English: Can I thank the Member for his question and I recognise the deep concern that he has for not just his own constituents, but the constituents living in neighbouring parts of south Wales? I also know his commitment to the Ford Bridgend plant and the workforce there is unwavering. Now, in terms of new technology, there is dynamic change taking place within the automotive sector at the moment and the Member identifies the fact that the Jaguar AJ engine will be ceasing production later this decade. Jaguar are not the only manufacturer looking to produce new engines and new types of engines. For that reason, it's essential that Ford work with other motor manufacturers across Europe and around the world to identify opportunities to develop new engines together, and to bring them to Bridgend. Bridgend has had a history of being the most competitive and productive plant in Europe. We wish to see that status reinstated and I was told by the vice president of Ford today that the workforce - the plant - is on the right journey towards becoming the most competitive again and the most productive again in Europe. That enabled me to argue strongly for the case that further investment is therefore surely - surely - something that should be welcomed and should be driven to the Bridgend plant, because, as new forms of engines are required, Ford in Bridgend have a proven track record of delivering the highest quality in a timely fashion. The Member is absolutely right that these are challenging times - there's no doubt about it - but we do have a First Minister who has a proven track record of securing jobs that are at risk. We only need to look at the Tata crisis as an example of how he has been able to deliver on his promise of securing quality jobs for people here in Wales. Indeed, as I've already said, he's done it again this week with GE. My intention is to meet with Len McCluskey later this afternoon. I've already spoken with Andy Richards, the general secretary of Unite Wales. I've also spoken with local Assembly Members today. I've spoken with the First Minister and with Ford's vice president this morning. It's my intention to bring together all partners to reinstate a team Ford ethic at Bridgend, one that will lead to further investment and new products being brought to what is an outstanding plant.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn, a chydnabod ei bryder gwirioneddol nid yn unig am ei etholwyr ei hun, ond yr etholwyr sy'n byw mewn ardaloedd cyfagos yn ne Cymru hefyd? Gwn hefyd fod ei ymrwymiad i ffatri Ford Pen-y-bont a'i gweithlu yn ddiwyro. Nawr, o ran technoleg newydd, mae newid dynamig yn digwydd yn y sector modurol ar hyn o bryd, a noda'r Aelod y ffaith y bydd Jaguar yn rhoi'r gorau i gynhyrchu'r injan AJ yn ddiweddarach yn ystod y degawd hwn. Nid Jaguar yw'r unig weithgynhyrchwr sy'n ystyried cynhyrchu injans newydd a mathau newydd o injans. Oherwydd hynny, mae'n hanfodol fod Ford yn gweithio gyda gweithgynhyrchwyr modurol eraill yn Ewrop a ledled y byd i nodi cyfleoedd i ddatblygu injans newydd gyda'i gilydd, ac i ddod â hwy i Ben-y-bont. Roedd gan Ben-y-bont hanes am fod y ffatri fwyaf cystadleuol a chynhyrchiol yn Ewrop. Rydym am weld y statws hwnnw'n dychwelyd a dywedodd is-lywydd Ford wrthyf heddiw fod y gweithlu - y ffatri - ar y llwybr iawn tuag at ddod yn ffatri fwyaf cystadleuol a mwyaf cynhyrchiol yn Ewrop unwaith eto. Fe'm galluogwyd gan hynny i ddadlau'n gryf fod buddsoddiad pellach yn sicr yn rhywbeth y dylid ei groesawu ac y dylid ei gyfeirio tuag at y ffatri ym Mhen-y-bont, oherwydd gyda'r galw am fathau newydd o injans, mae gan Ford ym Mhen-y-bont hanes profedig o ddarparu'r safon uchaf mewn modd amserol. Mae'r Aelod yn iawn i ddweud ein bod mewn cyfnod heriol - nid oes unrhyw amheuaeth am hynny - ond mae gennym Brif Weinidog sydd â hanes profedig o ddiogelu swyddi sydd mewn perygl. Nid oes ond angen inni edrych ar argyfwng Tata fel enghraifft o'r modd y mae wedi gallu cyflawni ei addewid i sicrhau swyddi o ansawdd i bobl yma yng Nghymru. Yn wir, fel y dywedais eisoes, mae wedi gwneud hynny eto yr wythnos hon gyda GE. Rwy'n bwriadu cyfarfod â Len McCluskey yn ddiweddarach y prynhawn yma. Rwyf eisoes wedi siarad ag Andy Richards, ysgrifennydd cyffredinol Unite Cymru. Rwyf hefyd wedi siarad ag Aelodau Cynulliad lleol heddiw. Rwyf wedi siarad â'r Prif Weinidog ac is-lywydd Ford y bore yma. Rwy'n bwriadu dod â'r holl bartneriaid at ei gilydd er mwyn adfer etheg gwaith tîm Ford ym Mhen-y-bont, etheg a fydd yn arwain at ddod â rhagor o fuddsoddiad a chynhyrchion newydd i ffatri ragorol.
