English: Thank you very much, Chair. Amendment 3, of course, emerges from recommendation 26 of the committee's report following Stage 1 scrutiny, namely that the Welsh Government do away with the ability of providers to apply for additional fees. This was a consensus of this committee a few weeks ago, and I hope that this consensus will stand and you will support this amendment today. The committee at that point, as I'm sure you'll remember, was concerned that additional charges of up to £162.50 per month could mean that the childcare offer could be unaffordable to those parents on the lowest levels of income. If it is an offer of free childcare, then it should do what it says on the tin, and there should be no additional charges related to it. The committee's view was that the hourly rate paid to providers should be increased, rather than allowing them to charge for these additional fees. If amendment 3 is not passed, then I will be supporting amendments 20 and 25 in the name of Janet Finch-Saunders, which would ensure that at least those who qualify for free school meals wouldn't have to pay these additional costs. I'm also going to be supporting amendments 32 and 33. I think it's quite appropriate in terms of transparency that the hourly rates, and any rationale underpinning varying those rates, should be made public and that should happen consistently, and so too with the additional fees. I think regularly announcing how much providers are charging in terms of additional fees would give us a picture of how this is working on the ground, and it would also clearly demonstrate whether there is a tendency, as some fear that there could be, for providers to be charging the highest level of additional fees, come what may. So, I would ask Members to support, certainly, amendment 3.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Gadeirydd. Mae gwelliant 3, wrth gwrs, yn deillio o argymhelliad 26 o adroddiad y pwyllgor yn dilyn Cyfnod 1 o graffu ar y Bil yma, sef, wrth gwrs, fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn dileu'r hawl i ddarparwyr i wneud cais am daliadau ychwanegol. Dyna oedd consensws y pwyllgor yma ychydig wythnosau yn ôl, a gobeithio, yn sicr, y bydd y consensws hwnnw'n dilyn ymlaen i gefnogi'r gwelliant yma heddiw. Mi roedd y pwyllgor bryd hynny, rydw i'n siŵr y byddwch chi'n cofio, yn bryderus y gallai taliadau ychwanegol o hyd at £162.50 y mis olygu bod y cynnig gofal plant yn anfforddiadwy i'r rhieni hynny sydd ar y lefelau isaf o gyflog. Os yw e'n gynnig gofal am ddim, ac yn gynnig di-dâl, yna mi ddylai fe wneud beth mae'n dweud ar y tin, ac ni ddylai fod yna gostau ychwanegol ynghlwm ag ef. Barn y pwyllgor oedd y dylid codi'r gyfradd fesul awr sy'n cael ei thalu i ddarparwyr, yn hytrach na chaniatáu iddyn nhw godi am y costau ychwanegol yma. Os nad yw gwelliant 3 yn cael ei basio, yna mi fyddaf yn cefnogi gwelliannau 20 a 25 gan Janet Finch-Saunders a fyddai'n sicrhau bod o leiaf y rhai sy'n gymwys am ginio ysgol am ddim ddim yn gorfod talu'r costau ychwanegol yna. Rydw i hefyd yn mynd i gefnogi gwelliannau 32 a 33. Rydw i'n meddwl ei bod hi'n gwbl addas o ran tryloywder fod y cyfraddau talu fesul awr, ac unrhyw resymeg y tu ôl i amrywio'r lefelau talu hynny, yn cael eu cyhoeddi'n gyson, a hefyd, felly, gyda'r ffioedd ychwanegol. Rydw i'n meddwl byddai cyhoeddi'n gyson faint mae darparwyr yn ei godi o'r ffioedd ychwanegol hyn yn rhoi'r darlun i ni o sut mae hwn yn gweithio ar lawr gwlad, a hefyd yn dangos yn glir a oes yna dueddiad, fel y mae rhai yn ofni y gallai fod, i'r darparwyr fod yn codi'r lefel uchaf posib o daliadau ychwanegol doed a ddelo. Felly, mi fyddwn ni'n gofyn i Aelodau i gefnogi yn sicr gwelliant 3, beth bynnag.
