English: Thank you, Huw, and I would associate myself with those comments. We were able to make an additional £7 million available to local authorities to ensure that free school meal children were supported over the Easter holidays, and we have made a further £33 million available to take us through either to when schools open or to the start of the new academic year. It is £19.50, which is above the amount that is available in the jurisdiction right next to us. You're right: local authorities are taking a number of approaches. In some local authorities, they have more than one approach, because they are trying to meet the needs of individual families, so we want to provide flexibility to local authorities to do what's best for the population that they are serving. For some, that is a supermarket voucher, but as I was reminded and as I am very familiar with where I live, that might not be applicable and, therefore, a BACS payment to families is much more helpful and useful. But it is a legitimate choice for local authorities to provide food parcels or a food delivery, and that does provide an important point of contact where they can check in with that child and with that family to see how things are going. What is very interesting, and what we have already learnt, is that over half the local authorities currently report that take-up of FSM is either equal to or is actually greater than they would usually do during school time, because, of course, during school time, you physically have to be in the school to obtain the food. The fact that we are moving to a different system means that, actually, as I said, half of local authorities have seen take-up either at the expected level or are actually providing more support to more children.
Welsh: Diolch, Huw, a hoffwn ategu'r sylwadau hynny. Fe wnaethom ni lwyddo i sicrhau bod £7 miliwn ychwanegol ar gael i awdurdodau lleol i sicrhau bod plant sy'n cael prydau ysgol am ddim yn cael cymorth dros wyliau'r Pasg, ac rydym wedi darparu £33 miliwn ychwanegol i'n cario naill ai i'r adeg pan fydd ysgolion yn agor neu ar ddechrau'r flwyddyn academaidd newydd. Mae'n £19.50, sy'n uwch na'r swm sydd ar gael yn yr awdurdodaeth y drws nesaf i ni. Rydych chi'n iawn: mae awdurdodau lleol yn defnyddio nifer o ddulliau. Mewn rhai awdurdodau lleol, mae ganddyn nhw fwy nag un dull, gan eu bod yn ceisio diwallu anghenion teuluoedd unigol, felly rydym ni eisiau rhoi hyblygrwydd i awdurdodau lleol wneud yr hyn sydd orau i'r boblogaeth y maen nhw'n ei gwasanaethu. I rai, taleb archfarchnad yw hynny, ond fel y cefais fy atgoffa ac fel yr wyf yn gyfarwydd iawn â lle'r wyf yn byw, efallai na fydd hynny'n berthnasol ac, felly, mae taliad BACS i deuluoedd yn llawer mwy defnyddiol. Ond mae'n ddewis cyfreithlon i awdurdodau lleol ddarparu parseli bwyd neu i ddosbarthu bwyd, ac mae hynny'n darparu pwynt cyswllt pwysig lle gallan nhw holi'r plentyn hwnnw a'r teulu hwnnw i weld sut mae pethau'n mynd. Yr hyn sy'n ddiddorol iawn, a'r hyn yr ydym wedi ei ddysgu eisoes, yw bod dros hanner yr awdurdodau lleol yn adrodd ar hyn o bryd bod y nifer sy'n manteisio ar brydau ysgol am ddim naill ai'n gyfartal neu'n fwy mewn gwirionedd nag y bydden nhw fel arfer yn ystod amser ysgol, oherwydd, wrth gwrs, yn ystod amser ysgol, rhaid i chi fod yn yr ysgol i gael y bwyd. Mae'r ffaith ein bod yn symud i system wahanol yn golygu, mewn gwirionedd, fel y dywedais, fod hanner yr awdurdodau lleol wedi gweld eu derbyn naill ai ar y lefel ddisgwyliedig neu eu bod mewn gwirionedd yn rhoi mwy o gymorth i fwy o blant.
