English: Cabinet Secretary, I won't go over many of the points that have been covered on the gambling issue. Can I just say, first of all, you'll remember the individual Members' debate we had here in 2013 - I think this Assembly is one of the first of the Parliaments to actually have a detailed, thorough debate on the issue of the emerging problem of growing gambling? In fact, it was that debate - when people say, 'Well, what do these debates mean?' - that actually led, in the Wales Act, to at least some devolution of powers in respect of fixed-odd betting machines. Unfortunately, it didn't attract the sort of attention that occurred later on, but I think it's fair to say that this Assembly has led the way, actually, in identifying and looking at ways in which gambling could be dealt with as a public health issue. What's important about this report as well is that almost half of it - 17 pages of it - deals with what is identified as an emerging public health challenge, and this is the thing that we've had in the various debates in this particular Assembly. And it's a very good report, because it also, in terms of establishing a task and finish group in terms of the need for more research - . You'll recall that all that research was stopped in 2010, so that the actual data we have has been limited until the work that was done in terms of the report that Jane Hutt and myself and others funded. But this gives us an opportunity now to do proper analysis, proper investigation, into the actual scale of the problem. Very importantly, what is identified is that whatever work is done has to be free of the influence of the tobacco industry - I beg your pardon, the gambling industry; that's another issue - an industry that has ploughed money into research, but has a stranglehold over that research, the direction it has, and research that seems to go around in circles for decades. So, it's very important that we are independent of that. Can I also say one other thing? Of course, many of us have been watching some of the recent sporting successes of Welsh soccer teams, and of course Spurs are playing Newport tomorrow night. There may even be Assembly Members who will be at that very game. But I raise the point not to diminish anyone's enthusiasm for their local team, but because of the stranglehold that gambling now has over sport: the identification in people's minds of sport, of soccer, of whole varieties of sports, with gambling. Those of us who will watch that game that night will see, around all the ground now, all the gambling adverts. We will see the texts that come on the phones, the stuff that comes onto online and so on. And whatever capacity we have - we can do some things on fixed-odd betting machines, we can do stuff in terms of our planning powers - I think we also have to look at our association with sport within Wales in terms of how we actually tackle and ensure that there isn't that growth of gambling advertising taking place, and that we also engage with Westminster over the fact that, having identified a public health issue, we actually need the powers to be able to deal with it. One of the problems, of course, with the Wales Act is it limits the capacity we might have had in certain areas of gambling as a public health issue -
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ni fyddaf yn ailadrodd llawer o'r pwyntiau sydd wedi cael sylw o ran y mater hapchwarae. A gaf i ddweud, yn gyntaf, byddwch yn cofio dadl yr Aelodau unigol a gawsom yma yn 2013 - rwy'n credu mai'r Cynulliad hwn yw un o'r Seneddau cyntaf i gynnal dadl fanwl, drwyadl mewn gwirionedd ar y broblem sy'n dod i'r amlwg o'r cynnydd mewn hapchwarae? Yn wir, y ddadl honno pan roedd pobl yn dweud, 'Wel, beth mae'r dadleuon hyn yn ei olygu?' - a arweiniodd, mewn gwirionedd, yn Neddf Cymru, at o leiaf rhywfaint o bwerau datganoli o ran peiriannau betio ods sefydlog. Yn anffodus, ni wnaeth ddenu'r math o sylw a fu yn ddiweddarach, ond rwy'n credu ei bod yn deg dweud bod y Cynulliad hwn wedi arwain y ffordd, mewn gwirionedd, o ran nodi ac edrych ar ffyrdd y gellid ymdrin â hapchwarae fel mater iechyd cyhoeddus. Yr hyn sy'n bwysig am yr adroddiad hwn hefyd yw bod bron i hanner ohono - 17 tudalen ohono - yn ymdrin â'r hyn a gaiff ei ddisgrifio fel her iechyd cyhoeddus sy'n dod i'r amlwg, a dyma beth yr ydym wedi'i gael mewn dadleuon amrywiol yn y Cynulliad penodol hwn. Ac mae'n adroddiad da iawn, oherwydd ei fod hefyd, o ran sefydlu grŵp gorchwyl a gorffen o ran yr angen am fwy o ymchwil - . Fe gofiwch chi y peidiodd yr holl ymchwil hwnnw yn 2010, felly mae'r data gwirioneddol sydd gennym wedi bod yn brin tan y gwaith a wnaethpwyd o ran yr adroddiad y gwnaeth Jane Hutt a minnau ac eraill ei ariannu. Ond nawr mae hyn yn rhoi cyfle i gynnal dadansoddiad priodol, ymchwiliad priodol, i wir faint y broblem. Yn bwysig iawn, yr hyn a nodir yw bod yn rhaid i unrhyw waith a wneir fod yn rhydd o ddylanwad y diwydiant tybaco - mae'n ddrwg gennyf, y diwydiant hapchwarae; mater arall yw hynny - diwydiant sydd wedi cyfrannu llawer o arian at waith ymchwil, ond sydd â gafael haearnaidd ar y gwaith ymchwil hwnnw, ei gyfeiriad, ac ymchwil sy'n troi mewn cylchoedd ers degawdau yn ôl pob golwg. Felly, mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod yn annibynnol ar hynny. A gaf i hefyd ddweud un peth arall? Wrth gwrs, mae llawer ohonom ni wedi bod yn gwylio rhai o lwyddiannau chwaraeon diweddar timau pêl-droed Cymru, ac wrth gwrs mae Spurs yn chwarae yn erbyn Casnewydd nos yfory. Efallai bydd rhai o Aelodau'r Cynulliad yn mynd i'r gêm honno hyd yn oed. Ond nid i bylu brwdfrydedd unrhyw un tuag at eu tîm lleol yr wyf yn codi'r pwynt, yn hytrach oherwydd y gafael haearnaidd hwnnw sydd gan hapchwarae bellach dros chwaraeon: y cysylltiad ym meddyliau pobl rhwng chwaraeon, pêl-droed, pob math o chwaraeon, a hapchwarae. Bydd y rheini ohonom a fydd yn gwylio'r gêm honno ar y noson honno yn gweld, o amgylch yr holl gae erbyn hyn, yr holl hysbysebion hapchwarae. Byddwn yn gweld y negeseuon testun a ddaw ar y ffonau, y pethau a ddaw ar-lein ac ati. A beth bynnag fo'n gallu ni - gallwn wneud pethau ar beiriannau betio ods sefydlog, gallwn wneud pethau gyda'n pwerau cynllunio - rwy'n credu bod yn rhaid i ni edrych ar ein cysylltiad â chwaraeon yng Nghymru o ran sut yr ydym ni mewn gwirionedd yn mynd i'r afael â hyn ac yn sicrhau nad yw'r cynnydd hwnnw mewn hysbysebu hapchwarae yn digwydd, a bod yn rhaid i ni drafod gyda San Steffan ar y ffaith, ar ôl nodi mater iechyd cyhoeddus, bod arnom ni angen y pwerau i allu ymdrin ag ef. Un o'r problemau, wrth gwrs, â Deddf Cymru, yw ei bod yn cyfyngu ar y gallu y gallem ni fod wedi ei gael mewn meysydd penodol o hapchwarae fel mater iechyd cyhoeddus -
