English: Thank you, First Minister, for your statement this afternoon but you won't be surprised that I remain disappointed with the stance from the Welsh Labour Government on this issue. Your predecessor confirmed in a statement he made on 20 November last year that relatively little needed to change for the Welsh Government to support the UK Government's current deal with the EU. So, your view seemed very removed from that particular position in such a short space of time. Can you therefore tell us what has changed in that time? Now, I note you accuse the UK Government of putting the interests of the Conservative Party before the interests of the UK. Nothing could be further from the truth, given - [ Interruption. ] Llywydd, I can hear other Members from other political parties shouting. I gave them the courtesy of listening to the First Minister and I'd expect the same courtesy back. Now, nothing could be further from the truth, given that the Prime Minister has made it absolutely clear that the deal negotiated by her Government is in the interests of the whole of the UK, which will protect jobs and offer stability in the future, which you say in your statement you also want to achieve. However, it seems to me that the Labour Party and your Government can't make up its mind as to whether the UK should leave the EU or not. Eight of your own backbenchers and four members of your Government have called for a second referendum. So, for clarity this afternoon, can you tell us if your Government is now in favour of a second referendum and whether this is now official Welsh Government policy? And it is a bit rich of you to accuse the UK Government of failing to agree an approach to the negotiations with the devolved administrations when your predecessor didn't extend an invitation to me to meet to discuss the impact of the withdrawal agreement on Wales in my capacity as an opposition leader in this place. So, I won't take any lessons from your party with your claims for the lack of meaningful engagement and consultation. Surely, it would have been far better for all party leaders to have met and discussed the proposals to discuss the impact that they would have on Wales and on the operation of this Assembly. Indeed, I know that the Prime Minister has extended that courtesy of having discussions regarding Brexit with many opposition parties, including the leader of Plaid Cymru. Now, as you would expect, I've met a number of small and large-scale businesses recently and the message is abundantly clear: they want a deal. They say that a 'no deal' will have a grossly negative impact on business and the impact would be far-reaching and damaging. If the vote is carried next week in Parliament - and I sincerely hope it is - then businesses say they can plan the next stages. The time-limited implementation period would provide a bridge to the future relationship, with permission to allow businesses to continue trading as now until the end of next year. I'm sure this is something the First Minister would welcome. Without it, there is a huge amount of uncertainty and the implications could be very severe. We need to heed their stern and real warnings. The Confederation of British Industry have made their views clear. They've said, and I quote: 'This deal is a compromise, including for business, but it offers that essential transitional period as a step back from the cliff-edge.' Don't just listen to me and the CBI; listen to Andy Palmer, the chief executive of Aston Martin, who has put his thoughts on record as well. He has said that the Brexit deal in front of us is good enough. The Welsh Government are obviously not listening to the clear and consistent views of the business community, which has spoken with real clarity on this issue. So, since your appointment, what discussions have you had with business leaders in Wales, as we need to know that their view will be accurately reflected when your Ministers continue to discuss this issue with your Westminster counterparts? Now, the Welsh Government has been clear in saying that the last thing they want to see is a hard border between Wales and Ireland, and I totally agree with that position. Your predecessor talked about massive ramifications, particularly on the roads structure leading to our ports. Now, the case for dualling the A40 in my constituency, for example, has been made since the 1950s, and you will know that I've continually asked Government Ministers in this Chamber about commitments to dualling this road. However, this remains a single carriageway, and I mention this because this is just an example of where the Welsh Government has responsibility. So, it's even more important that the Welsh Government tells us what plans it has to improve the roads structure to our main ports. Now, I note in your statement today that you also referred to the flow of goods across borders in Holyhead, Fishguard and elsewhere, and I understand that you've been working very closely with the UK Government on the effect of Brexit particularly on Holyhead port. I'd be grateful if you'd give us a further update on the progress of that work. With that, Llywydd, can I thank the First Minister for his statement today? But it is incredibly easy for the Welsh Government to apportion blame and criticism to the UK Government. I would remind the Welsh Government that they also need to look at their own competencies, and I would encourage you and your Ministers to work constructively with the UK Government over the coming weeks.
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog, am eich datganiad y prynhawn yma, ond ni fyddwch chi'n synnu fy mod i'n dal yn siomedig â safbwynt Llywodraeth Lafur Cymru ar y mater hwn. Mewn datganiad a wnaeth eich rhagflaenydd ar 20 Tachwedd y llynedd, cadarnhaodd mai cymharol ychydig oedd angen ei newid er mwyn i Lywodraeth Cymru gefnogi cytundeb presennol Llywodraeth y DU gyda'r UE. Felly, ymddengys fod eich barn wedi newid cryn dipyn o'r safbwynt penodol hwnnw mewn cyn lleied o amser. A wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni felly beth sydd wedi newid ers hynny? Nawr, rwy'n sylwi eich bod yn cyhuddo Llywodraeth y DU o roi buddiannau'r Blaid Geidwadol o flaen buddiannau'r DU. Ni allai dim fod ymhellach o'r gwir, o ystyried - [ Torri ar draws.] Llywydd, gallaf glywed Aelodau eraill o bleidiau gwleidyddol eraill yn gweiddi. Roeddwn yn gwrtais iddyn nhw wrth wrando ar y Prif Weinidog ac rwy'n disgwyl yr un cwrteisi'n ôl. Nawr, ni allai dim fod ymhellach o'r gwir, o gofio bod Prif Weinidog y DU wedi ei gwneud hi'n gwbl glir fod y cytundeb a negodwyd gan ei Llywodraeth er budd y DU gyfan, a fydd yn diogelu swyddi ac yn cynnig sefydlogrwydd yn y dyfodol, sef yr hyn yr ydych chi'n dweud yn eich datganiad eich bod chi eisiau ei gyflawni hefyd. Fodd bynnag, ymddengys i mi na all y Blaid Lafur na'ch Llywodraeth benderfynu a ddylai'r DU adael yr UE ai peidio. Mae wyth o'ch Aelodau meinciau cefn eich hun a phedwar aelod o'ch Llywodraeth wedi galw am ail refferendwm. Felly, o ran eglurder y prynhawn yma, a wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni a yw eich Llywodraeth yn awr o blaid cynnal ail refferendwm ac ai dyma bellach yw polisi swyddogol Llywodraeth Cymru? Ac rydych chi'n eithaf hyf yn cyhuddo Llywodraeth y DU o fethu cytuno ar ddull y trafodaethau gyda'r gweinyddiaethau datganoledig pan nad oedd eich rhagflaenydd yn estyn gwahoddiad i mi gwrdd i drafod effaith y cytundeb ymadael ar Gymru yn fy swyddogaeth yn arweinydd yr wrthblaid yn y fan yma. Felly, ni fyddaf yn derbyn unrhyw wersi gan eich plaid chi gyda'ch honiadau am y diffyg ymgysylltu ac ymgynghori ystyrlon. Siawns y byddai hi wedi bod yn llawer gwell pe byddai holl arweinwyr y pleidiau wedi cwrdd a thrafod y cynigion i drafod yr effaith y bydden nhw'n eu cael ar Gymru ac ar weithrediad y Cynulliad hwn. Yn wir, rwy'n gwybod bod Prif Weinidog y DU wedi dangos cwrteisi a chynnig trafodaethau ynghylch Brexit gyda llawer o'r gwrthbleidiau, gan gynnwys arweinydd Plaid Cymru. Nawr, fel y byddech chi'n disgwyl, rwyf wedi cyfarfod nifer o fusnesau bach a mawr yn ddiweddar ac mae'r neges yn glir iawn: maen nhw eisiau cytundeb. Maen nhw'n dweud y bydd 'dim cytundeb' yn cael effaith hynod negyddol ar fusnes ac y byddai'r effaith yn bellgyrhaeddol ac yn niweidiol. Os derbynnir y bleidlais yr wythnos nesaf yn y Senedd - ac rwy'n mawr obeithio y caiff hi - yna mae busnesau'n dweud y gallan nhw gynllunio'r camau nesaf. Byddai'r cyfnod gweithredu cyfyng yn bont i berthynas yn y dyfodol, gyda chaniatâd i alluogi busnesau i barhau i fasnachu fel hyn tan ddiwedd y flwyddyn nesaf. Rwy'n siŵr bod hyn yn rhywbeth y byddai Prif Weinidog Cymru yn ei groesawu. Hebddo, mae llawer iawn o ansicrwydd a gallai'r goblygiadau fod yn ddifrifol iawn. Mae angen inni wrando ar eu rhybuddion dwys a difrifol. Mae Cydffederasiwn Diwydiant Prydain wedi mynegi eu barn yn glir. Maen nhw wedi dweud bod y fargen hon yn gyfaddawd, gan gynnwys ar gyfer busnes, ond mae'n cynnig y cyfnod pontio hanfodol hwnnw fel cam yn ôl o ymyl y dibyn. Peidiwch â gwrando arnaf i ac ar Gydffederasiwn Diwydiant Prydain yn unig; gwrandewch ar Andy Palmer, Prif Weithredwr Aston Martin, sydd wedi dweud ei farn ar goedd hefyd. Mae wedi dweud bod y cytundeb Brexit sydd ger ein bron yn ddigon da. Mae hi'n amlwg nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwrando ar farn glir a chyson y gymuned fusnes, sydd wedi siarad ag eglurder gwirioneddol ar y mater hwn. Felly, ers eich penodiad, pa drafodaethau a ydych wedi'u cael gydag arweinwyr busnes yng Nghymru, gan fod angen inni gael gwybod yr adlewyrchir eu barn yn briodol pan fydd eich Gweinidogion yn parhau i drafod y mater hwn â'ch cymheiriaid yn San Steffan? Nawr, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn glir wrth ddweud mai'r peth olaf y mae hi eisiau ei weld yw ffin galed rhwng Cymru a'r Iwerddon, ac rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr â'r safbwynt hwnnw. Soniodd eich rhagflaenydd am oblygiadau enfawr hynny, yn arbennig i strwythur y ffyrdd sy'n arwain at ein porthladdoedd. Nawr, dadleuwyd dros ddeuoli'r A40 yn fy etholaeth i, er enghraifft, ers y 1950au, a byddwch yn gwybod y bûm i'n gofyn yn barhaus i Weinidogion y Llywodraeth yn y Siambr hon am addewidion i ddeuoli'r ffordd hon. Fodd bynnag, mae'n parhau i fod yn ffordd unffrwd, ac rwy'n sôn am hyn oherwydd mae'n un enghraifft yn unig o agwedd lle mae'r cyfrifoldeb gan y Llywodraeth. Felly, mae'n bwysicach fyth fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn dweud wrthym ni pa gynlluniau sydd ganddi i wella'r strwythur ffyrdd i'n prif borthladdoedd. Nawr, rwy'n sylwi yn eich datganiad heddiw ichi gyfeirio hefyd at y llif o nwyddau ar draws ffiniau yng Nghaergybi, Abergwaun ac mewn mannau eraill, ac rwy'n deall y buoch chi'n cydweithio'n agos iawn â Llywodraeth y DU ar effaith Brexit yn arbennig ar borthladd Caergybi. Fe fyddwn i'n ddiolchgar pe baech chi'n rhoi'r newyddion diweddaraf inni ynglŷn â chynnydd y gwaith yna. Gyda hynny o lith, Llywydd, a gaf i ddiolch i'r Prif Weinidog am ei ddatganiad heddiw? Ond mae'n hynod o hawdd i Lywodraeth Cymru feio a beirniadu Llywodraeth y DU. Hoffwn atgoffa Llywodraeth Cymru bod angen iddi hi hefyd edrych ar ei chymwyseddau ei hun, ac rwy'n eich annog chi a'ch Gweinidogion i weithio'n adeiladol gyda Llywodraeth y DU dros yr wythnosau nesaf.
