English: Well, as so often with this Minister for Economy and Transport, the motions begin with a newspaper headline, now claiming historic underinvestment by the UK Government in Wales's rail infrastructure. In a written statement last December, this Minister stated that Wales has been the poor relation of the UK's rail investment and that we've received less than 2 per cent of the investment in rail improvements in recent years. However, after this was put to Network Rail in the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee in 2017, they copied Members on the 2015-16 Office of Rail and Road's annual report, 'UK Rail Industry Financial Information 2015-16', which stated that Wales actually received 9.6 per cent of net Government funding for franchised train operators and Network Rail, and 6.4 per cent of the total net Government funding for Network Rail routes. The following year's report, published in 2018, shone further light on this. On average, Government contributed £1.53 per passenger journey in England, £6.08 in Scotland and £8.82 in Wales. Net Government funding, as a percentage of the rail industry's total income in England, Scotland and Wales was 17 per cent in England, 47 per cent in Scotland and 49 per cent in Wales. Net Government funding for rail franchises as a percentage of total income, including infrastructure funding, was 56 per cent for Wales and the borders, compared to just 21 per cent for the GB total. Wales and borders received 9.4 per cent of net Government funding by franchise area. Across all GB routes, expenditure per passenger was highest in the Wales route at 43p per kilometre. Wales received over 5 per cent of GB Network Rail enhancements expenditure by route, and Wales received almost 10 per cent of total Government funding of franchised train operators and Network Rail - [ Interruption.] Certainly.
Welsh: Wel, fel sy'n digwydd mor aml gyda Gweinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth yma, mae'r cynigion yn dechrau gyda phennawd papur newydd, nawr yn honni tanfuddsoddi hanesyddol gan Lywodraeth y DU yn seilwaith rheilffyrdd Cymru. Mewn datganiad ysgrifenedig fis Rhagfyr diwethaf, dywedodd y Gweinidog yma mai Cymru gafodd y swm lleiaf o fuddsoddiad rheilffyrdd yn y DU a'n bod ni wedi derbyn llai na 2 y cant o'r buddsoddiad mewn gwelliannau rheilffyrdd yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Fodd bynnag, wedi cyfleu hyn wrth Network Rail yn y Pwyllgor Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau yn 2017, anfonwyd copi o adroddiad blynyddol Swyddfa Rheilffordd a Ffyrdd, 'UK Rail Industry Financial Information 2015-16' i'r Aelodau, sy'n datgan i Gymru mewn gwirionedd dderbyn 9.6 y cant o arian net y Llywodraeth ar gyfer gweithredwyr masnachfraint trenau a Network Rail, a 6.4 y cant o gyfanswm net cyllid y Llywodraeth ar gyfer llinellau trên Network Rail. Rhoddodd adroddiad y flwyddyn ganlynol, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2018, oleuni pellach ar hyn. Ar gyfartaledd, cyfrannodd y Llywodraeth £1.53 fesul taith teithiwr yn Lloegr, £6.08 yn yr Alban a £8.82 yng Nghymru. Cyllid net y Llywodraeth, fel canran o incwm cyfan y diwydiant rheilffordd yng Nghymru, yr Alban a Lloegr oedd 17 y cant yn Lloegr, 47 y cant yn yr Alban a 49 y cant yng Nghymru. Cyllid net y Llywodraeth ar gyfer masnachfreintiau rheilffyrdd fel canran o gyfanswm yr incwm, gan gynnwys cyllid ar gyfer seilwaith, oedd 56 y cant yng Nghymru a'r Gororau, o'i gymharu â dim ond 21 y cant ar gyfer cyfanswm Prydain Fawr. Derbyniodd Cymru a'r Gororau 9.4 y cant o arian net gan y Llywodraeth o ran ardal masnachfraint. O blith holl linellau Prydain Fawr, yng Nghymru oedd y gwariant mwyaf fesul teithiwr, sef 43c y cilomedr. Derbyniodd Cymru dros 5 y cant o wariant gwella Network Rail GB fesul llinell, a derbyniodd Cymru bron i 10 y cant o gyfanswm cyllid Llywodraeth gweithredwyr masnachfraint trenau a Network Rail - [ Torri ar draws.] Wrth gwrs.
