English: I'll keep my contribution short, given that we're so pressed for time. I wanted to make the case for higher level apprenticeships and the fact that development of degree apprenticeships in Wales is at level 6. I think there are universities that are ready to provide degree-level apprenticeships at Master's level. I think that's a significant way forward that will, certainly from the evidence in England, suggest that degree-level apprenticeships will be taken up in STEM subjects by women who want to study those subjects, as well as amongst learners from areas of traditionally low participation in higher education. Therefore, a Master's progression is quite important. I'm pleased that the Welsh Government has accepted recommendations 9 and 10 regarding the need for clarity and security when it comes to the funding of degree apprenticeships. But I also think - . I'm concerned about the rejection of recommendation 12, which says that the universities are autonomously responsible for the design and delivery of their courses, but I would like an opportunity to scrutinise, in this Chamber or in committee, the roll-out of degree apprenticeships across Wales. I fear that if it is just left only to universities, they will do a good job, but the democratic accountability may well be missing. So, I think that's quite important. I'd also like to pick up on a point made by Siân Gwenllian. I spoke to my predecessor yesterday, Jeff Cuthbert, my predecessor as an Assembly Member for Caerphilly - I'd say to the Chamber I've no plans to ever become a police and crime commissioner, but he is currently the police and crime commissioner for my region - and he raised that concern about the £2.8 million in apprenticeship levy that goes to the UK and the police service is unable to draw on it. It's a massively significant issue that doesn't happen in England and it is a controversial one. It is bizarre that the Treasury then expects the Welsh Government to fund vocational training in the police force and, therefore, I would urge the Minister and the Government to raise this with their counterparts in the UK. And, with that, I think I will draw my comments short, perhaps to give someone else the time to contribute.
Welsh: Fe gadwaf fy nghyfraniad yn fyr, o ystyried ein bod yn brin o amser. Roeddwn am wneud achos dros brentisiaethau lefel uwch a'r ffaith bod datblygu gradd-brentisiaethau yng Nghymru ar lefel 6. Credaf fod yna brifysgolion sy'n barod i gynnig prentisiaethau gradd ar lefel Meistr. Credaf fod honno'n ffordd arwyddocaol ymlaen sy'n awgrymu, o'r dystiolaeth yn Lloegr yn sicr, y bydd prentisiaethau lefel gradd yn cael eu dilyn mewn pynciau STEM gan fenywod sydd am astudio'r pynciau hynny, yn ogystal ag ymhlith dysgwyr o ardaloedd lle mae lefelau cyfranogiad mewn addysg uwch yn isel yn draddodiadol. Felly, mae dilyniant i lefel Meistr yn bwysig iawn. Rwy'n falch fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi derbyn argymhellion 9 a 10 ynghylch yr angen am eglurder a sicrwydd o ran ariannu gradd-brentisiaethau. Ond credaf hefyd - . Rwy'n bryderus ynghylch gwrthod argymhelliad 12, sy'n dweud mai'r prifysgolion sy'n gyfrifol am gynllunio a darparu eu cyrsiau, ond hoffwn gael cyfle i graffu, yn y Siambr hon neu yn y pwyllgor, y modd y caiff gradd-brentisiaethau eu cyflwyno ledled Cymru. Os caiff ei adael i'r prifysgolion ar eu pen eu hunain, mae arnaf ofn y byddant yn gwneud gwaith da ond gallent fod yn brin o atebolrwydd democrataidd. Felly, rwy'n credu bod hynny'n eithaf pwysig. Hefyd, hoffwn fynd ar drywydd pwynt a wnaeth Siân Gwenllian. Siaradais â fy rhagflaenydd ddoe, Jeff Cuthbert, fy rhagflaenydd fel Aelod Cynulliad dros Gaerffili - hoffwn ddweud wrth y Siambr nad oes gennyf unrhyw gynlluniau i fynd yn gomisiynydd heddlu a throseddu, ond ef yw'r comisiynydd heddlu a throseddu ar gyfer fy rhanbarth i ar hyn o bryd - a nododd y pryder ynglŷn â'r £2.8 miliwn o ardoll brentisiaethau sy'n mynd i'r DU ac na all gwasanaeth yr heddlu elwa arno. Mae'n fater hynod o bwysig nad yw'n digwydd yn Lloegr, ac mae'n un dadleuol. Mae'n hurt fod y Trysorlys wedyn yn disgwyl i Lywodraeth Cymru ariannu hyfforddiant galwedigaethol yn yr heddlu ac felly, carwn annog y Gweinidog a'r Llywodraeth i godi hyn gyda'u cymheiriaid yn y DU. A chyda hynny, rwy'n credu y dof â fy sylwadau i ben, er mwyn rhoi amser i rywun arall gyfrannu o bosibl.
