English: Can I thank the Member for his question and suggest that, in order to really show his support for TVR, he puts an order in today for the new Chimaera? The last set of accounts do indeed state that, but it's incorrect to assume that the loan is non-repayable. We were not responsible for submitting those notes, but the quote 'no intention of demanding repayment', as I said to Russell George, relates to the clause that we had built into the support that would have enabled us to demand immediate repayment should the company decide not to bring the manufacturing of the Chimaera to Wales. That's clearly not the case, because of the investment already made in the works and the negotiations under way to acquire the small factory and, indeed, the work that's under way by our officials in making the full facility ready for the commencement of production. Therefore, the loan will be repaid in full. In terms of equity, of course, our equity was significant. However, the company has been successful in drawing the required equity to get this motor vehicle into production. In addition to the scrutiny of the business plan that KPMG carried out prior to the March 2016 decision, I'm pleased to say that Deloitte have been operating on our behalf more recently and they have given us confidence in the company's ability to take the project forward, to take the car forward and to deliver, not just for the investors, but also for the customers.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelod am ei gwestiwn ac awgrymu, er mwyn dangos ei gefnogaeth i TVR yn glir, ei fod yn archebu Chimaera newydd heddiw? Mae'n wir fod y set ddiwethaf o gyfrifon yn datgan hynny, ond mae'n anghywir rhagdybio nad yw'r benthyciad yn ad-daladwy. Nid oeddem yn gyfrifol am gyflwyno'r nodiadau hynny, ond mae'r dyfyniad ynglŷn â diffyg 'unrhyw fwriad i fynnu bod y benthyciad yn cael ei ad-dalu', fel y dywedais wrth Russell George, yn ymwneud â'r cymal roeddem wedi'i gynnwys yn y gefnogaeth a fyddai wedi ein galluogi i fynnu bod y benthyciad yn cael ei ad-dalu ar unwaith pe bai'r cwmni yn penderfynu peidio â dod â gwaith gweithgynhyrchu'r Chimaera i Gymru. Yn amlwg, nid yw hynny'n wir, oherwydd y buddsoddiad a wnaed eisoes yn y gweithfeydd a'r trafodaethau sy'n mynd rhagddynt i gaffael y ffatri fechan, ac yn wir, y gwaith y mae ein swyddogion yn ei wneud i sicrhau bod y cyfleuster llawn yn barod ar gyfer dechrau'r broses gynhyrchu. Felly, bydd y benthyciad yn cael ei ad-dalu'n llawn. O ran ecwiti, wrth gwrs, roedd ein hecwiti yn sylweddol. Fodd bynnag, mae'r cwmni wedi llwyddo i ddenu'r ecwiti gofynnol i gynhyrchu'r cerbyd hwn. Yn ychwanegol at y gwaith craffu a wnaed gan KPMG ar y cynllun busnes cyn y penderfyniad ym mis Mawrth 2016, rwy'n falch o ddweud bod Deloitte wedi bod yn gweithredu ar ein rhan fwy yn ddiweddar a'u bod wedi rhoi hyder inni yng ngallu'r cwmni i fwrw ymlaen â'r prosiect, i fwrw ymlaen â'r car ac i gyflawni, nid yn unig ar gyfer y buddsoddwyr, ond hefyd ar gyfer y cwsmeriaid.
English: Item 4 on our agenda this afternoon is 90-second statements, and the first one this afternoon is by Dawn Bowden.
Welsh: Eitem 4 ar ein hagenda y prynhawn yma yw'r datganiadau 90 eiliad, a daw'r cyntaf y prynhawn yma gan Dawn Bowden.
English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. The fine Gothic former synagogue in Merthyr Tydfil had served the Jewish community there since the 1870s. The Jewish community at Merthyr reached its peak in the 1930s, but having now largely disappeared from the town, there are still signs of their presence, including the Jewish cemetery in Cefn Coed. In 1955, there was held, and I quote, 'an impressive service in which the Chief Rabbi re-consecrated the 80 year old Synagogue In his addressthe Chief Rabbi referred to the persecution which made Jews leave the lands of their birth and how they had found', to quote, 'freedom of worship in Merthyr.' It's therefore sad to note, which you'll see from the picture, the current condition of the former synagogue. The UK-based Foundation for Jewish Heritage recently mapped all the historic synagogues right across Europe, which they categorised according to their significance and condition. The Merthyr Tydfil synagogue is one of only two in the UK highlighted by this work and shown to be in the most danger. Thankfully, the foundation has already found the funds to undertake a preliminary study of the building that could lead to its restoration. The synagogue is an important part of our collective history, not just for Merthyr Tydfil and for Wales, but beyond that as well. So, I wish the foundation well in their work; it deserves to succeed and for this important building to be saved.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Roedd yr hen synagog Gothig wych ym Merthyr Tudful wedi gwasanaethu'r gymuned Iddewig yno ers y 1870au. Roedd y gymuned Iddewig ym Merthyr Tudful ar ei mwyaf yn y 1930au, ond er eu bod bellach wedi diflannu o'r dref i raddau helaeth, mae arwyddion o'u presenoldeb yn dal i fodoli, gan gynnwys y fynwent Iddewig yng Nghefncoedycymer. Ym 1955, cynhaliwyd, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, gwasanaeth gwefreiddiol lle ailgysegrwyd y Synagog 80 oed gan y Prif Rabi Yn ei anerchiad cyfeiriodd y Prif Rabi at yr erledigaeth a barodd i'r Iddewon adael eu tiroedd genedigol a'r modd roeddent wedi dod o hyd, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, 'i ryddid i addoli ym Merthyr Tudful.' Felly, mae'n drist nodi cyflwr cyfredol yr hen synagog, fel y gwelwch yn y llun. Yn ddiweddar, mapiodd y Sefydliad Treftadaeth Iddewig, sefydliad a leolwyd yn y DU, yr holl synagogau hanesyddol ledled Ewrop, a'u categoreiddio yn ôl eu harwyddocâd a'u cyflwr. Mae synagog Merthyr Tudful yn un o ddwy yn unig yn y DU a gafodd sylw yn y gwaith hwn fel y rhai sy'n wynebu'r bygythiad mwyaf. Diolch byth, mae'r sefydliad eisoes wedi codi arian i gynnal astudiaeth ragarweiniol o'r adeilad, a allai arwain at ei adfer. Mae'r synagog yn rhan bwysig o'n hanes cyfunol, nid yn unig i Ferthyr Tudful ac i Gymru, ond y tu hwnt i hynny hefyd. Felly, hoffwn ddymuno'n dda i'r sefydliad gyda'u gwaith; maent yn haeddu llwyddo ac mae'r adeilad pwysig hwn yn haeddu cael ei achub.
English: In 1994, 10 years after the miners' strike, the UK Government turned their attention to the last deep pit in south Wales. The target of their economic vandalism was Tower Colliery. Tower in Hirwaun was profitable - it had been commended by John Redwood, of all people, for its productivity. But Westminster still decided to strike its final blow against the once-mighty miners. The NUM Tower workforce and local community rose to the challenge. Cynon Valley MP Ann Clwyd joined the miners in a sit-in deep underground to highlight the valiant campaign. The response from the UK Government and the NCB was further betrayal and backsliding. The miners had no choice but to vote for closure. But their story did not end there. Led by branch secretary Tyrone O'Sullivan, 239 miners each contributed £8,000 of their redundancy to buy the mine. It was resurrected as a workers' co-operative; the first mine in the world to be owned by its workforce. January 2018 marks 23 years since Tower reopened - a brave and bold new chapter in its history. Tower is now closed, but there are exciting plans for the future of the site; plans that will ensure Tower and its story of struggle live on. To paraphrase from the narrative boldly owned by the miners of Tower: they were ordinary men, they want their jobs, they bought a pit.
Welsh: Ym 1994, 10 mlynedd ar ôl streic y glowyr, trodd Llywodraeth y DU eu sylw at y pwll dwfn olaf yn ne Cymru. Targed eu fandaliaeth economaidd oedd Pwll Glo'r Tower. Roedd Pwll Glo'r Tower yn Hirwaun yn broffidiol - cafodd ei ganmol gan John Redwood, o bawb, am ei gynhyrchiant. Fodd bynnag, penderfynodd Llywodraeth San Steffan daro ei hergyd derfynol yn erbyn y glowyr a fu unwaith mor gryf. Derbyniodd Undeb Cenedlaethol y Glowyr, gweithlu Pwll Glo'r Tower a'r gymuned yr her. Ymunodd AS Cwm Cynon, Ann Clwyd, â'r glowyr mewn protest o dan y ddaear i dynnu sylw at yr ymgyrch lew. Ymateb Llywodraeth y DU a'r Bwrdd Glo Cenedlaethol oedd mwy o fradychu a thorri eu gair. Nid oedd unrhyw ddewis gan y glowyr ond pleidleisio dros gau'r pwll. Ond nid dyna ddiwedd eu stori. O dan arweiniad ysgrifennydd y gangen, Tyrone O'Sullivan, cyfrannodd 239 o lowyr £8,000 o'u tâl diswyddo i brynu'r pwll glo. Cafodd ei atgyfodi fel cwmni cydweithredol y gweithwyr; y pwll glo cyntaf yn y byd i fod yn eiddo i'w weithlu. Mae mis Ionawr 2018 yn nodi 23 mlynedd ers i'r Tower ailagor - pennod newydd feiddgar a dewr yn ei hanes. Mae'r Tower wedi cau bellach, ond mae cynlluniau cyffrous ar gyfer dyfodol y safle; cynlluniau a fydd yn sicrhau bod y Tower a'i hanes o frwydro yn parhau'n fyw. I aralleirio'r naratif a berchnogwyd mor rymus gan lowyr y Tower: dynion cyffredin oeddent, roeddent eisiau eu gwaith, fe brynon nhw bwll glo.
English: Last year, Llŷn Coastal Bus ran two buses regularly between Llanbedrog, Abersoch, Porth Neigwl, Aberdaron, Porthor and Nefyn between May and the autumn. It's supported by a community transport group, providing a door-to-door service. Llŷn Coastal Bus follows a route that complements the public transport service, allowing people to walk the coastal path, leaving their cars. It opens the door to an area of outstanding natural beauty and an area where the Welsh language is the language of daily conversation. The bus is also used regularly by local people. A group of friends went from Abersoch to Aberdaron and visited Porth y Swnt and had a meal before going home. The bus is used by young and old, by mothers and their children during the summer holidays. It's of assistance in tackling health problems by encouraging people to keep fit by walking, and also tackles loneliness by providing transport to various events and heritage attractions. I had an opportunity prior to Christmas to meet a number of people who were involved with the success of the scheme in Nefyn and heard from businesses and local individuals how the Llŷn Coastal Bus brought environmental, social and economic benefits to the Llŷn peninsula. I'd like to thank the drivers, the volunteers, and all those who maintain this service, and in the face of uncertainty in terms of funding for this year, I would encourage the Government to support this important link in all ways possible.
Welsh: Yn ystod y llynedd, bu Bws Arfordir Llŷn yn rhedeg dau fws yn rheolaidd rhwng Llanbedrog, Abersoch, Porth Neigwl, Aberdaron, Porthor a Nefyn rhwng Mai a'r hydref. Mae'n cael ei gynnal gan grŵp trafnidiaeth gymunedol o ddrws i ddrws. Mae Bws Arfordir Llŷn yn dilyn llwybr sy'n ategu'r gwasanaeth trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, gan alluogi pobl i gerdded llwybr yr arfordir gan adael eu ceir. Mae'r bws yn agor y drws i ardal o harddwch eithriadol ac ardal lle mae'r Gymraeg yn iaith bob dydd. Mae'r bws hefyd yn cael ei ddefnyddio'n rheolaidd gan bobl leol. Aeth criw o ffrindiau o Abersoch am ddiwrnod i Aberdaron, ymweld â Phorth y Swnt a chael pryd cyn mynd adref. Defnyddir y bws gan bobl hen ac ifanc, gan famau a'u plant yn ystod gwyliau'r haf. Mae o gymorth i daclo problemau iechyd drwy annog cadw'n heini drwy gerdded, yn ogystal â thaclo unigedd drwy gynnig trafnidiaeth i wahanol ddigwyddiadau ac atyniadau treftadaeth. Cefais gyfle cyn y Nadolig i gwrdd â nifer o bobl ynghlwm â llwyddiant y cynllun yn Nefyn a chlywed gan fusnesau ac unigolion lleol sut y bu Bws Arfordir Llŷn yn dod â budd amgylcheddol, cymdeithasol ac economaidd i benrhyn Llŷn. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r gyrwyr, i'r gwirfoddolwyr, a phawb fu'n cynnal y gwasanaeth hwn, ac yn wyneb ansicrwydd cyllid ar gyfer y flwyddyn hon, hoffwn annog y Llywodraeth i gefnogi'r cyswllt pwysig hwn ym mhob ffordd bosib.
English: The next item is the motion to elect a Member to a committee, and I call on a Member of the Business Committee to move the motion formally. Paul Davies.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r cynnig i ethol Aelod i bwyllgor, ac rydw i'n galw ar Aelod o'r Pwyllgor Busnes i wneud y cynnig yn ffurfiol. Paul Davies.
English: The next item, therefore, is the debate on a Member's legislative proposal, and I call on Steffan Lewis to move the motion.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf, felly, yw'r ddadl ar gynnig deddfwriaethol gan Aelod, a galwaf ar Steffan Lewis i wneud y cynnig.
English: Although the UK Government's European Union (Withdrawal) Bill doesn't actually take back existing competencies from the Assembly, there is no end date for the restriction on devolved competency created by the retained EU law model it would introduce. We, Welsh Conservatives, instead believe that any common framework in any area must be agreed and not imposed by the UK Government, and further we will support this motion on the basis that it notes only a proposal for a Welsh continuation Bill. However, we do welcome last week's statement by the Secretary of State for Scotland, confirming that amendments to clause 11 of the Bill will be brought forward in the House of Lords, and adding, 'I regret that it has not been possible to bring forward amendments at the report stage but our commitment to improve the bill remains absolute.' We, here, received assurance that the language used by David Mundell last week still stands.
Welsh: Er nad yw Bil yr Undeb Ewropeaidd (Ymadael) Llywodraeth y DU yn tynnu cymwyseddau presennol yn ôl oddi wrth y Cynulliad mewn gwirionedd, nid oes dyddiad terfyn ar gyfer y cyfyngiad ar gymhwysedd datganoledig a grëid gan y model cyfraith yr UE a ddargedwir y byddai'n ei gyflwyno. Yn hytrach, rydym ni, y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, yn credu bod yn rhaid i unrhyw fframwaith cyffredin mewn unrhyw faes gael ei gytuno, ac nid ei orfodi gan Llywodraeth y DU, ac yn ychwanegol at hynny, byddwn yn cefnogi'r cynnig hwn ar y sail ei fod yn nodi cynnig ar gyfer Bil parhad i Gymru yn unig. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn croesawu datganiad Ysgrifennydd Gwladol yr Alban yr wythnos diwethaf, yn cadarnhau y bydd gwelliannau i gymal 11 y Bil yn cael eu cyflwyno yn Nhŷ'r Arglwyddi, gan ychwanegu, Yn anffodus, ni fu'n bosibl cyflwyno gwelliannau yn ystod y cyfnod adrodd, ond rydym yn parhau i fod yn gwbl ymrwymedig i wella'r bil. Cawsom sicrwydd yma fod yr ieithwedd a ddefnyddiwyd gan David Mundell yr wythnos diwethaf yn dal i sefyll.
English: As the - . Yes, indeed.
Welsh: Fel - . Gwnaf, yn sicr.
English: I thank the Member for giving way. Do you agree that it's disappointing that they've had the Welsh Government's and Scottish Government's amendments since Novermber, they've had our committee's amendments since November - they've had plenty of time to actually look at these and produce their own amendments by the Report Stage, which was actually yesterday and today?
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am ildio. A ydych yn cytuno ei bod yn siomedig eu bod wedi cael gwelliannau Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth yr Alban ers mis Tachwedd, eu bod wedi cael gwelliannau ein pwyllgor ers mis Tachwedd - maent wedi cael hen ddigon o amser i edrych arnynt a chynhyrchu eu gwelliannau eu hunain erbyn y Cyfnod Adrodd, sef ddoe a heddiw?
English: I'm coming to that. I share the disappointment expressed by David Lidington, which I'm going to come to. As the Scottish Conservatives' constitutional spokesperson said last weekend, 'clause 11 of the bill needs to be amended to restore the spirit of the Scotland Act.' And obviously, by association, legislation applying here. He said: 'There is a fundamental principle on which Scottish devolution rests and has rested since its creation 20 years ago which is that everything is devolved unless it is expressly reserved.' He said, 'that is the principle that clause 11 needs to be amended to comply with and that is our position too It is relatively easily done. This does not have to be difficult.' May I say that that is also the Welsh Conservatives' position here?
Welsh: Rwy'n dod at hynny. Rwy'n rhannu'r siom a fynegwyd gan David Lidington, a byddaf yn dod at hynny. Fel y dywedodd llefarydd cyfansoddiadol Ceidwadwyr yr Alban y penwythnos diwethaf, mae angen diwygio cymal 11 y Bil er mwyn adfer ysbryd Deddf yr Alban. Ac yn amlwg, drwy gysylltiad, y ddeddfwriaeth sy'n gymwys yma. Dywedodd: Ceir egwyddor sylfaenol yn sail i ddatganoli yn yr Alban, ac mae wedi bod yn sail iddo ers ei sefydlu 20 mlynedd yn ôl, sef bod popeth yn cael ei ddatganoli oni chaiff ei gadw'n ôl yn benodol. Dywedodd, dyna'r egwyddor y mae angen diwygio cymal 11 i gydymffurfio â hi a dyna yw'n safbwynt ninnau hefyd Mae'n gymharol hawdd gwneud hynny. Nid oes yn rhaid i hyn fod yn anodd. A gaf fi ddweud mai dyna yw safbwynt y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig yma hefyd?
English: We also supported the - .
Welsh: Hefyd, fe gefnogom ni'r - .
English: Thank you for taking the intervention. Just very briefly, much along the lines of a libertarian argument on public surveillance - if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear - is it not the case also that, if there's nothing to fear from the undermining of the integrity of devolution from what the UK Government are seeking to do, why not just have a belt-and-braces approach and introduce a continuity Bill as well?
Welsh: Diolch am dderbyn yr ymyriad. Yn gryno iawn, yn debyg i ddadl libertaraidd ar wyliadwriaeth gyhoeddus - os nad oes gennych unrhyw beth i'w guddio, nid oes gennych unrhyw beth i'w ofni - onid yw'n wir hefyd, os nad oes unrhyw beth i'w ofni o ran tanseilio uniondeb datganoli o ganlyniad i'r hyn y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn ceisio ei wneud, pam na ddylid cael sicrwydd dwbl a chyflwyno Bil parhad hefyd?
English: I've said that we are going to support this motion - I hope that that should provide you with some reassurance - but on the basis that we note. We also supported the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee's European Union (Withdrawal) Bill interim report on the legislative consent motion, including its objective 1, to remove the clause 11 restriction on the devolution settlement. And, although, despite all the work that continues on the withdrawal Bill and frameworks, the UK Government is not yet in a position to table amendments to clause 11, it's understood that the new man at the Cabinet Office, David Lidington, spoke with the First Minister on 9 January and the next day expressed disappointment that agreement had not yet been reached on amendments to devolution aspects of the withdrawal Bill. He also said that he's committed to work to reach agreement with Welsh and Scottish Ministers and that this work will intensify. The Prime Minister also repeated that commitment at Prime Minister's questions in Westminster. It would therefore be helpful if the Cabinet Secretary could update us on the further discussions that he or the First Minister have had regarding this with both the Cabinet Office and the Welsh Office. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi dweud ein bod am gefnogi'r cynnig hwn - gobeithiaf y gall hynny roi peth sicrwydd i chi - ond ar y sail a nodwn. Rydym hefyd wedi cefnogi adroddiad dros dro y Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth Ychwanegol ar Fil yr Undeb Ewropeaidd (Ymadael) ar y cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol, gan gynnwys ei amcan 1, sef cael gwared ar gyfyngiad cymal 11 ar y setliad datganoli. Ac er gwaethaf yr holl waith sy'n mynd rhagddo ar y Bil ymadael a'r fframweithiau, nid yw Llywodraeth y DU mewn sefyllfa eto i gyflwyno gwelliannau i gymal 11, deellir bod y dyn newydd yn Swyddfa'r Cabinet, David Lidington, wedi siarad gyda'r Prif Weinidog ar 9 Ionawr ac wedi mynegi siom y diwrnod canlynol nad oedd cytundeb wedi ei gyrraedd eto mewn perthynas â gwelliannau i elfennau datganoli y Bil ymadael. Dywedodd hefyd ei fod wedi ymrwymo i weithio er mwyn dod i gytundeb gyda Gweinidogion Cymru a Gweinidogion yr Alban ac y bydd y gwaith hwn yn dwysáu. Ailadroddwyd yr ymrwymiad hwnnw gan Brif Weinidog y DU hefyd yn ystod cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog yn San Steffan. Byddai'n ddefnyddiol felly pe gallai Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf inni ynglŷn â'r trafodaethau pellach y mae ef neu'r Prif Weinidog wedi'u cael ynglŷn â'r mater hwn gyda Swyddfa'r Cabinet a Swyddfa Cymru. Diolch.
English: I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Finance to respond to the debate - Mark Drakeford.
Welsh: Galwaf ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid i ymateb i'r ddadl - Mark Drakeford.
English: Thank you very much, Llywydd. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the debate. I'd like to start by saying on a personal level, as Jane Hutt said, how pleasing it is to see Steffan Lewis once more leading a debate on Brexit here in the Assembly. Members of the Government will support the motion, which notes the position that has been reached at the moment on the continuity Bill.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Llywydd. Diolch am y cyfle i ymateb i'r ddadl. Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddweud yn bersonol, fel y dywedodd Jane Hutt, pa mor braf yw hi i weld Steffan Lewis unwaith eto yn arwain dadl ar Brexit yma yn y Cynulliad. Bydd aelodau'r Llywodraeth yn cefnogi'r cynnig, sy'n nodi'r safle sydd wedi'i gyrraedd ar hyn o bryd ar y Bil parhad.
English: Would there be anything to be lost, in his view, in publishing that Bill in a draft form?
Welsh: A fyddai unrhyw beth i'w golli, yn ei farn ef, o gyhoeddi'r Bil hwnnw ar ffurf drafft?
English: I call on Steffan Lewis to respond to the debate.
Welsh: Galwaf ar Steffan Lewis i ymateb i'r ddadl.
English: The proposal is to note the motion. Does any Member object? The motion is therefore agreed.
Welsh: Y cwestiwn yw: a ddylid nodi'r cynnig? A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? Felly, derbynnir y cynnig.
English: The next item is the Member debate under Standing Order 11.21, and I call on Mark Isherwood to move the motion.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r ddadl Aelodau o dan Reol Sefydlog 11.21, ac rwy'n galw ar Mark Isherwood i wneud y cynnig. Mark Isherwood.
English: I'd like to thank Mark, Leanne, Mike and Rhun for bringing forward this debate today. Cannabis has many medicinal benefits. It can be used to control pain, treat spasticity, help with the side effects of chemotherapy, and new studies show it can help control epileptic seizures in children. We are only just beginning, though, to understand the possible benefits that cannabis can deliver, and I welcome wider research into its use for medicinal purposes. I cannot, however, support the reclassification of cannabis, in the same way I would not support the reclassification of opium or heroin, which may also have medicinal purposes. Unfortunately, smoking cannabis has many harms associated with it. The British Lung Foundation identified cannabis smoke as a carcinogen and also found that awareness of the danger was very low, with 40 per cent of under-35s thinking that cannabis, when smoked, was not harmful. Studies have found that THC, the principal psychoactive substance within the cannabis plant, can cause cognitive defects, particularly if taken long term -
Welsh: Hoffwn ddiolch i Mark, Leanne, Mike a Rhun am gyflwyno'r ddadl hon heddiw. Mae llawer o fanteision meddyginiaethol i ganabis. Gellir ei ddefnyddio i reoli poen, trin sbastigedd, helpu gyda sgil-effeithiau cemotherapi, a dengys astudiaethau newydd y gall helpu i reoli ffitiau epileptig mewn plant. Fodd bynnag, nid ydym ond megis dechrau deall y manteision posibl y gall canabis eu darparu, ac rwy'n croesawu'r ymchwil ehangach i'w ddefnydd at ddibenion meddyginiaethol. Eto i gyd, ni allaf gefnogi ailddosbarthu canabis, yn union fel na fuaswn yn cefnogi ailddosbarthu opiwm neu heroin, er y gallai fod iddynt ddiben meddyginiaethol hefyd. Yn anffodus, mae nifer o ffyrdd y gall ysmygu canabis beri niwed. Nododd Sefydliad Prydeinig yr Ysgyfaint fod mwg canabis yn garsinogen a gwelodd hefyd fod ymwybyddiaeth o'r perygl yn isel iawn, gyda 40 y cant o rai dan 35 oed yn meddwl nad oedd canabis yn niweidiol wrth ei ysmygu. Mae astudiaethau wedi canfod bod THC, y prif sylwedd seicoweithredol yn y planhigyn canabis, yn gallu achosi nam gwybyddol, yn enwedig o'i gymryd dros gyfnod hir -
English: Will you take an intervention on this, please?
Welsh: A wnewch chi dderbyn ymyriad ar hyn os gwelwch yn dda?
English: Yes, certainly.
Welsh: Iawn, wrth gwrs.
