English: Okay. Thank you for a variety of important points in respect of coal tips, and I think your constituency - your region - and the constituency I represent obviously have a large number of coal tips. I suppose the starting point, of course, is that when the 1994 legislation came in - and, again, going back, in fact, to the legislation after Aberfan in 1969 - the focus was on working mines and operating tips rather than defunct tips. And, of course, a further matter has arisen on that, which is, of course, the difference between reclamation and making tips safe. Because reclamation in many areas are areas where Welsh Government has been engaged in, but, of course, the issue of safety of tips is something that has particularly emerged as a result of climate change, and relates to responsibilities, I believe, that go well before devolution. Now, you will have heard me the last time this was raised - and I believe you participated in the questions at that time - that I believe that, at the very least, there is a moral and a political responsibility of UK Government. The issue of legal liability becomes much more complex because of, really, the weakness of the legislative framework that was created after 1994, where you have tips that are now in different ownerships. Some are still in the ownership of the Coal Authority, who remain responsible for them. The issues arise as to whether the responsibility only relates in terms of safety risks or broader, longer term risks. Whilst all this is going on and whilst the UK Government has clearly abrogated, I think quite shamefully, any responsibility in respect of the pre-devolution legacy of the coal industry, we, nevertheless, have to ensure that our communities are safe. Consequentially, the Law Commission has been carrying out its work. I believe that work is close to conclusion. They did hold a number of sessions, which I understand were quite well attended, within Wales. I've met with them - with the Law Commission - as well and have discussed the ongoing work, and, of course, it is the intention to legislate in this area. We have to legislate to create a framework. The arguments in respect of funding will carry on and remain, but, as a Welsh Government, our priority, as I've said, is towards the safety of the people of Wales and our communities. So, within the next three-year budget, there's £44.4 million in there for safety work. We've also provided £800,000 to the Coal Authority in respect of their carrying out inspections of high-risk tips, and there is still work going on in respect of the evaluation and analysis of what those are and where they are and what the levels of safety are. And I understand the Minister for Climate Change has, obviously, commented on that in the past and will no doubt do so in the near future.
Welsh: Iawn. Diolch am amryw o bwyntiau pwysig mewn perthynas â thomenni glo, a chredaf fod gan eich etholaeth - eich rhanbarth - a'r etholaeth rwy'n ei chynrychioli nifer fawr o domenni glo, yn amlwg. Mae'n debyg mai'r man cychwyn, wrth gwrs, yw pan ddaeth deddfwriaeth 1994 i rym - a chan fynd yn ôl, eto, at y ddeddfwriaeth ar ôl Aberfan ym 1969 - roedd y ffocws ar fwyngloddiau a thomenni gweithredol yn hytrach na hen domenni. Ac wrth gwrs, mae mater pellach wedi codi mewn perthynas â hynny, sef wrth gwrs, y gwahaniaeth rhwng adfer tomenni a'u gwneud yn ddiogel. Oherwydd mae adfer, mewn sawl achos, wedi bod yn faes y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymwneud ag ef, ond wrth gwrs, mae mater diogelwch tomenni yn rhywbeth sydd wedi dod i'r amlwg yn fwyaf arbennig o ganlyniad i'r newid yn yr hinsawdd, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn ymwneud â chyfrifoldebau sy'n dyddio o gyfnod ymhell cyn datganoli. Nawr, fe fyddwch wedi fy nghlywed yn dweud y tro diwethaf i hyn gael ei godi - a chredaf ichi gymryd rhan yn y cwestiynau bryd hynny - fy mod yn credu bod cyfrifoldeb moesol a gwleidyddol fan lleiaf ar Lywodraeth y DU yn hyn o beth. Mae mater atebolrwydd cyfreithiol yn llawer mwy cymhleth, oherwydd gwendid y fframwaith deddfwriaethol a grëwyd ar ôl 1994 yn y bôn, lle mae gennych domenni sydd bellach mewn perchnogaeth wahanol. Mae rhai ohonynt yn dal ym mherchnogaeth yr Awdurdod Glo, sy'n parhau i fod yn gyfrifol amdanynt. Mae cwestiynau'n codi ynglŷn ag a yw'r cyfrifoldeb yn ymwneud â risgiau diogelwch yn unig neu â risgiau ehangach mwy hirdymor. Tra bod hyn oll yn mynd rhagddo, a thra bod Llywodraeth y DU yn amlwg wedi ymwrthod, yn gwbl gywilyddus yn fy marn i, ag unrhyw gyfrifoldeb dros yr hyn a adawodd y diwydiant glo ar ei ôl yn y cyfnod cyn datganoli, mae'n rhaid inni sicrhau, serch hynny, fod ein cymunedau'n ddiogel. O ganlyniad, mae Comisiwn y Gyfraith wedi bod yn cyflawni ei waith. Credaf fod y gwaith yn agos at fod wedi ei gwblhau. Fe wnaethant gynnal nifer o sesiynau yng Nghymru, a chawsant eu mynychu gan nifer eithaf da o bobl yn ôl yr hyn a ddeallaf. Rwyf wedi cyfarfod â hwy - gyda Chomisiwn y Gyfraith - ac wedi trafod y gwaith sy'n mynd rhagddo, ac wrth gwrs, y bwriad yw deddfu yn y maes hwn. Mae'n rhaid inni ddeddfu er mwyn creu fframwaith. Bydd y dadleuon ynglŷn â chyllid yn parhau, ond fel Llywodraeth Cymru, ein blaenoriaeth, fel y dywedais, yw diogelwch pobl Cymru a'n cymunedau. Felly, o fewn y gyllideb tair blynedd nesaf, mae £44.4 miliwn ar gael ar gyfer gwaith diogelwch. Rydym hefyd wedi darparu £800,000 i'r Awdurdod Glo mewn perthynas â chynnal arolygiadau o domenni risg uchel, ac mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo o hyd ar werthuso a dadansoddi pa rai yw'r rheini a'u lleoliad a beth yw'r lefelau diogelwch. Ac rwy'n deall bod y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd, yn amlwg, wedi gwneud sylwadau ar hynny yn y gorffennol ac y bydd yn sicr o wneud hynny yn y dyfodol agos.
