English: Can I thank you, First Minister, for your statement? And I look forward to further scrutinising the details of your proposals in the coming months. However, I must say, from the outset, that I am very disappointed that you have chosen to politicise this statement and to suggest that Conservatives, whenever they are in Government, take a confrontational approach. That is not right, because, as a Conservative, I very much agree with you that these issues should be approached in a collaborative way. I believe I speak, though, on behalf of all businesses who are disappointed by what you had to say today who have undertaken this collaborative approach, and will probably now feel more pressure to comply with these plans. Now, the businesses I've spoken to believe this voluntary approach has worked over the years, and indeed is working. Now, as you know, the 'Good Work Plan' already commits to ensuring that workers can receive fair and decent work, and I understand legislation will be brought forward at a UK level to provide workers with the right to request more stable contracts. Now, in your statement today, First Minister, you make it clear the present model of a voluntary social partnership has reached the limit of its effectiveness. Are you saying that this model has, therefore, failed, given that this has been the policy of successive Welsh Labour Governments over the last 20 years? I'm sure successive Welsh Governments would disagree with you on that. First Minister, I'm sure you will agree with me that this approach needs much more work, and therefore shouldn't be just rushed through this Parliament. Now, whether we like it or not, 43,000 people are currently employed on zero-hours contracts, and, of course, the effects of the social partnership Act should be carefully considered through a consultation, in my view, as should all aspects of the effects that the Act will have on both Welsh workers and businesses. Surely only when a comprehensive consultation is completed and reported back to the Assembly should it then decide on the most appropriate course of action, rather than just first legislating for a Bill that has not yet been consulted upon with those that it would impact the most. Will you, therefore, First Minister, commit to holding a comprehensive consultation with all stakeholders so that everyone's views are actually taken into consideration? And if you don't commit to this, what steps will you be taking in order to ensure that trade unions act in the interests of their members, that business organisations act in the interests of their members, and that the public voice is heard loud and clear as well? Now, I appreciate people will have different views on zero-hours contracts and the effect this can have on working people. And you will be aware, First Minister, that the Taylor review of modern working practices reports that one fifth of people on zero-hours contracts are in full-time education. And, apparently, 68 per cent of those on such contracts do not want more hours. Therefore, it's crucial, I think, that we continue to create opportunity for flexible employment for those who want it. Can you therefore outline how this proposed social partnership Act will continue to allow for flexible employment for those who rely on flexible employment, but at the same time still protecting workers' rights? I'd be grateful if you would perhaps expand on this, because I agree that we must deal with less scrupulous employers, but we must also ensure a flexible economy going forward as well. First Minister, the Minister for Housing and Local Government's written statement this morning said that the new social partnership and fair work directorate will be positioned within the office of the First Minister and Brexit. However, the report recommends that the office of fair work not be positioned within a particular department. Will this mean, therefore, that you, as First Minister, will have direct control over the establishment and direction of that directorate? And how will you ensure that this new department will actually operate across the whole of Government, given that it will actually be located under you? So, with that, Deputy Presiding Officer, can I thank you, First Minister for your statement this afternoon? I and my colleagues look forward to scrutinising your plans further over the coming weeks and over the coming months.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i chi, Prif Weinidog, am eich datganiad? Ac edrychaf ymlaen at graffu ymhellach ar fanylion eich cynigion yn ystod y misoedd nesaf. Fodd bynnag, rhaid imi ddweud, o'r cychwyn cyntaf, fy mod yn siomedig iawn eich bod wedi dewis gwleidyddoli'r datganiad hwn ac awgrymu bod y Ceidwadwyr, pryd bynnag y bônt mewn Llywodraeth, yn mynd ati mewn ysbryd o wrthdaro. Nid yw hynny'n gywir, oherwydd, a minnau'n Geidwadwr, cytunaf yn llwyr â chi y dylid ymdrin â'r materion hyn mewn ffordd gydweithredol. Credaf fy mod yn siarad, fodd bynnag, ar ran pob busnes sy'n siomedig â'r hyn a oedd gennych chi i'w ddweud heddiw sydd wedi ymgymryd â'r dull cydweithredol hwn, ac a fydd nawr, mae'n debyg, yn teimlo mwy o bwysau i gydymffurfio â'r cynlluniau hyn. Nawr, mae'r busnesau yr wyf wedi siarad â nhw'n credu bod y dull gwirfoddol hwn wedi gweithio dros y blynyddoedd, ac yn wir ei fod yn dal i weithio. Nawr, fel y gwyddoch chi, mae'r 'Cynllun Gwaith Da' eisoes yn ymrwymo i sicrhau y gall gweithwyr gael gwaith teg o safon, ac rwy'n deall y bydd deddfwriaeth yn cael ei chyflwyno ar lefel y DU i roi'r hawl i weithwyr ofyn am gontractau mwy sefydlog. Nawr, yn eich datganiad heddiw, Prif Weinidog, rydych chi'n egluro bod y model presennol o bartneriaeth gymdeithasol wirfoddol wedi cyrraedd terfyn ei effeithiolrwydd. A ydych chi'n dweud bod y model hwn, felly, wedi methu, o gofio y bu hwn yn bolisi gan Lywodraethau olynol Llafur Cymru dros yr 20 mlynedd diwethaf? Rwy'n siŵr y byddai llywodraethau olynol Cymru yn anghytuno â chi ar hynny. Prif Weinidog, rwy'n siŵr y cytunwch chi â mi fod angen llawer mwy o waith ar y dull hwn, ac felly na ddylid ei ruthro drwy'r Senedd hon. Nawr, pa un a ydym yn hoffi hynny ai peidio, mae 43,000 o bobl yn cael eu cyflogi ar gontractau dim oriau ar hyn o bryd, ac, wrth gwrs, dylid ystyried effeithiau'r Ddeddf partneriaeth gymdeithasol yn ofalus drwy ymgynghoriad, yn fy marn i, fel y dylid ei wneud gyda phob agwedd ar effeithiau'r Ddeddf ar weithwyr a busnesau Cymru. Siawns mai dim ond ar ôl cwblhau ymgynghoriad cynhwysfawr ac adrodd yn ôl i'r Cynulliad y dylid penderfynu wedyn ar y dull gweithredu mwyaf priodol, yn hytrach na dim ond deddfu'n gyntaf ar Fil na fu ymgynghori arno eto gyda'r rhai y byddai'n effeithio arnynt fwyaf. A wnewch chi, felly, Prif Weinidog, ymrwymo i gynnal ymgynghoriad cynhwysfawr â'r holl randdeiliaid fel bod barn pawb yn cael ei hystyried mewn gwirionedd? Ac os nad ydych chi'n ymrwymo i hyn, beth fyddwch chi'n ei wneud er mwyn sicrhau bod undebau llafur yn gweithredu er budd eu haelodau, bod sefydliadau busnes yn gweithredu er budd eu haelodau, a bod llais y cyhoedd yn cael ei glywed yn uchel ac yn glir hefyd? Nawr, rwy'n gwerthfawrogi y bydd gan bobl farn wahanol am gontractau dim oriau a'r effaith y gall hyn ei chael ar bobl sy'n gweithio. A byddwch yn ymwybodol, Prif Weinidog, fod adolygiad Taylor o arferion gwaith modern yn dweud bod un rhan o bump o bobl ar gontractau dim oriau mewn addysg amser llawn. Ac, yn ôl pob golwg, nid yw 68 y cant o'r rhai sydd ar gontractau o'r fath eisiau mwy o oriau. Felly, mae'n hollbwysig, rwy'n credu, ein bod yn parhau i greu cyfle ar gyfer cyflogaeth hyblyg i'r rhai hynny sydd ei heisiau. A allwch chi amlinellu felly sut y bydd y Ddeddf partneriaeth gymdeithasol arfaethedig hon yn parhau i ganiatáu cyflogaeth hyblyg i'r rhai sy'n dibynnu ar gyflogaeth hyblyg, ond yn dal i ddiogelu hawliau gweithwyr ar yr un pryd? Byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe baech chi efallai'n ymhelaethu ar hyn, oherwydd rwy'n cytuno bod yn rhaid inni fynd i'r afael â chyflogwyr llai egwyddorol, ond rhaid inni hefyd sicrhau economi hyblyg yn y dyfodol hefyd. Prif Weinidog, yn natganiad ysgrifenedig y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol y bore yma, dywedwyd y bydd y gyfarwyddiaeth partneriaeth gymdeithasol a gwaith teg newydd yn swyddfa'r Prif Weinidog a Brexit. Fodd bynnag, mae'r adroddiad yn argymell na ddylai'r swyddfa gwaith teg fod mewn adran benodol. A fydd hyn yn golygu, felly, y bydd gennych chi, y Prif Weinidog, reolaeth uniongyrchol dros sefydlu a chyfeiriad y gyfarwyddiaeth honno? A sut fyddwch chi'n sicrhau y bydd yr adran newydd hon yn gweithredu ar draws y Llywodraeth gyfan, o gofio y bydd mewn gwirionedd oddi tanoch chi? Felly, gyda hynny, Dirprwy Lywydd, a gaf i ddiolch i chi, Prif Weinidog, am eich datganiad y prynhawn yma? Rwyf i a'm cyd-Aelodau yn edrych ymlaen at graffu ar eich cynlluniau ymhellach dros yr wythnosau nesaf a thros y misoedd nesaf.
