English: Thank you, Minister, for your statement, and thank you for your regular briefings to the spokespeople as well. Minister, you mentioned that the economic resilience fund was paused last Monday, I wonder if you could confirm more detail about the next phase of the scheme, because businesses will be absolutely anxious to find out when that's going to be announced and what's going to be in that. There are some significant gaps that I know, from our discussions, that you are aware of, but perhaps you could clarify whether some of these issues will be identified in the next phase. I'm thinking particularly of newly self-employed groups of people; businesses that are not registered for value added tax, which are currently excluded from the scheme; and then, of course, there are the businesses that pay business rates, effectively, within their rent to their landlords; and also owner-directors of microbusinesses; and also support for charities or not-for-profit organisations that are not eligible for support currently. And, of course, one of the biggest sectors that has been affected currently, I'm sure you'll agree with me, is the tourism sector, and it's looking like the entire season is going to be wiped out for them for this year, unfortunately. So, in that regard, I wonder if you could outline what considerations the Welsh Government has given to introducing any specific measures for the tourism and hospitality sector. And why has the Welsh Government given direction to local authorities to impose new criteria, which have excluded self-catering holiday-let businesses from accessing financial support through the small business rate relief scheme, rather than providing national guidance with which all local authorities could abide to ensure fairness? I think the other issue is about local authorities being a bit concerned about applying discretion, because they're not sure whether they'll be able to recoup some of the funding back afterwards.
Welsh: Diolch am eich datganiad, Weinidog, a diolch i chi am eich sesiynau briffio rheolaidd i'r llefarwyr hefyd. Weinidog, fe sonioch chi fod y gronfa cadernid economaidd wedi'i rhewi ddydd Llun diwethaf. Tybed a allech chi roi mwy o fanylion am gam nesaf y cynllun, oherwydd bydd busnesau'n awyddus iawn i wybod pryd y caiff hynny ei gyhoeddi a beth fydd ei gynnwys. Gwn o'n trafodaethau fod rhai bylchau sylweddol rydych yn ymwybodol ohonynt, ond efallai y gallech egluro a fydd rhai o'r materion hyn yn cael eu nodi yn y cam nesaf. Rwy'n meddwl yn arbennig am grwpiau o bobl sydd newydd ddod yn hunangyflogedig; busnesau nad ydynt wedi'u cofrestru ar gyfer treth ar werth, sydd wedi'u heithrio o'r cynllun ar hyn o bryd; ac yna, wrth gwrs, mae'r busnesau sy'n talu ardrethi busnes, i bob pwrpas, o fewn eu rhent i'w landlordiaid; a hefyd perchnogion-gyfarwyddwyr microfusnesau; a hefyd cymorth i elusennau neu sefydliadau dielw nad ydynt yn gymwys i gael cymorth ar hyn o bryd. Ac wrth gwrs, un o'r sectorau mwyaf yr effeithiwyd arnynt ar hyn o bryd, rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn cytuno, yw'r sector twristiaeth, ac mae'n ymddangos y byddant yn colli'r tymor cyfan eleni, yn anffodus. Felly, yn hynny o beth, tybed a allech chi amlinellu pa ystyriaethau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'u rhoi i gyflwyno mesurau penodol ar gyfer y sector twristiaeth a lletygarwch. A pham fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi rhoi cyfarwyddyd i awdurdodau lleol osod meini prawf newydd, sydd wedi eithrio busnesau gwyliau hunanddarpar rhag cael mynediad at gymorth ariannol drwy'r cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi i fusnesau bach, yn hytrach na darparu canllawiau cenedlaethol y gall pob awdurdod lleol eu dilyn er mwyn sicrhau tegwch? Rwy'n credu mai'r broblem arall yw bod awdurdodau lleol yn poeni ychydig am weithredu disgresiwn, oherwydd nid ydynt yn siŵr a fyddant yn gallu adennill peth o'r arian yn ôl wedyn.
