English: So it was an issue of time, if truth be told. Would you have preferred it, if time had allowed, if the teacher assessments could have been used? Would that have been a better process than the mathematical model, which had to be adopted because of a shortage of time, as you said?
Welsh: Felly mater o amser oedd o, mewn gwirionedd. A fyddai wedi bod yn well gennych chi, petai yna amser yn cael ei ganiatáu, petai'r asesiadau athrawon wedi gallu eu defnyddio? Fyddai hynny wedi bod yn well proses na'r model mathemategol oedd, oherwydd eich bod chi'n dweud prinder amser, yn gorfod cael ei gyflwyno?
English: Thank you very much. With the old system, it was apparent that there would need to be a robust appeals system in place, although I suppose one could have used the teacher assessments and the input of bodies such as Estyn and the consortia, but that option was rejected. When it became apparent that a robust appeals system was needed, why didn't you move to change the guidance in order to strengthen that system and to make it free of charge?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Efo'r hen system, roedd hi'n amlwg y byddai angen system o apeliadau gadarn iawn, er debyg gellid bod wedi defnyddio asesiadau athrawon a mewnbwn gan gyrff fel Estyn a'r consortia, ond fe wrthodwyd yr opsiwn yna. Pan ddaeth hi'n amlwg bod angen system apeliadau gref, pam na wnaethoch chi ddim symud i newid y canllawiau i gryfhau'r system ac i'w wneud o am ddim?
English: I do understand that you did broaden the appeals process, but it was going to be relatively restrictive and narrow, and individuals wouldn't have had the freedom to be making appeals, and it appears to me that throughout all of this the credibility of the grades have been given priority, rather than the well-being of pupils. We need a new appeals process now, of course. Can you tell us what kind of appeals process this will be in light of the last-minute changes that we've seen, and when will you publish guidance?
Welsh: Dwi'n i'n deall eich bod chi wedi lledaenu'r broses apêl, ond mi oedd o'n mynd i fod yn eithaf cyfyng a doedd unigolion ddim yn mynd i fod efo'r rhyddid i roi apêl i mewn, ac mae'n ymddangos i mi, drwy hyn i gyd, mai hygrededd y graddau sydd wedi cael y flaenoriaeth yn hytrach na'r hyn oedd er lles disgyblion. Mae angen proses apeliadau newydd rŵan, wrth gwrs. Fedrwch chi ddweud wrthym ni sut broses apêl fydd hon rŵan, yn sgil y newidiadau munud olaf, a phryd fyddwch chi'n cyhoeddi canllawiau?
English: Will there -
Welsh: Oes raid -
English: Thank you, Chair, and good afternoon, Minister. Could you have acted more swiftly? Had you acted more swiftly, then perhaps some of the young people who have not been able to access places at university could have accessed those places on the basis of their teacher assessment grades. In looking back, should you have taken some of these decisions more swiftly?
Welsh: Diolch, Gadeirydd, a phrynhawn da, Weinidog. Fyddech chi wedi gallu gweithredu yn gynt? Petaech chi wedi gweithredu yn gynt, efallai y byddai rhai o'r bobl ifanc sydd wedi methu, erbyn hyn, â chael lle mewn prifysgol wedi gallu cael lle ar sail eu graddau asesiadau athrawon. Ddylech chi, o edrych yn ôl, fod wedi cymryd rhai o'r penderfyniadau yma cyn i chi wneud hynny?
English: We heard in your statement about decisions that have been taken elsewhere, and that that had driven your decision. So, does that mean that you don't truly believe that the teacher assessments should have been used?
Welsh: Mi glywsom ni yn eich datganiad chi am benderfyniadau wedi cael eu gwneud mewn llefydd eraill, a bod hynny wedi gyrru y penderfyniad. Felly, a ydy hynny'n golygu nad ydych chi, yn wirioneddol, yn credu y dylai'r asesiadau athrawon gael eu defnyddio?
English: It's clear that there has been some change in the way that you view these issues, but I do welcome the fact that you now do realise that Wales can do things in its own way. Do you accept that you are ultimately accountable for the Welsh qualifications regime, for better or for worse, but that you have only given two ministerial directives to the body between March and August - until this most recent one? So, three in total, but two between March and August, although you are responsible for the body.
Welsh: Mae'n amlwg bod yna ychydig bach o newid wedi bod yn y ffordd rydych chi'n edrych ar bethau, ond dwi'n croesawu'r faith eich bod chi rŵan yn gweld bod Cymru yn gallu gwneud pethau yn ei ffordd ei hun. Ydych chi'n derbyn mai chi, yn y pen draw, sy'n atebol am system gymwysterau Cymru, er gwell neu er gwaeth, ond mai dim ond dau gyfarwyddyd gweinidogol y gwnaethoch chi eu rhoi i'r corff rhwng mis Mawrth a mis Awst - tan yr un diweddar iawn, iawn yma? So, tri i gyd, ond dim ond dau gyfarwyddyd rhwng Mawrth ac Awst, er mai chi sy'n gyfrifol am y corff.
English: You mentioned the timeline, and I do think it's important that we as a committee do receive that information on paper, please. That would assist us, I think, in moving forward. And finally from me, Chair, in this section: when exactly did you become aware that so many people would be downgraded under the system that was in place? On 7 July, you were asked in a committee session whether Welsh grades would be gravely affected by using the assessment system and you said that there would be no problem. So, when did you become aware that so many people would be affected and when did it become apparent to you that you needed to carry out this u-turn?
Welsh: Roeddech chi'n sôn fanna am y timeline, ac rydw i'n meddwl ei bod hi'n bwysig i ni fel pwyllgor gael yr wybodaeth yna ar bapur, os gwelwch yn dda. Mi fyddai hwnna'n helpu ni, rydw i'n meddwl, yn symud ymlaen. Yn olaf gen i, Gadeirydd, yn y rhan yma: pryd ddaethoch chi - pryd yn union ddaethoch chi'n ymwybodol fod yna gymaint o bobl yn mynd i gael eu diraddio efo'r system oedd mewn grym? Ar 7 Gorffennaf, fe ofynnwyd i chi mewn sesiwn o'r pwyllgor a fyddai graddau Cymru'n cael eu heffeithio'n ddirfawr drwy ddefnyddio'r system asesiadau athrawon ac mi ddywedoch chi 'na', y byddai yna ddim problem. Pryd ddaeth hynny - ? Pryd oeddech chi'n gwybod bod yna gymaint o bobl yn mynd i gael eu heffeithio a phryd ddaeth hi'n amlwg i chi bod angen gwneud y tro pedol?
English: Thank you. I don't think we're quite clear: your decision not to use teacher assessment last Thursday - was that the right decision or the wrong decision?
Welsh: Diolch. Dwi ddim yn meddwl ein bod ni yn dal wedi cael yn hollol glir: oedd eich penderfyniad chi i beidio â rhoi'r asesiadau athrawon dydd Iau diwethaf - oedd hwnna'n benderfyniad cywir ynteu anghywir?
English: So, you're still saying that the system itself was the right one, so why would you need an appeals system that is constantly changing, with the criteria for that constantly changing, too? How can you continue to say that the system is the right one?
Welsh: Felly, rydych chi'n dal i ddweud bod y system ei hun yn iawn, felly pam fod angen apêl sydd yn newid drwy'r amser, a'r meini prawf ar gyfer hynny yn newid drwy'r amser? Sut fedrwch chi barhau i ddweud bod y drefn yn un iawn?
English: This is -

English: Good morning and welcome to this meeting of the Legislation, Justice and Constitution Committee. Mick Antoniw has put forward his apologies for the meeting, and as you'll remember, the committee did decide on 3 August of this month that I would be acting as the temporary Chair for this morning's meeting.
Welsh: Helo, bore da a chroeso mawr i'r cyfarfod hwn o'r Pwyllgor Deddfwriaeth, Cyfiawnder a Chyfansoddiad. Mae Mick Antoniw wedi rhoi ei ymddiheuriadau, ac os ŷch chi'n cofio, fe wnaeth y pwyllgor benderfynu ar y trydydd o'r mis hwn taw finnau byddai'r Cadeirydd dros dro ar gyfer y cyfarfod y bore yma.
English: Good afternoon and welcome to the recall of the Senedd under Standing Order 34.9. Before we begin, I do want to set out a few points. A Plenary meeting held by video-conference in accordance with Standing Orders of the Welsh Parliament constitutes Senedd proceedings for the purposes of the Government of Wales Act 2006. Some of the provisions of Standing Order 34 will apply to today's Plenary meeting, and these are noted on your agenda. I would remind Members that Standing Orders relating to order in Plenary meetings apply to this meeting.
Welsh: Prynhawn da, bawb, a chroeso i adalw'r Senedd o dan Reol Sefydlog 34.9. Cyn inni ddechrau, dwi eisiau nodi ychydig o bwyntiau. Mae Cyfarfod Llawn a gynhelir drwy gynhadledd fideo yn unol â Rheolau Sefydlog Senedd Cymru yn gyfystyr â thrafodion y Senedd at ddibenion Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006. Bydd rhai o ddarpariaethau Rheol Sefydlog 34 yn gymwys ar gyfer y Cyfarfod Llawn heddiw, ac mae'r rhain wedi eu nodi ar eich agenda chi. A dwi eisiau atgoffa'r Aelodau fod Rheolau Sefydlog sy'n ymwneud â threfn yn y Cyfarfod Llawn yn gymwys i'r cyfarfod yma.
English: The first item on our agenda this afternoon is a statement on coronavirus by the First Minister, and I call on the First Minister.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf, felly, ar ein hagenda ni y prynhawn yma yw'r datganiad ar y coronafeirws gan y Prif Weinidog, felly dwi'n galw ar y Prif Weinidog.
English: Thank you, Llywydd. In today's statement I will provide Members with an update on the coronavirus regulations in Wales and on other important developments over the past three weeks. The latest review of restrictions was undertaken last week, and I announced the decisions taken in light of that review on Friday. In terms of the spread of coronavirus, I'm pleased to say that the virus continues to be effectively suppressed in Wales. But, despite these encouraging developments, we must remain cautious. Since the Senedd last met on 5 August, important announcements have been made in relation to examination results, support for local government and the agricultural sector, as well as the establishment of the voluntary sector emergency fund.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolch yn fawr. Yn fy natganiad heddiw byddaf yn diweddaru Aelodau am y rheoliadau coronafeirws yng Nghymru ac am ddatblygiadau eraill pwysig a welwyd dros y dair wythnos diwethaf. Cynhaliwyd yr adolygiad diweddaraf o'r cyfyngiadau yr wythnos diwethaf, ac fe gyhoeddais ein penderfyniadau yn sgil yr arolwg hwnnw ddydd Gwener. O ran lledaeniad y coronafeirws, rwy'n falch o allu dweud bod y feirws yn parhau i gael ei atal yn effeithiol yng Nghymru. Ond er y datblygiadau calonogol hyn, rhaid inni barhau i fod yn ofalus. Ers i'r Senedd gyfarfod ddiwethaf ar 5 Awst, gwnaed cyhoeddiadau pwysig yn ymwneud â chanlyniadau arholiadau, cefnogaeth ar gyfer llywodraeth leol a'r sector amaeth, a sefydlu cronfa argyfwng y gwasanaethau gwirfoddol.
English: Am I the only person not hearing the First Minister? No, I'm not. We seem to have lost the link to the First Minister. I can see that the health Minister is going in search of the First Minister. We'll just pause for a few seconds. The First Minister is now on the health Minister's computer. Can he be unmuted? Yes. First Minister, can you hear us?
Welsh: Ai fi yw'r unig un nad yw'n clywed y Prif Weinidog? Na, nid fi yw'r unig un. Ymddengys ein bod wedi colli'r cysylltiad â'r Prif Weinidog. Gallaf weld bod y Gweinidog iechyd yn mynd i chwilio am y Prif Weinidog. Fe wnawn ni oedi am ychydig eiliadau. Mae'r Prif Weinidog bellach ar gyfrifiadur y Gweinidog iechyd. A ellir ei ddad-dawelu? Gellir. Prif Weinidog, a allwch chi ein clywed ni?
English: Thank you, First Minister. Plaid Cymru leader, Adam Price.
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Arweinydd Plaid Cymru, Adam Price.
English: Diolch. First Minister, testing has been a key feature of the response to the coronavirus pandemic worldwide. Two weeks ago, researchers at Yale University secured emergency Food and Drug Administration approval for their saliva-based COVID-19 test. Now, there are two main advantages to a saliva test: it's less invasive, yet comparable in accuracy to the current test; and it costs as little as £1 per sample. So that means that, now, for the first time, we have a simple, quick, cheap means of conducting regular mass testing of the population. Even more exciting is a paper test developed by Harvard University that can produce results in minutes and can be done at home, without having to send it off to a laboratory. These are tests that are particularly designed to detect people who are infectious. As the epidemiologist Michael Mina has quoted quite colourfully, the fire department wants to detect somebody that's walking the streets with a flamethrower, not somebody lighting a match in their house. Routine mass testing of everyone in Wales once a week could be absolutely transformative, yet very affordable, particularly when we compare it to the continuing social and economic costs of lockdown restrictions. So, will the First Minister commit to exploring this exciting new possibility?
Welsh: Diolch. Prif Weinidog, mae profi wedi bod yn nodwedd allweddol o'r ymateb i'r pandemig coronafeirws yn fyd-eang. Pythefnos yn ôl, sicrhaodd ymchwilwyr ym Mhrifysgol Iâl gymeradwyaeth frys Y Weinyddiaeth Bwyd a Chyffuriau ar gyfer eu prawf COVID-19 sy'n seiliedig ar boer. Nawr, mae dwy brif fantais i brawf poer: mae'n llai mewnwthiol, ac eto'n debyg o ran cywirdeb i'r prawf presennol; ac mae'n costio cyn lleied â £1 y sampl. Felly mae hynny'n golygu, nawr, am y tro cyntaf, fod gennym ni ffordd syml, gyflym a rhad o gynnal profion torfol rheolaidd ar y boblogaeth. Hyd yn oed yn fwy cyffrous yw'r prawf papur a ddatblygwyd gan Brifysgol Harvard sy'n gallu rhoi canlyniadau mewn munudau ac y gellir ei wneud gartref heb orfod ei anfon i labordy. Profion yw'r rhain sydd wedi'u cynllunio'n arbennig i ganfod pobl sy'n heintus. Fel y mae'r epidemiolegydd Michael Mina wedi ei ddyfynnu'n eithaf lliwgar, mae'r adran dân eisiau canfod rhywun yn cerdded y strydoedd gyda gwn fflam, nid rhywun sy'n tanio matsien yn ei dŷ. Gallai profion torfol arferol ar bawb yng Nghymru unwaith yr wythnos fod yn gwbl drawsnewidiol, ond eto'n fforddiadwy iawn, yn enwedig pan fyddwn yn ei gymharu â chostau cymdeithasol ac economaidd parhaus cyfyngiadau symud. Felly, a wnaiff y Prif Weinidog ymrwymo i edrych i mewn i'r posibilrwydd newydd cyffrous hwn?
English: Well, Llywydd, I can assure Mr Price and other Members that the Welsh Government continues to explore all these possibilities. We are involved in experiments here in Wales of a number of antigen tests that may be able to provide results far more quickly than the current range of tests, but to do so in a way that is, as Adam Price said, Llywydd, comparable in accuracy to the testing regime we currently have. Adam Price is right, Llywydd, to point to the fact that there are many different possibilities emerging in this space. It's an important judgment for Government as to which one to endorse and not to spend a lot of money on a possibility that is rapidly overtaken by something that is emerging elsewhere, which is why I agree with what Mr Price said about making sure that we continue to scan all these different possibilities. Whichever one becomes, in the end, the most promising, it will be very important that it has proper regulatory approval here in the United Kingdom, so that citizens can be confident that the test they are being asked to use has been authentically scrutinised, that its safety is secure, that the results it provides can be relied upon and, of course, from a Welsh economy perspective, when we're in that position and able to test people quickly, accurately and safely, then it will undoubtedly add to the speed at which the economy can be reopened.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, gallaf sicrhau Mr Price a'r Aelodau eraill bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i edrych i mewn i'r holl bosibiliadau hyn. Rydym yn cymryd rhan mewn arbrofion yma yng Nghymru sy'n ymwneud â nifer o brofion antigen a allai ddarparu canlyniadau'n gyflymach o lawer na'r ystod bresennol o brofion, ond gwneud hynny mewn ffordd sydd, fel y dywedodd Adam Price, Llywydd, yn debyg o ran cywirdeb i'r drefn brofi sydd gennym ni ar hyn o bryd. Mae Adam Price yn iawn, Llywydd, i dynnu sylw at y ffaith fod llawer o wahanol bosibiliadau yn dod i'r amlwg yn y maes hwn. Mae'n ddyfarniad pwysig i'r Llywodraeth ei wneud wrth benderfynu pa un i'w gymeradwyo, a pheidio â gwario llawer o arian ar bosibilrwydd sy'n cael ei oddiweddyd yn gyflym gan rywbeth sy'n dod i'r amlwg yn rhywle arall, a dyna pam yr wyf i'n cytuno â'r hyn a ddywedodd Mr Price am sicrhau ein bod yn parhau i sganio'r holl wahanol bosibiliadau hyn. Pa un bynnag a fydd, yn y pen draw, y mwyaf addawol, bydd yn bwysig iawn ei fod yn cael cymeradwyaeth reoleiddiol briodol yma yn y Deyrnas Unedig, fel y gall dinasyddion fod yn ffyddiog bod y prawf y gofynnir iddyn nhw ei ddefnyddio yn destun craffu dilys, bod ei ddiogelwch yn gadarn, y gellir dibynnu ar y canlyniadau y mae'n eu darparu ac, wrth gwrs, o safbwynt economi Cymru, pan fyddwn yn y sefyllfa honno ac yn gallu profi pobl yn gyflym, yn gywir ac yn ddiogel, yna bydd yn sicr o gael effaith gadarnhaol o ran pa mor gyflym y gellir ailagor yr economi.
English: First Minister, lockdown has highlighted the importance of having a safe and secure home. Shelter Cymru estimates that 42 per cent of private tenants in Wales are vulnerable to no-fault evictions, which you promised in your conference address last year that you would ban. In addition, of course, in the wake of the pandemic, 40 per cent of renters in Wales are estimated to be falling behind on their rent. Of course, leaving people homeless at any time would be unforgivable, but doing so in the middle of a global pandemic would be particularly pernicious. In Scotland, there will be a six-month extension to the ban on evicting renters amid the COVID-19 pandemic, yet in Wales, at the moment, there's no similar commitment, despite Shelter calling for an extension. Can I urge the Welsh Government to do two things: firstly, extend the ban on evictions, whatever the tenants' circumstances are, until the pandemic is over, and, secondly, emulate the Scottish approach and legislate to end no-fault evictions altogether, so that a tenant can only be evicted in ordinary times due to unacceptable or unlawful behaviour?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, mae'r cyfyngiadau symud wedi tynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd cael cartref diogel. Mae Shelter Cymru yn amcangyfrif bod 42 y cant o denantiaid preifat yng Nghymru yn agored i gael eu troi allan heb fai, ac fe addawsoch chi yn eich anerchiad yng nghynhadledd y llynedd y byddech yn gwahardd hyn. Hefyd, wrth gwrs, yn sgil y pandemig, amcangyfrifir bod 40 y cant o rentwyr yng Nghymru ar ei hôl hi o ran talu eu rhent. Wrth gwrs, byddai gadael pobl yn ddigartref ar unrhyw adeg yn anfaddeuol, ond byddai gwneud hynny yng nghanol pandemig byd-eang yn arbennig o niweidiol. Yn yr Alban, bydd estyniad o chwe mis i'r gwaharddiad ar droi rhentwyr allan yng nghanol pandemig COVID-19, ac eto yng Nghymru, ar hyn o bryd, nid oes ymrwymiad tebyg, er bod Shelter yn galw am estyniad. A gaf i annog Llywodraeth Cymru i wneud dau beth: yn gyntaf, ymestyn y gwaharddiad ar droi allan, beth bynnag yw amgylchiadau'r tenantiaid, tan fydd y pandemig ar ben, ac, yn ail, efelychu dull yr Alban a deddfu i roi terfyn ar droi allan heb fai yn gyfan gwbl, fel mai dim ond oherwydd ymddygiad annerbyniol neu anghyfreithlon, mewn cyfnod arferol, y ceir troi tenant allan?
English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, as we approach the end of this month, the UK Government's Eat Out to Help Out scheme will finish, a scheme that has been universally welcomed by the hospitality industry and has helped support businesses and keep businesses afloat across Wales over the past few weeks. Of course, as we enter the autumn and winter months, it's crucial that there is still support for hospitality businesses across Wales, particularly as many will face reduced sales as families return to work and children return to school. First Minister, the Welsh hospitality industry may well struggle and have to consider taking difficult decisions, and its workers may face the very real possibility of redundancy. We already know from the Welsh Government's latest survey that two thirds of tourism businesses still have staff on furlough, and that half of businesses are still not operating at full capacity. Indeed, the industry is not helped by Welsh Government Ministers telling people that some traditional socialising should be a thing of the past, at a time when so many businesses and jobs are reliant on customers coming through their doors. Therefore, First Minister, can you tell us what strategy the Welsh Government has for specifically supporting the Welsh hospitality industry over the short and, indeed, the medium term? And can you tell us what additional funding will be made available to the hospitality sector to help support businesses and jobs over the next few months?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, wrth i ni nesáu at ddiwedd y mis hwn, bydd cynllun Bwyta Allan i Helpu Allan Llywodraeth y DU yn dod i ben, cynllun sydd wedi cael ei groesawu gan bawb yn y diwydiant lletygarwch ac sydd wedi helpu i gefnogi busnesau a chadw busnesau ar agor ledled Cymru dros yr wythnosau diwethaf. Wrth gwrs, wrth i ni fynd i mewn i fisoedd yr hydref a'r gaeaf, mae'n hanfodol bod cefnogaeth o hyd i fusnesau lletygarwch ledled Cymru, yn enwedig gan y bydd llawer yn wynebu llai o werthiannau wrth i deuluoedd ddychwelyd i'r gwaith a phlant yn dychwelyd i'r ysgol. Prif Weinidog, mae'n ddigon posibl y bydd diwydiant lletygarwch Cymru yn ei chael hi'n anodd ac yn gorfod ystyried gwneud penderfyniadau anodd, ac efallai bydd ei weithwyr yn wynebu'r posibilrwydd gwirioneddol o gael eu diswyddo. Gwyddom eisoes o arolwg diweddaraf Llywodraeth Cymru fod gan ddwy ran o dair o fusnesau twristiaeth aelodau staff ar ffyrlo o hyd, ac nad yw hanner y busnesau'n gweithredu'n llawn eto. Yn wir, nid yw Gweinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru yn helpu'r diwydiant wrth ddweud wrth bobl y dylai rhai mathau o gymdeithasu traddodiadol fod yn perthyn i'r gorffennol, ar adeg pan fo cynifer o fusnesau a swyddi'n dibynnu ar gwsmeriaid yn dod drwy eu drysau. Felly, Prif Weinidog, a wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni pa strategaeth sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn benodol ar gyfer cefnogi diwydiant lletygarwch Cymru dros y tymor byr ac, yn wir, y tymor canolig? Ac a wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni pa gyllid ychwanegol a fydd ar gael i'r sector lletygarwch i helpu i gefnogi busnesau a swyddi dros yr ychydig fisoedd nesaf?
