English: The first item this afternoon is questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government, and the first question is from Luke Fletcher.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf sydd gyda ni y prynhawn yma yw'r cwestiynau i'r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol, ac mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf gan Luke Fletcher.
English: Our 2022-23 draft budget has provided over £400 million to the social justice portfolio up to 2024-25, including an additional £16.5 million in a range of targeted interventions to tackle inequality, to advance and strengthen equality and human rights, improve outcomes for people and contribute to a more equal Wales.
Welsh: Mae ein cyllideb ddrafft ar gyfer 2022-23 wedi darparu dros £400 miliwn i'r portffolio cyfiawnder cymdeithasol hyd at 2024-25, gan gynnwys £16.5 miliwn yn ychwanegol mewn amrywiaeth o ymyriadau wedi'u targedu i fynd i'r afael ag anghydraddoldeb, hybu a chryfhau cydraddoldeb a hawliau dynol, gwella canlyniadau i bobl a chyfrannu at Gymru fwy cyfartal.
English: Thank you, Minister, and of course, as a member of Plaid Cymru, it's a subject of pride to see a number of policies that Plaid Cymru and others have been campaigning for to tackle poverty being implemented in the Government in the wake of the co-operation agreement.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog, ac wrth gwrs, fel aelod o Blaid Cymru, mae'n destun balchder i weld nifer o bolisïau y mae Plaid Cymru ac eraill wedi bod yn ymgyrchu drostynt i daclo tlodi yn cael eu gweithredu yn y Llywodraeth yn sgil y cytundeb cydweithio.
English: Further to the First Minister's answer to me on the topic of tackling poverty and the role the education maintenance allowance can play, on 14 December, I noted that he estimated that the total cost of increasing EMA payments to £45, as well as increasing the threshold to make it easier for people to access, would cost roughly £10 million. Of course, I recognise the constraints on Welsh Government finance, but given the cost-of-living crisis and the fact we know that families with children are generally more likely to experience poverty, could the Minister give me an assurance that, when further funding is available, the Government seriously looks at expanding EMA and increasing the payments, even if it's through a phased approach? It was a great help to me when I was a kid and I know it would be an even greater help to families if it was expanded further.
Welsh: Yn dilyn ateb y Prif Weinidog i mi mewn perthynas â threchu tlodi a'r rôl y gall y lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg ei chwarae, ar 14 Rhagfyr, nodais ei fod yn amcangyfrif y byddai cynyddu taliadau'r lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg i £45, yn ogystal â chynyddu'r trothwy i'w wneud yn fwy hygyrch, yn costio £10 miliwn yn fras. Wrth gwrs, rwy'n cydnabod y cyfyngiadau ar gyllid Llywodraeth Cymru, ond o ystyried yr argyfwng costau byw a'r ffaith ein bod yn gwybod bod teuluoedd â phlant yn fwy tebygol, yn gyffredinol, o fod yn byw mewn tlodi, a allai'r Gweinidog roi sicrwydd i mi, pan fydd cyllid pellach ar gael, y bydd y Llywodraeth yn edrych o ddifrif ar ehangu'r lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg a chynyddu'r taliadau, hyd yn oed os gwneir hynny drwy ddull graddol? Roedd yn gymorth mawr i mi pan oeddwn yn blentyn a gwn y byddai'n gymorth mwy byth i deuluoedd pe bai'n cael ei ehangu ymhellach.
English: Thank you very much for raising this issue. We remain really proud in Wales of the work that we've done to retain the EMA, and also very proud of the work that we're doing jointly with Plaid Cymru in respect of many items in the co-operation agreement relating to poverty, not least our free-school-meal pledge, which will invest an additional £90 million up to 2024-25 to deliver this commitment in stages, as local authorities are able to expand their work in this particular area. With regard to EMA, obviously, we'll have to keep that matter under review. We've taken a different approach to our budget over the next three years, allocating essentially all available funding at this point in order to maximise funding and avoid the risk of underspends emerging in years, and so on. So, we have taken a slightly different approach this year in terms of giving ourselves less flexibility, but I know that Luke Fletcher makes a strong case in support of the EMA, which obviously we would want to keep under review.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am godi'r mater hwn. Rydym yn parhau i fod yn wirioneddol falch yng Nghymru o'r gwaith rydym wedi'i wneud i gadw'r lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg, ac yn falch iawn hefyd o'r gwaith rydym yn ei wneud ar y cyd â Phlaid Cymru ar lawer o eitemau yn y cytundeb cydweithio sy'n ymwneud â thlodi, yn enwedig ein haddewid prydau ysgol am ddim, a fydd yn buddsoddi £90 miliwn yn ychwanegol hyd at 2024-25 i gyflawni'r ymrwymiad hwn fesul cam, wrth i awdurdodau lleol allu ehangu eu gwaith yn y maes penodol hwn. Ar y lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg, yn amlwg, bydd yn rhaid inni barhau i adolygu'r mater hwnnw. Rydym wedi mabwysiadu ymagwedd wahanol at ein cyllideb dros y tair blynedd nesaf, gan ddyrannu'r holl gyllid sydd ar gael ar hyn o bryd, yn y bôn, er mwyn darparu cymaint o gyllid â phosibl ac osgoi'r risg o danwariant yn codi o fewn blynyddoedd ac ati. Felly, rydym wedi mabwysiadu ymagwedd ychydig yn wahanol eleni gan roi llai o hyblygrwydd i ni'n hunain, ond gwn fod Luke Fletcher yn dadlau achos cryf o blaid y lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg, a byddem yn awyddus i'w adolygu'n barhaus, yn amlwg.
English: As the Minister will be aware, the equality and community cohesion budget will increase from £12.7 million in 2022-23 to £20.8 million in 2024-25. This equates to an increase of 64 per cent. From what I can understand, this represents the main increase in social justice expenditure. I'm in no way criticising the allocation of this money to the equality and community cohesion budget. Certainly, the economic impact of lockdown has exacerbated many of the inequalities that people already face and it is right that the disproportionate hardship that they are facing is recognised. But I'm interested in further understanding how such a large percentage increase can be sustained and how it can be factored into budgets beyond 2024-25, because I could see a real issue develop where organisations are geared up for receiving larger budgets only then to be pushed to the wall later on when they are subsequently starved of funding. With this in mind, could the Minister explain whether or not it is the intention of the Welsh Government to sustain or expand upon this level of funding post 2024-25? Thank you.
Welsh: Fel y gŵyr y Gweinidog, bydd y gyllideb cydraddoldeb a chydlyniant cymunedol yn cynyddu o £12.7 miliwn yn 2022-23 i £20.8 miliwn yn 2024-25. Mae hyn yn cyfateb i gynnydd o 64 y cant. O'r hyn a ddeallaf, dyma'r prif gynnydd yn y gwariant cyfiawnder cymdeithasol. Nid wyf yn beirniadu dyraniad yr arian hwn i'r gyllideb cydraddoldeb a chydlyniant cymunedol mewn unrhyw ffordd. Yn sicr, mae effaith economaidd y cyfyngiadau symud wedi gwaethygu llawer o'r anghydraddoldebau y mae pobl eisoes yn eu hwynebu ac mae'n iawn cydnabod y caledi anghymesur y maent yn ei wynebu. Ond mae gennyf ddiddordeb mewn deall ymhellach sut y gellir cynnal cynnydd canrannol mor fawr a sut y gellir ei gynnwys mewn cyllidebau y tu hwnt i 2024-25, gan y gallaf weld problem wirioneddol yn datblygu lle mae sefydliadau'n disgwyl derbyn cyllidebau mwy o faint, ond yn ei chael hi'n anodd yn nes ymlaen pan fyddant yn cael llai o gyllid. Gyda hyn mewn golwg, a allai'r Gweinidog egluro a yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu cynnal neu ehangu ar y lefel hon o gyllid ar ôl 2024-25 ai peidio? Diolch.
English: Thank you for raising this. In many respects, what we're able to do beyond 2024-25 does depend on the funding the Welsh Government receives from the UK Government through any future comprehensive spending review. And it has been good that, in this spending period, we have had a three-year outlook for spending. We haven't had that since 2017, so it has enabled us and organisations and public services to look ahead and to plan much better for the years ahead. And I think what happens beyond 2024-25 will be subject to further discussions we'll have much closer to that date with the UK Government, but I would certainly hope that we would see favourable settlements beyond the current spending period.
Welsh: Diolch am godi'r mater hwn. Mewn sawl ffordd, mae'r hyn y gallwn ei wneud y tu hwnt i 2024-25 yn dibynnu ar y cyllid y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei gael gan Lywodraeth y DU drwy unrhyw adolygiad cynhwysfawr o wariant yn y dyfodol. Ac mae'n wych ein bod, yn y cyfnod gwariant hwn, wedi cael rhagolwg tair blynedd o wariant. Nid ydym wedi cael hynny ers 2017, felly mae hyn wedi ein galluogi ni a sefydliadau a gwasanaethau cyhoeddus i edrych ymlaen ac i gynllunio'n llawer gwell ar gyfer y blynyddoedd i ddod. A chredaf y bydd yr hyn sy'n digwydd y tu hwnt i 2024-25 yn destun trafodaethau pellach y byddwn yn eu cael yn llawer agosach at y dyddiad hwnnw gyda Llywodraeth y DU, ond yn sicr, rwy'n gobeithio y byddem yn cael setliadau ffafriol y tu hwnt i'r cyfnod gwariant presennol.
English: Local authority and family budgets are feeling the effects of energy bills at an all-time high, mounting food costs and the highest inflation rates in a decade. The UK Government must take urgent action to tackle the cost-of-living crisis. The last UK Government budget was a missed opportunity.
Welsh: Mae cyllidebau awdurdodau lleol a theuluoedd yn teimlo effaith biliau ynni sydd ar eu lefel uchaf erioed, costau bwyd cynyddol, a'r cyfraddau chwyddiant uchaf ers degawd. Mae'n rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU gymryd camau brys i fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng costau byw. Roedd cyllideb ddiwethaf Llywodraeth y DU yn gyfle a gollwyd.
English: Well, there is a cost-of-living tsunami breaking around us, isn't there, Minister? And once again, local authorities, among others of course, will be in the eye of the storm as they continue to deal on the one hand with the challenges of COVID, whilst also having to step in with additional support as people rely more on their services, because they can't afford to pay their rent, or heat their homes, or buy food. Now, the response to the COVID crisis, of course, was swift and very substantial, and local authorities in Wales were given additional funding from you to respond to those huge pressures. Do you accept that it's entirely possible that the same kind of response will be needed to the cost-of-living crisis, and, if you do, then can you give an assurance that your Government is willing to step into the breach with additional support to local authorities to meet the additional demand placed upon them if that is required during the next financial year?
Welsh: Wel, mae yna tswnami costau byw yn torri o'n cwmpas ni, onid oes e, Weinidog? Ac unwaith eto, mi fydd awdurdodau lleol, ymhlith eraill wrth gwrs, yn nannedd y storm honno wrth iddyn nhw barhau i ddelio ar un llaw â heriau COVID, tra hefyd nawr yn gorfod camu mewn â chefnogaeth ychwanegol wrth i bobl bwyso'n drymach arnyn nhw am eu gwasanaethau, efallai am nad ydyn nhw'n gallu fforddio talu'r rhent, neu fforddio cynhesu cartrefi, neu fforddio prynu bwyd. Nawr, roedd yr ymateb i'r argyfwng COVID, wrth gwrs, yn un sydyn ac yn un sylweddol iawn, ac fe gafodd awdurdodau lleol Cymru gyllid ychwanegol gennych chi i ymateb i'r pwysau aruthrol hwnnw. Ydych chi'n derbyn ei bod hi'n gwbl bosib y bydd angen yr un math o ymateb i'r argyfwng costau byw, ac, os ydych chi, a allwch chi roi sicrwydd bod eich Llywodraeth chi yn barod i gamu i'r adwy â chefnogaeth ychwanegol i awdurdodau lleol i gwrdd â'r galw ychwanegol fydd arnyn nhw os bydd angen hynny yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf?
English: Apologies in advance, as I'll follow the same theme as Llyr, if I may, but I'm conscious of your answer, Minister. As we know, the pandemic has had a substantial economic impact on families and resulted in more people needing access to financial advice and support. Councils are often the first port of call for people, and offer an important source of help and advice, and so increasing demand for support will have cost implications for councils, and pressures will no doubt rise as more help is required for individuals, communities and many other groups across the wider community. As I understand it, the Welsh Government's single advice fund is available to local authorities, but only if the funded services are to be planned and delivered on a regional basis. Therefore, Minister, I wondered what consideration has the Welsh Government given to relaxing the single advice service criteria to allow councils to more easily access funding so that they can expand their local support services in a far quicker and targeted way? And what else is the Welsh Government doing to help councils to provide additional support to those who need it? Thank you.
Welsh: Ymddiheuriadau ymlaen llaw, gan fy mod am ddilyn yr un thema â Llyr, os caf, ond rwy'n ymwybodol o'ch ateb, Weinidog. Fel y gwyddom, mae'r pandemig wedi cael effaith economaidd sylweddol ar deuluoedd, ac wedi arwain at fwy o bobl sydd angen mynediad at gymorth a chyngor ariannol. Yn aml, cynghorau yw'r man cyswllt cyntaf i bobl, ac maent yn cynnig ffynhonnell bwysig o gymorth a chyngor, ac felly bydd y galw cynyddol am gymorth yn arwain at oblygiadau o ran costau i gynghorau, a bydd y pwysau'n cynyddu, heb os, wrth i unigolion, cymunedau a llawer o grwpiau eraill yn y gymuned ehangach fod angen mwy o gymorth. Yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf, ni fydd cronfa gynghori sengl Llywodraeth Cymru ar gael i awdurdodau lleol oni bai bod y gwasanaethau a ariennir yn cael eu cynllunio a'u darparu ar sail ranbarthol. Felly, Weinidog, tybed pa ystyriaeth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i rhoi i lacio'r meini prawf ar gyfer y gwasanaeth cynghori sengl er mwyn caniatáu i gynghorau gael mynediad haws at gyllid fel y gallant ehangu eu gwasanaethau cymorth lleol mewn ffordd lawer cyflymach ac wedi'i thargedu? A beth arall y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud i helpu cynghorau i ddarparu cymorth ychwanegol i'r rheini sydd ei angen? Diolch.
English: Thank you for raising the issue of the single advice fund. The policy behind that fund and the operation of it lie in the portfolio of my colleague the Minister for Social Justice, but I will make a point of having a conversation with her about that. And I also have the opportunity regularly to meet with leaders of local government, as you'll recall from not too long ago, and I will take an opportunity in one of those upcoming meetings to explore their thoughts on the single advice fund and what it means for them in terms of their ability to support their local residents.
Welsh: Diolch am godi mater y gronfa gynghori sengl. Mae'r polisi sy'n sail i'r gronfa honno a'r broses o'i rhoi ar waith yn rhan o bortffolio fy nghyd-Aelod, y Gweinidog Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol, ond byddaf yn sicrhau fy mod yn cael sgwrs gyda hi ynglŷn â hynny. Ac rwyf hefyd yn cael cyfle rheolaidd i gyfarfod ag arweinwyr llywodraeth leol, fel y byddwch yn cofio o ychydig yn ôl, a byddaf yn achub ar y cyfle yn un o'r cyfarfodydd hynny sydd i ddod i archwilio eu barn ar y gronfa gynghori sengl a'r hyn y mae'n ei olygu iddynt hwy o ran eu gallu i gefnogi eu trigolion lleol.
English: Questions now from the party spokespeople. The Welsh Conservative spokesperson, Sam Rowlands.
Welsh: Cwestiynau nawr gan lefarwyr y pleidiau. Llefarydd y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, Sam Rowlands.
English: Reform would be to make change, and, in the Welsh Government's context, obviously we don't want to make changes for the sake of changes, and we wouldn't want to make reforms that were regressive. So, within the context of council tax, for example, reform would be to create a more progressive system.
Welsh: Diwygio fyddai gwneud newid, ac yng nghyd-destun Llywodraeth Cymru, yn amlwg, nid ydym am wneud newidiadau er mwyn gwneud newidiadau, ac ni fyddem yn dymuno gwneud diwygiadau anflaengar. Felly, yng nghyd-destun y dreth gyngor, er enghraifft, byddai diwygio'n golygu creu system fwy blaengar.
English: Lovely, and thank you, Minister - you have well guessed my series of questions in terms of council tax reform; I'd hoped that was fairly obvious. As I'm sure all Members across the Chamber regularly do, I do take great interest in the co-operation agreement document that you are signed up to with Plaid Cymru, and in there, as you noted, when it comes to council tax reform, you have an ambition to reform one of the most regressive forms of taxation that disproportionately impacts poorer areas of Wales, and are looking to make it fairer. So, Minister, as you described this as one of the most regressive forms of taxation, how far will you go to reform it?
Welsh: Hyfryd, a diolch, Weinidog - rydych wedi dyfalu mai cyfres o gwestiynau ar ddiwygio'r dreth gyngor sydd gennyf; roeddwn wedi gobeithio bod hynny'n weddol amlwg. Fel pob Aelod ar draws y Siambr, rwy'n siŵr, mae gennyf gryn dipyn o ddiddordeb yn nogfen y cytundeb cydweithio rydych wedi ymrwymo iddo gyda Phlaid Cymru, ac ynddo, fel y nodoch chi, ar fater diwygio'r dreth gyngor, mae gennych uchelgais i ddiwygio un o'r ffurfiau mwyaf anflaengar ar drethu sy'n effeithio'n anghymesur ar ardaloedd tlotach o Gymru, ac rydych yn bwriadu ei wneud yn decach. Felly, Weinidog, gan ichi ddisgrifio hyn fel un o'r ffurfiau mwyaf anflaengar ar drethu, pa mor bell y byddwch yn mynd i'w ddiwygio?
English: Well, I made a statement on 7 December, providing our early thoughts in response to the work that we commissioned over the period of the last Senedd, which was published in our summary of findings. That pulled together various potential models for the future, as investigated by Bangor University, Cardiff University, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and others who have been doing work for us. So, our next steps, as set out in that statement, would be to look to a number of streams of work. One would be to ask the Valuation Office Agency to update the valuations here in Wales. That hasn't happened for some time; actually, it's existed in its current form - the council tax system has existed in its current form - since 1993, so we've got a lot of catching up to do in terms of recognising the value of properties. And that's a good start. That will help us then consider future options - for example, changing the number of bands, adding bands at the top and bottom of the system to try and make the system fairer. And, also, it will be the intention to review the council tax reduction scheme. So, at the moment, we're able to support over 200,000 families, households, across Wales in respect of council tax bills. So, we'll be reviewing that to make sure that the new system is coherent with whatever comes next after the valuation. Also, we'll be reviewing the discounts, disregards, exemptions and premiums to ensure that they're also relevant to today's policy ambitions.
Welsh: Wel, gwneuthum ddatganiad ar 7 Rhagfyr, yn nodi ein hymateb cynnar i'r gwaith a gomisiynwyd gennym dros gyfnod y Senedd ddiwethaf, a gyhoeddwyd yn ein crynodeb o'r canfyddiadau. Roedd hwnnw'n dod â modelau posibl ar gyfer y dyfodol ynghyd, fel yr ymchwiliwyd iddynt gan Brifysgol Bangor, Prifysgol Caerdydd, y Sefydliad Astudiaethau Cyllid ac eraill sydd wedi bod yn gwneud gwaith i ni. Felly, ein camau nesaf, fel y nodwyd yn y datganiad hwnnw, fyddai edrych ar nifer o ffrydiau gwaith. Un fyddai gofyn i Asiantaeth y Swyddfa Brisio ddiweddaru'r prisiadau yma yng Nghymru. Nid yw hynny wedi digwydd ers peth amser; mewn gwirionedd, mae wedi bodoli ar ei ffurf bresennol - mae system y dreth gyngor wedi bodoli ar ei ffurf bresennol - ers 1993, felly mae gennym lawer o waith dal i fyny i'w wneud ar adnabod gwerth eiddo. Ac mae hynny'n ddechrau da. Bydd hynny'n ein helpu wedyn i ystyried opsiynau ar gyfer y dyfodol - er enghraifft, newid nifer y bandiau, ychwanegu bandiau ar frig ac ar waelod y system i geisio gwneud y system yn decach. A'r bwriad hefyd yw adolygu cynllun gostyngiadau'r dreth gyngor. Felly, ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn gallu cefnogi dros 200,000 o deuluoedd, aelwydydd, ledled Cymru mewn perthynas â biliau'r dreth gyngor. Felly, byddwn yn adolygu hynny i sicrhau bod y system newydd yn gydlynol â beth bynnag a ddaw nesaf ar ôl y prisio. A byddwn hefyd yn adolygu gostyngiadau, diystyriadau, eithriadau a phremiymau i sicrhau eu bod hwythau'n berthnasol hefyd i uchelgeisiau polisi heddiw.
English: Thank you, Minister. I suppose the risk that I'm pointing toward is that we talk about reform, and talk, to my mind, to a more wholesale change, and some of the things you mentioned there perhaps aren't reform but are merely tweaks or tinkering around the edges. And simply a revaluation, with a couple of extra bands added, potentially, to council tax, isn't real reform. And, of course, it's important to note that the last time the Welsh Government undertook a revaluation in Wales, one in three households saw a hike in the council tax that they were paying. And I suppose it's also a risk that, without a real desire to see reform, we could be talking about this again in another five, 10 years' time, talking about the regressive nature of council tax but no real change being made to it, just merely tweaks here and there. So, Minister, are you able to assure us today that you have a real appetite to see changes in this area and to see true reform, rather than just tweaking things around the edges?
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Mae'n debyg mai'r risg rwy'n cyfeirio ati yw ein bod yn sôn am ddiwygio, ac yn sôn, yn fy marn i, am newid mwy cyffredinol, ac efallai nad diwygio yw rhai o'r pethau rydych newydd eu crybwyll ond mân newidiadau ar yr ymylon. Ac nid yw ailbrisio, gan ychwanegu ychydig o fandiau ychwanegol, o bosibl, at y dreth gyngor, yn ddiwygio go iawn. Ac wrth gwrs, y tro diwethaf i Lywodraeth Cymru gynnal ailbrisiad yng Nghymru, mae'n bwysig nodi bod un o bob tair aelwyd wedi wynebu cynnydd yn y dreth gyngor roeddent yn ei thalu. Ac mae'n debyg ei bod hefyd yn risg, heb awydd gwirioneddol i ddiwygio, y gallem fod yn sôn am hyn eto ymhen pum, 10 mlynedd arall, siarad am natur anflaengar y dreth gyngor heb wneud unrhyw newid go iawn iddi, dim ond rhyw fân newidiadau yma ac acw. Felly, Weinidog, a allwch roi sicrwydd i ni heddiw fod gennych awydd go iawn i weld newidiadau yn y maes hwn a gweld diwygio go iawn yn digwydd, yn hytrach na mân newidiadau ar yr ymylon yn unig?
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, the blatant denial of funding to Wales by the Westminster Government has probably gone to another level, hasn't it, this week. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised, because we already know that the UK Government is denying Wales our £5 billion share of HS2 funding - money, by the way, that they've given to Scotland and they've given to Northern Ireland. Westminster is also denying us the ability to utilise our natural resources to create revenue through the devolution of the Crown Estate, something, again, that they've given to another part of the United Kingdom. But we learnt, of course, this week that despite an explicit promise by the Prime Minister that Wales wouldn't be a penny worse off from leaving the EU, Westminster is pocketing £1 billion-worth of money that should be coming to Wales. So, do you agree with me, Minister, that the more the Westminster Government breaks its promises, the more it breaks up the United Kingdom?
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Weinidog, mae'n debyg fod Llywodraeth San Steffan wedi cyrraedd lefel uwch byth yr wythnos hon yn y ffordd y mae'n gwadu cyllid i Gymru. Efallai na ddylem synnu, gan y gwyddom eisoes fod Llywodraeth y DU yn gwadu ein cyfran o £5 biliwn o gyllid HS2 i Gymru - arian y maent wedi'i roi, gyda llaw, i'r Alban ac i Ogledd Iwerddon. Mae San Steffan hefyd yn gwadu'r gallu inni ddefnyddio ein hadnoddau naturiol i greu refeniw drwy ddatganoli Ystad y Goron, rhywbeth arall y maent wedi'i roi i ran arall o'r Deyrnas Unedig. Ond fe ddysgom ni, wrth gwrs, yr wythnos hon, er gwaethaf addewid pendant gan Brif Weinidog y DU na fyddai Cymru geiniog ar ei cholled yn sgil gadael yr UE, fod San Steffan yn pocedu gwerth £1 biliwn o arian a ddylai fod yn dod i Gymru. Felly, a ydych yn cytuno â mi, Weinidog, po fwyaf y bydd Llywodraeth San Steffan yn torri ei haddewidion, y mwyaf y bydd yn chwalu'r Deyrnas Unedig?
