English: This matter has been raised with me as higher education spokesperson for Plaid Cymru by the NUS, who are concerned about how fast some of these flats are being built, and the boom that is happening also here in Wales, and how that affects students. They've told me that, sometimes, students are put into flats without the whole accommodation having been finished, and therefore fire safety processes are not being properly explained to those students when they first move in. So, I'd like to understand, if that's happening, what communication you've had with universities, who are responsible, ultimately, for the welfare of those students who may be moving into half-built accommodation processes. Some of these landlords are very fast to take money off students but very slow to make any form of changes if there are complaints, so I'd also want to be reassured that, where private landlords are operating and this type of cladding is in existence, what the nature of the conversations are with them, because my understanding is that standards for student accommodation are still lower than other forms of accommodation, and it seems ridiculous to me that students would be placed in more unsafe accommodation than the general population. So, I'd want to seek more clarity on that. Also, you and I will know from local matters that this has happened closer to home in Swansea, where disruption was caused by a fire in the Omnia accommodation block in the Oldway development, so I'd like to understand what conversations have happened ongoing from that so that we can learn from it, and that it won't be repeated again. It comes back to the issue of payment as well - I know, I was on the committee, previously, that's chaired by John Griffiths - in relation to the fact that some of these people who are living in these private flats are being forced to pay £39,000 in many occasions to make their flats safe, when they simply can't afford it. Is there not a way that Welsh Government can support those flat owners, be it by a Government loan or grant, to help them be able to afford these updates to their flats so that they're not left in huge amounts of debt because they've had to deal with a problem that wasn't of their own making?
Welsh: Codwyd y mater hwn gyda mi, fel llefarydd addysg uwch dros Blaid Cymru, gan Undeb Cenedlaethol y Myfyrwyr, sy'n poeni pa mor gyflym y mae rhai o'r fflatiau hyn yn cael eu hadeiladu, a'r ymchwydd sy'n digwydd yma yng Nghymru hefyd, a sut y mae hynny'n effeithio ar fyfyrwyr. Maent wedi dweud wrthyf fod myfyrwyr, weithiau, yn cael eu rhoi mewn fflatiau pan nad yw'r llety cyfan wedi'i orffen, ac felly nid yw prosesau diogelwch tân yn cael eu hesbonio'n briodol i'r myfyrwyr hynny pan fyddant yn symud i mewn am y tro cyntaf. Felly, hoffwn ddeall, os yw hynny'n digwydd, pa sgyrsiau rydych wedi'u cael gyda phrifysgolion, sy'n gyfrifol, yn y pen draw, am les y myfyrwyr hynny a allai fod yn symud i adeiladau sydd heb eu gorffen. Mae rhai o'r landlordiaid hyn yn barod iawn i gymryd arian gan fyfyrwyr ond yn amharod iawn i wneud unrhyw fath o newidiadau os oes cwynion, felly hoffwn gael sicrwydd, lle mae landlordiaid preifat yn gweithredu a lle ceir y math hwn o gladin, ynglŷn â beth yw natur y sgyrsiau gyda hwy, oherwydd fy nealltwriaeth i yw fod safonau ar gyfer llety myfyrwyr yn dal yn is na mathau eraill o lety, ac mae'n ymddangos yn hurt i mi y byddai myfyrwyr yn cael eu rhoi mewn llety mwy anniogel na'r boblogaeth yn gyffredinol. Felly, hoffwn gael mwy o eglurder ar hynny. Hefyd, fe fyddwch chi a minnau'n gwybod o faterion lleol fod hyn wedi digwydd yn nes adref yn Abertawe, lle bu tân ym mloc llety Omnia yn natblygiad Oldway, felly hoffwn ddeall pa sgyrsiau a gafwyd ers hynny fel y gallwn ddysgu oddi wrtho, ac fel na fydd yn cael ei ailadrodd eto. Mae'n dod yn ôl at fater taliadau hefyd - rwy'n gwybod, roeddwn ar y pwyllgor yn flaenorol o dan gadeiryddiaeth John Griffiths - a'r ffaith bod rhai o'r bobl hyn sy'n byw yn y fflatiau preifat hyn yn cael eu gorfodi i dalu £39,000 mewn sawl achos i wneud eu fflatiau'n ddiogel, pan na allant fforddio gwneud hynny. Onid oes ffordd y gall Llywodraeth Cymru gynorthwyo perchnogion y fflatiau hynny, drwy fenthyciad neu grant gan y Llywodraeth, i'w helpu i allu fforddio'r addasiadau hyn i'w fflatiau fel nad ydynt yn cael eu gadael mewn dyled sylweddol oherwydd eu bod wedi gorfod ymdrin â phroblem lle nad oedd bai arnynt hwy?
