English: May I say that I appreciate what Steffan Lewis had to say about the context that we faced as we drew up this particular budget? It is an extremely difficult context. Of course, Steffan Lewis suggests that independence would be the solution to all of these issues. I don't think that we can agree on that on the Government side of the Chamber. In terms of what he said on free school meals, I don't quite understand his comments, if truth be told. We're going to provide greater funding. Very many pupils will qualify for free school meals in our schools as a result of this funding, and we are going to provide cohort protection, as Kirsty Williams has described it. If you start under the regulations that we currently have, then you will retain that system until you go to secondary school or until you conclude your time in school. I appreciate what Steffan Lewis had to say about LDT and the funds that we have been able to draw in in the first quarter of the current financial year, and of course I agree with what he said: this is money for Wales, not money that should go back to the Treasury, and the reason I say that is because we are drawing funding in, in my view, because of the work that the WRA is doing, focusing on the situation in Wales and succeeding in bringing in those funds in that way. We are aware of issues in further education, but they haven't concluded their discussions on staff in the next financial year. Just to say, in terms of what Steffan had to say, we will have to make changes to the law so that we have clarity across Wales, that care leavers will be withdrawn from liability for council tax, and I think the same is true if we do proceed with the proposals I made on private schools and hospitals, but we will need to consult with people on our proposals in those areas.
Welsh: A gaf i ddweud wrth Steffan Lewis fy mod i'n gwerthfawrogi beth ddywedodd ef am y cyd-destun rŷm ni'n ei wynebu pan oeddem ni'n creu'r gyllideb yma? Mae yn gyd-destun anodd dros ben. Wrth gwrs, mae Steffan Lewis yn awgrymu y bydd annibyniaeth yr ateb i'r pethau yma yng Nghymru. Nid wyf yn meddwl ein bod ni'n mynd i gytuno â hynny ar ochr y Llywodraeth. Ar beth ddywedodd ef am free school meals, nid wyf cweit yn deall, a dweud y gwir. Rŷm ni'n mynd i roi mwy o arian i mewn i'r gyllideb. Bydd nifer fawr o blant yn cael bwyd am ddim yn ein hysgolion ni drwy'r arian rŷm ni'n ei roi, ac rŷm ni'n mynd i roi beth rydw i wedi clywed Kirsty Williams yn ei alw'n cohort protection. Os ŷch chi'n dechrau o dan y rheoliadau sydd gyda ni yn awr, rŷch chi'n mynd i aros o dan y system yna nes eich bod chi'n mynd lan i'r ysgol uwchradd neu nes eich bod chi'n dod i ben ar eich amser yn ein hysgolion. Rydw i'n gwerthfawrogi beth ddywedodd Steffan Lewis hefyd am LDT a'r arian rŷm ni wedi llwyddo i dynnu mewn yn y chwarter gyntaf o'r flwyddyn ariannol bresennol. Ac, wrth gwrs, rydw i'n cytuno â beth ddywedodd ef: arian i Gymru yw hwnnw, nid arian i fynd yn ôl i'r Trysorlys. Y rheswm pam rydw i'n dweud hynny yw ein bod ni'n tynnu'r arian i mewn, rydw i'n meddwl, achos y gwaith y mae'r WRA yn ei wneud, gan ganolbwyntio ar y sefyllfa yng Nghymru a llwyddo i gael yr arian i mewn fel yna. Rŷm ni'n ymwybodol o addysg bellach, ond, wrth gwrs, nid ydyn nhw wedi dod i ben â'r trafodaethau ar sut maen nhw'n mynd i gyflogi staff yn y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf. Jest i ddweud, i ddechrau, ar beth ddywedodd Steffan, bydd yn rhaid inni newid y gyfraith i fod yn glir, ledled Cymru, fod care leavers wedi eu tynnu mas o'r dreth gyngor, ac mae'r un peth, rydw i'n meddwl, yn mynd i ddigwydd os ydym ni'n bwrw ymlaen â beth ddywedais i am ysgolion ac ysbytai preifat, ond rŷm ni'n mynd i fynd mas i siarad â phobl am beth rŷm ni'n ei awgrymu.
