English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Given the prevailing situation, I shall deliver the opening part of this debate on behalf of my fellow AM. Today's debate is on the subject of housing need and how we can use the levers that we have in the Assembly to address those needs. A variety of different kinds of housing is needed to serve the interests of all the population of Wales. We in UKIP are not attempting today to offer any kind of wholesale solution to the housing problem - it is a complicated challenge that will require a multifaceted solution. Today's debate focuses on one aspect of housing, which is modular housing. Our view is that modular housing does have an important role to play in providing for Wales's present and future housing needs. To be fair, the Welsh Government have recognised that and they have earmarked funds for the provision of this modular housing. So, we have established that this is an area where we can agree with the Welsh Government, to some extent. And today, they haven't, for once, given us an amendment saying, 'Delete all and replace with'. This is what they usually do with UKIP motions. In fact, Ross, our trusty researcher, has a printout on his desk stating, 'Delete all and replace with'. So, today, the Labour Party are not deleting everything we have to say - we are highly amused about that, as you can well imagine. The main body of our specific proposals Labour has taken issue with. Understandably, the Government wants to draw attention to progress that they have themselves made in the field of modular housing. Our specific proposals were for a review of the planning process to remove red tape and make it easier for people who want to build their own home. We also wanted to encourage brownfield development, and we have proposed setting up a housing development corporation to help acquire these sites and use compulsory purchase orders, if necessary, to stimulate actual house building on those sites. Lastly, we want to establish a register of those sites and give priority to smaller-scale developments.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. O ystyried y sefyllfa sydd ohoni, fe gyflwynaf ran agoriadol y ddadl hon ar ran fy nghyd-Aelod Cynulliad. Mae'r ddadl heddiw ar yr angen am dai a sut y gallwn ddefnyddio'r dulliau sydd gennym yn y Cynulliad i ddiwallu'r anghenion hynny. Mae angen amrywiaeth o wahanol fathau o dai i fod o fudd i holl boblogaeth Cymru. Nid ydym ni yn UKIP yn ceisio cynnig unrhyw ateb cyflawn i'r broblem dai - mae'n her gymhleth a fydd yn galw am ateb amlweddog. Mae'r ddadl heddiw yn canolbwyntio ar un agwedd ar dai, sef tai modiwlar. Yn ein barn ni, mae gan dai modiwlar rôl bwysig i'w chwarae yn darparu ar gyfer anghenion tai presennol a dyfodol Cymru. I fod yn deg, mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n cydnabod hynny ac maent wedi clustnodi arian ar gyfer darparu'r tai modiwlar hyn. Felly, rydym wedi sefydlu bod hwn yn faes lle y gallwn gytuno â Llywodraeth Cymru i ryw raddau. A heddiw, am unwaith, nid ydynt wedi rhoi gwelliant inni sy'n dweud, 'Dileu popeth a rhoi yn ei le'. Dyna a wnânt fel arfer gyda chynigion UKIP. Yn wir, mae gan Ross, ein hymchwilydd dibynadwy, allbrint ar ei ddesg yn dweud, 'Dileu popeth a rhoi yn ei le'. Felly, heddiw, nid yw'r Blaid Lafur yn dileu popeth sydd gennym i'w ddweud - mae hynny'n destun cryn ddifyrrwch i ni, fel y gallwch ddychmygu. Mae Llafur wedi anghytuno â phrif gorff ein cynigion penodol. Yn ddealladwy, mae'r Llywodraeth am dynnu sylw at y cynnydd y maent hwy eu hunain wedi ei wneud ym maes tai modiwlar. Roedd ein cynigion penodol yn galw am adolygu'r broses gynllunio i ddileu biwrocratiaeth a'i gwneud yn haws i bobl sy'n dymuno adeiladu eu cartref eu hunain. Roeddem hefyd am annog datblygu safleoedd tir llwyd, ac rydym wedi argymell sefydlu corfforaeth datblygu tai i helpu i gaffael y safleoedd hyn a defnyddio gorchmynion prynu gorfodol, os oes angen, i ysgogi adeiladu tai ar y safleoedd hynny. Yn olaf, rydym am sefydlu cofrestr o safleoedd o'r fath a rhoi blaenoriaeth i ddatblygiadau ar raddfa lai.
