English: It depends on your analysis. I'm not saying that I would want to go cap in hand, but we would certainly want to contribute ideas and to share creative ideas in the context of what Wales could offer, rather than the more negative interpretation that you've proposed today.
Welsh: Mae'n dibynnu ar eich analysis. Ni fyddwn i'n dweud y byddwn i eisiau i ni fynd gyda'n cap yn ein llaw, ond byddem ni eisiau cyfrannu syniadau, rhannu syniadau creadigol, yng nghyd-destun beth y gallai Cymru ei gynnig, yn hytrach nag, efallai, y dehongliad mwy negyddol rydych chi wedi'i roi i ni yma heddiw.
English: Well, I don't want DCMS saying to me or to Wales what we should be doing. I have far more trust in the situation where we have commissioners within the BBC, for example, and I hope, with the re-organisation that's happening, with Channel 4. That's not relevant directly to radio, but it is very relevant to the broadcast economy in Wales. If we benefit from the decision to relocate Channel 4, then there will be a commissioner in Wales that will be able to discuss ideas daily with broadcasters and producers. That's the way that one gets creative ideas, I think, and I don't think that there's a high level of creativity among DCMS Ministers or, possibly, someone like me in my post.
Welsh: Wel, nid ydw i eisiau'r DCMS yn dweud wrthyf i nag wrth Gymru beth y dylem ni fod yn ei wneud. Mae gen i lawer mwy o ymddiriedaeth yn y sefyllfa lle mae gyda ni gomisiynwyr o fewn y BBC, er enghraifft, ac rydw i'n gobeithio, gyda'r ad-drefnu sydd yn digwydd, gyda Channel 4. Nid yw hynny'n berthnasol yn uniongyrchol i radio, ond mae o'n berthnasol iawn i'r economi ddarlledu yng Nghymru. Os cawn ni fantais allan o'r penderfyniadau i adleoli rheolaeth Channel 4, bydd yna gomisiynwyr yn gweithio yng Nghymru ac yn gallu trafod syniadau yn ddyddiol gyda darlledwyr a chynhyrchwyr. Dyna'r ffordd y mae rhywun yn cael syniadau creadigol, rydw i'n credu, ac nid ydw i'n credu bod yna lefel uchel o greadigrwydd ymhlith Gweinidogion DCMS nag, o bosib, yn rhywun fel fi yn fy swydd i.
English: As you know, the memorandum of understanding with Ofcom has been agreed, and that's a very important document. As you know, in the context of the BBC charter, there was a memorandum of understanding at that point, and I think that was of great advantage to us, as a Government, and to Wales more broadly in terms of the final charter. There were a number of things in the charter - not everything that we, as a Government, wanted, but the fact that we had a formal memorandum in place led to a number of issues that we succeeded to get included in the final charter. In terms of Ofcom, we respond to consultations, and we've responded to their annual report recently. So, that's the kind of thing that we're doing as a Government, just for information.
Welsh: Fel rydych chi'n gwybod, mae'r memorandwm cyd-ddealltwriaeth gydag Ofcom wedi cael ei gytuno, felly mae hwnnw yn ddogfen bwysig iawn. Fel rydych chi'n gwybod, yng nghyd-destun siarter y BBC, roedd yna femorandwm cyd-ddealltwriaeth bryd hynny, ac rwy'n credu bu hwnnw'n fantais fawr i ni, fel Llywodraeth, ac i Gymru, o ran y siarter derfynol. Cawsom ni nifer o bethau yn y siarter derfynol - ddim popeth yr oeddem ni, fel Llywodraeth, ei eisiau, ond gwnaeth y ffaith bod gennym ni femorandwm ffurfiol arwain at nifer o bethau y gwnaethom ni lwyddo eu cael yn y siarter derfynol. O ran Ofcom, er enghraifft, rydym ni wedi bod yn ymateb i ymgynghoriadau, a'u hadroddiad blynyddol yn ddiweddar. Felly, dyna'r math o beth yr ydym ni'n ei wneud fel Llywodraeth, jest er gwybodaeth.
English: Well, that's what I was going to say. You've responded to Ofcom and that was passed on to us. So, that relates to the situation, and that's what I was trying to understand: that you're doing it already in that regard.
Welsh: Ie, wel, dyna beth yr oeddwn i'n mynd i'w ddweud. Rydych chi wedi rhoi ymateb i mewn i Ofcom, a oedd wedi cael ei roi inni. Felly, mae hynny'n ymwneud â'r sefyllfa, mewn ffordd. Dyna beth yr oeddwn yn trio ei ddeall: eich bod yn ei wneud yn barod, yn hynny o beth.
English: Well, I'm pleased you've spotted how we're working in this area, because this is the Government's firm policy in this area, namely that we make the regulator more Welsh, that the regulator has a statutory Welsh voice upon it, also with a strong consultative voice through the medium of the advisory committee, and then that that message is conveyed formally in that way. That is where we, as Ministers, who appoint these members to the regulators to represent Wales, and also in terms of S4C - . Hywel has been part of that process, too, recently on behalf of the Welsh Government, where we can appoint the members representing the public interest in broadcasting in Wales. They are appointed by Welsh Ministers, or we have a statutory role in that appointment. That means that we can call on those people to ensure that they do take actions that are in keeping with the needs of the people of Wales, and that's far more effective. It's not a matter of speaking warmly to another Minister in some conference somewhere - it's all transparent and all operational as part of the constitution.
Welsh: Rydw i'n falch eich bod chi wedi sbotio'r ffordd yr ydym yn gweithio, oherwydd dyma ydy polisi cadarn y Llywodraeth yn y maes yma, sef ein bod ni yn Cymreigio'r rheoleiddiwr, bod gan reoleiddiwr y Deyrnas Unedig lais a chynrychiolaeth statudol Gymreig, gref arno fo, a hefyd bod gennym lais ymgynghorol reit gryf drwy gyfrwng y pwyllgor cynghori, ac yna bod y neges yn mynd yn ffurfiol yn y ffordd honno. Yna, dyna'r lle, wedyn, y mae modd i ni, fel Gweinidogion sydd yn penodi yr aelodau o'r rheoleiddwyr yma i gynrychioli Cymru, a hefyd S4C - . Mae Hywel wedi bod yn rhan o'r broses honno hefyd, yn ddiweddar, ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru, lle'r ydym ni'n gallu penodi yr aelodau sydd yn cynrychioli buddiannau y cyhoedd mewn darlledu yng Nghymru, a'r rheini'n cael eu penodi gan Weinidogion Cymru, neu bod gennym ni ran statudol yn y penodiad. Mae hynny'n golygu y gallwn ni alw ar y bobl hynny i sicrhau eu bod nhw'n gweithredu yn ôl anghenion pobl Cymru. Mae hynny'n llawer iawn mwy effeithiol. Nid mater o siarad yn neis efo Gweinidog arall yn rhywle, ar ôl rhyw gynhadledd ydy hyn, ond bod y cyfan yn dryloyw ac yn weithredol fel rhan o'r cyfansoddiad, wrth gwrs.
English: I understand that it is very difficult to try to prevent deregulation by a Government in Westminster where it's part of their ideology to deregulate, and that you see that the way to influence is via the Welsh representative on the Ofcom board. But, of course, that's one voice on a board of I don't know how many people. In a way, aren't you making the case for devolution of broadcasting as a long-term solution, so that the people of Wales can genuinely influence what's happening in terms of content, in terms of culture, within the broadcasting that we have here? You do not want to consider looking at those particular issues, according to what you've said in the Chamber.
Welsh: Rwy'n deall ei bod hi'n anodd iawn ceisio atal dadreoleiddio gan Lywodraeth yn San Steffan lle mae'n rhan o'u hideoleg i ddadreoleiddio, ac eich bod chi'n gweld mai'r ffordd i ddylanwadu ydy trwy'r cynrychiolydd Cymreig ar fwrdd Ofcom. Ond, wrth gwrs, un llais ydy hwnnw mewn bwrdd o wn i ddim faint o bobl. Mewn ffordd, onid ydych chi'n gwneud yr achos dros ddatganoli darlledu fel yr ateb tymor hir, fel bod pobl Cymru wirioneddol yn gallu dylanwadu ar yr hyn sydd yn digwydd o ran y cynnwys, o ran y diwylliant, o fewn y darlledu sydd gennym ni yn fan hyn? Nid ydych chi eisiau ystyried edrych ar y materion yna, yn ôl beth rydych chi wedi ei ddadlau yn y Siambr.
English: It's not the policy of the Welsh Government to devolve broadcasting because we believe that the broadcast economy is very important to us here in Wales, and that we want to see the broadcast economy strengthened in Wales. What we're trying to do at the moment - and I'm very grateful for the leadership that we've seen from the leader of Cardiff council, Huw Thomas, and the attempt to attract whatever part of Channel 4 after re-organisation that can possibly be attracted to Wales - is very exciting. I want to see Wales being seen - . It's not the devolution of broadcasting that I want to see; I want to see Wales continuing to broadcast more and more in both languages on as many platforms as possible, because the broadcast economy that's developed here is crucial to the development of culture and jobs, not only in Cardiff but in north Wales and in Wales more generally.
Welsh: Nid yw'n bolisi Llywodraeth Cymru i ddatganoli darlledu oherwydd ein bod ni'n credu bod yr economi ddarlledu yn bwysig iawn i ni yng Nghymru, a'n bod ni eisiau gweld cryfhau yr economi ddarlledu yng Nghymru. Mae'r hyn rydym yn ceisio ei wneud ar y funud - ac rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn am yr arweiniad rydym yn ei gael gan arweinydd dinas a sir Caerdydd, Huw Thomas, a'r ymgyrch i geisio denu pa ran bynnag sy'n bosibl i'w denu o Channel 4 wedi ei had-drefnu, denu hynny i Gymru - rwy'n meddwl bod hyn yn gynhyrfus iawn. Rwyf eisiau gweld Cymru yn cael ei gweld - . Nid datganoli darlledu rwyf eisiau ei weld yn digwydd, ond bod Cymru yn dal i ddarlledu mwy a mwy yn y ddwy iaith, a hynny ar gymaint o lwyfannau ag sy'n bosibl, gan fod yr economi ddarlledu sydd wedi datblygu yma yn allweddol i ddatblygu diwylliant a swyddi, nid jest yng Nghaerdydd, ond yn y gogledd ac yng Nghymru yn gyffredinol.
English: Just to come back one final time: what we've been discussing this morning, there is a solution to it, namely to do something ourselves, and it's disappointing that you're not even considering - . We would push you to just start considering the devolution of elements of broadcasting. I'll leave it there, because we disagree on that.
Welsh: Jest i ddod yn ôl un waith: beth rydym ni wedi bod yn ei drafod y bore yma, mae yna ddatrysiad iddo fo, sef gwneud rhywbeth ein hunain. Mae'n siomedig nad ydych chi ddim hyd yn oed yn ystyried - . Mi fyddwn ni yn gwthio, yn amlwg, i jest ddechrau ystyried yr opsiynau ynglŷn â datganoli elfennau o ddarlledu. Ond mi wna i ei adael o'n fanna, achos rydym yn anghytuno.
English: Thank you. Just before I turn to community radio, can I just ask about the Welsh language on commercial radio stations? We've heard from Nation Radio this morning that they don't believe that there is a sustainable future for a commercial station in the medium of Welsh. We've also heard from Marc Webber that Ofcom has presided over a market failure. Do you agree that Ofcom has been relatively weak on this? Because I know where you stand on deregulation, but has Ofcom been, as I said, weak?
Welsh: Diolch. Jest cyn i fi droi at radio cymunedol, a allaf ofyn am yr iaith Gymraeg ar orsafoedd masnachol? Rydym wedi clywed gan Nation Radio'r bore yma nad ydyn nhw'n credu bod yna ddyfodol cynaliadwy i orsaf fasnachol yn y Gymraeg, ac rydym ni wedi clywed hefyd gan Marc Webber fod Ofcom wedi llywyddu dros fethiant marchnad. A ydych chi'n cytuno bod Ofcom wedi bod yn eithaf gwan ar hyn? Achos rwy'n gwybod lle rydych yn sefyll ar ddadreoleiddio, ond a ydy Ofcom wedi bod, fel y dywedais i, yn wan?
English: Well, it's not for me to rehearse the past, but I had expected that the regulator would have been more robust during that period where these developments were taking place. But I do think that we need to take up the suggestion made by Marc Webber, where he argued earlier this morning that a Welsh language commercial radio station, or a Welsh commercial radio station, would be practicable. I think that's a very interesting argument. The cultural question that I would raise is: wouldn't it be possible to have collaboration between the current commercial operators to promote an increase in Welsh and Welsh language output? Because I do think there is an argument for doing that, and that would be a step towards assessing whether a commercial station of the type you suggested would be a goer. And, without rehearsing what I said earlier, I do want to look across platforms to see where Welsh language content and Welsh content more generally can permeate, and where it can't permeate and why. I think that should be part of the responsibility of Government - not necessarily my own responsibility, but a responsibility of Government - because we're not going to move ahead with these major projects in terms of bilingualism in Wales and a million Welsh speakers unless we can ensure that there is more Welsh and Welsh language content on our media.
Welsh: Wel, nid yw'n iawn i fi fynd yn ôl dros y gorffennol, ond roeddwn i wedi disgwyl y byddai'r rheoleiddiwr wedi bod yn gadarnach yn y cyfnod pan oedd y datblygiadau yma'n digwydd. Ond rydw i yn meddwl bod angen dilyn awgrym Marc Webber, lle roedd e'n dadlau wrthoch chi'n gynharach y bore yma y byddai gorsaf fasnachol Gymraeg, neu Gymreig, a Chymraeg, yn rhywbeth ymarferol. Mae honno'n ddadl ddiddorol iawn i mi. Y cwestiwn diwylliannol y byddwn i am ei godi yw: onid oes modd, hyd yn oed, cael cydweithrediad rhwng y cwmnïau masnachol presennol i hyrwyddo cynnydd yn y cynnwys Cymreig a Chymraeg? Oherwydd rydw i'n meddwl bod yna ddadl dros wneud hynny, a byddai hynny'n gam wedyn tuag at asesu a fyddai gorsaf fasnachol yn weithredol. Ac nid jest gorsaf unigol; rydw i'n meddwl bod eisiau edrych - heb ailadrodd beth a ddywedais i o'r blaen - ar draws llwyfannau i weld ble mae cynnwys Cymreig a Chymraeg yn gallu treiddio, a ble nid yw'n treiddio, a pham. Rydw i'n meddwl dylai bod hynny'n rhan o gyfrifoldeb Llywodraeth - nid o angenrheidrwydd, wrth gwrs, fy nghyfrifoldeb i, ond yn gyfrifoldeb Llywodraeth - oherwydd nid ydym ni'n mynd i symud ymlaen efo'r cynlluniau mawr yma ynglŷn â dwyieithrwydd yng Nghymru, a miliwn o siaradwyr ac ati, os nad ydym ni'n gallu sicrhau bod yna fwy o gynnwys Cymraeg a Chymreig ar ein cyfryngau ni.
English: Would we need to have this discussion about commercial radio working together if Ofcom hadn't rejected some of the licences that came before them? Has that made the situation worse in terms of radio or the companies bidding for those licences? The system has changed, and Ofcom has said that to us, but wouldn't the situation be different now if they had been more proactive, saying, 'Well, no this isn't good enough; you have to change the licence'?
Welsh: A fyddai angen inni gael y drafodaeth yma ynglŷn â radio masnachol yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd pe byddai Ofcom, efallai, wedi gwrthod rhai o'r trwyddedau a oedd wedi dod atyn nhw oedd yn gwneud y sefyllfa'n waeth o ran yr hyn yr oedd y radio neu'r cwmni'n cynnig? Rydw i'n credu bod y system wedi newid, wrth gwrs, ac mae Ofcom wedi dweud hynny wrthym ni, ond a fyddai'r sefyllfa'n wahanol nawr pe baen nhw wedi bod yn fwy proactive yn dweud, 'Wel, na, nid yw hwn yn ddigon da; mae angen ichi newid y drwydded'?
English: I can't answer that because I certainly wasn't a Minister at that time; Hywel was around at that time. My direct response in looking back at the situation, and I think I made this point earlier, is that it should have been anticipated that those things would develop in this way. Hywel, you're the broadcasting historian.
Welsh: Fedraf i ddim ateb hynny achos, yn sicr, nid oeddwn i'n Weinidog yng nghyfnod Ofcom. Roedd Hywel o gwmpas; roedd e yna. Yr ateb ar ei ben gen i, o edrych yn ôl ar y sefyllfa, ac fe ddywedais i hynny'n gynharach, rydw i'n meddwl, yw fe ddylid bod wedi rhagweld y datblygiadau oedd yn amlwg yn y cyfnod yna. Hywel, ti ydy'r hanesydd darlledu.
English: We've been entirely clear as a Government for years, when licences are reviewed, that we need to consider a number of local factors, including the language. So, we've been entirely clear. If you go through our responses to Ofcom and the BBC charter over the years, we have been clear that it's important that the language - . Of course, it's a matter for Ofcom, but we have been clear that linguistic factors do need to be considered when licences are laid.
Welsh: Rŷm ni wedi bod yn hollol glir fel Llywodraeth ers blynyddoedd, o ran pan fo yna drwyddedau yn cael eu gosod neu adolygu, bod angen rhoi ystyriaeth i nifer o ffactorau lleol, gan gynnwys yr iaith. Felly, rŷm ni wedi bod yn hollol glir. Os ewch chi yn ôl trwy ein hymatebion ni i Ofcom ac ati a siartr y BBC dros y blynyddoedd, rŷm ni wedi bod yn hollol glir bod e'n bwysig bod yr iaith - . Yn amlwg, mater i Ofcom yw e, ond rŷm ni wedi bod yn hollol glir bod angen i'r ffactorau ieithyddol gael eu hystyried pan fo trwyddedau'n cael eu gosod.
English: But when our representative is appointed to Ofcom, he or she will be most enthusiastic or they won't be appointed.
Welsh: Ond pan fydd ein cynrychiolydd ni wedi'i benodi ar Ofcom, mi fydd hi neu fo'n frwdfrydig iawn, neu fyddan nhw ddim yn cael y job.
English: What's the timetable for that, by the way?
Welsh: Beth ydy'r amserlen ar gyfer hynny, gyda llaw?
English: In terms of the member? Clearly, the memorandum of understanding has been agreed now. The process is going to start and an advertisement will appear very soon. So, yes, very, soon.
Welsh: O ran yr aelod? Yn amlwg, mae'r memorandwm cyd-ddealltwriaeth wedi cael ei gytuno nawr. Mae'r broses yn mynd i ddechrau a bydd yr hysbyseb yn ymddangos yn fuan iawn. Felly, ie, yn fuan iawn.
English: Very, very soon. [ Laughter.]
Welsh: Yn fuan iawn, iawn. [ Chwerthin.]
English: Yes. And we'll let you know, as a committee, when the advertisement appears.
Welsh: Ie. Ac fe wnawn ni roi gwybod i chi, fel pwyllgor, pan fydd yr hysbyseb yn ymddangos.
English: Okay, thank you. I'll turn now to community radio. Do you believe that there is a specific role for community radio as compared to a commercial station, for example?
Welsh: Ocê, diolch. Fe wnaf i droi nawr at radio cymunedol. A ydych chi'n meddwl bod yna rôl benodol i radio cymunedol o'i gymharu gyda gorsaf fasnachol, er enghraifft?
English: Yes, because we think that community radio - . What do we have, nine or 10 stations that are described in that way in Wales? And a new one in the pipeline in Aberystwyth - I believe that's the next one. That, clearly, if we are to develop people's participation in broadcasting, is an opportunity to train volunteers, particularly young people, possibly, in the various broadcasting arts, including journalism and so on. Yes, we believe strongly in community radio. We're very pleased that the funding provided by Government originally - and Hywel will explain further what the purpose of the £100,000 provided annually over a period of time was - led to providing stability in the sector, as far as we could see. That's why, I think, we brought that contribution to an end - because it was stable. I wasn't involved in that at the time. Do you want to say anything further on that?
Welsh: Ydym, achos rydym ni'n meddwl bod radio cymunedol - . Beth sydd gennym ni, rhyw naw neu 10 ohonyn nhw o dan yr enw hwnnw yn benodol yng Nghymru? Ac un newydd ar y ffordd yn Aberystwyth - rydw i'n meddwl mai dyna'r un nesaf. Mae hynny'n amlwg yn beth i ddatblygu cyfranogaeth pobl yn y diwylliant darlledu. Mae'n gyfle i hyfforddi gwirfoddolwyr, yn enwedig pobl ifanc, o bosib, yn y gwahanol grefftau o ddarlledu, gan gynnwys newyddiadura ac yn y blaen. Ydym, rydym ni'n credu'n gryf ynddo fo. Rydym ni'n falch iawn bod y cyllid a roddwyd gan y Llywodraeth yn wreiddiol - ac fe wnaiff Hywel esbonio'n fanylach beth oedd diben y £100,000 a roddwyd i mewn yn flynyddol am gyfnod yn y fanna - wedi arwain at helpu i greu sefydlogrwydd yn y sector, hyd y gallwn ni weld. Wedyn, dyna pam rydw i'n meddwl ein bod ni wedi terfynu'r cyfraniad yna. Nid oeddwn i'n gyfrifol am hynny ar y pryd. Wyt ti eisiau dweud rhywbeth pellach am hynny?
English: That's fine. Thank you for that. You talk about creating stability, so what's your opinion about the fund that has been scrapped? Why was that scrapped? Had it not been value for money?
Welsh: Mae'n iawn. Diolch am hynny. Rŷch chi'n sôn am greu sefydlogrwydd; beth yw'ch barn chi am y gronfa sydd wedi diflannu? Beth oedd y rheswm am hynny? Nid oedd hi wedi bod yn werth am arian?
English: Not at all. The fund was a huge success. It was a specific fund. As you know, Ofcom still has a specific fund at a Great Britain level. This was a fund specifically for Wales, so it was unique and it was a substantial boost to the sector. It was a five-year fund and then it was extended for a year in order to give the stations an opportunity to prepare for the period when that fund came to an end. So, it was specifically in place for five years. It didn't lapse because it had failed - quite the opposite. It was a huge success, but, unfortunately, we had to consider that fund along with the other things that were being budgeted for within the department. So, that's why it came to an end; not because it failed, not at all. It was a huge success. Also, of course, it was unique and generated interest outwith Wales, for example, in Scotland. There was a great deal of lobbying of the Scottish Government to have a similar fund there. So, in this area, perhaps there are accusations made that we, as a Government, have been quiet in terms of broadcasting, but here we were proactive and assisted the sector. So -
Welsh: Na, dim o gwbl. Roedd y gronfa wedi bod yn llwyddiant ysgubol. Yr oedd yn gronfa benodol. Fel rŷch chi'n gwybod, mae gan Ofcom o hyd gronfa benodol ar lefel Brydeinig. Roedd hon yn gronfa ar gyfer Cymru yn benodol, felly roedd yn unigryw, a buodd yn hwb sylweddol i'r sector. Cronfa pum mlynedd yr oedd i fod, a chafodd hi ei hymestyn am flwyddyn er mwyn rhoi cyfle i'r gorsafoedd i baratoi ar ôl i'r gronfa ddod i ben. Felly, cronfa benodol oedd hi, am bum mlynedd. Ni ddaeth y gronfa i ben oherwydd ei bod wedi bod yn fethiant - i'r gwrthwyneb. Buodd yn llwyddiant ysgubol, ond, yn anffodus, roedd yn rhaid ystyried y gronfa gyda phethau eraill a oedd yn cael eu cyllido o fewn yr adran. Felly, dyna'r unig reswm y daeth i ben; nid oherwydd ei bod wedi bod yn fethiant, dim o gwbl. Buodd yn llwyddiant ysgubol a buodd yn hwb. Hefyd, wrth gwrs, roedd yn unigryw a chreodd diddordeb y tu allan i Gymru, er enghraifft yn yr Alban. Buodd yna lot o lobïo i Lywodraeth yr Alban i gael cronfa debyg yn fanna. Felly, yn y maes yma, efallai, mae cyhuddiadau'n cael eu gwneud ein bod ni, fel Llywodraeth, yn dawel o ran darlledu, ond roedd hwn yn le lle y buom yn proactive a helpu'r sector. Felly -
English: But then you got rid of it. It was something successful, and you got rid of it. One would think that you would continue with something that was successful.
Welsh: Ond wedyn rŷch chi wedi cael gwared arni hi. Rhywbeth llwyddiannus, a rŷch chi wedi cael gwared ohoni. Byddech chi'n meddwl y byddech chi'n parhau gyda rhywbeth sydd yn llwyddiannus.
English: Well, at the time, there were decisions that had to be made in terms of prioritising funding. So, that's the reason.
Welsh: Wel, ar y pryd, roedd yna benderfyniadau o ran blaenoriaethu cyllid. Felly, dyna'r rheswm.
English: May I make it clear - ? And I've said this. I don't think I'm accountable for decisions made before I became Minister. I will respond to anything else, but I don't think you should ask me, or Hywel, if he's not eager to respond, about the specific reasons at the time. But what happened happened, unfortunately, with regard to culture and broadcasting and so on, within the Government, and that has now changed. But that was the situation at the time.
Welsh: A gaf i ei gwneud hi'n hollol glir - ? Ac rydw i wedi dweud hyn. Nid ydw i yn meddwl fy mod i'n atebol am benderfyniadau a ddigwyddodd cyn imi fod yn Weinidog. Mi wnaf ateb dros unrhyw beth arall, ond nid ydw i'n meddwl y dylech chi fy holi i, na Hywel, os nad yw'n awyddus iawn, am y rhesymau penodol ar y pryd. Ond mae beth ddigwyddodd wedi digwydd, yn anffodus, ynglŷn â safle diwylliant a darlledu'r pethau yma i gyd, o fewn y Llywodraeth, ac mae hynny bellach wedi newid. Ond dyna oedd y sefyllfa.
