English: I'd agree with Adam Price about regional equality across the UK, and that's why we've been clear in outlining an intervention in Wales that will be based on place-based solutions at a regional level, creating strong regional economies to spread the wealth in a genuine way, which the UK Tories should look at. The Member calls attention to borrowing too much. The Tory Government between 2010 and 2015 had borrowed more than £500 billion, and what did they have to show for it? Well, let's just have a look at what they had to show for it: the bedroom tax - they gave us a bedroom tax, didn't they? And the pasty tax. Remember the pasty tax? They've now messed up taxes for the self-employed. They gave us, in the past, of course, the infamous poll tax. Do you know what they're known as in Clwyd South? Taxastrophe Tories. That's what they are. They're the masters of higher value added tax. They touted the tampon tax. You cannot trust the Tories with taxes or with public money. Deputy Presiding Officer, it's absolutely clear from the calls that we've made on the UK Government that austerity must end. We need a fiscal stimulus to support our public services and to increase investment to much-needed economic activities, especially now as we face an unprecedented challenge that requires an unprecedented response. Investing in infrastructure has been recommended by a broad range of bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the International Monetary Fund. The IMF has repeatedly said that, over the years of Tory Governments, there's been underinvestment in infrastructure, which must be addressed. The advice from the OECD has been for countries to take advantage of low borrowing costs to fund public investment. Infrastructure investment is a priority for this Government, reflecting evidence that, second only to higher skills, good infrastructure is key to economic development. We've sent a clear signal to the market that Wales is open for business, with the commitment of a pipeline of major public-private partnerships. This pipeline includes the completion of the dualling of the A465, the construction of a specialist cancer care facility, and an additional tranche of investment in the next phase of twenty-first century schools. Deputy Presiding Officer, our track record of supporting 150,000 jobs in the last Assembly term, of fighting for a future for the steel industry, of preventing more than 15,000 young people from experiencing unemployment, of securing record inward investment, highlights that this Welsh Government will continue to stand up for Welsh interests.
Welsh: Byddwn yn cytuno ag Adam Price am gydraddoldeb rhanbarthol ar draws y DU, a dyna pam yr ydym wedi bod yn glir wrth amlinellu ymyrraeth yng Nghymru a fydd yn seiliedig ar atebion yn ymwneud â llefydd ar lefel ranbarthol, gan greu economïau rhanbarthol cryf i ledaenu'r cyfoeth mewn modd dilys, rhywbeth y dylai Torïaid y DU edrych arno. Mae'r Aelod yn sôn am fenthyca gormod. Roedd y Llywodraeth Dorïaidd rhwng 2010 a 2015 wedi benthyg mwy na £500 biliwn, a beth oedd ganddynt i'w ddangos amdano? Wel, gadewch i ni edrych ar yr hyn oedd ganddynt i'w ddangos amdano: y dreth ystafell wely - rhoesant dreth ystafell wely i ni, oni wnaethant? A'r dreth ar basteiod. A gofiwch y dreth ar basteiod? Maent bellach wedi gwneud llanast o drethi ar gyfer pobl hunangyflogedig. Rhoesant dreth y pen anfad i ni yn y gorffennol, wrth gwrs. A wyddoch chi beth y mae pobl yn eu galw yn Ne Clwyd? Taxastrophe Tories. Dyna beth ydynt. Maent yn feistri ar dreth ar werth uwch. Hwy a bedlerodd y dreth ar damponau. Ni allwch ymddiried yn y Torïaid gyda threthi nac arian cyhoeddus. Dirprwy Lywydd, mae'n hollol amlwg o'n galwadau ar Lywodraeth y DU fod yn rhaid i galedi ddod i ben. Mae angen ysgogiad ariannol arnom i gefnogi ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ac i gynyddu buddsoddiad ar gyfer gweithgareddau economaidd mawr eu hangen, yn enwedig yn awr gan ein bod yn wynebu her ddigynsail sy'n galw am ymateb digynsail. Argymhellwyd buddsoddi mewn seilwaith gan ystod eang o gyrff, gan gynnwys y Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd a'r Gronfa Ariannol Ryngwladol. Mae'r Gronfa Ariannol Ryngwladol wedi dweud dro ar ôl tro fod tanfuddsoddi wedi bod yn y seilwaith dros flynyddoedd o Lywodraethau Torïaidd, ac mae'n rhaid rhoi sylw i hynny. Y cyngor gan y Sefydliad ar gyfer Cydweithrediad a Datblygiad Economaidd oedd i wledydd fanteisio ar gostau benthyca isel i ariannu buddsoddiad cyhoeddus. Mae buddsoddi yn y seilwaith yn flaenoriaeth i'r Llywodraeth hon, gan adlewyrchu tystiolaeth fod seilwaith da'n allweddol i ddatblygiad economaidd, yn ail yn unig i sgiliau uwch. Rydym wedi anfon neges glir i'r farchnad fod Cymru'n agored i fusnes, gydag ymrwymiad i ffrwd o bartneriaethau cyhoeddus-preifat mawr. Mae'r ffrwd yn cynnwys cwblhau gwaith deuoli ar yr A465, adeiladu cyfleuster gofal canser arbenigol, a chyfran ychwanegol o fuddsoddiad yng nghyfnod nesaf y rhaglen ysgolion ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain. Dirprwy Lywydd, mae ein record o gefnogi 150,000 o swyddi yn ystod tymor diwethaf y Cynulliad, o ymladd am ddyfodol i'r diwydiant dur, o atal mwy na 15,000 o bobl ifanc rhag profi diweithdra, o sicrhau mewnfuddsoddiad mwy nag erioed, yn dangos y bydd y Llywodraeth hon yng Nghymru yn parhau i sefyll dros fuddiannau Cymru.
