English: Well, just for the record, whilst we were later than England in relation to this, we went beyond Lucy's law. That's why it's not called Lucy's law; we went beyond that, and ours is far stronger. You will have heard my answer to Vikki Howells - I think it was question 1 - around how we have been working. We haven't just been sitting back waiting for these regulations to come into force; we've been working with our local authorities. We funded the three-year project, which is still ongoing, which enhances the training and better guidance for inspectors, and it really improves resources within local authorities. I don't think any of them thought it would be more of a cost. We are continuing to work with the enforcement project, and Monmouthshire County Council is looking at how we set up a database so that members of the public can access the licensing rules and the breeders that they are able to go to, and to provide information, as I say, for purchasers. I understand they went out to tender earlier this year, and those tenders are currently being processed. But I think a database of that quality would be really good, going forward.
Welsh: Wel, er gwybodaeth, er ein bod yn hwyrach na Lloegr mewn perthynas â hyn, aethom y tu hwnt i gyfraith Lucy. Dyna pam nad yw'n cael ei galw'n gyfraith Lucy; aethom y tu hwnt i hynny, ac mae ein cyfraith ni'n gryfach o lawer. Byddwch wedi clywed fy ateb i Vikki Howells - credaf mai cwestiwn 1 ydoedd - ynglŷn â sut y buom yn gweithio. Nid ydym wedi bod yn eistedd yn ôl ac yn aros i'r rheoliadau hyn ddod i rym; rydym wedi bod yn gweithio gyda'n hawdurdodau lleol. Gwnaethom ariannu'r prosiect tair blynedd, sy'n dal i fynd rhagddo, ac sy'n gwella'r hyfforddiant a'r arweiniad i arolygwyr, ac mae'n sicr yn gwella adnoddau o fewn awdurdodau lleol. Ni chredaf fod unrhyw un ohonynt wedi meddwl y byddai'n arwain at fwy o gost. Rydym yn parhau i weithio gyda'r prosiect gorfodi, ac mae Cyngor Sir Fynwy yn edrych ar sut rydym yn sefydlu cronfa ddata fel y gall y cyhoedd gael mynediad at y rheolau trwyddedu a'r bridwyr y gallant fynd atynt, a darparu gwybodaeth, fel y dywedaf, i brynwyr. Rwy'n deall iddynt agor proses dendro yn gynharach eleni, ac mae'r tendrau hynny'n cael eu prosesu ar hyn o bryd. Ond credaf y byddai cronfa ddata o'r safon honno'n dda iawn wrth symud ymlaen.
English: It's encouraging to know that there is movement in ending the abhorrent practice of ear cropping dogs. Ear cropping is linked to unlicensed breeders, especially of American bully type dogs, and local rescues, such as Hope Rescue in Llanharan, are inundated with reports of ear-cropped dogs and have concerns around current resources to investigate complaints, especially when also linked with unlicensed breeding. For example, it took seven months to bring one breeder to justice, and I'm told that there have been 30 unlicensed breeders with ear-cropped dogs reported to one local authority recently. I'm sure the Minister, like me, wants to see such practices resigned to the history books here in Wales, and I would be grateful if she would be able to update Members on what actions the Welsh Government are taking to address the resource gap reported by rescues across Wales, specifically when it come to ear cropping.
Welsh: Mae'n galonogol gwybod bod gwaith yn mynd rhagddo i ddod â'r arfer ffiaidd o docio clustiau cŵn i ben. Mae cysylltiad rhwng tocio clustiau â bridwyr didrwydded, yn enwedig gyda chŵn fel y bwli Americanaidd, ac mae canolfannau achub lleol, fel Hope Rescue yn Llanharan, yn derbyn llu o adroddiadau am docio clustiau cŵn ac mae ganddynt bryderon ynghylch adnoddau cyfredol i ymchwilio i gwynion, yn enwedig pan fyddant hefyd yn gysylltiedig â bridio didrwydded. Er enghraifft, cymerodd saith mis i ddod ag un bridiwr gerbron llys, a dywedir wrthyf fod un awdurdod lleol wedi cael gwybod yn ddiweddar am 30 o fridwyr didrwydded a chanddynt gŵn â'u clustiau wedi'u tocio. Rwy'n siŵr fod y Gweinidog, fel fi, yn dymuno gweld arferion o'r fath yn hen hanes yma yng Nghymru, a byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallai roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau ar ba gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â'r bwlch adnoddau a nodir gan ganolfannau achub ledled Cymru, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â thocio clustiau.
English: Again, I haven't really heard of the increase in ear cropping of dogs investigations that you refer to, but if you do have some specific examples of it, I'd be very keen for you to write to me so I can take it up with the chief veterinary officer and ask her to look into it. I think it is fair to say that a lot of the legislation, which isn't devolved - I mean, some of it is; some of it isn't - but certainly some of the legislation that's reserved, is not fit for purpose, around particularly our rural crime that we're seeing. I've had discussions - I mean, we've now got a rural and wildlife crime commissioner, but prior to that - with some of the rural teams in relation to this. So, I have been ensuring officials work with the UK Government to make sure that legislation is fit for purpose. But I would be grateful if you could write to me specifically on this point, please.
Welsh: Unwaith eto, nid wyf wedi clywed am y cynnydd y cyfeiriwch ato mewn ymchwiliadau i docio clustiau cŵn, ond os oes gennych rai enghreifftiau penodol, byddwn yn falch iawn pe baech yn ysgrifennu ataf fel y gallaf fynd i'r afael â'r mater gyda'r prif swyddog milfeddygol a gofyn iddi ei archwilio. Credaf ei bod yn deg dweud bod llawer o'r ddeddfwriaeth, nad yw wedi'i datganoli - mae rhywfaint ohoni wedi; a rhywfaint heb - ond yn sicr, nid yw rhywfaint o'r ddeddfwriaeth a gedwir ôl yn addas at y diben, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â'r troseddau cefn gwlad rydym yn eu gweld. Rwyf wedi cael trafodaethau - mae gennym bellach gomisiynydd troseddau cefn gwlad a bywyd gwyllt, ond cyn hynny - gyda rhai o'r timau gwledig mewn perthynas â hyn. Felly, rwyf wedi bod yn sicrhau bod swyddogion yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU i sicrhau bod y ddeddfwriaeth yn addas at y diben. Ond byddwn yn ddiolchgar pe gallech ysgrifennu ataf yn benodol ar y pwynt hwn, os gwelwch yn dda.
English: I have a rescue greyhound. Every year, young and healthy greyhound dogs are killed because they lack winning potential, were injured while they were racing, or are no longer competitive. Racing greyhounds routinely experience terrible injuries on the track, such as broken legs, cardiac arrest, spinal cord paralysis and broken necks. My own dog has a very injured neck, for example, so I can speak from experience. They also suffer off the track, spending most of their time stacked in warehouse-style kennels. Minister, given the level of cruelty to greyhounds, I hope the Government can move to consider a ban on greyhound racing here in Wales. Could you please make a statement on your position on banning greyhound racing in Wales? Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Mae gennyf filgi achub. Bob blwyddyn, mae milgwn ifanc ac iach yn cael eu lladd am nad oes ganddynt botensial i ennill, wedi eu hanafu wrth rasio, neu am nad ydynt bellach yn gystadleuol. Mae milgwn rasio'n aml yn cael anafiadau ofnadwy ar y trac, fel ataliad y galon a pharlys llinyn asgwrn y cefn, ac yn torri'u coesau a'u gyddfau. Mae fy nghi fy hun wedi anafu ei wddf yn ddifrifol, er enghraifft, felly gallaf siarad o brofiad. Maent hefyd yn dioddef oddi ar y trac, gan dreulio'r rhan fwyaf o'u hamser un ar ben y llall mewn warws o gytiau. Weinidog, o ystyried lefel y creulondeb i filgwn, rwy'n gobeithio y gall y Llywodraeth ystyried gwaharddiad ar rasio milgwn yma yng Nghymru. A allwch wneud datganiad ar eich safbwynt ar wahardd rasio milgwn yng Nghymru? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: Thank you, and it's great that you have a rescue dog. Certainly, when I was at the Dogs Trust last week - no, the week before, sorry - promoting our ban on third party sales, there were several greyhounds at the dog rescue. I probably shouldn't tell you that, because you'll be going round there. We did have a discussion around the number, because it was very obvious how many were there. I will have to write to the Member on the current position in relation to greyhounds. FootnoteLink
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, ac mae'n wych fod gennych gi achub. Yn sicr, pan oeddwn yn y Dogs Trust yr wythnos diwethaf - na, yr wythnos cynt, mae'n ddrwg gennyf - yn hyrwyddo ein gwaharddiad ar werthu gan drydydd parti, roedd sawl milgi yn y ganolfan achub cŵn. Mae'n debyg na ddylwn ddweud hynny wrthych, gan y byddwch yn mynd yno. Cawsom drafodaeth ynghylch y nifer, gan ei bod yn amlwg iawn faint oedd yno. Bydd yn rhaid imi ysgrifennu at yr Aelod ynglŷn â'r sefyllfa bresennol mewn perthynas â milgwn. FootnoteLink
English: Diolch. I have not had any specific discussions with the Minister for Climate Change. However, transport officials have been in discussion with local authorities and are awaiting applications for funding this financial year for ground investigation and detailed design works. Local authorities are fully aware of what was required, and the sooner Welsh Government receives the information requested, the sooner it can be considered.
Welsh: Diolch. Nid wyf wedi cael unrhyw drafodaethau penodol gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd. Fodd bynnag, mae swyddogion trafnidiaeth wedi bod yn trafod gydag awdurdodau lleol ac yn aros am geisiadau am gyllid yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon ar gyfer ymchwiliadau tir a gwaith cynllunio manwl. Mae awdurdodau lleol yn gwbl ymwybodol o'r hyn oedd ei angen, a pho gyntaf y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru'n derbyn y wybodaeth y gofynnwyd amdani, cyntaf yn y byd y gall ei hystyried.
English: Thank you for your answer. The B5605 at Newbridge near Wrexham, as I'm sure you will have guessed I was going to raise, was swept away, of course, by a landslip caused by storm Christoph recently. It isn't a rural back road, as you know. It's quite an important through road for a large number of communities, a large number of people, and it transpires now it could be two, maybe three years before that road is fixed, if at all, if funding is available. Now, the delays have already led to greater subsidence at the site, which will only ultimately mean a greater cost to fix the road. So, in your role as Minister for north Wales, can I ask what efforts you've made to make fixing this road a greater priority of Welsh Government, and, indeed, what efforts you've made to try and make sure that funding is available to fix the road as soon as possible?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb. Mae'n siŵr y byddwch wedi dyfalu fy mod am grybwyll y B5605 yn Newbridge ger Wrecsam a gafodd ei hysgubo i ffwrdd, wrth gwrs, gan dirlithriad a achoswyd gan storm Christoph yn ddiweddar. Nid yw'n ffordd gefn wledig, fel y gwyddoch. Mae'n ffordd eithaf pwysig i nifer fawr o gymunedau, nifer fawr o bobl, ac mae'n dod i'r amlwg yn awr y gallai fod yn ddwy, efallai tair blynedd cyn i'r ffordd honno gael ei hatgyweirio, os o gwbl, os oes cyllid ar gael. Nawr, mae'r oedi eisoes wedi arwain at fwy o ymsuddiant ar y safle, a fydd yn y pen draw yn golygu mwy o gost i atgyweirio'r ffordd. Felly, yn eich rôl fel Gweinidog gogledd Cymru, a gaf fi ofyn pa ymdrechion rydych wedi'u gwneud i sicrhau bod atgyweirio'r ffordd hon yn fwy o flaenoriaeth i Lywodraeth Cymru, ac yn wir, pa ymdrechion rydych wedi'u gwneud i geisio sicrhau bod cyllid ar gael i atgyweirio'r ffordd cyn gynted â phosibl?
English: So, whilst I haven't had a discussion with the Minister for Climate Change, I have had a discussion with officials at Wrexham council. I did a visit to the aqueduct, and, of course, as you know, the road that you refer to, which, of course, Wrexham council are responsible for, is not far away. So, I know there's been a further meeting between transport officials and officers at Wrexham council. As I say, we're waiting for an application for funding for this financial year for ground investigation and the design works. That, then, will inform, obviously, any future application that comes from the council for funding the construction work that's required. I know that Wrexham council did submit a bid for funding to make urgent repairs to the flood risk management infrastructure. But that funding - it was, obviously, previously in my portfolio - is only available when it's acting in accordance with the Flood and Water Management Act and in line with the policy that's set out in the national strategy for flood and coastal erosion risk management infrastructure and the grant memorandum. So, their bid was unsuccessful because any repair works wouldn't reduce the risk of flooding, which, obviously, is the reason funding is given. So, I appreciate that it's very frustrating, but it is really up to the council now to make sure that they provide the information that the Welsh Government have asked for. So, I will continue to press for this. Obviously, it is a matter of urgency, but I'm afraid that the ball is firmly in the council's court.
Welsh: Er nad wyf wedi cael trafodaeth gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd, rwyf wedi cael trafodaeth gyda swyddogion yng nghyngor Wrecsam. Ymwelais â'r draphont ddŵr, ac wrth gwrs, fel y gwyddoch, nid yw'r ffordd y cyfeiriwch ati, y mae cyngor Wrecsam yn gyfrifol amdani wrth gwrs, yn bell i ffwrdd. Felly, gwn fod cyfarfod pellach wedi'i gynnal rhwng swyddogion trafnidiaeth a swyddogion yng nghyngor Wrecsam. Fel y dywedaf, rydym yn aros am gais am arian ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol hon ar gyfer ymchwiliad tir a'r gwaith cynllunio. Bydd hynny, felly, yn amlwg yn llywio unrhyw gais a wneir gan y cyngor yn y dyfodol am gyllid ar gyfer y gwaith adeiladu sy'n angenrheidiol. Gwn fod cyngor Wrecsam wedi cyflwyno cais am gyllid i wneud atgyweiriadau brys i'r seilwaith rheoli perygl llifogydd. Ond nid yw'r cyllid hwnnw - yn amlwg, roedd yn arfer bod yn rhan o'm portffolio - ond ar gael pan yw'n gweithredu'n unol â'r Ddeddf Rheoli Llifogydd a Dŵr ac yn unol â'r polisi a nodir yn y strategaeth genedlaethol ar gyfer y seilwaith rheoli perygl llifogydd ac erydu arfordirol a'r memorandwm grant. Felly, roedd eu cais yn aflwyddiannus gan na fyddai unrhyw waith atgyweirio yn lleihau'r perygl o lifogydd, sef y rheswm, yn amlwg, pam fod y cyllid yn cael ei roi. Felly, rwy'n derbyn bod hyn yn rhwystredig iawn, ond mater i'r cyngor yn awr yw sicrhau eu bod yn darparu'r wybodaeth y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gofyn amdani. Felly, byddaf yn parhau i bwyso am hyn. Yn amlwg, mae'n fater o frys, ond mae arnaf ofn mai'r cyngor sydd i gymryd y cam nesaf.
English: Good afternoon, Minister. Flooding caused by last winter's storm - storm Christoph - had a devastating impact on communities in the Vale of Clwyd, most notably with the destruction of the historic Llanerch bridge, which lies between Trefnant and Tremeirchion, and isolating these communities as they're rural. The latest estimates put the start of the works to replace the bridge during the summer of 2023. I don't find this acceptable, as don't over 300 of my constituents, who recently signed a petition online calling for a swift resolution. Do you agree with me, Minister, that the historic bridge should be replaced sooner and will you work with the local authority to expedite the reconstruction of the Llanerch bridge? Thank you very much.
Welsh: Prynhawn da, Weinidog. Cafodd llifogydd a achoswyd gan storm y gaeaf diwethaf - storm Christoph - effaith ddinistriol ar gymunedau yn Nyffryn Clwyd, yn enwedig gyda difa pont hanesyddol Llanerch, rhwng Trefnant a Thremeirchion, gan i hynny ynysu'r cymunedau hyn oherwydd eu bod yn wledig. Mae'r amcangyfrifon diweddaraf yn nodi y bydd y gwaith i ailadeiladu'r bont yn cychwyn yn haf 2023. Nid yw hyn yn dderbyniol yn fy marn i, nac ym marn dros 300 o fy etholwyr a lofnododd ddeiseb ar-lein yn ddiweddar i alw am ddatrysiad cyflym. A ydych yn cytuno â mi, Weinidog, y dylid ailadeiladu'r bont hanesyddol yn gynt ac a wnewch chi weithio gyda'r awdurdod lleol i gyflymu'r gwaith o ailadeiladu pont Llanerch? Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: Obviously, in my capacity as Minister for north Wales, again, this has not been raised directly with me, but I'm sure that it has been raised - I'm not even sure if you haven't raised it - with the Minister for Climate Change. But I will certainly ask where the bid is and what work has been done with organisations to have a look at this bridge in Llanerch and I will write to the Member.
Welsh: Yn amlwg, yn rhinwedd fy swydd fel Gweinidog gogledd Cymru, unwaith eto, ni chodwyd hyn yn uniongyrchol gyda mi, ond rwy'n siŵr ei fod wedi'i godi - nid wyf hyd yn oed yn siŵr nad ydych chi wedi ei godi - gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd. Ond byddaf yn sicr yn gofyn ble mae'r cais arni a pha waith a wnaed gyda sefydliadau i gael golwg ar y bont hon yn Llanerch a byddaf yn ysgrifennu at yr Aelod.
English: I'm aware of quite a lot of infrastructure in north Wales that's been impacted by flooding, including those two examples that have been raised today, and they've not fitted that criteria for funding that the Minister mentioned earlier. I am aware, as previous cabinet member for transportation, that, every year, there's an underspend that usually goes to the trunk road agency. I think, last year, there was an underspend of £16 million and previously £20 million - it's quite a significant amount of underspend that goes back, sometimes to local authorities, but mainly the trunk road agency, which does have quite a lot of funding each year that I'm aware of. And with the pause on building new roads as well, could that money be reallocated to help with infrastructure that's been damaged by flooding, which would greatly help local authorities that are really cash-strapped in north Wales? That's the question to you, thank you.
Welsh: Rwy'n ymwybodol o gryn dipyn o seilwaith yng ngogledd Cymru sydd wedi cael ei effeithio gan lifogydd, gan gynnwys y ddwy enghraifft a grybwyllwyd heddiw, ac nid ydynt wedi bodloni'r meini prawf ar gyfer cyllid y soniodd y Gweinidog amdanynt yn gynharach. Rwy'n ymwybodol, fel cyn-Aelod y cabinet dros drafnidiaeth fod yna danwariant bob blwyddyn sydd fel arfer yn mynd i'r asiantaeth cefnffyrdd. Y llynedd, rwy'n credu bod tanwariant o £16 miliwn a £20 miliwn cyn hynny - mae'n danwariant go sylweddol sy'n mynd yn ôl, weithiau, i awdurdodau lleol, ond yn bennaf i'r asiantaeth cefnffyrdd, sy'n cael cryn dipyn o gyllid y gwn amdano bob blwyddyn. A chyda'r oedi ar adeiladu ffyrdd newydd hefyd, a ellid ailddyrannu'r arian hwnnw i helpu gyda seilwaith sydd wedi'i ddifrodi gan lifogydd, rhywbeth a fyddai o gymorth mawr i awdurdodau lleol sy'n brin iawn o arian yng ngogledd Cymru? Dyna'r cwestiwn i chi, diolch.
English: Thank you. As I just referred, that budget sits with the Minister for Climate Change, or the Deputy Minister for Climate Change, and, as you're aware, he's currently doing a review of roads. I'm not personally aware of any underspend and, obviously, we're not very well into this financial year yet. But, clearly, it might be advisable if you wrote to the Deputy Minister for Climate Change on that specific point around his budget.
Welsh: Diolch. Fel y dywedais, y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd, neu'r Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd, sy'n gyfrifol am y gyllideb honno, ac fel y gwyddoch, ar hyn o bryd, mae'n cynnal adolygiad o ffyrdd. Yn bersonol, nid wyf yn ymwybodol o unrhyw danwariant, ac yn amlwg, nid oes llawer o'r flwyddyn ariannol hon wedi bod eto. Ond yn amlwg, gallai fod yn syniad da pe baech yn ysgrifennu at y Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd ynglŷn â'r pwynt penodol hwnnw am ei gyllideb.
English: Thank you. The theft of pets is a criminal act. It is a reserved issue under the Theft Act 1968. DEFRA recently published the pet theft taskforce report and recommendations. My officials will continue to discuss the proposed UK Government's new criminal laws and how we can collaborate to tackle this serious issue, alongside issuing strong messaging on responsible ownership.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae dwyn anifeiliaid anwes yn weithred droseddol. Mae'n fater a gedwir yn ôl o dan Ddeddf Dwyn 1968. Yn ddiweddar, cyhoeddodd DEFRA adroddiad ac argymhellion y tasglu dwyn anifeiliaid anwes. Bydd fy swyddogion yn parhau i drafod cyfreithiau troseddol newydd arfaethedig Llywodraeth y DU a sut y gallwn gydweithio i fynd i'r afael â'r mater difrifol hwn, ynghyd â chyhoeddi negeseuon cryf ar berchnogaeth gyfrifol.
English: Diolch, Weinidog. I also want to raise the issue of pet theft with the Minister, alongside Natasha Asghar, and especially dog theft, because we did see that sharp rise in the demand for pups during the pandemic, which has been linked to the recent rise in dog thefts, as, sadly, dogs have increasingly become a profitable target for thieves. In my region of South Wales West, 59 dogs were rescued in an operation across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot in April this year. A number of these dogs were believed to have been stolen, and this was in addition to six stolen dogs rescued by police in Briton Ferry in January. I welcome that which you said in your answer previously about co-operation with DEFRA, but can you tell worried owners in my region when we can expect action to be taken on this issue here in Wales? Can you provide a timetable, and how, specifically, is the Welsh Government working with police and other stakeholders, like RSPCA Cymru, to deal with this matter?
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Rwyf innau, fel Natasha Asghar, yn dymuno codi mater dwyn anifeiliaid anwes gyda'r Gweinidog, ac yn enwedig dwyn cŵn, gan inni weld cynnydd sydyn yn y galw am gŵn bach yn ystod y pandemig, sydd wedi'i gysylltu â'r cynnydd diweddar mewn achosion o ddwyn cŵn, wrth i gŵn, yn anffodus, ddod yn darged mwyfwy proffidiol i ladron. Yn fy rhanbarth i yng Ngorllewin De Cymru, cafodd 59 o gŵn eu hachub mewn ymgyrch ar draws Abertawe a Chastell-nedd Port Talbot ym mis Ebrill eleni. Credwyd bod nifer o'r cŵn hyn wedi cael eu dwyn, a hynny'n ychwanegol at chwe chi wedi'u dwyn a achubwyd gan yr heddlu yn Llansawel ym mis Ionawr. Rwy'n croesawu'r hyn a ddywedoch chi yn eich ateb yn flaenorol am gydweithredu â DEFRA, ond a allwch ddweud wrth berchnogion pryderus yn fy rhanbarth pryd y gallwn ddisgwyl y bydd camau'n cael eu cymryd ar y mater hwn yma yng Nghymru? A allwch ddarparu amserlen, a sut, yn benodol, y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gweithio gyda'r heddlu a rhanddeiliaid eraill, fel RSPCA Cymru, i fynd i'r afael â'r mater hwn?
