English: Thank you. I can confirm the Welsh Government had no advance notice that the Port Talbot-based company was entering administration. We were not contacted by the company to advise that they were in difficulty. Therefore, we could not pass that on to Powys County Council. As soon as we heard, we did try and contact the company directly to better understand the situation that they were in and to offer support. Officials have made contact with both the business and the administrator, and former employees within the business have been notified of the support available from the Welsh Government's ReAct programme, along with advice and guidance from Careers Wales and Jobcentre Plus. I also note that, as far as we can tell from a full analysis of the Dawnus supply chain, there is no evidence that we've seen to show that there was any financial exposure to the companies from the collapse of Dawnus. In fact, they operated almost entirely in the social housing sphere. The situation with Powys, as the Member rightly identifies, is that the company had been awarded the contract to begin work on the £3.5 million development in Newtown, which was expected to start in the last week or so, but the site remains closed. It was a 26 one-bedroomed flat project, the first affordable housing development for social rent commissioned by Powys in over 40 years. They'd secured a grant of £2.1 million from the Welsh Government, under the innovative housing programme, to part-fund the project, and we've been working closely with Powys council, and they're clear that the innovative housing programme funding will not be affected. However, the contract will need to be retendered, which will create a delay in the start of the build, I'm afraid.
Welsh: Diolch. Gallaf gadarnhau na chafodd Llywodraeth Cymru unrhyw rybudd ymlaen llaw fod y cwmni o Bort Talbot yn mynd i ddwylo'r gweinyddwyr. Ni chysylltodd y cwmni â ni i ddweud eu bod mewn trafferth. Felly, ni allem roi'r wybodaeth honno i Gyngor Sir Powys. Cyn gynted ag y clywsom, gwnaethom ymdrech i gysylltu â'r cwmni'n uniongyrchol i ddeall y sefyllfa roeddent ynddi yn well ac i gynnig cefnogaeth. Mae swyddogion wedi cysylltu â'r busnes a'r gweinyddwr, ac mae rhai o gyn-weithwyr y busnes wedi cael gwybod am y gefnogaeth sydd ar gael drwy raglen ReAct Llywodraeth Cymru, ynghyd â chyngor ac arweiniad gan Gyrfa Cymru a'r Ganolfan Byd Gwaith. Nodaf hefyd, hyd y gallwn ddweud o ddadansoddiad llawn o gadwyn gyflenwi Dawnus, nad ydym wedi gweld unrhyw dystiolaeth i ddangos bod y cwmnïau'n agored i unrhyw risg ariannol yn sgil methiant Dawnus. Yn wir, roeddent yn gweithredu bron yn gyfan gwbl yn y maes tai cymdeithasol. Y sefyllfa gyda Phowys, fel y mae'r Aelod yn ei nodi'n gwbl gywir, yw bod y cwmni wedi cael y contract i ddechrau gweithio ar y datblygiad £3.5 miliwn yn y Drenewydd, ac roedd disgwyl iddo ddechrau yn ystod yr wythnos neu ddwy ddiwethaf, ond mae'r safle ar gau o hyd. Roedd yn brosiect ar gyfer 26 o fflatiau un ystafell wely, y datblygiad tai fforddiadwy cyntaf ar gyfer rhentu cymdeithasol a gomisiynwyd gan Bowys ers dros 40 mlynedd. Roeddent wedi sicrhau grant o £2.1 miliwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru, o dan y rhaglen tai arloesol, i ariannu'r prosiect yn rhannol, ac rydym wedi bod yn gweithio'n agos gyda chyngor Powys, ac maent yn mynnu na fydd y cyllid ar gyfer y rhaglen tai arloesol yn cael ei effeithio. Fodd bynnag, bydd angen aildendro'r contract, a bydd hynny'n creu oedi cyn dechrau'r gwaith adeiladu, mae arnaf ofn.
