English: Well can I first say that, obviously, Alun Cairns has resigned in the last couple of hours, and I think that was the right thing to do in the circumstances? Clearly, our Government and his Government have had significant differences over a number of issues. But I should say that both Ken Skates and myself have had cordial and professional relationships with Alun Cairns, and, especially on the city deals, we've worked well together, and we certainly wouldn't have wished his time as a Minister to come to an end in this way. On the question directly posed, it's most unfortunate that the Severnside collaboration has been called 'west Britain' in some of its social media activity. Certainly, that's not designed to get it off to a good start. We are keen, obviously, to look at a forum that can collaborate across the border, just as we do in north Wales with the Mersey Dee Alliance. However, we are sceptical about the intentions behind the setting up of this alliance and giving it, certainly, any institutional character because we fear the UK Government are using this as a Trojan horse to undermine the Welsh Government through whatever comes of the shared prosperity fund. We look forward to seeing if anything comes of the shared prosperity fund. But we are approaching it, I think, with scepticism. The chair that's been appointed, Katherine Bennett, is a very good person and we certainly wouldn't wish to undermine her in any way. This is not a joint appointment, but we certainly would like a conversation with her about how she feels this alliance goes forward, with our concerns in mind.
Welsh: Wel, a gaf fi ddweud yn gyntaf, yn amlwg, fod Alun Cairns wedi ymddiswyddo yn ystod yr ychydig oriau diwethaf, a chredaf mai dyna oedd y peth iawn i'w wneud o dan yr amgylchiadau? Yn amlwg, mae ein Llywodraeth a'i Lywodraeth yntau wedi anghytuno ynghylch nifer o faterion. Ond dylwn ddweud bod Ken Skates a minnau wedi cael perthynas dwymgalon a phroffesiynol gydag Alun Cairns, ac yn enwedig ar y bargeinion dinesig, rydym wedi cydweithio'n dda gyda'n gilydd, ac yn sicr, ni fyddem wedi dymuno i'w amser fel Gweinidog ddod i ben fel hyn. O ran y cwestiwn uniongyrchol, mae'n anffodus iawn fod cydweithrediad Glannau Hafren wedi cael ei alw'n 'orllewin Prydain' yn rhywfaint o'i weithgarwch ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Yn sicr, nid dyna'r cynllun i sicrhau ei fod yn cael dechrau da. Rydym yn awyddus, yn amlwg, i edrych ar fforwm a all gydweithredu dros y ffin, fel y gwnawn yng ngogledd Cymru gyda Cynghrair Mersi a'r Ddyfrdwy. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn amheus ynghylch y bwriad y tu ôl i sefydlu'r gynghrair hon, ac yn sicr, ynghylch rhoi unrhyw nodweddion sefydliadol iddi gan ein bod yn ofni bod Llywodraeth y DU yn defnyddio hyn fel ceffyl pren Troea i danseilio Llywodraeth Cymru drwy beth bynnag a ddaw o'r gronfa ffyniant gyffredin. Rydym yn edrych ymlaen at weld a ddaw unrhyw beth o'r gronfa ffyniant gyffredin. Ond credaf ein bod yn ymdrin â hyn gyda pheth amheuaeth. Mae'r cadeirydd a benodwyd, Katherine Bennett, yn unigolyn da iawn ac yn sicr ni fyddem yn dymuno ei thanseilio mewn unrhyw ffordd. Nid apwyntiad ar y cyd mo hwn, ond yn sicr, hoffem gael sgwrs gyda hi ynglŷn â sut y mae'n teimlo y dylai'r gynghrair hon weithredu, gyda'n pryderon mewn golwg.
