English: Minister, the sort of deal that Labour is advocating would mean leaving the European single market and customs union, and this would cause untold damage to the UK economy, leading to further reductions in the Welsh Government's budgets, and it would damage the Welsh economy directly, leading to the closure of businesses and the loss of jobs. And it's not just Plaid Cymru saying this; Welsh Labour MPs Owen Smith, Tonia Antoniazzi and Anna McMorrin agree, and Welsh Labour AMs Alun Davies, Lynne Neagle and Vaughan Gething agree. And last night, in his speech to mark the twentieth anniversary of devolution, the First Minister said that cuts to public finances were directly related to an increase in child poverty, the use of food banks and homelessness in Wales. Your Government seems determined to prioritise party political expediency over protecting the welfare of the most vulnerable people in society by supporting Jeremy Corbyn's decision to enter into talks with the Tories over a possible Brexit deal. Shouldn't your Welsh Labour Government be defending Welsh economic interests by taking all possible steps to stay in the EU, rather than supporting Mr Corbyn, who is in talks to help the Conservatives to implement their hard Brexit policy? And, finally, let me turn now to the only way this catastrophe can be avoided, which is, of course, giving the people the opportunity to step back from the brink by holding a people's vote with an option to remain. Last week, the First Minister stated that the Welsh Government policy on a people's vote was, and I quote, that 'if the UK Parliament cannot unite around an alternative proposition that includes participation in the single market and a customs union, then the only option that remains is to give the decision back to the people.' Since then, the Labour Party has announced its policy for the European election, which includes an extra caveat, namely that they would seek to force a general election before supporting a referendum if no Brexit deal is agreed. Minister - and I would ask you please to answer this question directly because I've noticed in the past you've answered questions on issues that we agree on in commendably meticulous detail, but you have sometimes overlooked questions that might perhaps make you a little uncomfortable - is it now Welsh Government policy to seek a general election ahead of a people's vote if a Brexit deal acceptable to the Labour Party is not agreed?
Welsh: Weinidog, byddai'r math o gytundeb y mae Llafur yn ei argymell yn golygu gadael y farchnad sengl a'r undeb tollau Ewropeaidd, a byddai hyn yn peri niwed di-ben-draw i economi'r DU, gan arwain at ragor o doriadau yng nghyllidebau Llywodraeth Cymru, a byddai'n niweidio economi Cymru yn uniongyrchol, gan arwain at gau busnesau a cholli swyddi. Ac nid Plaid Cymru yn unig sy'n dweud hyn; mae ASau Llafur Cymru Owen Smith, Tonia Antoniazzi ac Anna McMorrin yn cytuno, ac mae ACau Llafur Cymru Alun Davies, Lynne Neagle a Vaughan Gething yn cytuno. A neithiwr, yn ei araith i nodi 20 mlynedd ers datganoli, dywedodd y Prif Weinidog fod toriadau i gyllid cyhoeddus yn uniongyrchol gysylltiedig â chynnydd mewn tlodi plant, y defnydd o fanciau bwyd a digartrefedd yng Nghymru. Ymddengys bod eich Llywodraeth yn benderfynol o flaenoriaethu hwylustod gwleidyddol dros ddiogelu lles y bobl fwyaf agored i niwed mewn cymdeithas drwy gefnogi penderfyniad Jeremy Corbyn i gynnal trafodaethau gyda'r Torïaid ynglŷn â chytundeb Brexit posibl. Oni ddylai eich Llywodraeth Lafur yng Nghymru fod yn amddiffyn buddiannau economaidd Cymru drwy gymryd pob cam posibl i aros yn yr UE, yn hytrach na chefnogi Mr Corbyn, sydd mewn trafodaethau i helpu'r Ceidwadwyr i weithredu eu polisi Brexit caled? Ac yn olaf, gadewch i mi droi at yr unig ffordd y gellir osgoi'r trychineb hwn, sef rhoi cyfle i'r bobl gamu'n ôl oddi wrth y dibyn wrth gwrs drwy gynnal pleidlais y bobl gyda'r opsiwn i aros. Yr wythnos diwethaf, dywedodd y Prif Weinidog mai polisi Llywodraeth Cymru ar bleidlais y bobl yw, a dyfynnaf, 'os na all Senedd y DU gytuno ar un cynnig amgen sy'n cynnwys bod yn rhan o'r farchnad sengl ac undeb tollau, yna'r unig ddewis sydd ar ôl yw rhoi'r penderfyniad yn ôl i'r bobl.' Ers hynny, mae'r Blaid Lafur wedi cyhoeddi ei pholisi ar gyfer yr etholiad Ewropeaidd, sy'n cynnwys cafeat ychwanegol, sef y byddent yn ceisio gorfodi etholiad cyffredinol cyn cefnogi refferendwm os na chytunir ar gytundeb Brexit. Weinidog - a gofynnaf i chi ateb y cwestiwn hwn yn uniongyrchol gan fy mod wedi sylwi yn y gorffennol eich bod wedi ateb cwestiynau ar faterion rydym yn cytuno arnynt mewn cryn dipyn o fanylder, ac mae hynny i'w ganmol, ond o bryd i'w gilydd rydych wedi esgeuluso cwestiynau a allai eich gwneud ychydig yn anghyfforddus - ai polisi Llywodraeth Cymru yn awr yw ceisio etholiad cyffredinol cyn pleidlais y bobl os na chytunir ar gytundeb Brexit sy'n dderbyniol i'r Blaid Lafur?
