English: This dogma-driven decision has nothing to do with increasing the supply of social housing. Sorry, Joyce. It has everything to do with shifting the blame for Labour's total failure, after 17 years in power, to increase the supply of social housing. Actually, Deputy Presiding Officer, in the Newport area they tried to build those houses in the academic, the university campus. Today - only today - they actually allowed, to build social houses, to demolish one iconic church in Newport and to put a few houses. That also needs to be looked at: where the houses are going to be built. That is another area that the Labour Party should be considering: to tell all the councils that listed buildings or iconic buildings should not be disturbed. The social housing crisis in Wales is a result of Welsh Labour missing building targets. In 2007, when I came here, there was a big project - a big target that you actually put in this Chamber: 25,000 houses, and you never achieved more than - [Interruption.] You never achieved more than 6,000. And, then, in the end, you said that it was only piloted. God help you. Since 2004, successive Welsh Governments have been warned of an impending crisis unless they stepped up this house building. The previous Government was told by its own housing review that it would have to build at least 14,000 homes per annum until 2026 in order to meet housing demand, as David Melding has already mentioned. The Home Builders Federation states that poor planning and higher costs associated with building homes in Wales have compromised investment. That is another disaster of Labour's attitude. They say that the more attractive planning and development environment in England means that the volume of permissions has increased by 49 per cent, while it is decreasing in Wales. There are around 23,000 empty homes in Wales. Some are in need of renovation, yet the previous Welsh Government made only 7,500 empty homes available to re-join the housing stock. Deputy Presiding Officer, we need a new approach for housing in Wales: not one based on the failed left-wing socialist dogma of the 1970s, but one that meets - [Interruption.] One that meets the needs and aspirations of our people - [Interruption.]
Welsh: Nid oes gan y penderfyniad hwn sy'n cael ei yrru gan ddogma ddim i'w wneud â chynyddu'r cyflenwad o dai cymdeithasol. Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, Joyce. Mae ganddo bopeth i'w wneud â symud y bai am fethiant llwyr Llafur, ar ôl 17 mlynedd mewn grym, i gynyddu'r cyflenwad o dai cymdeithasol. A dweud y gwir, Ddirprwy Lywydd, yn ardal Casnewydd fe geisiwyd adeiladu'r tai hynny yn y campws academaidd, campws y brifysgol. Heddiw - heddiw ddiwethaf - er mwyn adeiladu tai cymdeithasol, maent wedi caniatáu dymchwel un eglwys eiconig yng Nghasnewydd, er mwyn codi ychydig o dai. Mae angen edrych ar hynny hefyd: ble mae'r tai yn mynd i gael eu hadeiladu. Dyna faes arall y dylai'r Blaid Lafur ei ystyried: dweud wrth yr holl gynghorau na ddylid tarfu ar adeiladau rhestredig neu adeiladau eiconig. Mae'r argyfwng tai cymdeithasol yng Nghymru yn ganlyniad i fethiant Llafur Cymru i gyrraedd targedau adeiladu. Yn 2007, pan ddeuthum yma, roedd yna brosiect mawr - targed mawr a osodoch yn y Siambr hon: 25,000 o dai, ac ni chyflawnoch chi fwy na - [Torri ar draws.] Ni chyflawnoch chi fwy na 6,000. Ac yna, yn y diwedd, fe ddywedoch mai peilot yn unig ydoedd. Duw a'ch helpo. Ers 2004, mae Llywodraethau olynol yng Nghymru wedi cael eu rhybuddio ynglŷn ag argyfwng sydd ar y ffordd oni bai eu bod yn cynyddu'r gwaith adeiladu tai. Dywedodd ei adolygiad tai ei hun wrth y Llywodraeth flaenorol y byddai'n rhaid iddi adeiladu o leiaf 14,000 o gartrefi bob blwyddyn tan 2026 er mwyn ateb y galw am dai, fel y mae David Melding wedi sôn eisoes. Mae'r Ffederasiwn Adeiladwyr Cartrefi yn nodi bod cynllunio gwael a chostau uwch sy'n gysylltiedig ag adeiladu cartrefi yng Nghymru wedi peryglu buddsoddiad. Dyna drychineb arall sy'n deillio o agwedd Llafur. Dywedir bod yr amgylchedd cynllunio a datblygu mwy deniadol yn Lloegr yn golygu bod nifer y caniatadau wedi cynyddu 49 y cant, er bod y nifer yn gostwng yng Nghymru. Ceir tua 23,000 o dai gwag yng Nghymru. Mae rhai angen eu hadnewyddu, ac eto 7,500 o dai gwag yn unig y sicrhaodd Llywodraeth flaenorol Cymru eu bod ar gael i'w hailgyflwyno i'r stoc dai. Ddirprwy Lywydd, mae arnom angen dull newydd o weithredu ar gyfer tai yng Nghymru: nid un sy'n seiliedig ar ddogma sosialaidd aflwyddiannus adain chwith y 1970au, ond un sy'n diwallu - [Torri ar draws.] Un sy'n diwallu anghenion a dyheadau ein pobl - [Torri ar draws.]
