English: Thank you. Our strategy is to lay a strong foundation for change across the region. I updated the Senedd yesterday on the progress we have made with the Valleys taskforce. In addition to that, the Tech Valleys programme has made commitments of over £22 million to help create 600 sustainable jobs, and our £90 million transforming towns programme has a strong Heads of the Valleys focus too.
Welsh: Diolch. Ein strategaeth yw gosod sylfaen gref ar gyfer newid ledled y rhanbarth. Rhoddais y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Senedd ddoe ar y cynnydd a wnaethom gyda thasglu'r Cymoedd. Yn ogystal â hynny, mae'r rhaglen Cymoedd Technegol wedi gwneud ymrwymiadau o dros £22 miliwn i helpu i greu 600 o swyddi cynaliadwy, ac mae ffocws cryf ar Flaenau'r Cymoedd yn ein rhaglen trawsnewid trefi £90 miliwn hefyd.
English: Deputy Presiding Officer, I'm grateful to the Minister for that update, and I was grateful to him for his statement yesterday. The coronavirus has affected our communities and our lives in profoundly different ways and it's made us challenge many assumptions that we've accepted over many years. One of the most profound potential impacts and longer term impacts of the coronavirus has been a challenge to the notion and the concept that cities will continue to develop, and that city centres are the only places where business can properly be transacted. This means that, for the first time in many decades, we have an opportunity to create a renaissance for towns and villages and communities, and Wales, if it is anything, is a nation of small towns. I hope, Deputy Minister, that we will be able to create a strategy to underpin a renaissance for the towns in the Heads of the Valleys. When I think of my own constituency, my own home town of Tredegar, and of Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr, of Abertillery, Nantyglo and Blaina, we've all seen difficult, difficult times over many decades, and this is an opportunity that the Welsh Government really needs to grasp and promote and drive forward over the coming years.
Welsh: Ddirprwy Lywydd, rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Gweinidog am y diweddariad hwnnw, ac roeddwn yn ddiolchgar iddo am ei ddatganiad ddoe. Mae'r coronafeirws wedi effeithio ar ein cymunedau a'n bywydau mewn ffyrdd gwahanol iawn ac mae wedi gwneud i ni herio llawer o ragdybiaethau rydym wedi'u derbyn dros nifer o flynyddoedd. Un o effeithiau posibl dwysaf a mwy hirdymor y coronafeirws yw'r her i'r syniad a'r cysyniad y bydd dinasoedd yn parhau i ddatblygu, ac mai canol dinasoedd yw'r unig leoedd lle gellir cyflawni busnes yn iawn. Am y tro cyntaf mewn degawdau lawer, mae hyn yn golygu bod gennym gyfle i sicrhau dadeni ar gyfer trefi a phentrefi a chymunedau, ac os rhywbeth, cenedl o drefi bach yw Cymru. Ddirprwy Weinidog, rwy'n gobeithio y gallwn greu strategaeth yn sail i ddadeni'r trefi ym Mlaenau'r Cymoedd. Pan fyddaf yn meddwl am fy etholaeth fy hun, fy nhref enedigol fy hun, Tredegar, a Glynebwy, Bryn-mawr, Abertyleri, Nant-y-glo a Blaenau, rydym i gyd wedi gweld adegau anodd iawn dros ddegawdau lawer, ac mae hwn yn gyfle y mae gwir angen i Lywodraeth Cymru ei fachu a'i hyrwyddo dros y blynyddoedd i ddod.
English: Well, I agree with that. I think towns are facing a swirl of change. There's no doubt that digital disruption has had a huge impact, was already under way before the pandemic, and the pandemic has certainly accelerated that. But on the other hand, as Alun Davies rightly points out, there are opportunities from changes in attitudes and behaviours. It's one of the reasons why, when we set our target for 30 per cent of people working from home after the pandemic, we've identified alongside it an opportunity to place some of those workers within town centres into core working hubs. People will no longer have to travel to commute to work. Many will choose to do so, and it will be a mix of remote and flexible working, we hope, but there's certainly an opportunity for towns to have a different role, and I think that's what I would say here - that all people involved in the sense of place and the role of town centres have a responsibility to rethink what towns are for. We're certainly putting a significant amount of infrastructure investment in place. We've committed £6 million to Blaenau Gwent alone under the transforming towns fund, which will unleash a further £4 million. That's a £10-million pot to regenerate the towns just in Blaenau Gwent. We have adopted a town-centre-first principle in public sector investment decisions. Certainly, we know from the foundational economy projects that the public sector can have an anchor role within town centres to draw in other activity. But he's right - all of us need to think strategically about how to marshal these forces for the good of towns.
Welsh: Wel, rwy'n cytuno â hynny. Rwy'n credu bod trefi'n wynebu newid mawr. Nid oes amheuaeth fod aflonyddwch digidol wedi cael effaith enfawr, roedd eisoes yn digwydd cyn y pandemig, ac mae'r pandemig yn sicr wedi ei gyflymu. Ond ar y llaw arall, fel y noda Alun Davies yn gywir, ceir cyfleoedd wrth newid agweddau ac ymddygiad. Mae'n un o'r rhesymau pam rydym wedi nodi cyfle ochr yn ochr â hyn, pan wnaethom osod ein targed i 30 y cant o bobl weithio gartref ar ôl y pandemig, i osod rhai o'r gweithwyr yng nghanol trefi mewn canolfannau gweithio craidd. Ni fydd yn rhaid i bobl deithio i gymudo i'r gwaith mwyach. Bydd llawer yn dewis gwneud hynny, ac rydym yn gobeithio y bydd yn gymysgedd o weithio o bell a gweithio hyblyg, ond yn sicr mae cyfle i drefi gael rôl wahanol, a chredaf mai dyna fyddwn i'n ei ddweud yma - fod gan bawb sy'n ymwneud â'r ymdeimlad o le a rôl canol trefi gyfrifoldeb i ailfeddwl beth yw pwrpas trefi. Rydym yn sicr yn rhoi cryn dipyn o fuddsoddiad seilwaith ar waith. Rydym wedi ymrwymo £6 miliwn i Flaenau Gwent yn unig o dan y gronfa trawsnewid trefi, a fydd yn rhyddhau £4 miliwn arall. Dyna botyn gwerth £10 miliwn i adfywio'r trefi ym Mlaenau Gwent yn unig. Rydym wedi mabwysiadu egwyddor canol y dref yn gyntaf mewn penderfyniadau buddsoddi sector cyhoeddus. Yn sicr, drwy brosiectau'r economi sylfaenol, gwyddom y gall y sector cyhoeddus fod â rôl angori yng nghanol trefi i ddenu gweithgaredd arall i mewn. Ond mae'n iawn - mae angen i bob un ohonom feddwl yn strategol ynglŷn â sut i drefnu'r grymoedd hyn er budd trefi.
English: Last month, Wales saw the largest increase in unemployment in the UK due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. There's been a substantial increase in the number of people within the Valleys taskforce region claiming unemployment benefits - for example, the unemployment benefit claimant count increased between March and October 2020 by 68 per cent in Blaenau Gwent, 71 per cent in Torfaen, and 65 per cent in Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney. The retail vacancy rate in Wales has also increased from 15.9 per cent to 18 per cent in the third quarter of this year, the largest jump anywhere in the UK. Given that the best way to improve people's lives, not just in the Valleys but obviously in the whole of Wales, is through providing long-term, sustainable and skilled employment opportunities, what specific targeted support will you provide to Valleys towns, and what plans do you have to extend the number of enterprise zones in these areas?
Welsh: Y mis diwethaf, gwelodd Cymru y cynnydd mwyaf mewn diweithdra yn y DU oherwydd effeithiau'r pandemig coronafeirws. Bu cynnydd sylweddol yn nifer y bobl yn rhanbarth tasglu'r Cymoedd sy'n hawlio budd-daliadau diweithdra - er enghraifft, cynyddodd nifer y rhai sy'n hawlio budd-daliadau diweithdra 68 y cant ym Mlaenau Gwent rhwng mis Mawrth a mis Hydref 2020, 71 y cant yn Nhorfaen, a 65 y cant ym Merthyr Tudful a Rhymni. Mae'r gyfradd swyddi gwag mewn manwerthu yng Nghymru hefyd wedi cynyddu o 15.9 y cant i 18 y cant yn nhrydydd chwarter eleni, y naid fwyaf yn unrhyw ran o'r DU. O ystyried mai'r ffordd orau o wella bywydau pobl, nid yn unig yn y Cymoedd, ond yng Nghymru gyfan wrth gwrs, yw trwy ddarparu cyfleoedd cyflogaeth cynaliadwy a swyddi medrus hirdymor, pa gymorth penodol wedi'i dargedu y byddwch chi'n ei ddarparu i drefi'r Cymoedd, a pha gynlluniau sydd gennych i ymestyn nifer yr ardaloedd menter yn y mannau hyn?
English: The evidence on enterprise zones is mixed, and certainly the economy committee's report on them a few years ago reinforced that. We set out yesterday the activities, specifically in the Valleys taskforce area, on a whole range of interventions around placemaking, and we have set out considerable financial support for those businesses in distress because of the pandemic. We've also set out a recovery plan to make sure that, when we emerge from the pandemic, we have an emphasis on remaking our economy in a better way.
Welsh: Mae'r dystiolaeth ar ardaloedd menter yn gymysg, ac yn sicr roedd adroddiad y Pwyllgor Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau arnynt ychydig flynyddoedd yn ôl yn atgyfnerthu hynny. Ddoe gwnaethom nodi'r gweithgareddau, yn benodol yn ardal tasglu'r Cymoedd, ar ystod eang o ymyriadau'n ymwneud â chreu lleoedd, ac rydym wedi nodi cefnogaeth ariannol sylweddol i fusnesau sy'n dioddef oherwydd y pandemig. Rydym hefyd wedi nodi cynllun adfer i wneud yn siŵr, pan fyddwn yn cefnu ar y pandemig, ein bod yn rhoi pwyslais ar ail-wneud ein heconomi mewn ffordd well.
English: This is a really important matter raised by the Member. I have a question about priorities for funding in the area, because transforming town centres and providing better public transport is obviously key. I've been raising concerns with the Government about the cost of dualling an 11-mile stretch of road on the A465, which has increased from the original estimate of £428 million to £1.2 billion mainly because of the decision to use the mutual investment model. As I've said every time I've mentioned this, I welcome investment in our communities, but I do question whether spending £1.2 billion on 11 miles of concrete is justified when so many people in the area are living in poverty. The annual cost of repayment will be more than the annual budget of Communities First, the Welsh Government's flagship anti-poverty scheme, which it closed and never replaced. So, I'd ask the Minister what assessment was made by the Government, if any, of other means of improving that stretch of road that would have improved road safety without costing all that money?
Welsh: Mae'r mater a godwyd gan yr Aelod yn bwysig iawn. Mae gennyf gwestiwn am flaenoriaethau ar gyfer cyllid yn yr ardal, oherwydd mae trawsnewid canol trefi a darparu gwell trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus yn amlwg yn allweddol. Rwyf wedi bod yn mynegi pryderon wrth y Llywodraeth ynglŷn â chost deuoli darn o ffordd 11 milltir ar yr A465, sydd wedi cynyddu o'r amcangyfrif gwreiddiol o £428 miliwn i £1.2 biliwn yn bennaf oherwydd y penderfyniad i ddefnyddio'r model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol. Fel y dywedais bob tro rwyf wedi crybwyll hyn, rwy'n croesawu buddsoddiad yn ein cymunedau, ond rwy'n cwestiynu a oes modd cyfiawnhau gwario £1.2 biliwn ar 11 milltir o goncrit pan fo cymaint o bobl yr ardal yn byw mewn tlodi. Bydd cost flynyddol yr ad-daliad yn fwy na chyllideb flynyddol Cymunedau yn Gyntaf, cynllun gwrth-dlodi blaenllaw Llywodraeth Cymru, a ddaeth i ben heb i ddim gael ei roi yn ei le. Felly byddwn yn gofyn i'r Gweinidog pa asesiad a wnaed gan y Llywodraeth, os o gwbl, o ffyrdd eraill o wella'r darn hwn o ffordd a fyddai wedi gwella diogelwch ar y ffyrdd heb gostio'r holl arian hwnnw?
English: I'm sure the Member is deliberately putting me in a difficult position, because she knows full well my view on investment in roads versus sustainable transport, and certainly in our Wales transport strategy we've set out that, in future, we want to shift our emphasis towards modal shift. In terms of this particular project, as she knows and as the First Minister has pointed out to her, the mutual investment model is a more sophisticated approach than she gives it credit, and the figure quoted involves the whole-of-life maintenance costs, which are significant. But she is right to say, in terms of addressing transport poverty for some of the most challenged communities in the country, we do need to make sure that we do more in future to help people who don't have a car, rather than reinforcing car dependency.
Welsh: Rwy'n siŵr fod yr Aelod yn fy rhoi mewn sefyllfa anodd yn fwriadol, gan ei bod yn gwybod yn iawn beth yw fy marn ar fuddsoddi mewn ffyrdd yn erbyn trafnidiaeth gynaliadwy, ac yn sicr yn ein strategaeth drafnidiaeth yng Nghymru rydym wedi nodi ein bod, yn y dyfodol, am symud ein pwyslais tuag at newid moddol. O ran y prosiect penodol hwn, fel y gŵyr ac fel y mae'r Prif Weinidog wedi dweud wrthi, mae'r model buddsoddi cydfuddiannol yn ddull mwy soffistigedig nag y mae hi'n ei ddisgrifio, ac mae'r ffigur a ddyfynnir yn cynnwys y costau cynnal a chadw gydol oes, sy'n sylweddol. Ond mae hi'n iawn i ddweud, o ran mynd i'r afael â thlodi trafnidiaeth i rai o'r cymunedau sy'n wynebu'r amgylchiadau mwyaf heriol yn y wlad, mae angen inni sicrhau ein bod yn gwneud mwy yn y dyfodol i helpu pobl nad oes ganddynt gar, yn hytrach na chadarnhau dibyniaeth ar geir.
English: We now go to spokespeople's questions, and the first up this afternoon is Conservative spokesperson, Russell George.
Welsh: Symudwn at gwestiynau'r llefarwyr yn awr, a'r cyntaf y prynhawn yma yw llefarydd y Ceidwadwyr, Russell George.
English: Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. Minister, what is the Welsh Government's assessment of how the restrictions on the hospitality sector in regard to the Christmas period will affect the Welsh economy?
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Weinidog, beth yw asesiad Llywodraeth Cymru o sut y bydd y cyfyngiadau ar y sector lletygarwch mewn perthynas â chyfnod y Nadolig yn effeithio ar economi Cymru?
English: Can I thank Russell George for his first question and take this opportunity, with it being my last OAQ session of the year, to wish Russell and every Member in the Siambr the very best for a peaceful Christmas and new year? And with regard to hospitality, we fully recognise the incredibly difficult position that many, many businesses across Wales are in as a consequence of those rising numbers of coronavirus victims. But we have put in place an unprecedented support package, the most generous and comprehensive anywhere in the United Kingdom, with specifically £340 million of support for businesses in tourism, hospitality and leisure in the coming weeks.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Russell George am ei gwestiwn cyntaf a manteisio ar y cyfle hwn, gan mai dyma fy sesiwn gwestiynau'r llefarwyr olaf eleni, i ddymuno'r gorau i Russell a phob Aelod yn y Siambr am Nadolig a blwyddyn newydd heddychlon? Ac o ran lletygarwch, rydym yn llwyr gydnabod y sefyllfa hynod o anodd y mae llawer o fusnesau ledled Cymru yn ei hwynebu o ganlyniad i'r niferoedd cynyddol o ddioddefwyr coronafeirws. Ond rydym wedi rhoi pecyn cymorth digynsail ar waith, y mwyaf hael a chynhwysfawr yn unrhyw ran o'r Deyrnas Unedig, gyda £340 miliwn o gymorth yn benodol ar gyfer busnesau ym maes twristiaeth, lletygarwch a hamdden yn ystod yr wythnosau nesaf.
English: Thank you for your answer, Minister, and for your good Christmas wishes to us all. From my perspective, Minister, businesses have bent over backwards to comply with anything that has been asked of them to make their businesses COVID-secure for their staff and for their customers. Some small businesses have spent thousands of pounds ahead of the Christmas period to do just that. And to put some context to this, the industry employs about 140,000 people with tens of thousands of additional people further in the supply chain. The reality, sadly, is that some small businesses will go to the wall if restrictions are not lifted on 17 December and if they are prevented from trading safely over the Christmas period. The worst situation, I think, for them is not knowing whether or not they can reopen. So, can you provide some clarity right now to businesses across Wales on what the current thinking is so that they can either plan to reopen and order the necessary stock, or plan to close for the whole of the Christmas period? And will you look at bringing forward that financial support that you mentioned, because January will simply be too late for some?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog, ac am eich dymuniadau da ar gyfer y Nadolig i bob un ohonom. O'm safbwynt i, Weinidog, mae busnesau wedi gwneud eu gorau glas i gydymffurfio ag unrhyw beth y gofynnwyd iddynt ei wneud er mwyn sicrhau bod eu busnesau'n ddiogel rhag COVID i'w staff a'u cwsmeriaid. Mae rhai busnesau bach wedi gwario miloedd o bunnoedd cyn cyfnod y Nadolig i wneud yn union hynny. Ac i roi rhywfaint o gyd-destun i hyn, mae'r diwydiant yn cyflogi tua 140,000 o bobl gyda degau o filoedd o bobl ychwanegol yn bellach ar hyd y gadwyn gyflenwi. Y realiti, yn anffodus, yw y bydd rhai busnesau bach yn mynd i'r wal os na chodir cyfyngiadau ar 17 Rhagfyr ac os cânt eu hatal rhag masnachu'n ddiogel dros gyfnod y Nadolig. Rwy'n credu mai'r sefyllfa waethaf iddynt hwy yw peidio â gwybod a gânt ailagor ai peidio. Felly, a allwch roi rhywfaint o eglurder yn awr i fusnesau ledled Cymru ynglŷn â beth yw'r meddylfryd presennol fel y gallant naill ai gynllunio i ailagor ac archebu'r stoc angenrheidiol, neu gynllunio i gau drwy gydol cyfnod y Nadolig? Ac a wnewch chi ystyried cyflwyno'r cymorth ariannol y sonioch chi amdano yn gynt, oherwydd bydd mis Ionawr yn rhy hwyr i rai?
English: Can I thank Russell for his further questions? There were a number of elements to his contribution. First and foremost, with regard to the restrictions and the period that they will be in place for, I should say that every restriction that we've put in place helps to save human life, but we're acutely aware as well of the need to save livelihoods, which is why we're making available such significant sums of financial support. We're constantly monitoring infection rates. At the moment, in some parts of Wales, those numbers are incredibly high and we wish to bring those numbers down as fast as we possibly can, and that requires all of us as citizens to consider not just what we can do by the rule of the law, but what we should do to assist in reducing infection rates. Now, in terms of the period during which financial support will be offered, of course, any business that received financial support during the firebreak period and operates within the hospitality sector will have those second payments coming through this month, and then the operating costs support that is applied through the economic resilience fund will be available in January, ensuring that, over the course of two months, businesses have access to vital financial support that can cover their operating costs and address the lack of turnover over the six or so weeks that these restrictions are in place.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Russell am ei gwestiynau pellach? Roedd nifer o elfennau i'w gyfraniad. Yn bennaf oll, o ran y cyfyngiadau a'r cyfnod y byddant yn weithredol, dylwn ddweud bod pob cyfyngiad a roddwyd ar waith yn helpu i achub bywydau pobl, ond rydym yn ymwybodol iawn hefyd o'r angen i achub bywoliaeth pobl, a dyna pam rydym yn darparu symiau mor sylweddol o gymorth ariannol. Rydym yn monitro cyfraddau heintio'n gyson. Ar hyn o bryd, mewn rhai rhannau o Gymru, mae'r niferoedd hynny'n eithriadol o uchel ac rydym yn awyddus i'w gostwng mor gyflym ag y gallwn, a golyga hynny fod rhaid i bob un ohonom fel dinasyddion ystyried nid yn unig yr hyn y cawn ei wneud yn gyfreithlon, ond yr hyn y dylem ei wneud i helpu i leihau cyfraddau heintio. Nawr, o ran y cyfnod pan gynigir cymorth ariannol, bydd unrhyw fusnes a gafodd gymorth ariannol yn ystod y cyfnod atal byr ac sy'n gweithredu o fewn y sector lletygarwch yn cael yr ail daliadau hynny y mis hwn, ac yna bydd y cymorth costau gweithredu a gymhwysir drwy'r gronfa cadernid economaidd ar gael ym mis Ionawr, gan sicrhau, dros gyfnod o ddau fis, fod gan fusnesau fynediad at gymorth ariannol hanfodol a all dalu eu costau gweithredu a mynd i'r afael â'r diffyg trosiant dros yr oddeutu chwe wythnos y bydd y cyfyngiadau hyn yn weithredol.
English: Thank you for your answer, Minister. Any businesses in the hospitality sector would have already bought stock in the later part of November, in the early part of December in order to fulfil the needs of this period and between now up to Christmas. So, for many businesses, this is the time of year when cash flow is the tightest for them, and I'd simply say that to receive funding in January, or even into February, is simply too late. And if it's not too late, it's going to be too late for the supply chains that flow from those particular businesses, and that would be, certainly, my firm view. The other point, Minister, that I'd make is that the one-size-fits-all approach that the Welsh Government is taking at the moment is, in my view, needlessly damaging businesses across Wales with relatively low infection rates and transmission rates. You pointed out in your last answer that you're monitoring - correctly, as well - where infection rates are particularly high, but that obviously means that there are some areas of Wales where the rates are particularly low. So, I would suggest we need targeted intervention that's backed by science and that reflects the different levels of risk in different parts of the country. So, can I ask my final question, Minister? Why does the Welsh Government continue to insist on a Wales-wide approach, impacting on livelihoods in parts of Wales that have some of the lowest rates of infection in the whole of the UK, and is this something that you will now reconsider ahead of the Christmas period that's now ahead of us?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog. Byddai unrhyw fusnesau yn y sector lletygarwch eisoes wedi prynu stoc ar ddiwedd mis Tachwedd neu ddechrau mis Rhagfyr er mwyn diwallu anghenion y cyfnod hwn a rhwng nawr a'r Nadolig. Felly, i lawer o fusnesau, dyma'r adeg o'r flwyddyn pan fo llif arian ar ei dynnaf iddynt, a byddwn yn dweud bod cael cyllid ym mis Ionawr, neu hyd yn oed i mewn i fis Chwefror, yn rhy hwyr. Ac os nad yw'n rhy hwyr, bydd yn rhy hwyr i'r cadwyni cyflenwi sy'n llifo o'r busnesau hynny, a dyna'n sicr fyddai fy marn gadarn i. Y pwynt arall yr hoffwn ei wneud, Weinidog, yw bod y dull un maint i bawb sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar hyn o bryd yn niweidio busnesau ledled Cymru sydd â chyfraddau heintio a chyfraddau trosglwyddo cymharol isel, a hynny'n ddiangen yn fy marn i. Fe wnaethoch nodi yn eich ateb diwethaf eich bod yn monitro - yn gywir hefyd - lle mae cyfraddau heintio yn arbennig o uchel, ond mae hynny'n amlwg yn golygu bod rhai ardaloedd yng Nghymru lle mae'r cyfraddau'n arbennig o isel. Felly, byddwn yn awgrymu bod angen ymyrraeth wedi'i thargedu arnom wedi'i chefnogi gan wyddoniaeth ac sy'n adlewyrchu'r gwahanol lefelau o risg mewn gwahanol rannau o'r wlad. Felly, a gaf fi ofyn fy nghwestiwn olaf, Weinidog? Pam y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i fynnu gweithredu dull ar gyfer Cymru gyfan sy'n effeithio ar fywoliaeth pobl mewn rhannau o Gymru sydd â rhai o'r cyfraddau heintio isaf yn y DU gyfan, ac a yw hyn yn rhywbeth y byddwch chi'n ei ailystyried nawr, cyn cyfnod y Nadolig sydd o'n blaenau yn awr?
English: Thank you. I turn to Plaid Cymru spokesperson, Helen Mary Jones.
Welsh: Diolch. Trof at lefarydd Plaid Cymru, Helen Mary Jones.
English: Can you bring your comments to a close?
Welsh: A wnewch chi ddod â'ch sylwadau i ben?
English: - and they would, of course, provide a lifeline to some businesses.
Welsh: - a byddent, wrth gwrs, yn achubiaeth i rai busnesau.
