English: Can I say at the outset that my party will be supporting this motion? The reason for this is that, as has been said before, the M4 relief road scheme is one of the biggest and most expensive projects ever undertaken by the Welsh Assembly and one of such importance that the Welsh Government itself saw fit to launch a long-lasting and exhaustive inquiry into its form and format. It therefore would seem eminently important that the whole of the Assembly should have a meaningful input into the decision made, with reference to the outcome of the inquiry. Our concerns are that if we are not allowed to engage in this way, the Government's intentions with regard to the black route will go ahead in spite of the findings of the inquiry. We cannot help but witness the agreement already reached by the Government and the ports authority with regard to the extra funding allotted to alleviate their concerns, which appear to have been entirely in relation to the planned black route. I feel it prudent to point out here that this is an M4 relief road, whatever the derogation may be. A relief road indicates that it will only truly be needed for periods of peak traffic use. I'd therefore urge the Cabinet Secretary to keep an open mind as to which of the options available shall be chosen. I know that he will bear in mind the huge cost differential between the blue and black routes. This cost differential could be used on other much-needed transport projects, and I'm sure he'll forgive me for again mentioned the appalling condition of Rover Way, which is more redolent of a country lane than that of a main artery into the country's capital. I'm sure that there are many AMs across the Chamber who would be able to make a case for other much-needed projects, some of which have been mentioned earlier by Adam Smith, or even consideration of the modal shift mentioned by Julie Rathbone - [ Interruption.] I apologise. You're not that old, Adam, I'm sure. Adam Price. I do apologise for that slip, Adam. However, I urge the Cabinet Secretary to allow this consultation and vote. After all, if things do go wrong with this huge project, the whole of the Chamber could then be held culpable.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddweud ar y cychwyn y bydd fy mhlaid yn cefnogi'r cynnig hwn? Y rheswm am hyn yw bod cynllun ffordd liniaru'r M4, fel y dywedodd yn flaenorol, yn un o'r prosiectau mwyaf a mwyaf costus a wnaed erioed gan Gynulliad Cymru ac mae'n un mor bwysig fel bod Llywodraeth Cymru ei hun wedi gweld ei bod hi'n briodol lansio ymchwiliad maith a thrwyadl ar ei ffurf a'i gynllun. Felly ymddengys ei bod yn amlwg yn bwysig y dylai'r Cynulliad cyfan gael mewnbwn ystyrlon i'r penderfyniad a wneir, gan gyfeirio at ganlyniad yr ymchwiliad. Os na chaniateir inni ymgysylltu yn y modd hwn, rydym yn pryderu y bydd bwriadau'r Llywodraeth o ran y llwybr du yn digwydd er gwaethaf canfyddiadau'r ymchwiliad. Ni allwn beidio â nodi'r cytundeb a wnaed eisoes gan y Llywodraeth a'r awdurdod porthladdoedd mewn perthynas â'r arian ychwanegol a ddyrannwyd i leddfu eu pryderon, yr ymddengys eu bod yn deillio'n gyfan gwbl o'r llwybr du arfaethedig. Teimlaf ei bod hi'n ddoeth nodi yma mai ffordd liniaru'r M4 yw hon, beth bynnag am y rhanddirymiad posibl. Mae ffordd liniaru'n dynodi na fydd ond ei hangen go iawn ar gyfer yr adegau pan fydd traffig ar ei drymaf. Hoffwn annog Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet felly i gadw meddwl agored ynghylch pa un o'r opsiynau sydd ar gael a ddewisir. Gwn y bydd yn cadw'r gwahaniaeth enfawr yn y gost rhwng y llwybrau glas a du mewn cof. Gellid defnyddio'r gwahaniaeth hwn yn y costau ar brosiectau trafnidiaeth eraill sy'n fawr eu hangen, ac rwy'n siŵr y gwnaiff faddau i mi eto am grybwyll cyflwr ofnadwy Rover Way, sy'n debycach i lôn gefn gwlad na phrif wythïen i brifddinas y wlad. Rwy'n siŵr y gallai llawer o Aelodau'r Cynulliad ar draws y Siambr wneud achos dros brosiectau eraill sydd eu hangen yn ddirfawr, gyda rhai ohonynt wedi'u crybwyll yn gynharach gan Adam Smith, neu hyd yn oed ystyried y newid moddol a grybwyllwyd gan Julie Rathbone - [ Torri ar draws.] Rwy'n ymddiheuro. Nid ydych mor hen â hynny, Adam, rwy'n siŵr. Rwy'n ymddiheuro am y llithrad hwnnw, Adam. Fodd bynnag, rwy'n annog Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet i ganiatáu'r ymgynghoriad a'r bleidlais hon. Wedi'r cyfan, os yw pethau'n mynd o chwith gyda'r prosiect enfawr hwn, gallai'r Siambr gyfan gael ei chyfrif yn euog.
