English: If you look particularly at the budget improvement plan, you'll see a look back as to what we've been doing in recent years to try and ensure that the Act informs the preparation of the budget, but, again, it looks forward up to a further five years as to how we can seek to better embed the Act in our ways of working right across Government. I commend that document to colleagues. Prevention, of course, is about so many things, but, as I was saying, housing is a particularly important element. So, in the budget, you'll see £108 million continued investment to support social landlords to ensure that the housing quality standard is achieved in our 225,000 social homes. That's no mean feat at all. You'll see £50 million of financial transactions capital in our housing loans programme, and that's about assisting registered social landlords with funding development plans for new social housing and helping to, crucially, start to decarbonise those existing homes, and £400,000 to provide advice on home energy and on tackling fuel poverty for low-income homes. Another area that we didn't have the opportunity to speak too much about in the previous debate was the importance of education and early years in the preventative agenda, because education is clearly one of the most important investments that we can make to improve the life chances of children, particularly those from deprived communities and those with protected characteristics. So, some specific examples would be the £10 million to support the delivery of the new curriculum for Wales, which is at the heart of our action plan to raise school standards. That's supplemented by an additional £3 million for the development of national networks, and a further £15 million for the professional learning to ensure our teaching profession receives the support that it needs. I'm particularly pleased with the £8 million additional investment to support children and young people with additional learning needs to receive a high-quality education and to reach their potential. Cardiff Airport was mentioned a few times, and, on 21 October, my colleague the Minister for Economy and Transport announced an extended commercial loan facility to the airport. But I think it's important to recognise that, of the £21.2 million, £4.8 million falls in 2020-21 and it's reflected in this budget. So, that is in no way new money - it's previously announced - and refinancing is a normal and appropriate activity. I think it's also important to recognise that airports are valued by the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, and that's a primary measure of how airports are valued globally. Cardiff Airport's valuation there has increased from £7,000 to £77,000, so that's clearly a big increase, and that reflects the strong growth in the airport's revenues, which were up 34 per cent on the previous financial year. So, that's just in response to some of the issues that were raised about Cardiff Airport at the start of the debate. But, just to remind colleagues as well, of the global airports that service scheduled flights, only 14 per cent of them aren't in public ownership, so airports such as Charles de Gaulle in Paris, Schiphol in Amsterdam, and JFK in New York are all publicly owned, and our concern should be really with the squeeze that the UK Government is putting on smaller and regional airports. I've just a few moments left to reflect on the issue of the future of business rates, which was also mentioned by the opposition spokesperson. Welsh Government is undertaking a large suite of research to help inform us about the potential changes that we might wish to make to local taxes - so, non-domestic rates and council tax - and we're publishing a series of research reports over the coming weeks that will help us and others, I hope, start to formulate their ideas as to creating a vision as to where those taxes might go in future. So, just to conclude, we will have the UK Government's budget on 11 March, and that could have some quite big implications for our spending plans. It will also be accompanied by a new economic and fiscal outlook from the OBR, which might impact on the prospects for the devolved tax revenues and also the associated block grant adjustments. The UK Government could also make changes to tax policy that might affect decisions about devolved taxes in Wales, so I do commit to keeping colleagues updated and updating the Assembly on those impacts as soon as possible, and very much look forward to engaging with the Finance Committee on the work that it's doing when it considers the process of budget setting, and I'm particularly keen to set on record now my keenness to accept your recommendation regarding an early debate within the financial year, because I found that particularly interesting and helpful at the start of this process.
Welsh: Os edrychwch chi'n benodol ar gynllun gwella'r gyllideb, byddwch yn gweld golwg yn ôl ar yr hyn yr ydym ni wedi bod yn ei wneud yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf i geisio sicrhau bod y Ddeddf yn hysbysu'r gwaith o baratoi'r gyllideb, ond, unwaith eto, mae'n edrych ymlaen hyd at bum mlynedd arall o ran sut y gallwn ni geisio gwreiddio'r Ddeddf yn well yn ein ffyrdd o weithio ar draws y Llywodraeth gyfan. Cymeradwyaf y ddogfen honno i'm cyd-Aelodau. Mae atal, wrth gwrs, yn ymwneud â chymaint o bethau, ond, fel roeddwn i'n dweud, mae tai yn elfen arbennig o bwysig. Felly, yn y gyllideb, byddwch yn gweld £108 miliwn o fuddsoddiad parhaus i gynorthwyo landlordiaid cymdeithasol i sicrhau bod y safon ansawdd tai yn cael ei bodloni yn ein 225,000 o gartrefi cymdeithasol. Mae hynny'n dipyn o gamp. Byddwch yn gweld £50 miliwn o gyfalaf trafodion ariannol yn ein rhaglen benthyciadau tai, a diben hwnnw yw cynorthwyo landlordiaid cymdeithasol cofrestredig i ariannu cynlluniau datblygu ar gyfer tai cymdeithasol newydd a helpu, yn hollbwysig, i ddechrau datgarboneiddio'r cartrefi presennol hynny, a £400,000 i roi cyngor ar ynni yn y cartref ac ar fynd i'r afael â thlodi tanwydd ymhlith cartrefi incwm isel. Maes arall na chawsom gyfle i siarad llawer amdano yn y ddadl flaenorol oedd pwysigrwydd addysg a'r blynyddoedd cynnar yn yr agenda ataliol, oherwydd mae addysg yn amlwg yn un o'r buddsoddiadau pwysicaf y gallwn ni eu gwneud i wella cyfleoedd bywyd plant, yn enwedig y rhai o gymunedau difreintiedig a'r rhai â nodweddion gwarchodedig. Felly, rhai enghreifftiau penodol fyddai'r £10 miliwn i gynorthwyo darpariaeth y cwricwlwm newydd i Gymru, sydd wrth wraidd ein cynllun gweithredu i godi safonau ysgolion. Ategir hynny gan £3 miliwn ychwanegol ar gyfer datblygu rhwydweithiau cenedlaethol, a £15 miliwn arall ar gyfer y dysgu proffesiynol i sicrhau bod ein proffesiwn addysgu yn cael y cymorth sydd ei angen arno. Rwy'n arbennig o falch gyda'r buddsoddiad ychwanegol o £8 miliwn i gynorthwyo plant a phobl ifanc ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol i gael addysg o ansawdd uchel a gwireddu eu potensial. Soniwyd am faes awyr Caerdydd ychydig o weithiau, ac, ar 21 Hydref, cyhoeddodd fy nghyd-Weinidog, Gweinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth, gyfleuster benthyciad masnachol estynedig i'r maes awyr. Ond rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig cydnabod, o'r £21.2 miliwn, bod £4.8 miliwn wedi'i neilltuo ar gyfer 2020-21 ac wedi ei adlewyrchu yn y gyllideb hon. Felly, nid yw hwnnw'n arian newydd mewn unrhyw ffordd - fe'i cyhoeddwyd eisoes - ac mae ail-gyllido'n weithgaredd normal a phriodol. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig cydnabod hefyd bod meysydd awyr yn cael eu prisio ar sail yr enillion cyn llog, treth, dibrisiant ac amorteiddio, ac mae hwnnw'n fesur sylfaenol o'r ffordd y caiff meysydd awyr eu prisio'n fyd-eang. Mae prisiad Maes Awyr Caerdydd yn hynny o beth wedi cynyddu o £7,000 i £77,000, felly mae hwnnw'n amlwg yn gynnydd mawr, ac mae'n adlewyrchu'r twf cryf yn refeniw'r maes awyr, a oedd 34% yn uwch o'i gymharu â'r flwyddyn ariannol flaenorol. Felly, mae hynny dim ond mewn ymateb i rai o'r materion a godwyd ynglŷn â Maes Awyr Caerdydd ar ddechrau'r ddadl. Ond, i atgoffa cyd-Aelodau hefyd, o'r meysydd awyr byd-eang sy'n gwasanaethu teithiau awyr a drefnwyd, dim ond 14 y cant ohonyn nhw sydd ddim mewn perchenogaeth gyhoeddus, felly mae meysydd awyr fel Charles de Gaulle ym Mharis, Schiphol yn Amsterdam, a JFK yn Efrog Newydd i gyd yn eiddo cyhoeddus, ac mewn gwirionedd dylai ein pryder fod ynghylch y wasgfa y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn ei rhoi ar feysydd awyr llai a rhanbarthol. Dim ond ychydig eiliadau sydd gen i ar ôl i fyfyrio ar fater dyfodol ardrethi busnes, y cyfeiriwyd ato gan lefarydd yr wrthblaid hefyd. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymgymryd â chyfres fawr o waith ymchwil i helpu i'n hysbysu am y newidiadau posibl yr hoffem ni eu gwneud i drethi lleol efallai - ardrethi annomestig a'r dreth gyngor, felly - a byddwn yn cyhoeddi cyfres o adroddiadau ymchwil dros yr wythnosau nesaf a fydd yn ein helpu ni ac eraill, gobeithio, i ddechrau llunio eu syniadau i greu gweledigaeth o ran ble y gallai'r trethi hynny fynd yn y dyfodol. Felly, i gloi, bydd gennym ni gyllideb Llywodraeth y DU ar 11 Mawrth, a gallai honno arwain at oblygiadau eithaf mawr i'n cynlluniau gwario ni. Bydd hefyd yn cael ei hategu gan ragolygon economaidd a chyllidol newydd gan y Swyddfa Cyfrifoldeb Cyllidebol, a allai effeithio ar ragolygon y refeniw trethi datganoledig a hefyd yr addasiadau i'r grant bloc cysylltiedig. Gallai Llywodraeth y DU hefyd wneud newidiadau i bolisi treth a allai effeithio ar benderfyniadau ynghylch trethi datganoledig yng Nghymru, felly rwy'n ymrwymo i roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i gyd-Aelodau ac i'r Cynulliad am yr effeithiau hynny cyn gynted â phosibl, ac edrychaf ymlaen yn fawr at ymgysylltu â'r Pwyllgor Cyllid ar y gwaith y mae'n ei wneud pan fydd yn ystyried y broses o bennu cyllideb, ac rwy'n arbennig o awyddus i ddweud ar goedd nawr pa mor awyddus yr wyf i dderbyn eich argymhelliad ynghylch dadl gynnar yn y flwyddyn ariannol, gan fy mod i'n credu bod hynny'n arbennig a ddiddorol a defnyddiol ar ddechrau'r broses hon.
