do is to make the case that the UK Government should keep its promises in relation to this so that we can continue to support communities like Blaenau Gwent with future programmes, but also, as he will have seen in the document published yesterday, to seek to stimulate the economy for the benefit of all parts of Wales, including Blaenau Gwent, from investment in schools, in road maintenance, in health infrastructure, in care infrastructure, in housing and in energy upgrades. All of those are designed to stimulate the economy, to help people keep work and to get new work, and that is at the heart of the challenge that the Government will be setting its sights on addressing over the coming months.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn pwysig ar ran ei etholwyr, ac mae'n codi materion sy'n effeithio ar fywydau bob dydd ei etholwyr fel y maent yn effeithio ar fy mywyd innau a bywydau eraill yn y Siambr. Mae'n llygad ei le wrth ddweud y bydd ei etholaeth, ac yn wir, fy etholaeth i ac etholaethau eraill, wedi elwa'n sylweddol o rai o'r rhaglenni hynny, ac mae'n iawn i fynegi ei siom ynghylch methiant Llywodraeth y DU i gyflawni ei haddewidion i sicrhau bod Cymru'n parhau i gael y cyllid hwnnw, a bod pobl yng Nghymru yn cael gwneud y penderfyniadau dros Gymru, sef egwyddor arweiniol datganoli ac addewid y dylai Llywodraeth y DU fod yn cadw ato. Gwyddom o'u camau diweddar yn Senedd y DU eu bod yn ceisio tanseilio hynny, wrth iddynt edrych am bwerau i wario arian yng Nghymru lle gallai Llywodraeth Cymru wario'r arian hwnnw'n well ar ran pobl Cymru. Bydd ei etholwyr ar eu colled yn rhinwedd y ffaith bod Llywodraeth y DU wedi methu cyflawni ei chyfrifoldebau ariannol presennol, boed mewn perthynas â rhwydwaith y rheilffyrdd, boed yn ymwneud â'r system ynni neu gysylltedd digidol - mae pob un o'r rheini'n bethau sy'n cael eu tanariannu'n aruthrol, ac maent yn gyfrifoldebau i Lywodraeth y DU. Yr hyn rydym yn ceisio'i wneud yw dadlau'r achos y dylai Llywodraeth y DU gadw ei haddewidion mewn perthynas â hyn fel y gallwn barhau i gefnogi cymunedau fel Blaenau Gwent gyda rhaglenni yn y dyfodol, ond hefyd, fel y bydd wedi'i weld yn y ddogfen a gyhoeddwyd ddoe, i geisio ysgogi'r economi er budd pob rhan o Gymru, gan gynnwys Blaenau Gwent, o fuddsoddi mewn ysgolion, yn y gwaith o gynnal a chadw ffyrdd, yn y seilwaith iechyd, y seilwaith gofal, mewn tai ac mewn gwaith uwchraddio ynni. Mae pob un o'r rheini wedi'u cynllunio i ysgogi'r economi, i helpu pobl i gadw swyddi ac i ddod o hyd i swyddi newydd, ac mae hynny'n ganolog i'r her y bydd y Llywodraeth yn ceisio mynd i'r afael â hi dros y misoedd nesaf.
