English: Well, wait a minute. There's only one in 27 as far as the Commission is concerned with the UK Government in Europe, and the Commission, as you know, makes all the decisions with regard to powers that will come out of Europe and affect the Welsh people. This despite the fact - and I'll go on to make this point - this despite the fact that we had only four representative MEPs in an undemocratic Parliament in the EU, as opposed to 40 representatives in Westminster, a democratic Parliament - most of whom, I'll point out, are Labour MPs. And all this against the backdrop that over the last term of the European Parliament, all of the 14 amendments to European Acts laid down by UKIP, which would have benefited Wales, were voted down by Labour and Plaid MEPs purely through party political prejudice. I'm afraid the rhetoric of both Labour and Plaid on these matters rings conspicuously hollow.
Welsh: Wel, arhoswch funud. Does dim ond un o bob 27 cyn belled ag y mae'r Comisiwn yn ymwneud â Llywodraeth y DU yn Ewrop, ac mae'r Comisiwn, fel y gwyddoch, yn gwneud yr holl benderfyniadau o ran pwerau a fydd yn dod allan o'r Ewrop ac yn effeithio ar bobl Cymru. Mae hyn er gwaethaf y ffaith - a byddaf yn mynd ymlaen i wneud y pwynt hwn - mae hyn er gwaethaf y ffaith mai dim ond pedwar ASE cynrychioliadol oedd gennym mewn Senedd annemocrataidd yn yr UE, yn hytrach na 40 o gynrychiolwyr yn San Steffan, Senedd ddemocrataidd - y mwyafrif ohonynt fe nodaf, yn ASau Llafur. Ac mae hyn i gyd yn erbyn cefndir tymor olaf Senedd Ewrop, pan bleidleiswyd yn erbyn pob un o'r 14 gwelliant i Ddeddfau Ewropeaidd a osodwyd gan UKIP, a fyddai wedi bod o fantais i Gymru, gan ASEau Llafur a Phlaid trwy ragfarn plaid wleidyddol yn unig. Rwy'n ofni bod rhethreg y Blaid Lafur a Phlaid ar y materion hyn yn eiriau gwag amlwg.
English: The proposal is to agree amendment 1. Does any Member object? [Objection.] I will defer voting on this item until voting time.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid derbyn gwelliant 1? A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? [Gwrthwynebiad.] Gohiriaf y bleidlais felly ar yr eitem yma tan y cyfnod pleidleisio.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Today, I would like to provide an update to Members on progress made with the Wales and borders rail service and metro procurement. Our vision is for a modern, efficient rail service, using modern technology and working practices to deliver considerable service improvements for passengers throughout Wales. This agenda brings with it undoubtable challenges, but also fantastic opportunities to deliver on our wider aspirations for a bigger and better multimodal integrated public transport network, serving the needs of passengers, walkers, and cyclists all over Wales, whether they are from Wales or visitors looking to see as much as possible of our beautiful country. The agenda will be supported by a number of ambitious interventions, including rail electrification and enhancement schemes, the north Wales metro, improvements to the road network and the M4, and lasting improvements to bus services. We are delivering these interventions in a partially devolved context. However, this is not satisfactory. We have pressed the UK Government to devolve control and funding over rail infrastructure to Wales, as recommended by the Commission on Devolution in Wales. And, in the absence of devolved funding and control, Wales must be given its fair share of infrastructure investment, noting the historic underinvestment here in Wales, and we continue to make this case. We have, however, made good progress.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Heddiw, hoffwn roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i Aelodau am y cynnydd a wnaethpwyd o ran gwasanaeth rheilffyrdd Cymru a'r gororau a chaffael y metro. Ein gweledigaeth yw gwasanaeth rheilffyrdd modern, effeithlon, sy'n defnyddio technoleg fodern ac arferion gwaith modern i wneud gwelliant sylweddol i wasanaethau i deithwyr ledled Cymru. Mae'r agenda hon yn ddi-os yn cyflwyno heriau, ond mae hefyd yn rhoi cyfleoedd gwych i gyflawni ein dyheadau ehangach ar gyfer rhwydwaith trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus integredig amlfodd sy'n fwy ac yn well, gan wasanaethu anghenion teithwyr, cerddwyr, a beicwyr ar hyd a lled Cymru, p'un a ydynt yn dod o Gymru ynteu'n ymwelwyr sy'n ceisio gweld cymaint â phosibl o'n gwlad brydferth. Cefnogir yr agenda gan nifer o ymyriadau uchelgeisiol, gan gynnwys cynlluniau i drydaneiddio a gwella'r rheilffyrdd, metro'r gogledd, gwelliannau i'r rhwydwaith ffyrdd a'r M4, a gwelliannau parhaus i wasanaethau bws. Rydym yn darparu'r ymyriadau hyn mewn cyd-destun rhannol ddatganoledig. Fodd bynnag, nid yw hyn yn foddhaol. Rydym wedi pwyso ar Lywodraeth y DU i ddatganoli rheolaeth a chyllid dros seilwaith rheilffyrdd i Gymru, fel yr argymhellodd y Comisiwn ar Ddatganoli yng Nghymru. Ac, yn absenoldeb cyllid a rheolaeth ddatganoledig, mae'n rhaid i Gymru dderbyn ei chyfran deg o fuddsoddiad mewn seilwaith, gan nodi'r tanfuddsoddi hanesyddol yma yng Nghymru, ac rydym yn parhau i wneud yr achos hwn. Rydym, fodd bynnag, wedi gwneud cynnydd da.
English: Can I take that final point first? I can assure the Member that the rolling stock will be available so that, as soon as possible in the new franchise, passengers will be able to experience improvements in terms of the quality of the trains that they're carried on. In terms of the specification, I will endeavour to ensure that the requirements, when they are published as a summary document, are as full and as accessible to passengers as possible. The Member has consistently represented her constituents with passion and determination as far as rail transport and the south Wales metro in particular are concerned, and I would look forward to further communication with her based on the engagement that she has with her constituents. I think it's worth saying again that Transport for Wales is publishing the response to their latest consultation today, and I think that will be helpful in pointing to those areas that have concerned passengers right across Wales most, and how that then, when the summary document of the requirements is published - how they match up very well. There have been two consultations that have taken place during this process. They've attracted a significant number of responses from across Wales, and that's in no small part because of the work of the Member and others in this Chamber in promoting the importance of the next franchise and the development of the south-east Wales metro.
Welsh: A gaf i gymryd y pwynt olaf yn gyntaf? Gallaf sicrhau'r Aelod y bydd y cerbydau ar gael fel y bydd teithwyr, cyn gynted ag y bo modd yn y fasnachfraint newydd, yn gallu profi gwelliannau o ran ansawdd y trenau sy'n eu cludo. O ran y fanyleb, byddaf yn ymdrechu i sicrhau bod y gofynion, pan gânt eu cyhoeddi fel dogfen gryno, mor llawn ac mor hygyrch i deithwyr ag y bo modd. Mae'r Aelod wedi cynrychioli ei hetholwyr yn gyson ag angerdd a phenderfyniad dros drafnidiaeth rheilffyrdd a metro'r de yn benodol, a byddwn yn edrych ymlaen at gyfathrebu ymhellach gyda hi yn seiliedig ar ei hymgysylltiad â'i hetholwyr. Rwy'n meddwl ei bod yn werth dweud eto bod Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn cyhoeddi'r ymateb i'w hymgynghoriad diweddaraf heddiw, ac rwy'n meddwl y bydd hwnnw'n ddefnyddiol i dynnu sylw at y meysydd hynny sydd wedi peri'r pryder mwyaf i deithwyr ledled Cymru, ac y bydd hynny wedyn, pan gaiff y ddogfen i grynhoi'r gofynion ei chyhoeddi - eu bod yn cyd-fynd yn dda iawn. Mae dau ymgynghoriad wedi digwydd yn ystod y broses hon. Maent wedi denu nifer sylweddol o ymatebion o bob cwr o Gymru, ac mae hynny i raddau helaeth oherwydd gwaith yr Aelod ac eraill yn y Siambr hon o hyrwyddo pwysigrwydd y fasnachfraint nesaf a datblygiad metro'r de-ddwyrain.
English: I'm sure all of us in the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee will welcome the announcement by the Cabinet Secretary of the funds for the addition of new rolling stock, particularly as we've heard many times in our inquiries the problems of shortages of suitable rolling stock. Cabinet Secretary, as you know, the central Valleys lines are a crucial part of the jigsaw that will make up the south Wales metro. So, does the Cabinet Secretary have any firm commitment to the type of rolling stock for these lines, especially with regard to whether they will include light rail options? Because, as the Cabinet Secretary knows, light rail will not accommodate freight. So, can he give us a commitment that freight will still be part of the railway strategy for the core Valleys lines, and also, of course, for those lines outside that designation?
Welsh: Rwy'n siŵr y bydd pawb ohonom yn y Pwyllgor Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau'n croesawu'r cyhoeddiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet o'r arian i ychwanegu cerbydau newydd, yn enwedig gan ein bod wedi clywed sawl gwaith yn ein hymholiadau am broblemau â phrinder cerbydau addas. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fel y gwyddoch, mae rheilffyrdd canol y Cymoedd yn rhan hanfodol o'r jig-so a fydd yn gwneud metro'r de. Felly, a oes gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet unrhyw ymrwymiad cadarn i'r math o gerbydau ar gyfer y rheilffyrdd hyn, yn enwedig o ran a fyddant yn cynnwys opsiynau rheilffordd ysgafn? Oherwydd, fel y mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn ei wybod, ni ellir cludo nwyddau ar reilffordd ysgafn. Felly, a all roi ymrwymiad inni y bydd cludo nwyddau'n dal i fod yn rhan o'r strategaeth rheilffordd ar gyfer rheilffyrdd craidd y Cymoedd, a hefyd, wrth gwrs, ar gyfer y rheilffyrdd eraill?
English: Can I thank the Member for his questions and say that, in terms of the core Valleys lines, it's absolutely essential that services are as frequent as possible, and not just that they are frequent, but they are also reliable? We're mode agnostic during this process, but what we have said to the bidders is that we expect the transport that's provided within the metro area to be fully integrated, and we would expect whatever solutions that are deployed to be reliable and to meet those growing passenger numbers that are forecasted, and I think, now, are widely recognised as being accurate.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiynau a dweud, o ran rheilffyrdd craidd y Cymoedd, ei bod yn gwbl hanfodol cael gwasanaethau mor aml ag y bo modd, ac nid yn unig yn aml, ond hefyd yn ddibynadwy? Rydym yn agnostig i foddau yn ystod y broses hon, ond yr hyn yr ydym wedi ei ddweud wrth y cynigwyr yw ein bod yn disgwyl i'r drafnidiaeth a ddarperir o fewn ardal y metro fod yn gwbl integredig, a byddem yn disgwyl i ba bynnag ddatrysiadau a defnyddir fod yn ddibynadwy a bodloni'r niferoedd mwy o deithwyr sy'n cael eu rhagweld, ac y cydnabyddir gan fwyaf nawr, rwy'n meddwl, eu bod yn gywir.
English: I thank the Cabinet Secretary for his statement. Following the announcement yesterday about the use of money from the public purse to ensure additional carriages for Wales, how can we have any confidence that the Welsh Government can procure a worthwhile franchise for Wales when these new trains announced yesterday actually equate to the addition of a few second-hand trains from the 1980s, and are therefore merely an addition to the inappropriate and outdated rolling stock of the past, which are a blight on Wales? We have staff who are younger than this.
Welsh: Diolch i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet am ei ddatganiad. Yn dilyn y cyhoeddiad ddoe am ddefnydd arian o'r pwrs cyhoeddus i helpu i sicrhau cerbydau trên newydd i gledrau Cymru, sut fedrwn ni fagu unrhyw hyder y gall Llywodraeth Cymru gaffael masnachfraint gwerth chweil i Gymru tra bod y trenau newydd hyn a gyhoeddwyd ddoe mewn gwirionedd yn cyfateb i ychwanegiad o ychydig o drenau ail-law o'r 1980au, ac felly ond yn ychwanegiad i'r stoc reilffordd anaddas o'r oes o'r blaen sy'n bla yng Nghymru nawr? Mae gennym ni staff iau na'r rhain.
English: Can I thank Dai Lloyd for his question? But I think the premise is slightly wrong. The reason that we've intervened to support the rail network in the current time is because of the historic underfunding by UK Government in the infrastructure of the rail network, and also because the franchise agreement that was reached more than a decade ago was so poorly drawn up. The new franchise is going to be designed to address those growing passenger numbers, which we expect to rise by more than 70 per cent, and then, consequently, we expect there to be more trains operating and we expect to see better quality trains deployed as soon as possible in the next franchise. We intervened out of a duty to passengers who should be put first by the next operator and by this operator, and we will continue to prioritise passenger interest above profit and ensure that the experience of travelling on Wales's trains is improved.
Welsh: Hoffwn ddiolch i Dai Lloyd am ei gwestiwn. Ond rwy'n meddwl bod y sail ychydig yn anghywir. Y rheswm pam yr ydym wedi ymyrryd i gefnogi'r rhwydwaith rheilffyrdd ar hyn o bryd yw oherwydd y tanariannu hanesyddol gan Lywodraeth y DU yn seilwaith y rhwydwaith rheilffyrdd, a hefyd oherwydd bod y cytundeb masnachfraint a ffurfiwyd dros ddegawd yn ôl wedi'i lunio mor wael. Caiff y fasnachfraint newydd ei chynllunio i ymdrin â'r niferoedd teithwyr sy'n cynyddu - rydym yn disgwyl iddynt gynyddu dros 70 y cant - ac yna, o ganlyniad, rydym yn disgwyl gweld mwy o drenau'n gweithredu ac rydym yn disgwyl gweld trenau o ansawdd gwell yn cael eu defnyddio cyn gynted â phosibl yn y fasnachfraint nesaf. Rydym wedi ymyrryd o ddyletswydd i deithwyr a ddylai gael eu rhoi'n gyntaf gan y gweithredwr nesaf a gan y gweithredwr hwn, a byddwn yn parhau i flaenoriaethu budd teithwyr dros elw a sicrhau bod y profiad o deithio ar drenau Cymru'n cael ei wella.
English: I've got a number of speakers who want to be called, so if individuals can get to their questions, maybe I can get through the list, and if Ministers can equally be brief. Jenny Rathbone.
Welsh: Mae gen i nifer o siaradwyr sydd am gael eu galw, felly os gall unigolion gyrraedd eu cwestiynau, efallai y gallaf gwblhau'r rhestr, ac os gall Gweinidogion fod yn gryno hefyd. Jenny Rathbone.
English: Thank you, Chair. I'm sure the whole Chamber would want to recognise what has happened in Cardiff with the collapse of the building in Splott and the closure of the Cardiff to Newport line, and to wish the emergency services and the injured person all the very best. The Cabinet Secretary will recognise that the economy committee, in their inquiry, asked - . The Welsh Government asked the UK Government in 2011 for extra diesel rolling stock and they told them in no uncertain terms that they couldn't have it because of the electrification of the lines, which has led us partly to this problem today. So, the Welsh Government did take timely action. But, I would like to pursue two questions that Russell George raised and ask for a little bit more detail. The extra carriages are five times four, which is being advertised as 20 extra trains. How can they split, and can they be split in a way that will maximise efficiency? Or do they have to be used in blocks of four? The Rhymney to Cardiff line is desperate for extra trains at peak times, and just two of those trains, for example, would be helpful on those lines, but some further information about how they can split would be very helpful. In his statement he said that the new stock will enable the development of existing carriages for persons of reduced mobility. Can he give us more information on how precisely that will be enabled?
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd. Rwy'n siŵr yr hoffai'r Siambr gyfan gydnabod yr hyn sydd wedi digwydd yng Nghaerdydd gyda chwymp yr adeilad yn Sblot a chau'r llinell o Gaerdydd i Gasnewydd, ac anfon dymuniadau gorau i'r gwasanaethau brys a'r unigolyn a anafwyd. Bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn cydnabod bod y pwyllgor economi, yn eu hymchwiliad, wedi gofyn - . Gofynnodd Llywodraeth Cymru i Lywodraeth y DU yn 2011 am fwy o gerbydau diesel a'r ateb a ddaeth yn blwmp ac yn blaen oedd na allent eu cael oherwydd trydaneiddio'r rheilffyrdd, sydd wedi ein harwain yn rhannol at y broblem hon heddiw. Felly, cymerodd Llywodraeth Cymru gamau amserol. Ond, hoffwn roi mwy o sylw i ddau gwestiwn a ofynnodd Russell George a gofyn am ychydig bach mwy o fanylion. Mae'r cerbydau ychwanegol yn bump gwaith pedwar, sy'n cael ei hysbysebu fel 20 o drenau ychwanegol. Sut y gallant rannu, ac a ellir eu rhannu mewn ffordd a fydd yn sicrhau cymaint o effeithlonrwydd â phosibl? Ynteu a oes rhaid eu defnyddio mewn blociau o bedwar? Mae rheilffordd Rhymni i Gaerdydd yn daer eisiau trenau ychwanegol ar adegau prysur, a byddai dim ond dau o'r trenau hynny, er enghraifft, yn ddefnyddiol ar y rheilffyrdd hynny, ond byddai rhagor o wybodaeth am sut y gallant rannu yn ddefnyddiol iawn. Yn ei ddatganiad dywedodd y bydd y cerbydau newydd yn caniatáu datblygu cerbydau presennol ar gyfer pobl sydd ddim yn symud cystal. A all roi rhagor o wybodaeth inni am sut yn union y caniateir hynny?
English: Yes, absolutely. I'll check on exactly how the rolling stock can be configured. They are presented as five four-carriage trains, but my understanding is that they can be subdivided and lengthened or shortened as appropriate, but I will check on that and write to Members. In terms of how they can be used to then ensure that other rolling stock is compliant, well, essentially, they can replace - . Some rolling stock can be taken off-line and have works carried out to them to ensure that they are mobility compliant. Therefore, the additional rolling stock won't just be there to serve the purpose of increasing capacity where capacity is currently stretched; they will also be used to supplement the rolling stock that is taken off-line for works to be carried out.
Welsh: Gallaf, wrth gwrs. Fe wnaf edrych ar sut yn union y gellir ffurfweddu'r cerbydau. Maent yn cael eu cyflwyno fel pum trên pedwar cerbyd, ond fy nealltwriaeth i yw bod modd eu hisrannu a'u hymestyn neu eu byrhau fel y bo'n briodol, ond holaf am hynny ac ysgrifennaf at yr Aelodau. O ran sut y gellir eu defnyddio wedyn i sicrhau bod cerbydau eraill yn cydymffurfio, wel, yn y bôn, gallant gymryd lle - . Gellir cymryd rhai cerbydau oddi ar y rheilffordd i wneud gwaith arnynt i sicrhau eu bod yn cydymffurfio o ran symudedd. Felly, nid unig ddiben y cerbydau ychwanegol fydd gwasanaethu'r diben o gynyddu capasiti lle mae capasiti wedi'i ymestyn ar hyn o bryd; byddant hefyd yn cael eu defnyddio i gymryd lle'r cerbydau sy'n cael eu cymryd oddi ar y rheilffordd er mwyn i'r gwaith gael ei wneud.
English: We move on now to a statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government on local government reform, and I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government to make the statement. Mark Drakeford.
Welsh: Symudwn ymlaen yn awr at ddatganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol ynglŷn â diwygio llywodraeth leol, ac rwy'n galw ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a Llywodraeth Leol i wneud datganiad. Mark Drakeford.
English: No, there is no intervention on a statement now.
Welsh: Na, nid oes unrhyw ymyriad ar ddatganiad nawr.
English: I'd like to welcome the statement. There were two elements I wanted to touch on. One: in terms of the basket of options you're putting to consultation about reform, I'm disappointed that compulsory voting is not one of the options that the Welsh Government are asking for opinions on. I think requiring people to take part as part of their wider civic duties - the ability to vote is an important one. I realise that's a contestable view, but I think it would be useful to start a debate on that. Secondly, I just wanted to touch on the broader transformation that the Minister proposes in terms of the boundaries. Much of the emphasis is on the physical structures, but I just wonder how much thought is going on in terms of the digital transformation that's going to be underpinning a lot of this. The spread of big data and artificial intelligence and automation is all around us. I'm conscious that there are no end of private companies who are approaching local authorities with off-the-shelf solutions to automate many of their functions to free up resource to put into front-line services, and I think it would be better if we did this in a thought-through, planned way across Wales, rather than individual local authorities doing it in an ad hoc way. It needn't be a threat, but it will be a change, and a change that we can't avoid. So, I just wonder if he could say a little bit more about the role of digital in the broader transformation project he had in mind.
Welsh: Hoffwn groesawu'r datganiad. Roedd dwy elfen yr oeddwn yn awyddus i roi sylw iddynt. Un: o ran y dewisiadau y byddwch chi'n ymgynghori arnyn nhw ynglŷn â diwygio, rwy'n siomedig nad yw pleidleisio gorfodol yn un o'r dewisiadau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gofyn am farn arno. Rwy'n credu bod ei gwneud hi'n ofynnol i bobl gymryd rhan yn rhan o'u dyletswyddau dinesig ehangach - mae cael pleidleisio yn bwysig yn un pwysig. Rwy'n sylweddoli bod y farn honno'n un ddadleuol, ond rwy'n credu y byddai'n ddefnyddiol i gychwyn dadl ar hynny. Yn ail, roeddwn i eisiau crybwyll y gweddnewidiad ehangach y mae'r Gweinidog yn ei gynnig o ran y ffiniau. Mae llawer o'r pwyslais ar yr adeileddau ffisegol, ond tybed faint o ystyriaeth a roddir i'r gweddnewid digidol a fydd yn sail i lawer o hyn. Mae lledaeniad data mawr a deallusrwydd artiffisial ac awtomeiddio o'n cwmpas ym mhob man. Rwy'n ymwybodol nad oes unrhyw ddiwedd ar gwmnïau preifat yn dod ar ofyn awdurdodau lleol gan gynnig atebion parod i awtomeiddio llawer o'u swyddogaethau i ryddhau adnoddau er mwyn gallu eu cyfeirio at wasanaethau rheng flaen, ac rwy'n credu y byddai'n well pe byddem ni'n gwneud hyn mewn ffordd bwyllog a chynlluniedig ledled Cymru, yn hytrach na bod awdurdodau lleol unigol yn gwneud hynny ar sail ad hoc. Nid oes rhaid i hyn fod yn fygythiad, ond bydd yn newid, ac yn newid na allwn ni ei osgoi. Felly, tybed a allai ef ddweud ychydig mwy am swyddogaeth yr elfen ddigidol yn y prosiect gweddnewid ehangach oedd ganddo mewn golwg.
