English: Minister, thank you for your statement today, and I also join in other Members' comments and condolences to the families and those affected by the - I think that 'horrific events' isn't too strong, really, when you see some of the images that have come out from across Wales. When death is obviously one of the effects of those events, then they are horrific, to say the least. I'd like to just press you on two issues, if I may, Minister. In your statement you talk about how flood risk management remains one of your priorities, and I fully endorse that. But yet, in your remit letter, which the leader of the opposition did touch on during First Minister's questions, of the five points for you as a Minister - not the Cabinet Secretary, but for you specifically as a Minister - flood prevention is not one of those five points that is in your remit letter for this year. Recycling is, woodlands are, and tackling poor air quality, improving the understanding of the value of nature, and reversing the decline in biodiversity. So, it's not unreasonable to ask: why was it missing from your remit letter to NRW, given that they're the body who obviously oversee the planning and implementation of flood defences around Wales? Yesterday, the First Minister did indicate that money would be available. Again, I appreciate that you're not in a position to put a figure to that, and it would be wrong, in fact, such a short time after, for you to actually say, 'This is x amount available.' It would be worth reflecting on how much will be available. But can you confirm that the money that the First Minister was talking of will be new money to your department, or will it have to be money that will have to be found from within your current resources? Because, as I said, the First Minister clearly did identify money would be made available, so that's the most senior person in Government saying that, giving that commitment, but I think it's important to understand - and the finance Secretary is in his chair - whether he is making new money available to you, and, in which case, that would be a very welcome addition to your budget.
Welsh: Gweinidog, diolch ichi am eich datganiad heddiw, ac rwyf innau hefyd yn ymuno â'r Aelodau eraill i gydymdeimlo â'r teuluoedd a'r rhai hynny yr effeithiwyd arnyn nhw - nid wyf yn credu bod 'digwyddiadau erchyll' yn eiriau rhy gryf, mewn gwirionedd, pan fyddwch chi'n gweld rhai o'r delweddau sydd wedi dod o bob cwr o Gymru. Yn amlwg, pan fydd marwolaeth yn un o ganlyniadau'r digwyddiadau hynny, yna maen nhw'n erchyll, a dweud y lleiaf. Hoffwn bwyso arnoch chi ar ddau fater, os caf i, Gweinidog. Yn eich datganiad, rydych chi'n sôn am sut mae rheoli'r risg o lifogydd yn dal i fod yn un o'ch blaenoriaethau, ac rwy'n cefnogi hynny'n llawn. Ond eto, yn eich llythyr cylch gwaith, y soniodd arweinydd yr wrthblaid yn gryno amdano yn ystod y cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog, o'r pum pwynt i chi fel Gweinidog - nid Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ond i chi fel Gweinidog yn benodol - nid yw atal llifogydd yn un o'r pum pwynt hynny sydd yn eich llythyr cylch gwaith ar gyfer eleni. Mae ailgylchu yn un, coetiroedd yn un, a mynd i'r afael ag ansawdd aer gwael, gwella'r ddealltwriaeth o werth natur, a gwrthdroi'r dirywiad mewn bioamrywiaeth. Felly, nid yw'n afresymol gofyn: pam yr oedd ar goll o'ch llythyr cylch gwaith i Gyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, o gofio mai hwnnw yw'r corff, yn amlwg, sy'n goruchwylio'r gwaith o gynllunio a chodi amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd ledled Cymru? Ddoe, nododd y Prif Weinidog y byddai arian ar gael. Unwaith eto, rwy'n sylweddoli nad ydych chi mewn sefyllfa i roi ffigur ar hynny, a byddai'n anghywir, yn wir, cyn lleied o amser ar ôl y digwyddiad, ichi ddweud mewn gwirionedd, 'Dyma swm o faint bynnag sydd ar gael.' Byddai'n werth ystyried faint fydd ar gael. Ond a allwch chi gadarnhau y bydd yr arian yr oedd y Prif Weinidog yn sôn amdano yn arian newydd i'ch adran chi, neu a fydd yn rhaid iddo fod yn arian y bydd yn rhaid dod o hyd iddo o fewn eich adnoddau presennol? Oherwydd, fel y dywedais, fe wnaeth y Prif Weinidog nodi'n glir y byddai arian ar gael, felly dyna'r person uchaf yn y Llywodraeth yn dweud, yn rhoi'r ymrwymiad hwnnw, ond rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig deall - ac mae'r Ysgrifennydd cyllid yn ei gadair - a yw'n sicrhau bod arian newydd ar gael i chi, ac, os felly, byddai hynny'n ychwanegiad dymunol iawn i'ch cyllideb.
