English: Just to endorse the comments that the Member for Cardiff North raised - and many politicians from across the political divide have met with Tesco. What alarmed me last week was, obviously, the Cabinet Secretary confirming that the Government had had no notice of these redundancies, or potential redundancies, because that's the term we have to use because it's subject to consultation. In particular, there hasn't been a statement forthcoming from the Government to date, given that there was a conference call between the First Minister and the Cabinet Secretary, as the Cabinet Secretary indicated in questions, an hour after he informed the Chamber of events on Wednesday afternoon. I do think it is vitally important that we do get a comprehensive statement from the Government to understand the interaction between large companies when they do come around to these decisions. Tesco, let's not forget, is the largest private employer in Wales, with 19,000 employees across the length and breadth of Wales. For the Government to completely be blindsided by these proposals really does pose questions about the level of communication. But secondly, I would implore you as leader of the house that, when these announcements are made, a more timely response is made available to Members around the actions. And I support the actions that the Government have taken to date, but it would have been helpful if we could have had a more timely statement at the back end of last week that could have informed us of the outcomes of the conference call the First Minister and the Cabinet Secretary had undertaken and any assurances that you might have had from the company at such a senior level as to future investment in Wales and, importantly, what potential there might be for reversing this decision. So, I would ask you, leader of the house, to reflect on the flow of information from the Government to Members when such a critical announcement is made. Let's not forget, this was the biggest single job loss for the last 10 years that's been announced in Wales, if it is carried out after the consultation period.
Welsh: Dim ond i ategu'r sylwadau a gododd yr Aelod dros Ogledd Caerdydd - ac mae llawer o wleidyddion o bob plaid wedi cyfarfod â Tesco. Yr hyn a wnaeth fy nychryn i yr wythnos diwethaf oedd, yn amlwg, gadarnhad Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet na chafodd y Llywodraeth unrhyw rybudd o'r diswyddiadau hyn, neu'r diswyddiadau posibl, oherwydd dyna'r term y mae'n rhaid i ni ei ddefnyddio oherwydd ei fod yn destun ymgynghoriad. Yn benodol, ni fu datganiad gan y Llywodraeth hyd yn hyn, o ystyried bod yna alwad gynadledda rhwng y Prif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, fel y nododd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn ystod y cwestiynau, awr ar ôl iddo ddweud wrth y Siambr am ddigwyddiadau brynhawn dydd Mercher. Rwyf yn credu ei fod yn hanfodol bwysig ein bod yn cael datganiad cynhwysfawr gan y Llywodraeth i ddeall y rhyngweithio rhwng y cwmnïau mawr pan fyddan nhw'n cyrraedd y penderfyniadau hyn. Tesco, gadewch i ni beidio ag anghofio, yw'r cyflogwr preifat mwyaf yng Nghymru, gydag 19,000 o weithwyr ar hyd a lled y wlad. Mae natur annisgwyl y cynigion hyn yn codi cwestiynau ynghylch lefel y cyfathrebu. Ond yn ail, byddwn i'n erfyn arnoch chi fel arweinydd y tŷ, pan fo'r cyhoeddiadau hyn yn cael eu gwneud, bod ymateb mwy prydlon ar gael i'r Aelodau ynghylch y camau gweithredu. Ac rwy'n cefnogi'r camau y mae'r Llywodraeth wedi eu cymryd hyd yn hy. Ond byddai wedi bod yn ddefnyddiol pe gallem fod wedi cael datganiad mwy prydlon ddiwedd yr wythnos diwethaf a allai fod wedi rhoi gwybod i ni am ganlyniadau'r alwad gynhadledda a gafodd y Prif Weinidog ac Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ac unrhyw sicrwydd y gallech fod wedi'i gael gan y cwmni ar lefel mor uchel ynghylch buddsoddi yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol ac, yn bwysig, y posibilrwydd a allai fod o wrthdroi'r penderfyniad hwn. Felly, byddwn i'n gofyn i chi, arweinydd y tŷ, ystyried llif yr wybodaeth gan y Llywodraeth i'r Aelodau pan gaiff cyhoeddiad mor hollbwysig ei wneud. Gadewch i ni beidio ag anghofio, mai hon fydd y golled swyddi unigol fwyaf sydd wedi'i chyhoeddi yng Nghymru yn ystod y 10 mlynedd diwethaf, os caiff ei weithredu ar ôl y cyfnod ymgynghori.
