English: I thank Alun Davies for those points. I've had the opportunity, Llywydd, since last week, to read his contribution in the short debate last week. I think he put it very succinctly when he described the UK Government's levelling-up approach as a 'lesson in how not to make policy and how not to involve people.' The Welsh Labour Government will go on making those investments. The Minister met on 11 October with the leaders and chief executives of the five local authorities that have a geographical interest in the Heads of the Valleys to talk about strategic investments - how different to the so-called levelling-up fund. We're still to have the results of the first round of these funds, with, now, four months to go of the financial year in which that money will be able to be spent. It will give us £10 million, we think, in Wales, compared to £375 million we would have had had we continued as members of the European Union I sat in this Chamber and heard Members on the benches over there say to people in Wales that there was a cast-iron guarantee that Wales would not be a penny worse off. Ten million pounds is what we have; we would have had £375 million. And that £10 million, Llywydd, is in real danger of being frittered away by decisions that will be piecemeal, decisions that will be - and we know this from their track record - politically driven, rather than responding to people's needs. [ Interruption.] Oh, yes, the fact that Robert Jenrick is no longer a member of the Cabinet in the UK Government doesn't mean that his approach to politics has gone with him. We, as the Welsh Government, in the way that Alun Davies has suggested, try to make our investments in a way that serves the long-term and strategic needs of those local communities, and we will continue to do just that.
Welsh: Diolch i Alun Davies am y pwyntiau yna. Rwyf i wedi cael cyfle, Llywydd, ers yr wythnos diwethaf, i ddarllen ei gyfraniad yn y ddadl fer yr wythnos diwethaf. Rwy'n credu iddo ei esbonio yn gryno iawn pan ddisgrifiodd dull codi'r gwastad Llywodraeth y DU fel gwers 'ar sut i beidio â llunio polisi a sut i beidio â chynnwys pobl.' Bydd Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru yn parhau i wneud y buddsoddiadau hynny. Cafodd y Gweinidog gyfarfod ar 11 Hydref ag arweinwyr a phrif weithredwyr y pum awdurdod lleol sydd â buddiant daearyddol ym Mlaenau'r Cymoedd i siarad am fuddsoddiadau strategol - mor wahanol i'r gronfa codi'r gwastad fel y'i gelwir. Rydym ni'n dal i ddisgwyl canlyniadau rownd gyntaf y cyllid hwn, gyda phedwar mis yn weddill erbyn hyn o'r flwyddyn ariannol y bydd modd gwario'r arian hwnnw ynddi. Bydd yn rhoi £10 miliwn i ni, rydym ni'n credu, yng Nghymru, o'i gymharu â £375 miliwn y byddem ni wedi ei gael pe baem ni wedi parhau i fod aelodau o'r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Eisteddais yn y Siambr hon a chlywais yr Aelodau ar y meinciau acw yn dweud wrth bobl yng Nghymru fod sicrwydd cwbl bendant na fyddai Cymru geiniog yn waeth ei byd. Deg miliwn o bunnoedd yw'r hyn sydd gennym ni; byddem ni wedi cael £375 miliwn. Ac mae'r £10 miliwn hwnnw, Llywydd, mewn perygl gwirioneddol o gael ei wastraffu yn sgil penderfyniadau a fydd yn dameidiog, penderfyniadau a fydd - ac rydym ni'n gwybod hyn o'u hanes blaenorol - wedi eu hysgogi yn wleidyddol, yn hytrach nag ymateb i anghenion y bobl. [ Torri ar draws.] O, ie, nid yw'r ffaith nad yw Robert Jenrick yn aelod o'r Cabinet yn Llywodraeth y DU mwyach yn golygu bod ei agwedd at wleidyddiaeth wedi mynd gydag ef. Rydym ni, fel Llywodraeth Cymru, yn y ffordd y mae Alun Davies wedi ei awgrymu, yn ceisio gwneud ein buddsoddiadau mewn ffordd sy'n diwallu anghenion hirdymor a strategol y cymunedau lleol hynny, a byddwn yn parhau i wneud yn union hynny.
