English: The Conservatives, in their amendment, appear to agree with the general theme of our motion, but have also diverged from us on some of the specific proposals, notably the need for the housing development corporation. They favour incentivising local councils and other public bodies that already exist, rather than creating something new. I will examine that specific issue later on in the debate. One thing that we probably can all agree with is the need to build more homes in Wales. On the actual need for housing in Wales, there was some significant recent research by the late Dr Alan Holmans. He was the head of the Cambridge university's Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research, he was a former senior adviser to the UK Government, and he was regarded by many as the pre-eminent expert in projecting future housing needs and demand. A report by Dr Holmans was published just after his death in 2015 stating that Wales could need as many as 12,000 affordable new homes a year. This is due to a variety of factors, including an unexpected increase in the number of single-person households. Just to recap, we have stated a variety of factors, of which immigration is only one. So, although in UKIP we will always point to the effect of uncontrolled mass immigration on the housing market, we by no means say that it is the only one. I've used the term 'affordable housing', so I better explain what I mean by it. It refers to social housing or housing in the private rented sector that is affordable to people whose needs are not being met by the normal private housing market. The monthly rent of affordable homes should not cost more than 80 per cent of the average local market rent. Dr Holmans's figure was 12,000 new affordable homes a year; the Welsh Government have come up with a target of 20,000 affordable homes, but this is spread over an entire Assembly term. This will effectively mean 4,000 per year, which is a long way short of Dr Holmans's figure; in fact, it's only a third of the projected need. In 2014-15, just over 6,000 new homes were built in Wales, and we have to put this figure into some context. Fifty years ago, in the 1960s, the construction industry was building around 20,000 homes a year in Wales. So, we are now building much smaller numbers of houses, and the balance between private and council houses has also changed. In 1955, over 70 per cent of all new homes were built by the public sector in the form of council houses. Today, that situation has reversed, and we now have over 80 per cent of new homes being built by private developers. Many councils have large waiting lists, and many people would state that this means that we face a housing shortage, perhaps even a housing crisis. Of course, we've had housing shortages before in the UK, and we have come up with innovative means of tackling those shortages. There was a shortage of decent-quality homes immediately after the first world war and again immediately after world war two. On the latter occasion, the solution was prefabricated houses, or, as we all knew them, prefabs. In the six years after the war, 150,000 prefabs were built. They were only designed as a temporary solution, with an intended lifespan of only 10-15 years. Many of these prefabs lasted a lot longer than their intended life; there are some still standing and still occupied that must be at least 65 years old. Many people who lived in prefabs swore by them and proclaim that they were just as good as any other form of housing.
Welsh: Mae'n ymddangos bod y Ceidwadwyr, yn eu gwelliant, yn cytuno â thema gyffredinol ein cynnig, ond maent hefyd wedi dilyn llwybr gwahanol i ni ar rai o'r cynigion penodol, yn benodol ar yr angen am y gorfforaeth datblygu tai. Mae'n well ganddynt gymell cynghorau lleol a chyrff cyhoeddus eraill sydd eisoes yn bodoli, yn hytrach na chreu rhywbeth newydd. Byddaf yn archwilio'r mater penodol hwnnw yn nes ymlaen yn y ddadl. Un peth y gallwn i gyd gytuno yn ei gylch mae'n debyg yw'r angen i adeiladu mwy o gartrefi yng Nghymru. Ar yr angen go iawn am dai yng Nghymru, gwnaed ymchwil arwyddocaol gan y diweddar Dr Alan Holmans. Ef oedd pennaeth Canolfan Ymchwil Tai a Chynllunio prifysgol Caergrawnt, a chyn-uwch-gynghorydd i Lywodraeth y DU, ac fe'i hystyrid gan lawer fel yr arbenigwr mwyaf blaenllaw ar ragweld yr angen a'r galw am dai yn y dyfodol. Cyhoeddwyd adroddiad gan Dr Holmans ychydig wedi ei farwolaeth yn 2015 yn dweud y gallai Cymru fod angen cynifer â 12,000 o gartrefi newydd fforddiadwy y flwyddyn. Deillia hyn o amryw o ffactorau, gan gynnwys cynnydd annisgwyl yn nifer yr aelwydydd un person. I grynhoi, rydym wedi nodi amryw o ffactorau, ac un ohonynt yn unig yw mewnfudo. Felly, er y byddwn bob amser yn UKIP yn cyfeirio at effaith mewnfudo torfol heb reolaeth ar y farchnad dai, nid ydym ar unrhyw gyfrif yn dweud mai dyna'r unig effaith. Rwyf wedi defnyddio'r ymadrodd 'tai fforddiadwy', felly mae'n well i mi egluro beth a olygaf wrth hynny. Mae'n cyfeirio at dai cymdeithasol neu dai yn y sector rhentu preifat sy'n fforddiadwy i bobl nad yw eu hanghenion yn cael eu diwallu gan y farchnad dai breifat arferol. Ni ddylai rhent misol cartrefi fforddiadwy gostio mwy na 80 y cant o rent cyfartalog y farchnad leol. Ffigur Dr Holmans oedd 12,000 o gartrefi fforddiadwy newydd y flwyddyn; mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gosod targed o 20,000 o gartrefi fforddiadwy, ond caiff hwn ei wasgaru dros dymor Cynulliad cyfan. I bob pwrpas, bydd hyn yn golygu 4,000 y flwyddyn, ac mae ymhell o gyrraedd ffigur Dr Holmans; mewn gwirionedd, nid yw ond traean yr angen a ragwelwyd. Yn 2014-15, adeiladwyd ychydig dros 6,000 o gartrefi newydd yng Nghymru, a rhaid i ni roi'r ffigur hwn mewn cyd-destun. Hanner can mlynedd yn ôl, yn y 1960au, roedd y diwydiant adeiladu yn adeiladu tua 20,000 o gartrefi y flwyddyn yng Nghymru. Felly, rydym bellach yn adeiladu niferoedd llai o lawer o dai, ac mae'r cydbwysedd rhwng tai preifat a thai cyngor hefyd wedi newid. Yn 1955, adeiladwyd dros 70 y cant o'r holl gartrefi newydd gan y sector cyhoeddus ar ffurf tai cyngor. Heddiw, mae'r sefyllfa honno wedi ei throi ar ei phen, ac erbyn hyn mae dros 80 y cant o gartrefi newydd yn cael eu hadeiladu gan ddatblygwyr preifat. Mae gan lawer o gynghorau restrau aros mawr, a byddai llawer o bobl yn dweud bod hyn yn golygu ein bod yn wynebu prinder tai, neu argyfwng tai o bosibl hyd yn oed. Wrth gwrs, rydym wedi gweld prinder tai cyn hyn yn y DU, ac rydym wedi dod o hyd i ffyrdd arloesol o fynd i'r afael â'r prinder hwnnw. Cafwyd prinder cartrefi o ansawdd gweddus yn syth ar ôl y rhyfel byd cyntaf ac eto ar ôl yr ail ryfel byd. Y pryd hwnnw, yr ateb oedd tai parod, neu fel y mae pawb ohonom yn eu hadnabod, tai pri-ffab. Yn y chwe blynedd ar ôl y rhyfel, adeiladwyd 150,000 o dai parod. Fel ateb dros dro yn unig y cawsant eu cynllunio, gydag oes arfaethedig o 10-15 mlynedd yn unig. Parhaodd llawer o'r tai parod hyn yn llawer hwy na'u hoes arfaethedig; mae rhai yn dal i sefyll a phobl yn dal i fyw ynddynt, a rhaid eu bod yn 65 oed o leiaf. Roedd llawer o'r bobl a oedd yn byw mewn tai parod yn meddwl y byd ohonynt ac yn datgan eu bod lawn cystal ag unrhyw fath arall o dŷ.
