English: Well, clearly, this is a piece of work that is being done right across Government. We had an additional Cabinet meeting this morning specifically on coronavirus, and every department obviously is looking at the impact of the disease, and, as you say, my department - you're referring to obviously the internal workings of my department, but we're looking at it right across Government. Clearly, a lot of our staff can work from home, which is helpful if they need to self-isolate, et cetera, but we are going to have to look at those who can't do their job from home, obviously, and inspections is clearly one. This will be something that we will continually start to work up now we've seen some of the projected figures and the reasonably worst scenario. So, this is an ongoing piece of work. We'll have to be very flexible. It's the same for this Chamber, isn't it? If 20 per cent or more of us are unable to attend the Senedd sittings, obviously business will be affected. So, this is something that we're looking at right across Government, and I'm sure the Commission are too.
Welsh: Wel, yn amlwg, mae hwn yn waith sy'n cael ei wneud ar draws y Llywodraeth. Cawsom gyfarfod Cabinet ychwanegol y bore yma ar y coronafeirws yn benodol, ac yn amlwg, mae pob adran yn edrych ar effaith y clefyd, ac fel y dywedwch, mae fy adran i - rydych yn cyfeirio, wrth gwrs, at weithrediadau mewnol fy adran, ond rydym yn edrych arno ar draws y Llywodraeth. Yn amlwg, gall llawer o'n staff weithio o gartref, sy'n ddefnyddiol os oes angen iddynt hunanynysu ac ati, ond bydd yn rhaid inni edrych ar y rhai na allant wneud eu gwaith o gartref, ac mae archwiliadau'n un ohonynt, wrth gwrs. Bydd hyn yn rhywbeth y byddwn yn dechrau gweithio arno'n barhaus gan ein bod bellach wedi gweld rhai o'r ffigurau rhagamcanol a'r sefyllfa waethaf yn gymharol. Felly, mae hwn yn waith sy'n mynd rhagddo. Bydd yn rhaid inni fod yn hyblyg iawn. Mae'r un fath ag ar gyfer y Siambr hon, onid yw? Os bydd 20 y cant neu fwy ohonom yn methu mynychu sesiynau'r Senedd, mae'n amlwg yr effeithir ar ein gwaith. Felly, mae hyn yn rhywbeth rydym yn edrych arno ar draws y Llywodraeth, ac rwy'n siŵr bod y Comisiwn yn gwneud hynny hefyd.
English: I'm grateful for that answer, and I appreciate we're very much in the foothills at the moment, because the condition is obviously unfolding before us, but, for many rural businesses, there are very stiff penalties and sanctions if you don't hit those dates, especially with your application for single farm payment support. I use a very simple description as well about calf passports - if it's not registered within 28 days and processed, obviously then the animal is just discarded for human consumption, it is. And so, I'd be grateful, when you're in possession of better information - better-quality information, if you like, which could give indications of what measures you're putting in place to deal with maybe missed deadlines and worst-case scenarios so that people can have confidence that they will not be penalised because it is through no fault of their own - . Also, could I understand from you, Minister, how your department is interacting with the food supply chain? Because, again, if you look at the forecast ahead, with a 20 per cent absentee rate because of illness and the condition unfolding - and the peak months are May and June, we're told by the medical professionals - what work is the Welsh Government doing with food producers - and processors, importantly - to make sure that the food supply chain here in Wales is robust, and ultimately can deliver into shops and into the catering establishments that people require on a day-to-day basis?
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar am yr ateb hwnnw, ac rwy'n derbyn mai megis dechrau y mae hyn, oherwydd mae'r sefyllfa'n amlwg yn datblygu ger ein bron, ond i lawer o fusnesau gwledig, mae cosbau llym iawn os na fyddwch yn cydymffurfio â'r dyddiadau, yn enwedig gyda'ch cais am gymorth y taliad sengl. Rwy'n defnyddio enghraifft syml iawn yn ymwneud â phasbortau lloi - os nad yw wedi'i gofrestru o fewn 28 diwrnod a'i brosesu, ni ellir defnyddio'r anifail i'w fwyta gan bobl. Ac felly, buaswn yn ddiolchgar, pan fydd gennych wybodaeth well - gwybodaeth o ansawdd gwell, os mynnwch, a allai roi syniad o ba fesurau rydych yn eu rhoi ar waith i ymdopi â methiant i ymgeisio o fewn yr amser a senarios gwaethaf fel y gall pobl gael hyder na chânt eu cosbi am nad yw'n fai arnynt hwy - . Hefyd, a wnewch chi ddweud wrthyf, Weinidog, sut y mae eich adran yn rhyngweithio â'r gadwyn cyflenwi bwyd? Oherwydd, unwaith eto, os edrychwch ar y rhagolygon, gyda chyfradd o 20 y cant yn absennol oherwydd salwch a'r sefyllfa sy'n datblygu - a'r misoedd brig yw mis Mai a mis Mehefin, yn ôl yr hyn a ddywedir wrthym gan y gweithwyr meddygol proffesiynol - pa waith y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud gyda chynhyrchwyr bwyd - a phroseswyr, yn bwysig - i sicrhau bod y gadwyn cyflenwi bwyd yma yng Nghymru yn ddiogel, ac y gall, yn y pen draw, gyflenwi i siopau ac i sefydliadau arlwyo fel y bydd pobl ei angen o ddydd i ddydd?
English: If I can take your first point first, I think we have to have that flexibility and I think Julie James's portfolio is a classic example of how you have to have that flexibility, and something we've done in flooding and I think - . I probably may get a question on this later, but Rhianon Passmore certainly raised it with the First Minister yesterday and that was about, if a local authority is collecting flood-damaged furniture, for instance, from people's homes, would that be counted against their recycling targets? And the First Minister and the Minister for Housing and Local Government made it very clear that there will be flexibility around that, and I think it will be the same now. As this continues to unfold, we're going to have to have that flexibility, and, again, working with, obviously, food processors, food producers, that is clearly something we're going to have to work on. It's also - . I've been asked a question now about do companion animals, for instance, carry coronavirus and the short answer is: at the moment, we have no evidence of that, but clearly we need to keep a watching eye on that. So, there is so much early work that is now having to be accelerated, I think, in light of the action plan that came out for the four countries yesterday, et cetera.
Welsh: Os caf gymryd eich pwynt cyntaf yn gyntaf, rwy'n credu bod yn rhaid i ni gael yr hyblygrwydd hwnnw ac rwy'n credu bod portffolio Julie James yn enghraifft glasurol o sut y mae'n rhaid i chi gael yr hyblygrwydd, a rhywbeth rydym wedi'i wneud ym maes llifogydd ac rwy'n meddwl - . Mae'n debyg y caf gwestiwn ar hyn yn nes ymlaen, ond cododd Rhianon Passmore hyn gyda'r Prif Weinidog ddoe a gofynnodd, os yw awdurdod lleol yn casglu dodrefn a ddifrodwyd, er enghraifft, o gartrefi pobl, a fyddai hynny'n cyfrif yn erbyn eu targedau ailgylchu? A dywedodd y Prif Weinidog a'r Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol yn glir iawn y bydd hyblygrwydd ynglŷn â hynny, ac rwy'n credu y bydd hi'r un fath yn awr. Wrth i hyn barhau i ddatblygu, bydd yn rhaid inni gael yr hyblygrwydd hwnnw, ac unwaith eto, drwy weithio â phroseswyr bwyd, cynhyrchwyr bwyd, mae hynny'n amlwg yn rhywbeth y bydd yn rhaid inni weithio arno. Mae hefyd - . Gofynnwyd i mi yn awr a yw anifeiliaid anwes, er enghraifft, yn cario coronafeirws a'r ateb byr yw: ar hyn o bryd, nid oes gennym dystiolaeth o hynny, ond mae'n amlwg fod angen inni gadw llygad ar hynny. Felly, mae cymaint o waith cynnar sy'n rhaid ei wneud yn gyflymach yn awr, rwy'n meddwl, yng ngoleuni'r cynllun gweithredu a ddaeth allan ar gyfer y pedair gwlad ddoe, ac ati.
English: Given, obviously, we've talked extensively in this Chamber about nitrate vulnerable zones here, and the Government regulations around NVZs, are you in a position to say whether the regulations, as you envisage them, will be tabled before the end of this term - prior to Easter, obviously? Because, again, not wishing to be alarmist, but, with such major change in the rules and regulations, if the coronavirus does spread out as envisaged, with massive implications over the help and support that might be there - we're talking, as I said, about 20 per cent of the workforce being off at any one time - is that really a sensible time to be bringing forward such major changes? I can hear some Labour backbenchers saying 'yes'. Well, obviously that's the view that they might have, but, ultimately, if you're on the receiving end of these regulations and rule changes as envisaged, you're going to need quite a bit of help and support to (a) understand them, (b) implement them, and (c) and not fall foul of the rules and end up in court because of them. So, I ask you: are those regulations anticipated to be with us before Easter, and, if the coronavirus does unfold as projected, would it be sensible now to delay the implementation of such regulations until we're in a more robust position to make sure that help and support can be put in place so people don't fall foul of the rules and regulations?
Welsh: O ystyried, yn amlwg, ein bod wedi siarad yn helaeth yn y Siambr hon am barthau perygl nitradau, a rheoliadau'r Llywodraeth ynghylch parthau perygl nitradau, a ydych mewn sefyllfa i ddweud a fydd y rheoliadau, fel rydych yn eu rhagweld, yn cael eu cyflwyno cyn diwedd y tymor hwn - cyn y Pasg? Oherwydd, unwaith eto, nid wyf am godi bwganod, ond gyda'r fath newid mawr yn y rheolau a'r rheoliadau, os yw'r coronafeirws yn ymledu fel y rhagwelir, gyda goblygiadau enfawr o ran y cymorth a'r gefnogaeth a allai fod yno - rydym yn siarad, fel y dywedais, am 20 y cant o'r gweithlu'n absennol ar unrhyw adeg - a yw honno'n adeg synhwyrol i gyflwyno newidiadau mor fawr? Gallaf glywed rhai ar feinciau cefn Llafur yn dweud 'ydy'. Wel, mae'n amlwg mai dyna yw eu barn hwy, ond yn y pen draw, os ydych yn mynd i orfod cyflawni'r newidiadau hyn i'r rheolau a'r rheoliadau fel y rhagwelir, bydd angen cryn dipyn o gymorth a chefnogaeth arnoch i (a) eu deall, (b) eu gweithredu, ac (c) pi beidio â thramgwyddo'r rheolau a gorfod mynd i'r llys o'u herwydd. Felly, rwy'n gofyn i chi: a ragwelir yr bydd y rheoliadau gyda ni cyn y Pasg, ac os yw'r coronafeirws yn datblygu fel y rhagwelir, a fyddai'n synhwyrol yn awr i ohirio gweithredu rheoliadau o'r fath nes ein bod mewn sefyllfa gadarnach i wneud yn siŵr fod modd rhoi cymorth a chefnogaeth ar waith fel nad yw pobl yn tramgwyddo'r rheolau a'r rheoliadau?
English: They will be tabled before the end of this term.
Welsh: Byddant yn cael eu cyflwyno cyn diwedd y tymor hwn.
English: Thank you. I'm committed to increasing our rate of tree planting to 2,000 hectares per year. We're investing £4.5 million to begin establishing a national forest. This will accelerate the rate of tree planting in Wales alongside other policies, such as the Glastir woodland creation scheme.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n ymrwymedig i gynyddu ein cyfradd plannu coed i 2,000 hectar y flwyddyn. Rydym yn buddsoddi £4.5 miliwn i ddechrau sefydlu coedwig genedlaethol. Bydd hyn yn cyflymu'r broses o blannu coed yng Nghymru ochr yn ochr â pholisïau eraill, megis cynllun creu coetiroedd Glastir.
English: Of course, we as individuals could do something more as well, and plant trees in our own gardens. I also want to stress the importance of trees in reducing pollution, flooding and acting as carbon stores. What support is the Welsh Government giving to agroforestry, which would help with flood mitigation, reduce flash flooding and reduce overland flows?
Welsh: Wrth gwrs, gallem ni fel unigolion wneud rhagor hefyd, a phlannu coed yn ein gerddi ein hunain. Rwyf am bwysleisio pwysigrwydd coed i leihau llygredd a llifogydd a gweithredu fel storfeydd carbon. Pa gefnogaeth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei rhoi i amaeth-goedwigaeth a fyddai'n helpu i liniaru llifogydd, lleihau fflachlifoedd a lleihau llifddwr dros dir?
English: Thank you. I recognise the wide-ranging benefits that planting trees, including for agroforestry, can bring. Increasing the woodland cover in Wales is a core part of our low-carbon delivery plan to tackle climate change and, as you say, it can also address poor air quality and flooding issues. One of the key priorities of the draft national strategy for flood and coastal erosion risk management in Wales is to deliver more natural interventions and catchment approaches to help improve environmental resilience and I think one thing that we have seen over the past month is you can't just keep building higher walls and using more concrete. We need to look at those natural interventions. Our sustainable management scheme has also supported collaborative landscape-scale projects, and that takes action to improve the resilience of our natural resources across Wales and those include flood risk management on the River Clwyd, increasing resilience within our iconic Welsh woodlands in sites right across Wales, and nature-based solutions in the Dyfi catchment, and also revitalising our precious peatland and upland habitats throughout Wales. And I think you made a very important point at the beginning, Mike Hedges, that we can all play a part - if we're able to - by planting trees in our gardens.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n cydnabod y manteision pellgyrhaeddol a ddaw yn sgil plannu coed, gan gynnwys ar gyfer amaeth-goedwigaeth. Mae cynyddu gorchudd coetir yng Nghymru yn rhan greiddiol o'n cynllun cyflawni carbon isel i fynd i'r afael â newid hinsawdd ac fel y dywedwch, gall fynd i'r afael â phroblemau ansawdd aer gwael a llifogydd hefyd. Un o brif flaenoriaethau'r strategaeth genedlaethol ddrafft ar gyfer rheoli perygl llifogydd ac erydu arfordirol yng Nghymru yw sicrhau mwy o ymyriadau naturiol a dulliau'n seiliedig ar dalgylchoedd i helpu i wella gwytnwch amgylcheddol a chredaf mai un peth a welsom dros y mis diwethaf yw na allwch ddal ati i adeiladu waliau uwch a defnyddio mwy o goncrit. Mae angen inni edrych ar yr ymyriadau naturiol hynny. Mae ein cynllun rheoli cynaliadwy hefyd wedi cefnogi prosiectau cydweithredol ar raddfa'r dirwedd, ac mae'n rhoi camau ar waith i wella gwytnwch ein hadnoddau naturiol ledled Cymru ac mae'r rheini'n cynnwys rheoli perygl llifogydd ar afon Clwyd, cynyddu gwytnwch ein coetiroedd eiconig yng Nghymru ar safleoedd ledled Cymru, ac atebion sy'n seiliedig ar natur yn nalgylch Dyfi, a hefyd adfywio ein mawndiroedd a'n cynefinoedd gwerthfawr ar yr ucheldir ym mhob rhan o Gymru. Ac rwy'n credu eich bod wedi gwneud pwynt pwysig iawn ar y dechrau, Mike Hedges, fod modd i bawb ohonom chwarae rhan - os gallwn - drwy blannu coed yn ein gerddi.
English: I think Mike Hedges makes a really good point to bring this question up, because they are so important, and I really respect the 2020 target that the Welsh Government have of 2,000 hectares of trees to be planted per year. However, I am concerned that, in tandem with that, and, as a response to a freedom of information request submitted by the Welsh Conservatives, we established that, across the four NRW managed sites, where onshore windfarms are located, a total of 1,938,400 trees have been felled, which is the equivalent of 1,155 hectares of trees being lost. So, essentially, there's a hole in the bottom of this bucket, isn't there - as you are planting them, they're being felled. So, Minister, can you just give us some idea of the rationale behind that? And will you also then be committed to increasing your rate of replanting, given that NRW are felling almost as fast as Welsh Government are trying to plant?
Welsh: Rwy'n credu bod Mike Hedges yn gwneud pwynt da iawn wrth ofyn y cwestiwn hwn, oherwydd maent mor bwysig, ac rwy'n parchu'n fawr y targed 2020 sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i blannu 2,000 hectar o goed bob blwyddyn. Ond ochr yn ochr â hynny, ac fel ymateb i gais rhyddid gwybodaeth a gyflwynwyd gan y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, fe wnaethom sefydlu, ar draws y pedwar safle a reolir gan CNC, lle lleolwyd ffermydd gwynt ar y tir, fod cyfanswm o 1,938,400 o goed wedi'u cwympo, sy'n cyfateb i golli 1,155 hectar o goed. Felly, yn y bôn, mae twll yng ngwaelod y bwced, onid oes - wrth i chi eu plannu, cânt eu cwympo. Felly, Weinidog, a allwch roi rhyw syniad inni o'r rhesymeg y tu ôl i hynny? Ac a wnewch chi ymrwymo felly i gynyddu eich cyfradd ailblannu, o gofio bod CNC yn cwympo bron mor gyflym ag y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ceisio plannu?
English: I'm not aware of the specific reasons around the figure that Angela Burns refers to, but, certainly, replanting is just as important for me as new sites as well. But I'll certainly look into that figure and provide the Member with a response as to why that is the case. But NRW are very aware of the target that we have, our need to reach it. I don't think 2,000 hectares is overly ambitious. I think we really should be able to do that, and, clearly, with the national forest as well, I'm very hopeful that that figure will be reached.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn ymwybodol o'r rhesymau penodol dros y ffigur y mae Angela Burns yn cyfeirio ato, ond yn sicr, mae ailblannu yr un mor bwysig i mi ag yw safleoedd newydd. Ond byddaf yn sicr o edrych ar y ffigur hwnnw a rhoi ateb i'r Aelod pam y mae hynny'n digwydd. Ond mae CNC yn ymwybodol iawn o'r targed sydd gennym, ein hangen i'w gyrraedd. Nid wyf yn credu bod 2,000 hectar yn rhy uchelgeisiol. Rwy'n credu y dylem allu gwneud hynny, ac yn amlwg, gyda'r goedwig genedlaethol hefyd, rwy'n obeithiol iawn y cyrhaeddir y ffigur hwnnw.
English: Minister, my question's basically the same as Angela's. Under the freedom of information request, more than 1.5 million trees have been felled on NRW land to make way for windfarms across Wales. My second part would be: what measures does your Government take to mitigate the loss of such vast swathes of the ecosystem, and how can you justify one against the other?
Welsh: Weinidog, yr un yw fy nghwestiwn i ag un Angela yn y bôn. O dan y cais rhyddid gwybodaeth, mae mwy na 1.5 o goed wedi'u cwympo ar dir CNC i wneud lle i ffermydd gwynt ledled Cymru. Fy ail ran fyddai: pa gamau y mae eich Llywodraeth yn eu cymryd i liniaru colli darnau mor eang o'r ecosystem, a sut y gallwch gyfiawnhau un yn erbyn y llall?
English: So, just to add to my answer to Angela Burns, it is important that NRW recognise the need for replanting, and clearly there are diseased trees that we have to also make sure that we are able then to replant after a certain time has passed. I think tree planting is a long-term aspiration. I've been the first to hold my hands up and say we are not planting a sufficient number of trees, for a variety of reasons, but we are committed to doing better in future, so that we can tackle biodiversity and climate change emergencies, and deliver those multiple benefits that Mike Hedges referred to in his initial questions.
Welsh: I ategu fy ateb i Angela Burns, mae'n bwysig fod CNC yn cydnabod yr angen i ailblannu, ac yn amlwg ceir coed heintiedig y mae'n rhaid i ni hefyd wneud yn siŵr ein bod yn gallu ailblannu yn eu lle ar ôl i amser penodol fynd heibio. Rwy'n credu bod plannu coed yn ddyhead hirdymor. Fi yw'r cyntaf i gyfaddef nad ydym yn plannu digon o goed, am amryw o resymau, ond rydym wedi ymrwymo i wneud yn well yn y dyfodol, fel y gallwn fynd i'r afael ag argyfyngau'n gysylltiedig â bioamrywiaeth a newid hinsawdd, a darparu'r manteision lluosog y cyfeiriodd Mike Hedges atynt yn ei gwestiynau cychwynnol.
English: Minister, you identified disease as one of the reasons we're felling. Obviously, in the Afan valley, we saw the first of the diseased trees being felled, and they're still being felled up there now. Replanting is crucial. Therefore, will you have discussions with NRW to ensure that their plans for replanting are implemented as quickly as possible? Because not only does it affect the trees, but also it affects industry and businesses that benefit from the mountain biking up in the Afan valley, which are losing customers because of the felling.
Welsh: Weinidog, nodwyd clefyd gennych fel un o'r rhesymau pam rydym yn cwympo coed. Yn amlwg, yng nghwm Afan, gwelsom y rhai cyntaf o'r coed heintiedig yn cael eu cwympo, ac maent yn dal i gael eu cwympo yno yn awr. Mae ailblannu yn hollbwysig. Felly, a wnewch chi gynnal trafodaethau gydag CNC i sicrhau bod eu cynlluniau ailblannu yn cael eu gweithredu cyn gynted â phosibl? Oherwydd nid yn unig y mae'n effeithio ar y coed, ond mae hefyd yn effeithio ar ddiwydiant a busnesau sy'n elwa o'r beicio mynydd yng nghwm Afan, sy'n colli cwsmeriaid oherwydd y cwympo.
English: Yes, certainly I will have that conversation with NRW. I think - the other quarter of the meeting that we had yesterday, when we weren't talking about flooding, we were talking about timber and tree planting, et cetera. So, they are very aware of that. And the need to plant the right tree in the right place - that's also very important.
Welsh: Gwnaf, yn sicr fe gaf y sgwrs honno ag CNC. Rwy'n credu - treuliwyd chwarter arall y cyfarfod a gawsom ddoe, pan nad oeddem yn sôn am lifogydd, yn siarad am bren a phlannu coed ac ati. Felly, maent yn ymwybodol iawn o hynny. A'r angen i blannu'r goeden iawn yn y lle iawn - mae hynny hefyd yn bwysig iawn.
English: Thank you. The management of coal tips is the responsibility of the landowner. In many cases, this will be a local authority, Natural Resources Wales or the Coal Authority. Where there are concerns about a coal tip, the relevant authorities have powers to inspect them and, if necessary, to undertake remedial work.
Welsh: Diolch. Cyfrifoldeb y tirfeddiannwr yw rheoli tomenni glo. Mewn llawer o achosion, awdurdod lleol, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru neu'r Awdurdod Glo fydd hwn. Lle ceir pryderon ynghylch tomen lo, mae gan yr awdurdodau perthnasol bwerau i'w harchwilio ac os oes angen, i wneud gwaith adferol.
English: Thank you for that answer. It seems that - . My concern is that, when the First Minister said that all these organisations had responsibilities for inspecting these tips - I just worry whether there's any overlap of responsibility where one organisation may not be clear who's doing what. In respect of Welsh Government owned land, is it solely a matter for NRW to assure you and us? And where - . You said the landowner was responsible, but then you listed various organisations who might not be the landowner, for instance, if it's private land. What then is the responsibility of the Coal Authority versus the local authority in which that land is?
Welsh: Diolch ichi am yr ateb hwnnw. Mae'n ymddangos - . Yr hyn sy'n peri pryder i mi yw, pan ddywedodd y Prif Weinidog fod gan yr holl sefydliadau hyn gyfrifoldebau i arolygu'r tomenni glo - rwy'n poeni a oes unrhyw orgyffwrdd cyfrifoldeb lle mae'n bosibl na fydd un sefydliad yn glir pwy sy'n gwneud beth. Mewn perthynas â thir sy'n eiddo i Lywodraeth Cymru, ai mater i CNC yn unig yw rhoi sicrwydd i chi ac i ni? A ble - . Fe ddywedoch chi mai'r tirfeddiannwr oedd yn gyfrifol, ond wedyn fe restroch chi amryw o sefydliadau na fyddent yn dirfeddianwyr, er enghraifft os yw'n dir preifat. Beth felly yw cyfrifoldeb yr Awdurdod Glo yn erbyn yr awdurdod lleol lle mae'r tir hwnnw wedi'i leoli?
