English: Minister, can I thank you for your statement and the constructive way that you have been working with opposition spokespeople? You mention that you are urging the UK Government Ministers to involve you in discussions, and I wonder if you've also extended an invitation to UK Government Ministers to be involved in your discussions in terms of the next phase of the economic resilience fund. I am particularly pleased that you've given a date for the next phase of the economic resilience fund, but I'm a bit disappointed why it's so far off. I've been telling businesses that have been contacting my office, some on a daily basis, that 'It's coming soon.' That was three or four weeks ago. The next fund, if it's not available for the middle of June, that's three, four weeks away yet, and if applications are not open until the end of June, I think that's a long time for businesses to wait. Is there any way at all that you can bring that forward and perhaps explain the rationale about why that date is there? You've also said, and perhaps you can clarify this, that people will be able to prepare their applications in advance of the fund. What I don't understand is how they can do that if they don't know what the eligible criteria are. And if the checker isn't available until the middle of June, how on earth can they apply in advance if that's the case? In regard to VAT, you've specifically said that this is for limited companies only. This was a big concern raised by businesses: if they're not registered for VAT, they're not eligible. There are very few businesses that are limited that are not registered for VAT. The businesses that were raising these concerns are almost certainly not going to be VAT registered and you will be aware of the gaps. If you can give us any more indication about those gaps in business support that will be phased by phase 2, and I'm particularly thinking about businesses that started back in April 2019 that have still not been able to access any funds at all. I wonder if you could give us any hope for those businesses as well.
Welsh: Weinidog, a gaf fi ddiolch i chi am eich datganiad a'r ffordd adeiladol y buoch yn gweithio gyda llefarwyr yr wrthblaid? Fe soniwch eich bod yn annog Gweinidogion Llywodraeth y DU i'ch cynnwys mewn trafodaethau, a tybed a ydych chi hefyd wedi estyn gwahoddiad i Weinidogion Llywodraeth y DU fod yn rhan o'ch trafodaethau chi ar gam nesaf y gronfa cadernid economaidd. Rwy'n arbennig o falch eich bod wedi rhoi dyddiad ar gyfer cam nesaf y gronfa cadernid economaidd, ond rwy'n siomedig braidd ei fod mor bell i ffwrdd. Rwyf wedi bod yn dweud wrth fusnesau a fu'n cysylltu â fy swyddfa, yn ddyddiol rai ohonynt, ei fod 'yn dod yn fuan.' Roedd hynny dair neu bedair wythnos yn ôl. Os nad yw'r gronfa nesaf ar gael ar gyfer canol mis Mehefin, mae hynny dair, bedair wythnos i ffwrdd eto, ac os na fydd ceisiadau'n agor tan ddiwedd mis Mehefin, rwy'n credu bod hynny'n amser hir i fusnesau aros. A oes unrhyw ffordd o gwbl y gallwch wneud hynny'n gynt, ac egluro'r rheswm pam dewis y dyddiad hwnnw efallai? Rydych chi wedi dweud hefyd, ac efallai y gallwch chi egluro hyn, y bydd pobl yn gallu paratoi eu ceisiadau cyn i'r gronfa ddod i fodolaeth. Nid wyf yn deall sut y gallant wneud hynny os nad ydynt yn gwybod beth yw'r meini prawf cymhwysedd. Ac os nad yw'r gwiriwr ar gael tan ganol mis Mehefin, sut ar y ddaear y gallant wneud cais ymlaen llaw os yw hynny'n wir? O ran TAW, rydych chi wedi dweud yn benodol mai ar gyfer cwmnïau cyfyngedig yn unig y mae hyn. Roedd hwn yn bryder mawr a godwyd gan fusnesau: os nad ydynt wedi'u cofrestru ar gyfer TAW, nid ydynt yn gymwys. Mae yna ychydig iawn o fusnesau cyfyngedig sydd heb eu cofrestru ar gyfer TAW. Mae hi bron yn sicr nad yw'r busnesau a oedd yn mynegi'r pryderon hyn wedi'u cofrestru ar gyfer TAW, ac fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol o'r bylchau. Os gallwch roi mwy o syniad i ni am y bylchau yn y cymorth i fusnesau a gaiff eu dileu'n raddol erbyn cam 2, ac rwy'n meddwl yn arbennig am fusnesau a ddechreuodd yn ôl ym mis Ebrill 2019 nad ydynt wedi gallu cael unrhyw arian o gwbl o hyd. Tybed a allech roi unrhyw obaith i'r busnesau hynny hefyd.
