English: I thank Dai Rees for raising those issues. I know that you have also written directly to the Minister for Economy and Transport outlining your support for the Rhondda tunnel proposal and your concerns about the ownership, and so on. I can say that, as you're probably aware, Welsh Government has funded work on a high-level business case for the project as well as providing subsequent funding to undertake an ecological assessment, a bats survey, a tapping survey to assess the condition of the tunnel, and also work to improve access to the tunnel for the survey work to be undertaken. So, I think that we can demonstrate our clear support for the proposals, although those issues of ownership and how the project could be funded are yet unresolved. In terms of the learner travel Measure and your concerns about how that impacts on the ability of those learners over the age of 16 to get to their learning environment, and I think particularly those who are disabled are of concern to you, I will ask the transport Minister to write to you with an update on that, but also to take into consideration the case that you've made this afternoon. FootnoteLink On supply teacher agencies, I can say that officials in the education directorate have worked closely with the National Procurement Service to address and incorporate a number of additional requirements in the framework contract specification to support supply teachers' pay and working conditions and our fair work and social partnership principles. But, on the particular issue that you raised, the NPS has issued contract guidance to all of the appointed agencies, requiring them to report situations of non-compliance so that they're able to have as much information as possible regarding the framework's uptake and effectiveness, and if a framework agency is consistently attempting to subvert the framework rules and, I think, the spirit of those rules as well, the NPS will take action. And in terms of when the earliest opportunity would be to question the Minister on the issue of free swimming, I know that there is a question to the Deputy Minister tomorrow afternoon.
Welsh: Diolch i Dai Rees am godi'r materion hynny. Gwn eich bod hefyd wedi ysgrifennu'n uniongyrchol at Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth yn amlinellu eich cefnogaeth i gynnig twnnel y Rhondda a'ch pryderon am y berchnogaeth, ac yn y blaen. Gallaf ddweud bod Llywodraeth Cymru, fel y gwyddoch mae'n siŵr, wedi ariannu gwaith ar achos busnes lefel uchel ar gyfer y prosiect yn ogystal â darparu cyllid dilynol i gynnal asesiad ecolegol, arolwg ystlumod, arolwg tapio i asesu cyflwr y twnnel, a hefyd gwaith i wella mynediad i'r twnnel ar gyfer y gwaith arolygu sydd i'w wneud. Felly, credaf y gallwn ddangos ein cefnogaeth glir i'r cynigion, er bod y materion hynny sy'n ymwneud â pherchnogaeth a sut y gellid ariannu'r prosiect heb eu datrys eto. O ran y Mesur Teithio gan Ddysgwyr a'ch pryderon ynghylch y modd y mae hynny'n effeithio ar allu'r dysgwyr hynny dros 16 oed i gyrraedd eu hamgylchedd dysgu, a chredaf yn benodol fod y rhai sy'n anabl yn peri pryder i chi, gofynnaf i'r Gweinidog trafnidiaeth ysgrifennu atoch gyda'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am hynny, ond hefyd i ystyried yr achos yr ydych chi wedi'i wneud y prynhawn yma. FootnoteLink O ran asiantaethau athrawon cyflenwi, gallaf ddweud bod swyddogion yn y gyfarwyddiaeth addysg wedi gweithio'n agos gyda'r Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol i ymdrin â nifer o ofynion ychwanegol yn y fanyleb contract fframwaith i gefnogi'r broses o gyflenwi cyflog ac amodau gwaith athrawon a'n hegwyddorion gwaith teg a phartneriaeth gymdeithasol. Ond, o ran y mater penodol a godwyd gennych, mae'r Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol wedi cyhoeddi canllawiau contract i'r holl asiantaethau penodedig, sy'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol iddynt roi gwybod am sefyllfaoedd o ddiffyg cydymffurfio fel y gallant gael cymaint o wybodaeth â phosibl am y defnydd a wneir o'r fframwaith a'i effeithiolrwydd. Ac os yw asiantaeth fframwaith yn ceisio gwyrdroi rheolau'r fframwaith yn gyson ac, yn fy marn i, ysbryd y rheolau hynny hefyd, bydd y Gwasanaeth Caffael Cenedlaethol yn cymryd camau. Ac o ran pryd fyddai'r cyfle cyntaf i holi'r Gweinidog ar fater nofio am ddim, gwn fod yna gwestiwn i'r Dirprwy Weinidog brynhawn yfory.
