English: Welsh Government is working with Community Housing Cymru, the police, police and crime commissioners and other stakeholders to develop a national approach to tackling anti-social behaviour for use by all social housing providers in Wales.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio gyda Cartrefi Cymunedol Cymru, yr heddlu, y comisiynwyr heddlu a throseddu a rhanddeiliaid eraill i ddatblygu dull cenedlaethol o fynd i'r afael ag ymddygiad gwrthgymdeithasol y gall yr holl ddarparwyr tai cymdeithasol yng Nghymru ei ddefnyddio.
English: Thank you, Minister. Unfortunately, I've seen a big increase recently in complaints from tenants about anti-social behaviour, and in some cases they've been very serious and even life-threatening cases. One of the things that appears to be consistent is a reluctance to give evidence because of fear of reprisals, and whilst in recent years there's been an increase in the use of professional witnesses to support cases, it is inevitable that they will not witness or experience the same issue as someone who is living with a situation 24/7. What further support can the Welsh Government offer to ensure that social landlords and tenants in Torfaen are better protected to ensure that such cases are dealt with more effectively, and even to prevent them from happening in the first place?
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Yn anffodus, rwyf wedi gweld cryn gynnydd yn ddiweddar yn nifer y cwynion gan denantiaid ynglŷn ag ymddygiad gwrthgymdeithasol, ac mae rhai ohonynt wedi bod yn achosion difrifol iawn a hyd yn oed yn achosion lle roedd bywyd yn y fantol. Un o'r pethau sy'n ymddangos yn gyson yw amharodrwydd pobl i roi tystiolaeth am eu bod ofn y bydd rhywun yn dial arnynt, ac er bod cynnydd wedi bod yn y defnydd o dystion proffesiynol i gefnogi achosion dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf, mae'n anochel na fyddant yn gweld neu'n dyst i'r un broblem â rhywun sy'n byw gyda sefyllfa 24/7. Pa gymorth pellach y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei gynnig i sicrhau bod landlordiaid cymdeithasol a thenantiaid yn Nhorfaen yn cael eu diogelu'n well i sicrhau bod achosion o'r fath yn cael eu trin yn fwy effeithiol, a hyd yn oed i'w hatal rhag digwydd yn y lle cyntaf?
English: I thank you for raising this important issue, and I'm sorry to hear about the serious anti-social behaviour issues that your constituents have been facing. I met with police and crime commissioner Alun Michael earlier in the week, and his deputy, and they're working together to lead that piece of work, which is developing a resource for all social housing providers, hopefully, subject to the successful evaluation of that pilot scheme. And my intention would be for it to be rolled out as soon as possible after the evaluation. I expect to have the full report by the end of March, and I'm keen to establish which local authorities and which social landlords in particular would benefit most from the use of the resource. So, perhaps if we could have a conversation and pinpoint some particular registered social landlords in Torfaen, that might be a good area where we could start making some progress. Obviously, there are issues of confidentiality here, so if you would like to me to ask my officials to speak to any specific landlords about issues that your constituents are facing, I'd be very happy to do so.
Welsh: Diolch am godi'r mater pwysig hwn, ac mae'n ddrwg gennyf glywed am y problemau ymddygiad gwrthgymdeithasol difrifol y mae eich etholwyr wedi eu hwynebu. Cyfarfûm â'r comisiynydd heddlu a throseddu, Alun Michael, yn gynharach yn yr wythnos, a'i ddirprwy, ac maent yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd i arwain y gwaith hwnnw, sy'n datblygu adnodd ar gyfer pob darparwr tai cymdeithasol, gobeithio, yn amodol ar werthusiad llwyddiannus y cynllun peilot hwnnw. Ac rwy'n bwriadu ei gyflwyno cyn gynted â phosibl ar ôl y gwerthusiad. Rwy'n disgwyl cael yr adroddiad llawn erbyn diwedd mis Mawrth, ac rwy'n awyddus i wybod pa awdurdodau lleol a pha landlordiaid cymdeithasol yn enwedig a fyddai'n elwa fwyaf o ddefnyddio'r adnoddau. Felly, pe gallem gael sgwrs efallai, a nodi rhai landlordiaid cymdeithasol cofrestredig penodol yn Nhorfaen, gallai hwnnw fod yn fan da i allu dechrau gwneud rhywfaint o gynnydd. Yn amlwg, mae materion cyfrinachedd ynghlwm wrth hyn, felly os hoffech i mi ofyn i fy swyddogion siarad gydag unrhyw landlordiaid penodol ynglŷn â'r materion y mae eich etholwyr yn eu hwynebu, buaswn yn fwy na pharod i wneud hynny.
English: The next item on the agenda is topical questions, and this afternoon's topical question is from Russell George.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf ar yr agenda yw'r cwestiynau amserol, a daw'r cwestiwn amserol y prynhawn yma gan Russell George.
English: Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. There is, of course, understandable excitement about the decision - [ Interruption.] Sorry, yes.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Wrth gwrs, mae cynnwrf dealladwy ynghylch y penderfyniad - [ Torri ar draws.] Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, ie.
English: That does help; now we all know what you're talking about.
Welsh: Mae hynny'n helpu; nawr mae pob un ohonom yn gwybod am beth rydych yn sôn.
English: I do indeed share the Member's excitement about the investment the Welsh Government has made in TVR, which follows a process of thorough due diligence, and we provided a repayable commercial loan of £2 million in early 2016. This was made alongside a private sector lender. We've also invested £500,000 into equity on the same terms as other investors, giving the Welsh Government a minority stake of 3 per cent in TVR, ensuring that the Welsh taxpayer benefits from the company's success.
Welsh: Yn wir, rwy'n rhannu cynnwrf yr Aelod ynglŷn â'r buddsoddiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wneud yn TVR, sy'n dilyn proses o ddiwydrwydd dyladwy trylwyr, a darparwyd benthyciad masnachol ad-daladwy o £2 filiwn gennym yn gynnar yn 2016. Gwnaed hyn ochr yn ochr â benthyciwr o'r sector preifat. Rydym hefyd wedi buddsoddi £500,000 mewn ecwiti ar yr un telerau â buddsoddwyr eraill, gan roi cyfran leiafrifol o 3 y cant i Lywodraeth Cymru yn TVR, er mwyn sicrhau bod trethdalwyr Cymru yn elwa o lwyddiant y cwmni.
English: Thank you, Cabinet Secretary, and sorry, Deputy Presiding Officer - I got too excited myself in my question there. There is, of course, the prestige of the TVR badge, but that's of course not the only thing that's of consideration. Two and a half million pounds is a significant investment, and the public, of course, want to see the evidence that taxpayers' money is properly being safeguarded. Now, papers filed with Companies House suggest that the Welsh Government has told the company that £2 million of the loan will not be called on for repayment, provided that the company secures private sector investment equal to or greater than £5.5 million. Can I ask you to confirm if that's correct? During committee this morning, you were unable to confirm whether the Welsh Government has an observer on the board of TVR. I wonder if you could also clarify that position. And, to date, the two listed companies connected with this investment have a headcount of just six jobs. Now, commercial common sense and respect for taxpayers' money dictate that there must be an economic benefit to this spending. So, can I ask what conditions the Government has placed on TVR in return for investment, and what is the delivery date by which the promised 150 jobs will materialise? And finally, do you agree that the Welsh Government does have a moral and economic duty to the people of Blaenau Gwent to ensure that this exciting project doesn't turn into another disappointment for that area?
Welsh: Diolch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ac mae'n ddrwg gennyf, Ddirprwy Lywydd - roeddwn wedi cynhyrfu gormod wrth ofyn fy nghwestiwn. Wrth gwrs, mae'r bri sydd i fathodyn TVR yn un peth, ond wrth gwrs, nid hynny yw'r unig beth y dylid ei ystyried. Mae £2.5 miliwn yn fuddsoddiad sylweddol, ac mae'r cyhoedd, wrth gwrs, yn awyddus i weld tystiolaeth fod arian trethdalwyr yn cael ei ddiogelu'n briodol. Nawr, mae papurau a ffeiliwyd gyda Thŷ'r Cwmnïau yn awgrymu bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dweud wrth y cwmni na fydd £2 filiwn o'r benthyciad yn ad-daladwy, cyhyd â bod y cwmni yn sicrhau buddsoddiad o'r sector preifat sy'n gyfwerth neu'n fwy na £5.5 miliwn. A gaf fi ofyn i chi gadarnhau bod hynny'n gywir? Yn ystod y pwyllgor y bore yma, nid oeddech yn gallu cadarnhau a oes gan Lywodraeth Cymru sylwedydd ar fwrdd TVR. Tybed a allwch egluro'r sefyllfa honno hefyd. A hyd yma, chwe swydd yn unig sydd ynghlwm wrth y ddau gwmni rhestredig sy'n gysylltiedig â'r buddsoddiad hwn. Nawr, mae synnwyr cyffredin masnachol a pharch am arian trethdalwyr yn golygu bod yn rhaid sicrhau budd economaidd i'r gwariant hwn. Felly, a gaf fi ofyn pa amodau y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi eu gosod ar TVR yn gyfnewid am fuddsoddiad, ac erbyn pa ddyddiad y bydd y 150 o swyddi a addawyd yn dod i fodolaeth? Ac yn olaf, a ydych yn cytuno bod gan Lywodraeth Cymru ddyletswydd foesol ac economaidd i bobl Blaenau Gwent i sicrhau nad yw'r prosiect cyffrous hwn yn troi yn siom arall i'r ardal honno?
English: Did the Cabinet Secretary answer the question in relation to the membership of the board, because he was unsure, when he was asked this morning, whether the Government had nominated, presumably not a director according to the company accounts, but a nominated observer, at least? Is it Government policy to have nominated observers in situations like this where the Government has taken an equity stake? He said this morning that the reason the Government had taken a direct stake in this instance, rather than going through the development bank, because the development bank hadn't been established - . But will it now be the policy, from now on in, for those equity stakes to be held via the development bank, which deals with investments on a regular basis, and would therefore seem a more sensible approach? Can we have a Government statement every time an equity stake - ? I mean, this is different, surely, from a grant or a loan. If the Government is taking part ownership in a company, then surely it shouldn't be up to the BBC to report that - that should actually be provided either in a written statement or a statement on the floor of the Assembly.
Welsh: A atebodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet y cwestiwn mewn perthynas ag aelodaeth y bwrdd, oherwydd roedd yn ansicr, pan ofynnwyd iddo y bore yma, pa un a yw'r Llywodraeth wedi enwebu, nid cyfarwyddwr mae'n debyg, yn ôl cyfrifon y cwmni, ond sylwedydd enwebedig, o leiaf? Ai polisi'r Llywodraeth yw sicrhau bod ganddynt sylwedyddion enwebedig mewn sefyllfaoedd fel hyn lle mae'r Llywodraeth wedi cymryd cyfran ecwiti? Dywedodd y bore yma mai'r rheswm y cymerodd y Llywodraeth gyfran uniongyrchol yn yr achos hwn, yn hytrach na mynd drwy'r banc datblygu, gan nad oedd y banc datblygu wedi'i sefydlu - . Ond ai'r polisi o hyn ymlaen fydd cymryd y cyfrannau ecwiti hynny drwy'r banc datblygu, sy'n ymdrin â buddsoddiadau ar sail reolaidd, ac a fyddai'n ymddangos felly'n ffordd fwy synhwyrol o fynd ati? A gawn ni ddatganiad gan y Llywodraeth bob tro ar gyfran ecwiti - ? Hynny yw, 'does bosib nad yw hyn yn wahanol i grant neu fenthyciad. Os yw'r Llywodraeth yn ymgymryd â rhan-berchnogaeth mewn cwmni, 'does bosib nad cyfrifoldeb y BBC yw adrodd ar hynny - dylid darparu'r wybodaeth honno naill ai mewn datganiad ysgrifenedig neu ddatganiad ar lawr y Cynulliad.
English: I'm happy to issue written statements confirming whenever Welsh Government takes an equity stake in a company. The Member asked about the role of Finance Wales as it was, and the development bank as it now is. The development bank is monitoring the progress of the business, but the reason that Finance Wales was not able to take an asset investment in TVR was, in part, because it could not take an investment in TVR, because the company was, at the time, located outside of Wales. We were able to, on the condition that manufacturing came to Wales. In terms of representation on the board, as a minority shareholder, with just 3 per cent, we would not be expected to be able to present a board member. However, as I indicated this morning, a Welsh Government official does attend board meetings as an observer, and, of course, I closely scrutinise activities and progress with regard to this particular vehicle, but the company as a whole as well.
Welsh: Rwy'n fwy na pharod i gyhoeddi datganiadau ysgrifenedig i roi cadarnhad pan fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cymryd cyfran ecwiti mewn cwmni. Gofynnodd yr Aelod ynglŷn â rôl Cyllid Cymru fel yr arferai fod, a'r banc datblygu fel y mae bellach. Mae'r banc datblygu yn monitro cynnydd y busnes, ond y rheswm na allai Cyllid Cymru wneud buddsoddiad ased yn TVR, yn rhannol, oedd am na allent wneud buddsoddiad yn TVR, am fod y cwmni, ar y pryd, wedi eu lleoli y tu allan i Gymru. Roedd modd i ni wneud, ar yr amod fod gweithgynhyrchu'n dod i Gymru. O ran cynrychiolaeth ar y bwrdd, fel cyfranddaliwr lleiafrifol, gyda 3 y cant yn unig, ni fyddai disgwyl inni allu cyflwyno aelod o'r bwrdd. Fodd bynnag, fel y dywedais y bore yma, mae un o swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynychu cyfarfodydd y bwrdd fel sylwedydd, ac wrth gwrs, rwy'n craffu'n ofalus ar weithgarwch a chynnydd o ran y cerbyd arbennig hwn, ond ar y cwmni yn ei gyfanrwydd hefyd.
English: Hewlett-Packard, of course, started with two people, and Facebook with one, so I don't think the number of people you're starting with is of great importance; the number of people you end up with is the most important. There are three ways of funding: grants or non-repayable loans, as they used to be described, loans and equity. Will the Cabinet Secretary explain why he's chosen equity in this case?
Welsh: Dechreuodd Hewlett-Packard, wrth gwrs, gyda dau o bobl, a Facebook gydag un, felly ni chredaf fod nifer y bobl sydd gennych ar y dechrau yn bwysig iawn; y nifer o bobl sydd gennych ar y diwedd sy'n bwysig. Mae tair ffordd o ariannu: grantiau neu fenthyciadau nad ydynt yn ad-daladwy, fel roeddent yn arfer cael eu disgrifio, benthyciadau ac ecwiti. A wnaiff Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet egluro pam y mae wedi dewis ecwiti yn yr achos hwn?
English: We chose a mix of both a loan and equity: equity, in part, to ensure that we were able to benefit from the success of the company, as I've already said, and the loan in order to make sure that we get manufacturing to Wales. There are risks and rewards in any investment, but with this particular investment, the brand is incredibly strong and the potential of the reward is therefore immense. The potential of the reward for Blaenau Gwent, again, is potentially huge, and so I think the balance of risk versus reward is heavily skewed towards reward.
Welsh: Fe ddewisom ni gymysgedd o fenthyciad ac ecwiti: ecwiti, yn rhannol, i sicrhau bod modd inni elwa o lwyddiant y cwmni, fel rwyf eisoes wedi dweud, a'r benthyciad er mwyn sicrhau bod y gwaith gweithgynhyrchu yn dod i Gymru. Ceir risg a budd gydag unrhyw fuddsoddiad, ond gyda'r buddsoddiad penodol hwn, mae'r brand yn hynod o gryf ac felly mae cryn botensial ar gyfer budd. Mae'r potensial ar gyfer budd i Flaenau Gwent, unwaith eto, yn enfawr o bosibl, ac felly credaf fod y cydbwysedd rhwng risg a budd yn gwyro i raddau helaeth tuag at fudd.
English: Cabinet Secretary, I rise today not so much to pose a question, but simply to say that UKIP unreservedly welcomes and congratulates the Welsh Government on this investment, particularly as it's in an area that is one of the most deprived in Wales, and I'm absolutely certain that the constituents of Ebbw Vale will wholeheartedly welcome this announcement. TVR ticks all the boxes as far as desirability is concerned: a high-tech iconic brand and a global image for design excellence, with a proven and loyal customer base. There is huge export potential from the newly emerging wealthy economies for this designer-style vehicle. If we are to expand our manufacturing base in Wales, I see no better recipient for funding than this type of company. Again, I congratulate the Welsh Government on this announcement. Perhaps there is a question: when can we have more of the same?
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, rwy'n codi heddiw, nid yn gymaint i ofyn cwestiwn, ond er mwyn dweud bod UKIP yn croesawu ac yn llongyfarch Llywodraeth Cymru ar y buddsoddiad hwn, yn enwedig gan ei fod yn un o ardaloedd mwyaf difreintiedig Cymru, ac rwy'n gwbl sicr y bydd etholwyr Glyn Ebwy yn croesawu'r cyhoeddiad hwn yn llwyr. Mae TVR yn ticio'r holl flychau o ran dymunoldeb: brand uwch-dechnoleg eiconig a delwedd fyd-eang o ragoriaeth ym maes dylunio, gyda sylfaen gwsmeriaid brofedig a ffyddlon. Mae cryn botensial i allforio cerbydau dyluniedig o'r fath i economïau cyfoethog sy'n dod i'r amlwg. Os ydym yn awyddus i ehangu ein sylfaen weithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru, ni allaf feddwl am neb gwell na'r math hwn o gwmni i dderbyn cyllid. Unwaith eto, rwy'n llongyfarch Llywodraeth Cymru ar y cyhoeddiad hwn. Efallai fod gennyf gwestiwn: pryd y gallwn gael mwy o'r un peth?
English: Thank you. You redeemed yourself there in your last statement.
Welsh: Diolch. Fe achuboch eich hun gyda'ch datganiad olaf.
English: Can I thank the Member for his endorsement of our decision to invest in TVR? I share his belief in the company. It has one of the biggest followings of enthusiasts of the brand of any British motor manufacturer, and I think the naming of this particular car the Chimaera, as well, recognises the strong heritage that the brand has. In the past, there have been two Chimaeras; this is the third. Currently, if you're looking at investing in a classic car, it's said that the Cerbera and the original Chimaera are two of the fastest rising classic cars available at the moment. I'm in no doubt that the new Chimaera, to be produced from next year, will prove equally popular, not just amongst existing enthusiasts of TVR, but also amongst new purchasers globally.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am groesawu ein penderfyniad i fuddsoddi yn TVR? Rwy'n rhannu ei ffydd yn y cwmni. Maent yn un o'r gweithgynhyrchwyr modurol ym Mhrydain sydd â'r nifer fwyaf o selogion brand, a chredaf fod enwi'r car penodol hwn yn Chimaera hefyd yn cydnabod treftadaeth gref y brand. Yn y gorffennol, bu dau Chimaera; hwn yw'r trydydd. Ar hyn o bryd, os ydych yn bwriadu buddsoddi mewn hen gar, dywedir bod y Cerbera a'r Chimaera gwreiddiol ymhlith yr hen geir sy'n cynyddu gyflymaf o ran gwerth ar hyn o bryd. Rwy'n sicr y bydd y Chimaera newydd, a fydd yn cael ei gynhyrchu o'r flwyddyn nesaf ymlaen, yr un mor boblogaidd, nid yn unig ymysg selogion presennol TVR, ond hefyd ymhlith prynwyr newydd ledled y byd.
English: I thank the Minister for his answers so far. I want to make it quite clear that we're very supportive of Government support for companies, especially when they offer exciting and dynamic propositions. Where we do have concern is where other businesses point to support being given to companies, and they themselves are refused support. In particular, they draw attention to the last set of published accounts from TVR that clearly indicate, and I read from the accounts, that the £2 million loan has been given by the Welsh Government, and it goes on to say that the lender - that is your good self - 'has indicated that they have no intention of demanding repayment' of this loan. I do think that does need clarifying, because it doesn't go on to say that that money would be repayable in five years' time, as the Minister has indicated, or it's on commercial terms. That statement is, from just an observational point of view, quite misleading. It also says that the company is obliged to raise an additional £5.5 million of equity. The Minister has indicated that the Welsh Government have put £500,000-odd in as an equity stake. Could he also inform us how much of that £5.5 million of equity has been raised, separate to the £0.5 million that the Welsh Government has put in, to give us an indication of how much confidence other investors have in what, potentially, if it comes through as promised, could be an exciting development for Blaenau Gwent?
Welsh: Diolch i'r Gweinidog am ei atebion hyd yn hyn. Hoffwn ddweud yn glir ein bod yn llwyr gefnogi cymorth y Llywodraeth i gwmnïau, yn enwedig pan fônt yn gynigion cyffrous a dynamig. Yr hyn sy'n peri pryder inni yw pan fo busnesau eraill yn nodi bod cymorth yn cael ei roi i gwmnïau, a gwrthodir cymorth iddynt hwy. Yn benodol, maent yn tynnu sylw at y set ddiwethaf o gyfrifon a gyhoeddwyd gan TVR sy'n nodi'n glir, ac rwy'n darllen o'r cyfrifon, fod y benthyciad o £2 miliwn wedi'i roi gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ac aiff ymlaen i ddweud bod y benthyciwr - sef chi - wedi nodi nad oes ganddynt unrhyw fwriad i fynnu bod y benthyciad yn cael ei ad-dalu Credaf fod angen egluro hynny, gan nad yw'n mynd ymlaen i ddweud y byddai'r arian hwnnw yn ad-daladwy ymhen pum mlynedd, fel y nododd y Gweinidog, neu ei fod ar delerau masnachol. Mae'r datganiad hwnnw, o safbwynt arsylwadol, yn eithaf camarweiniol. Dywed hefyd fod yn rhaid i'r cwmni godi £5.5 miliwn yn ychwanegol o ecwiti. Mae'r Gweinidog wedi nodi bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cyfrannu oddeutu £500,000 fel cyfran ecwiti. A all roi gwybod inni hefyd faint o'r £5.5 miliwn hwnnw o ecwiti a godwyd, ar wahân i'r £0.5 miliwn a gyfrannwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, i roi arwydd inni o faint o hyder sydd gan fuddsoddwyr eraill yn yr hyn a allai fod, o bosibl, os caiff ei gyflawni fel yr addawyd, yn ddatblygiad cyffrous i Flaenau Gwent?
