English: 'For instance, Wales has a higher share of retail, leisure and hospitality properties (43%) compared to England (38%) - though this is likely to be offset by their lower average rateable values. Their lower rateable values meant that a relatively larger share of Welsh premises (75%) qualify for the £10,000 grant compared to England (70%). This is despite the fact that the grant is only made available to businesses with a rateable value of less than £12,000 in Wales, whereas businesses with a rateable value of between £12,000 and £15,000 are also eligible for this support in England.' I think that the paper was right. On the publication of that report, Plaid Cymru argued that there should have been, at the very least, temporary reforms made to the formula, for example including a specific coronavirus needs-based factor. But ultimately, I think the pandemic has shown that we need that sort of longer term reform of Barnett, and we need it urgently. The second issue is the inflexibilities placed on the Welsh Government in terms of the ability to borrow and draw down from the Wales reserve. I certainly - as did the Finance Committee - welcome the fact that there has been some budging by the Treasury on this, in reference to their agreement to allow £650 million to be carried over to the 2021-22 budget. But, we are still in no better position in terms of the Government's actual fiscal powers than we were at the beginning of the pandemic. The Minister has repeatedly said that the Welsh Government are in talks with the UK Government on addressing these inflexibilities. We are none the wiser really as to how those talks have gone, or are going, which suggests to me that things aren't going well; little surprise, given the fact that Government hasn't been willing to do things that it has been able to do - for example, borrow. I will quote Gerry Holtham here: 'Failing to borrow in two successive financial years' - that's 2019-20 and 2020-21 - 'seems unambitious.' I agree with him. So, Dirprwy Lywydd, these are unprecedented times. There's a lot in this supplementary budget - the third one, remarkably - to welcome here. But, what this financial year has shown is that the Government cannot afford to bury collective heads in the sand on the need to move forward on Wales's fiscal autonomy.
Welsh: 'Er enghraifft, mae gan Gymru gyfran uwch o eiddo manwerthu, hamdden a lletygarwch (43%) o'i gymharu â Lloegr (38%) - er bod hyn yn debygol o gael ei wrthbwyso gan eu gwerthoedd ardrethol cyfartalog is. Roedd eu gwerthoedd ardrethol is yn golygu bod cyfran gymharol fwy o safleoedd Cymru (75%) yn gymwys ar gyfer y grant o £10,000 o'i gymharu â Lloegr (70%). Mae hyn er gwaethaf y ffaith mai dim ond i fusnesau sydd â gwerth ardrethol o lai na £12,000 yng Nghymru y mae'r grant ar gael, tra bod busnesau sydd â gwerth ardrethol o rhwng £12,000 a £15,000 hefyd yn gymwys i gael y cymorth hwn yn Lloegr.' Credaf fod y papur yn gywir. O ran cyhoeddi'r adroddiad hwnnw, dadleuodd Plaid Cymru y dylid bod wedi gwneud diwygiadau dros dro i'r fformiwla o leiaf, er enghraifft gan gynnwys ffactor penodol sy'n seiliedig ar anghenion oherwydd y coronafeirws. Ond yn y pen draw, credaf fod y pandemig wedi dangos bod arnom ni angen y math hwnnw o ddiwygio ar Fformiwla Barnett yn y tymor hwy, ac mae arnom ni ei angen ar frys. Yr ail fater yw'r anhyblygrwydd a osodir ar Lywodraeth Cymru o ran y gallu i fenthyca a defnyddio cronfa wrth gefn Cymru. Rwy'n sicr - fel y gwnaeth y Pwyllgor Cyllid - yn croesawu'r ffaith bod y Trysorlys wedi ildio ychydig ynghylch hyn, gan gyfeirio at y ffaith iddyn nhw gytuno i ganiatáu dwyn £650 miliwn ymlaen i gyllideb 2021-22. Ond, nid ydym ni mewn sefyllfa well o hyd o ran pwerau cyllidol gwirioneddol y Llywodraeth nag yr oeddem ni ar ddechrau'r pandemig. Mae'r Gweinidog wedi dweud dro ar ôl tro fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynnal trafodaethau gyda Llywodraeth y DU o ran mynd i'r afael â'r anhyblygrwydd hwn. Nid ydym ni ddim callach o ran canlyniad y trafodaethau hynny, neu eu hynt ar hyn o bryd, sy'n awgrymu i mi nad yw pethau'n mynd yn dda; heb fawr o syndod, o ystyried y ffaith nad yw'r Llywodraeth wedi bod yn barod i wneud pethau y mae wedi gallu eu gwneud - er enghraifft, benthyca. Dyfynnaf Gerry Holtham yma: 'Mae methu â benthyca mewn dwy flynedd ariannol olynol' - hynny yw 2019-20 a 2020-21 - 'yn ymddangos yn anuchelgeisiol.' Cytunaf ag ef. Felly, Dirprwy Lywydd, mae hwn yn gyfnod digynsail. Mae llawer yn y gyllideb atodol hon - y drydedd, yn rhyfeddol - i'w croesawu yma. Ond, yr hyn y mae'r flwyddyn ariannol hon wedi'i ddangos yw na all y Llywodraeth fforddio anwybyddu pethau fel cyfangorff o ran yr angen i symud ymlaen ar ymreolaeth ariannol Cymru.
