English: Diolch. Russell George began by noting that Welsh Government policies over 20 years have failed to address economic inequalities between regions in Wales, welcoming the Cardiff city region deal, Swansea bay city region deal, north Wales growth deal, and possibilities for a mid Wales growth deal, and called on the Welsh Government to promote a regional development policy post Brexit that not only incorporates the mid Wales proposal, but also supports deprived communities across Wales wherever they may be. He noted the gross per capita gap between particularly north-west Wales and south-east Wales. He noted that GVA per capita on Anglesey was almost half that in Cardiff, and Anglesey, sadly, still remains the poorest area within Wales per head in terms of value of goods and services produced. He talked about very poor growth rates in the least well-off parts of Wales by comparison with growth in some of the least well-off parts of England, and he talked about exposing the need for an effective economic strategy to address this. Rhun ap Iorwerth began with a strange defence of Welsh Government performance, despite the comments made earlier about Anglesey having a per capita wealth of only half that in Cardiff. He talked about inequality. He talked about the need to bring prosperity to all parts of the Welsh nation. Mohammad Asghar noted that the Welsh economy had underperformed for the last 20 years, that it remained the poorest economy in the UK and failed to address the regional inequality within Wales, and that Welsh Government economic plans had vibrant titles, which had been belied by a failure to deliver. He talked about lower income levels and higher poverty levels in Wales than the rest of the UK. Mike Hedges said the gap in the Welsh economy had not been filled, that there was underperformance in sectors paying higher wages, and that if we keep on doing the same thing, we will keep on getting the same results. Well, instead of forming your own party, I think you could come and join us, because that's exactly what we think too. [ Laughter. ] Mike.
Welsh: Diolch. Dechreuodd Russell George drwy nodi bod polisïau Llywodraeth Cymru dros 20 mlynedd wedi methu mynd i'r afael ag anghydraddoldebau economaidd rhwng y rhanbarthau yng Nghymru, a chroesawodd fargen prifddinas-ranbarth Caerdydd, bargen dinas-ranbarth bae Abertawe, bargen twf gogledd Cymru, a'r posibiliadau ar gyfer bargen twf canolbarth Cymru. Galwodd ar Lywodraeth Cymru i hyrwyddo polisi datblygu rhanbarthol ar ôl Brexit sydd nid yn unig yn ymgorffori cynnig canolbarth Cymru, ond sydd hefyd yn cefnogi cymunedau difreintiedig ledled Cymru lle bynnag y maent. Nododd y bwlch gros y pen rhwng gogledd-orllewin Cymru a de-ddwyrain Cymru yn enwedig. Nododd fod gwerth ychwanegol gros y pen ar Ynys Môn bron yn hanner gwerth ychwanegol gros y pen yng Nghaerdydd, ac yn anffodus, Ynys Môn yw'r ardal dlotaf y pen yng Nghymru o hyd o ran gwerth y nwyddau a'r gwasanaethau a gynhyrchir. Soniodd am gyfraddau twf gwael iawn yn y rhannau lleiaf cefnog o Gymru o'i gymharu â thwf yn rhai o'r rhannau lleiaf cefnog o Loegr, a soniodd am amlygu'r angen am strategaeth economaidd effeithiol i fynd i'r afael â hyn. Dechreuodd Rhun ap Iorwerth gydag amddiffyniad rhyfedd o berfformiad Llywodraeth Cymru, er gwaethaf y sylwadau a wnaethpwyd yn gynharach ynglŷn â bod cyfoeth y pen ar Ynys Môn ond yn hanner yr hyn a geir yng Nghaerdydd. Soniodd am anghydraddoldeb. Soniodd am yr angen i ddod â ffyniant i bob rhan o'r genedl Gymreig. Nododd Mohammad Asghar fod economi Cymru wedi tangyflawni dros yr 20 mlynedd diwethaf, mai hi yw'r economi dlotaf yn y DU o hyd a'i bod wedi methu mynd i'r afael ag anghydraddoldeb rhanbarthol yng Nghymru, a bod teitlau gwefreiddiol cynlluniau economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwrth-ddweud y methiant i gyflawni. Soniodd am lefelau incwm is a lefelau tlodi uwch yng Nghymru nag yng ngweddill y DU. Dywedodd Mike Hedges nad oedd y bwlch yn economi Cymru wedi ei lenwi, fod tangyflawniad i'w weld mewn sectorau sy'n talu cyflogau uwch, ac os ydym yn mynd i ddal ati i wneud yr un peth, fe fyddwn yn parhau i gael yr un canlyniadau. Wel, yn hytrach na ffurfio eich plaid eich hun, rwy'n credu y gallech ymuno â ni, oherwydd dyna'n union yw ein barn ninnau hefyd. [ Chwerthin. ] Mike.
