English: I thank the Member for that question. In 2017-18, the gap between taxes raised in Wales and public spending for the benefit of Welsh people stood at £13.7 billion. That gap is filled through our membership of the United Kingdom.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn yna. Yn 2017-18, £13.7 biliwn oedd y bwlch rhwng trethi a godwyd yng Nghymru a gwariant cyhoeddus er budd pobl Cymru. Mae'r bwlch hwnnw'n cael ei lenwi drwy ein haelodaeth o'r Deyrnas Unedig.
English: I thank you for that, First Minister. Given that the UK national debt is around £2 trillion, which, of course, is not an English-only debt - . So, with one in 20 people in the UK living in Wales, that would make Wales's share of that debt £100 billion, with a daily interest of £7 million. Does this not make the case for independence a little less desirable than that which was espoused so jubilantly in Swansea's Grand Hotel?
Welsh: Diolchaf i chi am hynna, Prif Weinidog. O gofio mai oddeutu £2 driliwn yw dyled genedlaethol y DU, nad yw, wrth gwrs, yn ddyled i Loegr yn unig - . Felly, gydag un o bob 20 o bobl yn y DU yn byw yng Nghymru, byddai hynny'n gwneud cyfran Cymru o'r ddyled honno yn £100 biliwn, gyda llog dyddiol o £7 miliwn. Onid yw hyn yn gwneud y ddadl dros annibyniaeth ychydig yn llai dymunol na'r hyn a arddelwyd mewn ffordd mor orfoleddus yng Ngwesty'r Grand yn Abertawe?
English: Well, Llywydd, what the Member does is to identify one in what would be a much larger and even more complicated pattern that would have to be addressed were Wales to be independent from the rest of the United Kingdom. The answer I gave originally shows the gap that is currently filled through UK resources here in Wales. There are fiscal transfers between the UK and Wales worth £4,000 per head of the Welsh population every year. That money would have to be found from somewhere. But the questions are not for me to answer, Llywydd. The questions are to be answered by those people who make this proposition, and, if they expect their proposition to be taken seriously, then they will be expected to provide serious answers to these questions.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, yr hyn y mae'r Aelod yn ei wneud yw nodi un peth yn yr hyn a fyddai'n batrwm llawer mwy a mwy cymhleth fyth y byddai'n rhaid mynd i'r afael ag ef pe byddai Cymru'n annibynnol ar weddill y Deyrnas Unedig. Mae'r ateb a roddais yn wreiddiol yn dangos y bwlch sy'n cael ei lenwi ar hyn o bryd drwy adnoddau'r DU yma yng Nghymru. Ceir trosglwyddiadau cyllidol rhwng y DU a Chymru gwerth £4,000 y pen o boblogaeth Cymru bob blwyddyn. Byddai'n rhaid dod o hyd i'r arian hwnnw o rywle. Ond nid fy lle i yw ateb y cwestiynau, Llywydd. Cyfrifoldeb y rhai sy'n gwneud y cynnig hwn yw ateb y cwestiynau, ac, os ydyn nhw'n disgwyl i'w cynnig gael ei gymryd o ddifrif, yna bydd disgwyl iddyn nhw gynnig atebion difrifol i'r cwestiynau hyn.
English: Well, it's an interesting question by Dave Rowlands. I could hear supporters of Welsh independence clamouring that they don't care about the financial impact of independence: they just want their country back. Well, where have we heard that - [ Interruption.] Where have we heard that before? [ Interruption.] First Minister, your own statistics - [ Interruption.]
Welsh: Wel, mae'n gwestiwn diddorol gan Dave Rowlands. Gallwn glywed cefnogwyr annibyniaeth Cymru yn gweiddi'n frwd nad ydyn nhw'n poeni am effaith ariannol annibyniaeth: maen nhw eisiau eu gwlad yn ôl. Wel, ble'r ydym ni wedi clywed hynny - [ Torri ar draws.] Ble'r ydym ni wedi clywed hynny o'r blaen? [ Torri ar draws.] Prif Weinidog, mae eich ystadegau chi eich hun - [ Torri ar draws.]
English: You're making up quotes now.
Welsh: Rydych chi'n creu dyfyniadau nawr.
English: Fake news.
Welsh: Newyddion ffug.
English: Fake news?
Welsh: Newyddion ffug?
English: You don't need to listen to people - [ Interruption.] - not on their feet. You carry on to ask your question.
Welsh: Nid oes angen i chi wrando ar bobl - [ Torri ar draws.] - nad ydyn nhw ar eu traed. Ewch ymlaen i ofyn eich cwestiwn.
English: I'm surprised they weren't more worked up listening to the original question, but there we are. First Minister, isn't the reality of the situation - ? You gave some very good statistics there, but isn't the reality of the situation that, day-by-day, Wales is steadily growing increasingly financially autonomous as a part of the United Kingdom, and, when it comes to tax devolution and borrowing powers, increasingly so? We've come a long way, and, in fact, I don't think, 20 years ago, people would have imagined that the Assembly would have the powers that we do today. But the important issue now - aside from grand issues of independence, the important issue is for us to get on with the job of using the tools in the toolbox, as your predecessor, Carwyn Jones, and, before him, Rhodri Morgan, used to say, and get on with making Wales a more prosperous place. So, would you agree with me that the important thing is to keep tax in Wales competitive, to keep income tax low, to make sure that borrowing powers are used wisely so that, at the end of the day, we have more money for public services in Wales so we can get on with the job of making Wales a more prosperous and, ultimately, a more independent part of the United Kingdom?
Welsh: Rwy'n synnu nad oedden nhw wedi eu cythruddo'n fwy wrth wrando ar y cwestiwn gwreiddiol, ond dyna ni. Prif Weinidog, onid gwirionedd y sefyllfa - ? Rhoesoch rai ystadegau da iawn yn y fan yna, ond onid gwirionedd y sefyllfa, o ddydd i ddydd, yw bod Cymru'n tyfu'n raddol i fod yn gynyddol annibynnol yn ariannol fel rhan o'r Deyrnas Unedig, a, phan ddaw'n fater o ddatganoli trethi a phwerau benthyg, yn gynyddol felly? Rydym ni wedi dod yn bell, ac, mewn gwirionedd, nid wyf i'n credu, 20 mlynedd yn ôl, y byddai pobl wedi dychmygu y byddai gan y Cynulliad y pwerau sydd gennym ni heddiw. Ond y mater pwysig nawr - ar wahân i faterion mawr annibyniaeth, y mater pwysig yw i ni fwrw ymlaen â'r gwaith o ddefnyddio'r offer sydd yn y blwch offer, fel yr oedd eich rhagflaenydd, Carwyn Jones, ac, o'i flaen ef, Rhodri Morgan, yn arfer ei ddweud, a bwrw ati i wneud Cymru yn fwy llewyrchus. Felly, a fyddech chi'n cytuno â mi mai'r peth pwysig yw cadw treth yng Nghymru yn gystadleuol, cadw treth incwm yn isel, sicrhau bod pwerau benthyca yn cael eu defnyddio'n ddoeth fel bod gennym ni, yn y pen draw, fwy o arian ar gyfer gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yng Nghymru fel y gallwn ni fwrw ymlaen â'r gwaith o wneud Cymru yn fwy llewyrchus ac, yn y pen draw, yn rhan fwy annibynnol o'r Deyrnas Unedig?
English: Well, Llywydd, my view has always been that the right way to use the fiscal devolution that we now have is within a UK fiscal framework, and that was a proposal that Plaid Cymru announced only this week. So, in that ecumenical sense of this afternoon, just as I agreed with some things in the paper provided by the Conservative party on homelessness, I agreed with what Plaid Cymru said about the need for a UK fiscal framework. But our prosperity is best secured, I believe, through continued membership of the United Kingdom and continued membership of the European Union. Both of those factors, I think, work to Wales's advantage and I think that our prosperity is best secured by continuing membership of both.
Welsh: Wel, Lywydd, fy marn i erioed yw mai'r ffordd gywir o ddefnyddio'r datganoli cyllidol sydd gennym ni erbyn hyn yw o fewn fframwaith cyllidol y DU, ac roedd hwnnw'n gynnig a gyhoeddwyd gan Blaid Cymru dim ond yr wythnos hon. Felly, yn yr ystyr eciwmenaidd honno y prynhawn yma, yn union fel y cytunais â rhai pethau yn y papur a ddarparwyd gan y Blaid Geidwadol ar ddigartrefedd, cytunais â'r hyn a ddywedodd Plaid Cymru am yr angen am fframwaith cyllidol ar gyfer y DU. Ond rwy'n credu mai'r ffordd orau o sicrhau ein ffyniant yw drwy barhau i fod yn aelod o'r Deyrnas Unedig a pharhau i fod yn aelod o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Credaf fod y ddau ffactor hyn yn gweithio er mantais Cymru a chredaf mai'r ffordd orau o sicrhau ein ffyniant yw sicrhau aelodaeth barhaus o'r ddau.
English: I stand in solidarity today with the imprisoned Catalan Democrats, and perhaps, from the comments we heard earlier, the Brexit Party would like to lock me up for what I'm about to say, but I'll risk it - [ Interruption.] I'll risk it anyway. I find it always rather depressing when a fellow Welshman like David Rowlands shows such lack of confidence and such a low opinion of Wales and its potential, presumably believing that other countries smaller than Wales are inherently better than us, which is clearly not the case. The truth of the matter, is it not, is that the people of Wales are waking up to the possibility, just perhaps, that we can't afford not to be independent anymore. You mentioned the fiscal gap: I'll draw your attention to the report by the Wales Governance Centre that said that this fiscal gap, which isn't correct as it is, is no reflection - is no reflection - on an independent Wales, but is instead a reflection of how the UK doesn't work for Wales now. The question is why Wales's economy is suffering as it is now. And would the First Minister agree with me that the way to build up confidence in what we can achieve as a nation is to have a constitutional convention, looking openly at the potential of independence for Wales, in co-operation and partnership with other countries, and looking at what we can achieve, rather than showing the staggering lack of confidence that the unionists in this Chamber show time and time again?
Welsh: Rwy'n sefyll mewn undod heddiw gyda Democratiaid Catalwnia a garcharwyd, ac efallai, o'r sylwadau a glywsom yn gynharach, yr hoffai Plaid Brexit fy rhoi dan glo am yr hyn yr wyf i ar fin ei ddweud, ond fe'i mentraf - [ Torri ar draws.] Fe'i mentraf beth bynnag. Rwyf i bob amser yn ei chael hi braidd yn ddigalon pan fydd cyd-Gymro fel David Rowlands yn dangos y fath ddiffyg hyder a barn mor isel am Gymru a'i photensial, gan gredu, mae'n debyg, bod gwledydd eraill llai na Chymru yn gynhenid well na ni, sy'n amlwg ddim yn wir. Y gwir amdani, onid yw, yw bod pobl Cymru yn effro i'r posibilrwydd, dim ond efallai, na allwn ni fforddio peidio â bod yn annibynnol mwyach. Crybwyllwyd y bwlch cyllidol gennych: tynnaf eich sylw at yr adroddiad gan Ganolfan Llywodraethiant Cymru a ddywedodd nad yw'r bwlch cyllidol hwn, nad yw'n gywir fel y mae, yn adlewyrchiad o gwbl - yn adlewyrchiad o gwbl - ar Gymru annibynnol, ond yn hytrach yn adlewyrchiad o sut nad yw'r DU yn gweithio i Gymru ar hyn o bryd. Y cwestiwn yw pam mae economi Cymru yn dioddef fel y mae ar hyn o bryd. Ac a fyddai'r Prif Weinidog yn cytuno â mi mai'r ffordd o fagu hyder yn yr hyn y gallwn ni ei gyflawni fel cenedl yw cael confensiwn cyfansoddiadol, gan edrych yn agored ar botensial annibyniaeth i Gymru, mewn cydweithrediad a phartneriaeth â gwledydd eraill, ac edrych ar yr hyn y gallwn ni ei gyflawni, yn hytrach na dangos y diffyg hyder syfrdanol y mae'r unoliaethwyr yn y Siambr hon yn ei ddangos dro ar ôl tro?
English: Llywydd, the Office for National Statistics will publish the latest national population projections on Monday of next week, 21 October. Previous projections suggested a modest increase in the overall Welsh population but faster growth amongst older people, with impacts on a range of public services, including health, social care and housing.
Welsh: Llywydd, bydd y Swyddfa Ystadegau Gwladol yn cyhoeddi'r amcanestyniadau poblogaeth cenedlaethol diweddaraf ddydd Llun yr wythnos nesaf, 21 Hydref. Roedd amcanestyniadau blaenorol yn awgrymu cynnydd cymedrol i boblogaeth Cymru yn gyffredinol ond twf cyflymach ymhlith pobl hŷn, gydag effeithiau ar amrywiaeth o wasanaethau cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys iechyd, gofal cymdeithasol a thai.
English: Well, the First Minister will know that any projections to be published next week could easily be falsified if we had the misfortune to elect a Labour Government in the near future, because, at the Labour Party conference, the Labour Party voted, in effect, to abolish all effective control of immigration. In particular, they set themselves against any future form of immigration control based on quotas, caps, targets or incomes, and promised to get rid of the current rules that restrict access to accommodation and the national health service for many immigrants - also to get rid of the 'no recourse to public funds' policy that prevents some immigrants from claiming benefits. He will remember that when the Blair Government decided to allow unrestricted immigration from eastern Europe, after countries like Poland and Hungary were allowed to join the EU, Len McCluskey, the leader of Unite, said in 2016 that the effect of that was that it was a 'gigantic experiment at the expense of ordinary workers' and led to 'sustained pressure on living standards' and a systematic attempt to hold down wages and cut the costs of social protection for working people. So, is the First Minister saying that he is now in favour of continuing that massive experiment, which Len McCluskey says is against the interests of working people? Isn't the truth of the matter that the Labour Party, in the frantic pursuit to have migrant votes, has actually abandoned the working classes of Britain - in particular, the white working class?
Welsh: Wel, bydd y Prif Weinidog yn gwybod y gellid ffugio unrhyw amcanestyniadau a gyhoeddir yr wythnos nesaf yn hawdd pe byddem ni'n ddigon anffodus i ethol Llywodraeth Lafur yn y dyfodol agos, oherwydd, yng nghynhadledd y Blaid Lafur, pleidleisiodd y Blaid Lafur, i bob pwrpas, i ddiddymu pob rheolaeth effeithiol o fewnfudo. Yn arbennig, fe wnaethon nhw osod eu hunain yn erbyn unrhyw ffurf o reolaeth fewnfudo yn y dyfodol yn seiliedig ar gwotâu, capiau, targedau neu incymau, ac addawsant i gael gwared ar y rheolau presennol sy'n cyfyngu ar fynediad at lety a'r gwasanaeth iechyd gwladol i lawer o fewnfudwyr - a hefyd cael gwared ar y polisi 'dim hawl i arian cyhoeddus' sy'n atal rhai mewnfudwyr rhag hawlio budd-daliadau. Bydd yn cofio pan benderfynodd Llywodraeth Blair ganiatáu mewnfudo anghyfyngedig o ddwyrain Ewrop, ar ôl caniatáu i wledydd fel Gwlad Pwyl a Hwngari ymuno â'r UE, dywedodd Len McCluskey, arweinydd Unite, yn 2016 mai effaith hynny oedd ei fod yn arbrawf enfawr ar draul gweithwyr cyffredin ac wedi arwain at bwysau parhaus ar safonau byw ac ymgais systematig i gadw cyflogau i lawr a thorri costau diogelwch cymdeithasol i bobl sy'n gweithio. Felly, a yw'r Prif Weinidog yn dweud ei fod bellach o blaid parhau â'r arbrawf enfawr hwnnw, y mae Len McCluskey yn dweud ei fod yn erbyn buddiannau pobl sy'n gweithio? Onid y gwir yw bod y Blaid Lafur, yn yr ymgais wyllt i ennill pleidleisiau ymfudwyr, wedi cefnu ar ddosbarthiadau gweithiol Prydain - yn enwedig, y dosbarth gweithiol gwyn?
English: Well, I think the final remark that the Member made is deeply, deeply offensive, and he ought to think about that. If I was - . If I thought there was any chance, I would ask him to withdraw it. It really, really has no part to play on the floor of this Assembly. His - . I'll agree with the very first thing he said, and there's nothing else that he said that I could agree with. Of course population projections are not forecasts; they don't attempt to predict the future, they simply look to see what the future could be like on previous trends. I simply do not share the Member's, to my mind, deeply prejudiced set of views about people who we have been lucky enough to attract from other parts of the world to come and make their futures part of our future here. Our public services depend on them, our communities are richer for them being here, and I look forward to a future in which Wales goes on welcoming people from elsewhere and makes them know that they are valued members of our nation and the communities that make it up.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n credu bod y sylw olaf a wnaeth yr Aelod yn hynod o sarhaus, ac y dylai feddwl am hynny. Pe byddwn i - . Pe byddwn i'n credu bod unrhyw siawns, byddwn yn gofyn iddo ei dynnu yn ôl. Yn wirioneddol nid oes ganddo unrhyw ran i'w chwarae ar lawr y Cynulliad hwn. Mae ei - . Cytunaf â'r peth cyntaf un a ddywedodd, ac nid oes unrhyw beth arall a ddywedodd y gallwn i gytuno ag ef. Wrth gwrs, nid rhagolygon yw amcanestyniadau poblogaeth; dydyn nhw ddim yn ceisio darogan y dyfodol, y cwbl maen nhw'n ei wneud yw edrych i weld sut y gallai'r dyfodol fod ar sail tueddiadau blaenorol. Yn syml, nid wyf i'n rhannu cyfres o safbwyntiau, hynod ragfarnllyd yn fy marn i, yr Aelod ar bobl yr ydym ni wedi bod yn ddigon ffodus i'w denu o rannau eraill o'r byd i ddod i wneud eu dyfodol nhw yn rhan o'n dyfodol ni. Mae ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn dibynnu arnyn nhw, mae ein cymunedau yn gyfoethocach oherwydd eu bod nhw yma, ac edrychaf ymlaen at ddyfodol lle mae Cymru'n parhau i groesawu pobl o fannau eraill ac yn gadael iddyn nhw wybod eu bod yn aelodau gwerthfawr o'n gwlad a'r cymunedau sy'n ei ffurfio.
English: Llywydd, the National Infrastructure Commission for Wales will publish its first annual report on 27 November, as previously indicated.
Welsh: Llywydd, bydd Comisiwn Seilwaith Cenedlaethol Cymru yn cyhoeddi ei adroddiad blynyddol cyntaf ar 27 Tachwedd, fel y nodwyd yn flaenorol.
English: Thank you for your answer, First Minister. Two years ago, we were told by the Welsh Government then that the objectives of the commission would be to analyse, advise and make recommendations on Wales's longer term strategic economic and environment infrastructure needs over a three or five to 30-year period. I am pleased that some commissioners have now been appointed, but it does seem that little else has been produced or achieved. A scoping paper, we're told, will be available later this year. That's almost two years after the establishment of the commission. And a state of the nation paper won't be available before 2022. It seems to me that, certainly until recently, all we've had is one member of staff working out of a Welsh Government office. Do you believe that the commission has the correct resources to carry out its work, and when will we see some tangible evidence of progress?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Prif Weinidog. Ddwy flynedd yn ôl, dywedodd Llywodraeth Cymru wrthym ni mai amcanion y Comisiwn fyddai dadansoddi, cynghori a gwneud argymhellion ynghylch anghenion seilwaith strategol economaidd ac amgylcheddol tymor hwy Cymru dros gyfnod o dair neu bum mlynedd i 30 mlynedd. Rwy'n falch bod rhai comisiynwyr wedi eu penodi erbyn hyn, ond mae'n ymddangos nad oes fawr ddim arall wedi cael ei gynhyrchu na'i gyflawni. Dywedir wrthym y bydd papur cwmpasu ar gael yn ddiweddarach eleni. Mae hynny bron i ddwy flynedd ar ôl sefydlu'r comisiwn. Ac ni fydd papur cyflwr y genedl ar gael cyn 2022. Mae'n ymddangos i mi mai'r unig beth yr ydym ni wedi ei gael, yn sicr, tan yn ddiweddar, yw un aelod o staff sy'n gweithio allan o swyddfa Llywodraeth Cymru. A ydych chi'n credu bod gan y comisiwn yr adnoddau priodol i wneud ei waith, a phryd byddwn ni'n gweld tystiolaeth wirioneddol o gynnydd?
English: Well, Llywydd, the resources available - the staffing resources available - to the commission have increased in recent times. The letter that the Minister, Julie James, sent to Russell George on 16 September sets out the increased research capacity that the commission will need as its work develops. I thought that the report that the committee provided was a useful report. I thought the way in which Russell George set out its conclusions in his letter to Julie James on 14 August was a constructive way of looking to improve the work of the commission in the future, and I hope that the Member will agree that the Minister's reply on 16 September was in the same spirit. The first annual report of the national infrastructure commission was always scheduled for November of this year - there's no surprise in that. We have always followed the committee's advice in saying that reports would be published every three years after that, so 2022 ought not to come as a surprise to anybody either. We will also review the operation of the commission before the elections in 2021. But all of that is a matter of public record, Llywydd - all of that has always been the way in which the commission has been described, confirmed in the Minister's letter of September, in which she responded positively to other aspects of the committee's work, particularly in looking at ways in which the remit of the commission can be expanded to take in aspects of housing within its remit.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, mae'r adnoddau sydd ar gael - yr adnoddau staffio sydd ar gael - i'r comisiwn wedi cynyddu yn y cyfnod diweddar. Mae'r llythyr a anfonodd y Gweinidog, Julie James, at Russell George ar 16 Medi yn nodi'r capasiti ymchwil cynyddol y bydd y comisiwn ei angen wrth i'w waith ddatblygu. Roeddwn i'n meddwl bod yr adroddiad a ddarparodd y pwyllgor yn adroddiad defnyddiol. Roeddwn i'n meddwl bod y modd y cyflwynodd Russell George ei gasgliadau yn ei lythyr at Julie James ar 14 Awst yn ffordd adeiladol o geisio gwella gwaith y comisiwn yn y dyfodol, a gobeithiaf y bydd yr Aelod yn cytuno bod ateb y Gweinidog ar 16 Medi yn yr un ysbryd. Trefnwyd adroddiad blynyddol cyntaf y comisiwn seilwaith cenedlaethol ar gyfer mis Tachwedd eleni o'r cychwyn - nid oes unrhyw syndod yn hynny. Rydym ni wedi dilyn cyngor y pwyllgor bob amser trwy ddweud y byddai adroddiadau'n cael eu cyhoeddi bob tair blynedd ar ôl hynny, felly ni ddylai 2022 fod yn syndod i neb ychwaith. Byddwn hefyd yn adolygu gweithrediad y comisiwn cyn yr etholiadau yn 2021. Ond mae hynny i gyd yn fater o gofnod cyhoeddus, Llywydd - dyna'r ffordd y mae'r comisiwn wedi ei ddisgrifio erioed, a gadarnhawyd yn llythyr y Gweinidog ym mis Medi, pan ymatebodd yn gadarnhaol i agweddau eraill ar waith y pwyllgor, yn enwedig o ran edrych ar ffyrdd y gellir ehangu cylch gwaith y comisiwn i gynnwys agweddau ar dai o fewn ei gylch gwaith.
English: I thank the Member for that. Amongst the benefits accrued to the Rhondda through the work of the Valleys taskforce are the Valleys to Work bus pilot, helping people in the Rhondda to get into work, and access to the £10 million to bring empty homes back into use across the taskforce area.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am hynna. Ymhlith y manteision a gronnwyd i'r Rhondda trwy waith tasglu'r Cymoedd y mae'r cynllun arbrofol O'r Cymoedd i'r Gwaith, sy'n helpu pobl yn y Rhondda i gael gwaith, a mynediad at y £10 miliwn i ailddechrau defnyddio cartrefi gwag ar draws ardal y tasglu.
