English: Thank you very much for raising this. The issue of school budgets has been one that has been well rehearsed in this Chamber, as has been our frustration with the lack of information forthcoming from the Treasury. Earlier this month, the First Minister wrote jointly with local government leaders to escalate the issue of the increased cost of teachers' pensions directly to the Chancellor, and we have only now had a response to our request for clarity around the UK Government's pension changes and funding for these costs in Wales, following requests that actually date back to last October. So, the UK Government's response is very late in the day, just as public sector bodies are trying to set their budgets for 2019-20, and I had the opportunity to raise this directly with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury when I met her last Friday. In my discussions with her, she did agree to provide me with some further detail. I am awaiting this, but expect it shortly. When we have that final detail, we'll be able to work through what it means for our public sector bodies, and I hope to provide them with as much clarity as possible as soon as possible. But I would confirm that, as previously indicated, my intention to passport on any funding we receive for this purpose to public sector bodies in Wales to assist them with these costs remains. I share your ambition for local authorities to be building council houses at scale and at pace, and you'll be aware that, as part of our housing pact with Community Housing Cymru, and as part of our efforts to meet the 20,000 affordable homes target, local authorities are expected to deliver around 1,000 of those new homes. I look forward very much to hearing about the outcomes of the affordable housing review, which will also look at how we can support local authorities to start building at scale and pace. I know Mike Hedges has raised the issue of the borrowing cap several times in the Chamber, and I'm pleased to confirm that officials have been in contact with our local authorities, and all 11 local authorities who were subsequently subject to the voluntary agreements that enabled them to exit the former housing revenue account subsidy system have now agreed that they would like those voluntary agreements to be terminated. So, I'm very much looking forward to local authorities starting to build at scale and pace.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am godi hyn. Mae cyllidebau ysgol yn fater sydd wedi ei drafod droeon yn y Siambr hon, yn ogystal â'n rhwystredigaeth ynghylch y diffyg gwybodaeth gan y Trysorlys. Yn gynharach y mis hwn, fe ysgrifennodd y Prif Weinidog ar y cyd ag arweinwyr llywodraeth leol i uwch-gyfeirio mater cost gynyddol pensiynau athrawon yn uniongyrchol i'r Canghellor, a dim ond yn awr yr ydym wedi cael ymateb i'n cais am esboniad ynglŷn â newidiadau pensiwn Llywodraeth y DU ac arian ar gyfer y costau hyn yng Nghymru, yn dilyn ceisiadau sydd, mewn gwirionedd, yn mynd yn ôl i fis Hydref diwethaf. Felly, mae ymateb Llywodraeth y DU yn hwyr iawn, wrth i gyrff y sector cyhoeddus geisio pennu eu cyllidebau ar gyfer 2019-20, ac fe gefais y cyfle i godi hyn yn uniongyrchol â Phrif Ysgrifennydd y Trysorlys pan gyfarfûm â hi ddydd Gwener diwethaf. Yn fy nhrafodaethau â hi, fe wnaeth hi gytuno i roi rhagor o fanylion imi. Rwyf yn aros amdanynt, ond yn eu disgwyl cyn bo hir. Pan fydd y manylion terfynol gennym, fe fyddwn yn gallu gweithio drwy'r hyn y mae'n ei olygu i'n cyrff sector cyhoeddus, ac rwy'n gobeithio rhoi cymaint o eglurder â phosibl iddyn nhw cyn gynted â phosibl. Ond, fe wnaf gadarnhau, fel yr wyf eisoes wedi nodi, mai fy mwriad i o hyd yw pasio unrhyw arian a gawn at y diben hwn i gyrff y sector cyhoeddus yng Nghymru i'w cynorthwyo â'r costau hyn. Rwy'n rhannu eich uchelgais i weld awdurdodau lleol yn adeiladu tai cyngor yn gyflym ac ar raddfa fawr, a byddwch yn ymwybodol, yn rhan o'n cytundeb tai â Chartrefi Cymunedol Cymru, ac yn rhan o'n hymdrechion i gyrraedd y targed o 20,000 o gartrefi fforddiadwy, y disgwylir i'r awdurdodau lleol ddarparu tua 1,000 o'r cartrefi newydd hynny. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at glywed am ganlyniadau'r arolwg tai fforddiadwy, a fydd hefyd yn ystyried sut y gallwn ni gefnogi awdurdodau lleol i ddechrau adeiladu yn gyflym ac ar raddfa fawr. Gwn fod Mike Hedges wedi codi mater y cap benthyca droeon yn y Siambr, ac rwy'n falch o gadarnhau bod swyddogion wedi bod mewn cysylltiad â'n hawdurdodau lleol, a bod pob un o'r 11 o awdurdodau lleol a oedd yn dilyn hynny yn ddarostyngedig i'r cytundebau gwirfoddol a oedd yn eu galluogi nhw i adael hen system cymhorthdal y cyfrif refeniw tai bellach wedi cytuno eu bod yn dymuno i'r cytundebau gwirfoddol hynny gael eu terfynu. Felly, rwy'n edrych ymlaen yn fawr iawn at weld awdurdodau lleol yn dechrau adeiladu yn gyflym ac ar raddfa fawr.
