English: I find myself a very skeptical voice on this issue regarding the mutual investment model. Although, I have to say, having taken the opportunity to speak to the Minister's officials on two occasions, I'm somewhat reassured about both the reporting mechanisms and the detail of the commercial approval point checks that will be taking place and also project agreements and reporting mechanisms that will be associated with those. So, there is reassurance, but I think it has been a rather well-kept secret by the Welsh Government as to how these things will happen until recently. The accessibility and information on the mutual investment model could have been much better, although now I've found that on the beta.gov.wales page there is a mutual investment model explanation. There are six paragraphs of relatively straightforward public information together with technical documentation. However, if I was a parent whose child's school was going to be built using mutual investment model funding, I wouldn't be reassured by language that the Minister used in her statement. For example: 'This investment will be on pari passu terms, with private equity investors.' And 'we have agreed that, for the next phase of the twenty-first century schools and education programme, we will increase the intervention rates for both capital and mutual investment model-funded projects.' I don't think that's very public facing and I don't think it gives much assurance to those parents of children who will be in twenty-first century band B schools. Therefore, what plans does the Government have to make accessible the information regarding the mutual investment model while projects are being prepared, and particularly while they are being delivered and afterwards? There must be plans to make accessible that information to those people who have concerns but have no interest in technical information.
Welsh: Caf fy hun yn llais amheugar iawn ar y mater hwn ynghylch y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol. Er, mae'n rhaid imi ddweud, ar ôl achub ar y cyfle i siarad â swyddogion y Gweinidog ar ddau achlysur, rwyf wedi cael rhyw gysur ynghylch y mecanweithiau adrodd a manylion y gwiriadau adeg cymeradwyo masnachol a fydd yn digwydd a hefyd y cytundebau prosiect a'r mecanweithiau adrodd a fydd yn gysylltiedig â'r rheini. Felly, mae cysur, ond rwy'n credu bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cadw pethau'n bur gyfrinachol ynghylch sut y bydd y pethau hyn yn digwydd tan yn ddiweddar. Gallai hygyrchedd a gwybodaeth am y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol wedi bod yn well o lawer, er fy mod i bellach wedi dod o hyd i eglurhad ar y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol ar dudalen beta.gov.wales. Mae yna chwe pharagraff o wybodaeth eithaf syml i'r cyhoedd ynglŷn â buddsoddi cydfuddiannol ynghyd â dogfennau technegol. Fodd bynnag, pe bawn i'n rhiant ac ysgol fy mhlentyn yn cael ei hadeiladu drwy ddefnyddio cyllid y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol, ni fyddai'r iaith a ddefnyddiodd y Gweinidog yn ei datganiad yn gysur imi. Er enghraifft: Bydd y buddsoddiad hwn ar delerau cydradd, gyda buddsoddwyr ecwiti preifat Ac rydym ni wedi cytuno, ar gyfer cam nesaf rhaglen ysgolion ac addysg yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, y byddwn yn cynyddu'r cyfraddau ymyrryd ar gyfer prosiectau sy'n cael eu hariannu drwy'r model cyfalaf a'r model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol. Nid wyf yn credu fod hynny yn agored iawn i'r cyhoedd ac nid wyf yn credu ei fod yn rhoi llawer o gysur i rieni'r plant hynny a fydd mewn ysgolion band B yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Felly, pa gynlluniau sydd gan y Llywodraeth i wneud yr wybodaeth ynghylch y model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol yn hygyrch tra bo prosiectau yn cael eu paratoi, ac yn enwedig pan fo nhw'n cael eu cyflawni ac wedyn? Mae'n rhaid cael cynlluniau i sicrhau bod yr wybodaeth honno ar gael i'r bobl hynny sy'n pryderu ond nad oes ganddyn nhw unrhyw ddiddordeb mewn gwybodaeth dechnegol.
