English: Thank you, Minister, for bringing forward today's statement. I certainly welcome the ambition to build a stronger, greener economy here in Wales. A key part of making and seeing that green economy a success is the role that local authorities can play in achieving this. In light of this, I was disappointed to see that local authorities and councils were not mentioned in your statement today, so perhaps you'd want to mention them in response to my points. Indeed, I heard you mention some of the hydrogen opportunities in north Wales, and I note today the excellent announcement by the Mersey Dee Alliance that they've been awarded funding by the UK Government for carbon capture and underground storage infrastructure. I'll quote from the release: 'The implementation of CCUS from 2025 will safeguard the future of thousands of high value manufacturing jobs in the Mersey Dee and connected economic areas in North Wales'. They go on to say that it'll create around 6,000 new jobs because of this investment in hydrogen infrastructure. I think it's an excellent example of four councils working together with other organisations to help deliver a thriving, greener economy in north Wales. So, Minister, what discussions have you had with local authorities in relation to a greener economy, and what role do you think they could play in achieving this? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog, am gyflwyno'r datganiad heddiw. Rwyf i'n sicr yn croesawu'r uchelgais i adeiladu economi gryfach a gwyrddach yma yng Nghymru. Rhan allweddol o sicrhau a gweld llwyddiant yr economi werdd honno yw'r rhan y gall awdurdodau lleol ei chwarae wrth gyflawni hyn. Yng ngoleuni hyn, roeddwn i wedi siomi o weld nad oedd sôn am awdurdodau lleol a chynghorau yn eich datganiad heddiw, felly efallai yr hoffech chi sôn amdanyn nhw mewn ymateb i fy mhwyntiau. Yn wir, clywais i chi'n sôn am rai o'r cyfleoedd hydrogen yn y gogledd, ac rwy'n nodi heddiw y cyhoeddiad rhagorol gan Gynghrair Mersi Dyfrdwy eu bod wedi cael cyllid gan Lywodraeth y DU ar gyfer seilwaith dal a storio carbon tanddaearol. Dyfynnaf o'r datganiad: 'Bydd rhoi CCUS ar waith o 2025 yn diogelu dyfodol miloedd o swyddi gweithgynhyrchu gwerth uchel yn Mersi Dyfrdwy ac ardaloedd economaidd cysylltiedig yng Ngogledd Cymru'. Maen nhw'n mynd ymlaen i ddweud y bydd yn creu tua 6,000 o swyddi newydd oherwydd y buddsoddiad hwn mewn seilwaith hydrogen. Rwy'n credu ei bod yn enghraifft wych o bedwar cyngor yn cydweithio â sefydliadau eraill i helpu i sicrhau economi wyrddach a ffyniannus yng ngogledd Cymru. Felly, Gweinidog, pa drafodaethau ydych chi wedi eu cael gydag awdurdodau lleol mewn cysylltiad ag economi wyrddach, a pha ran ydych chi'n credu y gallen nhw ei chwarae wrth gyflawni hyn? Diolch.
English: I just wanted to pick up, Minister, on your point around coal tips, and I wanted to ask if I'm to take from your comments and the statements that discussions with the UK Government last week therefore failed to reach an agreement over who would pay for this work. Is it not therefore time for Welsh Government to push ahead with the work for the very reason that you outlined in your statement, let alone for safety reasons for the communities living in their shadows? I also wanted to ask about the arms industry here in Wales, an industry that continues to be supported by the Welsh Government, and an industry that, according to Scientists for Global Responsibility, is one of the key greenhouse gas emitters in the UK, with a carbon footprint that dwarfs that of many of the planet's smaller nations. An obvious question that therefore springs to mind is why the aerospace and defence sector in Wales is continuing to receive both direct and indirect financial support from the Welsh Government, including funding through several enterprise zones that act as hubs for the sector. Can the Minister therefore outline if there are plans to withdraw funding from industries in Wales that are currently part of the problem that we are all trying to tackle as a society, and invest instead in industries that are part of the solution?
Welsh: Roeddwn i eisiau cyfeirio, Gweinidog, at eich pwynt ynghylch tomenni glo, ac roeddwn i eisiau gofyn a wyf i ar ddeall o'ch sylwadau a'r datganiadau fod trafodaethau gyda Llywodraeth y DU yr wythnos diwethaf felly wedi methu â dod i gytundeb ynghylch pwy fyddai'n talu am y gwaith hwn. Onid yw'n bryd felly i Lywodraeth Cymru fwrw ymlaen â'r gwaith am yr union reswm y gwnaethoch chi ei amlinellu yn eich datganiad, heb sôn am resymau diogelwch ar gyfer y cymunedau sy'n byw yn eu cysgodion? Roeddwn i hefyd eisiau gofyn am y diwydiant arfau yma yng Nghymru, diwydiant sy'n parhau i gael ei gefnogi gan Lywodraeth Cymru, a diwydiant sydd, yn ôl Gwyddonwyr dros Gyfrifoldeb Byd-eang, yn un o'r allyrwyr nwyon tŷ gwydr allweddol yn y DU, gydag ôl troed carbon yn bychanu llawer o wledydd llai y blaned. Un cwestiwn amlwg sy'n dod i'r meddwl felly yw pam mae'r sector awyrofod ac amddiffyn yng Nghymru yn parhau i dderbyn cymorth ariannol uniongyrchol ac anuniongyrchol gan Lywodraeth Cymru, gan gynnwys cyllid drwy sawl ardal fenter sy'n gweithredu fel canolfannau ar gyfer y sector. A wnaiff y Gweinidog felly amlinellu a oes cynlluniau i dynnu arian yn ôl oddi wrth ddiwydiannau yng Nghymru sydd ar hyn o bryd yn rhan o'r broblem yr ydym ni i gyd yn ceisio mynd i'r afael â hi fel cymdeithas, a buddsoddi yn lle hynny mewn diwydiannau sy'n rhan o'r ateb?
English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, whilst we all know we need to do more to transition the Welsh economy into a greener one for the future of our planet, many of my constituents in Port Talbot will have legitimate fears about what that might mean for the future of the steel industry and the surrounding community. I know whilst many other Members have mentioned the steel industry, it's also important to remember that the industry can play a key role in reducing our carbon footprint too through the production of things like wind turbines and greener vehicles. Tata itself has taken steps over the last few years to ensure that its steel production is greener, but nearly all industries will need to go further in years to come if we are to meet our targets. Can I ask what steps you'll take to ensure that the steel industry in Port Talbot remains economically competitive on a global scale and protects the local economy, whilst also ensuring it plays its part in a transition to a greener economy?
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Gweinidog, er ein bod ni i gyd yn gwybod bod angen i ni wneud mwy i drawsnewid economi Cymru yn un wyrddach ar gyfer dyfodol ein planed, bydd gan lawer o fy etholwyr i ym Mhort Talbot ofnau dilys ynghylch yr hyn y gallai hynny ei olygu ar gyfer dyfodol y diwydiant dur a'r gymuned gyfagos. Rwy'n gwybod er bod llawer o Aelodau eraill wedi sôn am y diwydiant dur, ei bod hefyd yn bwysig cofio y gall y diwydiant chwarae rhan allweddol yn y gwaith o leihau ein hôl troed carbon hefyd drwy gynhyrchu pethau fel tyrbinau gwynt a cherbydau gwyrddach. Mae Tata ei hun wedi cymryd camau dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf i sicrhau bod ei systemau cynhyrchu dur yn fwy gwyrdd, ond bydd angen i bron pob diwydiant wneud mwy yn y blynyddoedd i ddod os ydym ni am gyrraedd ein targedau. A gaf i ofyn pa gamau y byddwch chi'n eu cymryd i sicrhau bod y diwydiant dur ym Mhort Talbot yn parhau i fod yn gystadleuol yn economaidd ar raddfa fyd-eang ac yn diogelu'r economi leol, wrth sicrhau ei bod yn chwarae ei rhan mewn newid i economi wyrddach hefyd?
English: The next item is a statement by the Minister for education on the implementation of net-zero carbon and the twenty-first century schools and colleges programme. I call on Jeremy Miles.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog addysg ar weithredu carbon sero net a'r rhaglen ysgolion a cholegau ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Galwaf ar Jeremy Miles.
English: Yes, there is, and I think that this presents an opportunity, not solely from the point of view of the contribution the building itself makes to our larger targets, but there's also a very important opportunity for us to grasp here to use the development itself as a teaching tool, if you like. My visit yesterday to Llancarfan primary was a very, very good example of this. Unfortunately, obviously, because of COVID, they hadn't been able, as a school, to visit the site in the way that I think they would have liked to have been able to do, but they were describing to me that they will - . When the school is completed early next year, it'll have QR codes set at different points in the school where it'll be a teaching aid, effectively, to explain to pupils why the building is built in this particular way, what the consequences are of that and to explain to them the broader environmental impact of the choices that have been made. I think that's just a very inspiring way of approaching this, really, and I think there's a lot of potential for us to try and do more and more of that. I think the Member makes a very, very valid point about the limitations, perhaps, on some of our older schools because of where they're situated, and the capacity to expand and to develop in the way that we might like isn't there. I think that's one of the challenges that I've been trying to outline in terms of the longer term retrofit ambitions that we have, but it is absolutely essential that we do that as part of our broader aim of being a net-zero nation.
Welsh: Oes, ac rwy'n credu bod hyn yn gyfle, nid yn unig o safbwynt y cyfraniad y mae'r adeilad ei hun yn ei wneud i'n targedau mwy, ond mae cyfle pwysig iawn hefyd i ni ddeall yma y gallwn ddefnyddio'r datblygiad ei hun fel offeryn addysgu, os mynnwch. Roedd fy ymweliad ddoe ag ysgol gynradd Llancarfan yn enghraifft dda iawn o hyn. Yn anffodus, yn amlwg, oherwydd COVID, nid oedden nhw fel ysgol wedi gallu ymweld â'r safle, yn y ffordd yr oedden nhw wedi dymuno, ond yr oedden nhw'n disgrifio wrthyf y byddan nhw - . Pan fydd yr ysgol wedi'i chwblhau'n gynnar y flwyddyn nesaf, bydd codau QR wedi'u gosod mewn gwahanol fannau yn yr ysgol lle byddant yn gymorth addysgu, i bob pwrpas, i esbonio i ddisgyblion pam y mae'r adeilad wedi'i adeiladu yn y ffordd arbennig hon, beth yw canlyniadau hynny a bydd yn esbonio wrthyn nhw effaith amgylcheddol ehangach y dewisiadau a wnaed. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n ffordd ysbrydoledig iawn o ymdrin â hyn, mewn gwirionedd, a chredaf fod llawer o botensial i ni geisio gwneud mwy a mwy o hynny. Rwy'n credu bod yr Aelod yn gwneud pwynt hynod o ddilys am y cyfyngiadau, efallai, ar rai o'n hysgolion hŷn oherwydd lle maen nhw wedi'u lleoli, ac nid oes capasiti i ehangu a datblygu yn y ffordd yr hoffem ni ei weld. Credaf mai dyna un o'r heriau yr wyf wedi bod yn ceisio'i hamlinellu o ran yr uchelgeisiau ôl-osod tymor hwy sydd gennym, ond mae'n gwbl hanfodol ein bod yn gwneud hynny fel rhan o'n nod ehangach o fod yn genedl sero-net.
English: Net zero is achieved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Energy efficiency of buildings is, as the Minister knows, only one route to that target, and other factors are also important, some of which he has mentioned, such as that active and safe travel to school is possible, that the new net-zero twenty-first century schools programme doesn't increase car use or congestion or is detrimental to air quality, and that green communal spaces, such as playing fields, or flood-risk areas, are not built upon. Given this, can the Minister confirm that the Government will, therefore, not fund Neath Port Talbot Council's plans to build a super primary school in the centre of Pontardawe in the Swansea valley under the twenty-first century schools programme, which will do all of these things? Indeed, the officers' response to concerns regarding increasing car use raised during the consultation on these plans stated: 'This proposal recognises that for some children walking or cycling to school will not be possible However opportunities will still exist through curricular and extra-curricular arrangements for pupils to learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle'. That doesn't cut it, does it? Oh, but you said this will only apply to proposals approved after next January. Minister, where spades are not yet in the ground and contracts not yet signed, as is the case with this plan in Pontardawe, could you tell us why is that?
Welsh: Cyflawnir sero-net drwy leihau allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr. Mae effeithlonrwydd ynni adeiladau, fel y gŵyr y Gweinidog, yn un llwybr yn unig tuag at y targed hwnnw, ac mae ffactorau eraill hefyd yn bwysig, soniwyd am rai ganddo, megis bod teithio llesol a diogel i'r ysgol yn bosibl ac na ddylai rhaglen ysgolion newydd ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain gynyddu'r defnydd o geir nac achosi mwy o dagfeydd na bod yn niweidiol i ansawdd aer, ac na ddylid adeiladu ar fannau cymunedol gwyrdd, megis caeau chwarae, nac ar ardaloedd lle mae perygl o lifogydd. O ystyried hyn, a wnaiff y Gweinidog gadarnhau na fydd y Llywodraeth, felly, yn ariannu cynlluniau Cyngor Castell-nedd Port Talbot i adeiladu ysgol gynradd wych yng nghanol Pontardawe yng nghwm Tawe o dan raglen ysgolion yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, a fydd yn gwneud yr holl bethau hyn? Yn wir, nododd ymateb y swyddogion i bryderon ynghylch cynyddu'r defnydd o geir a godwyd yn ystod yr ymgynghoriad ar y cynlluniau hyn: 'Mae'r cynnig hwn yn cydnabod na fydd yn bosibl i rai plant gerdded neu feicio i'r ysgol Fodd bynnag, bydd cyfleoedd yn dal i fodoli trwy drefniadau cwricwlaidd ac allgyrsiol i ddisgyblion ddysgu am bwysigrwydd ffordd iach o fyw'. Nid yw hynny'n ddigon da, nad yw? O, ond dywedoch fod hyn dim ond yn berthnasol i gynigion a gymeradwyir ôl mis Ionawr nesaf, Gweinidog, pan nad yw rhawiau yn y ddaear eto a chontractau heb eu llofnodi eto, fel sy'n wir am y cynllun hwn ym Mhontardawe, a allech chi ddweud wrthym pam mai dyna yw'r sefyllfa?
English: I'm not sure I understand the last question, but, on the broader point the Member was making, I know that she has written to me recently in relation to this. She will also know that, because of the fact that the school to which she's referring is a school in my constituency, a few yards from my office, I know that she understands that, for ministerial code reasons, I can't answer that question, but she will get a response to the letter that she has sent me from another Minister as a consequence of that. I hope that she would support the ambition that is described in the statement today. I think it's a very significant contribution to how future projects can contribute to our very ambitious aims of becoming a net-zero Wales.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn siŵr fy mod yn deall y cwestiwn olaf, ond, ar y pwynt ehangach yr oedd yr Aelod yn ei wneud, gwn ei bod wedi ysgrifennu ataf yn ddiweddar ynglŷn â hyn. Bydd hefyd yn gwybod, oherwydd y ffaith bod yr ysgol y mae'n cyfeirio ati yn ysgol yn fy etholaeth i, ychydig lathenni o fy swyddfa, gwn ei bod yn deall, am resymau cod gweinidogol, na allaf ateb y cwestiwn yna, ond bydd yn cael ymateb i'r llythyr y mae wedi'i anfon ataf gan Weinidog arall o ganlyniad i hynny. Rwy'n gobeithio y byddai hi'n cefnogi'r uchelgais a ddisgrifir yn y datganiad heddiw. Rwy'n credu ei fod yn gyfraniad arwyddocaol iawn at sut y gall prosiectau yn y dyfodol gyfrannu at ein nodau uchelgeisiol iawn o fod yn Gymru sero-net.
English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I certainly welcome this announcement today. I think you're right to put education at the forefront of environmental sustainability, because it's a generational change that's needed. There are examples of children being very much involved in the RainScape project in Llanelli schools, and the children are fascinated by it and they learn maths from it and lots about their environment. And that's about surface water. Since I have a very short time, there are a few things that I want to bring up in the net-zero carbon education building. Of course, we had to have the workforce, then we had to have the materials, and those materials have to be local so that we can deliver the projects. But looking at the sites is equally important. They should not be greenfield sites, and they should be sites that are accessible to the community, in a way that Jenny has already mentioned, where people can either walk or cycle. And I know that's part of your thinking. But we can't hide away from the fact that the public sector is probably the biggest opportunity that we have to drive change in the construction industry here in Wales, and I very much welcome it.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Rwy'n sicr yn croesawu'r cyhoeddiad hwn heddiw. Rwy'n credu eich bod yn iawn i roi addysg ar frig y rhestr o ran cynaliadwyedd amgylcheddol, oherwydd mae'n newid cenedliadol sydd ei angen. Ceir enghreifftiau o blant yn cymryd rhan fawr yn y prosiect GlawLif yn ysgolion Llanelli, ac mae'r plant wedi'u cyfareddu ganddo ac maen nhw'n dysgu mathemateg yn ei sgil a llawer am eu hamgylchedd. Ac mae hynny'n ymwneud â dŵr wyneb. Gan fod gennyf amser byr iawn, mae rhai pethau yr wyf eisiau eu codi o ran yr adeilad addysg carbon sero-net. Wrth gwrs, bu'n rhaid i ni gael y gweithlu, yna bu'n rhaid i ni gael y deunyddiau, ac mae'n rhaid i'r deunyddiau hynny fod yn lleol fel y gallwn gyflawni'r prosiectau. Ond mae edrych ar y safleoedd yr un mor bwysig. Ni ddylen nhw fod yn safleoedd tir glas, a dylen nhw fod yn safleoedd sy'n hygyrch i'r gymuned, mewn ffordd y mae Jenny eisoes wedi sôn amdani, lle gall pobl naill ai gerdded neu feicio. A dwi'n gwybod bod hynny'n rhan o'r hyn yr ydych yn ei ystyried. Ond ni allwn guddio rhag y ffaith mai'r sector cyhoeddus, mae'n debyg, yw'r cyfle mwyaf sydd gennym i sbarduno newid yn y diwydiant adeiladu yma yng Nghymru, ac rwy'n ei groesawu'n fawr.
English: I thank Joyce Watson for her welcome for the statement overall, and I think it shows her long-term commitment to this agenda as well. I do share the importance of the point that she makes about enabling the development of our future schools to really maximise the opportunity for parents and learners to use other routes to school that are environmentally friendly, and I'm encouraged by the work that we're doing with the active travel board to seek to maximise that, both in relation to our existing school estate but also in relation to a new baseline specification for new schools into the future, which will reflect the principles in the 'Llwybr Newydd' transport strategy. But, just in the way that Jenny Rathbone was also saying, there is a curriculum opportunity here as well, I think, which is to use these future developments as a means of really enabling our young learners to have a full understanding of how important it is to make those active travel contributions to their learning.
Welsh: Diolch i Joyce Watson am ei chroeso i'r datganiad yn gyffredinol, a chredaf ei fod yn dangos ei hymrwymiad hirdymor i'r agenda hon hefyd. Rwyf yn rhannu pwysigrwydd y pwynt y mae'n ei wneud ynghylch galluogi datblygiad ein hysgolion yn y dyfodol i sicrhau'r cyfleoedd gorau i rieni a dysgwyr ddefnyddio llwybrau eraill i'r ysgol sy'n ecogyfeillgar, ac fe'm calonogir gan y gwaith yr ydym yn ei wneud gyda'r bwrdd teithio llesol i sicrhau'r manteision gorau, mewn cysylltiad â'n hystad ysgol bresennol ond hefyd mewn cysylltiad â manyleb sylfaenol newydd ar gyfer ysgolion newydd i'r dyfodol, a fydd yn adlewyrchu'r egwyddorion yn y strategaeth drafnidiaeth 'Llwybr Newydd'. Ond, fel yr oedd Jenny Rathbone hefyd yn dweud, mae cyfle o ran y cwricwlwm yma hefyd, mi gredaf, sef defnyddio'r datblygiadau hyn yn y dyfodol fel ffordd o alluogi ein dysgwyr ifanc i gael dealltwriaeth lawn o ba mor bwysig yw hi i wneud y cyfraniadau teithio llesol hynny at eu dysgu.
English: Before we move on to item 7, I just want to remind Members that I know it's difficult for backbenchers to be able to ask questions in a minute, because I've been there and I know the difficulty in timings, but can I remind Members, if you do use your full allocation for your context, you are using someone else's allocation to ask your question? Today, we've been able to get the questions undertaken in the time given, but we've been in situations where we haven't been able to do that because the number of Members wishing to speak is a larger number. If you then go over your time, you're taking someone else's time in those situations. Could you please therefore keep your contributions to the time allocations so we can get as many people who want to speak in as possible, please? And it's happened in both statements this afternoon.
Welsh: Cyn i ni symud ymlaen at eitem 7, hoffwn atgoffa'r Aelodau fy mod yn gwybod ei bod yn anodd i aelodau meinciau cefn allu gofyn cwestiynau mewn munud, oherwydd yr wyf wedi bod yno, a gwn am yr anhawster o ran amseru, ond a gaf i atgoffa'r Aelodau, os defnyddiwch eich dyraniad llawn ar gyfer eich cyd-destun, rydych yn defnyddio dyraniad rhywun arall i ofyn eich cwestiwn? Heddiw, rydym wedi cael y cwestiynau yn yr amser a roddwyd, ond rydym wedi bod mewn sefyllfaoedd lle nad ydym wedi gallu gwneud hynny oherwydd bod nifer yr Aelodau sy'n dymuno siarad yn fwy. Os ewch chi dros eich amser fe fyddwch chi'n cymryd amser rhywun arall yn y sefyllfaoedd hynny. A wnewch chi felly gadw eich cyfraniadau o fewn yr amser a ddyrannwyd fel y gallwn gael cynifer o bobl sydd eisiau siarad â phosibl, os gwelwch yn dda? Ac mae wedi digwydd yn y ddau ddatganiad y prynhawn yma.
English: Can I ask a point of order? The time allocated for this was up until 6.10 p.m., so I'm disturbed that other Members were not permitted to speak if they'd indicated they wished to do so.
Welsh: A gaf i godi pwynt o drefn? Roedd yr amser a neilltuwyd ar gyfer hwn hyd at 6.10 p.m., felly rwy'n poeni na chaniatawyd i Aelodau eraill siarad a hwythau wedi nodi eu bod yn dymuno gwneud hynny.
English: No other Members have not been permitted to speak. I said that previously we'd been in that situation, not on this occasion. I did also say that on this occasion, we didn't need that, but we could be in a situation where we do. And the time allocated on your sheet, by the way, isn't necessarily the time we were at; we were watching the time in real time, in one sense.
Welsh: Nid oes unrhyw Aelodau eraill na chawsant siarad. Dywedais ein bod wedi bod yn y sefyllfa honno o'r blaen, nid y tro hwn. Dywedais hefyd nad oedd angen hwnnw arnom y tro hwn, ond gallem fod mewn sefyllfa pryd bydd angen hwnnw. Ac nid yr amser a ddyrennir ar eich dalen, gyda llaw, oedd yr amser y cadwyd ato o reidrwydd; roeddem yn gwylio'r amser mewn amser real, mewn un ystyr.
English: Item 7, a statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services: an update on the decarbonisation programme for health and social care. I call on the Minister, Eluned Morgan.
Welsh: Eitem 7, datganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol: diweddariad ar y rhaglen ddatgarboneiddio ar gyfer iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol. Galwaf ar y Gweinidog, Eluned Morgan.
