English: I'm not au fait with the rural observatory, either, First Minister, you'll be pleased to know, so I'll ask you about a different aspect. I'm sure you'd agree with me that sustainable rural communities require a sustainable transport infrastructure. I often joke that you could have hopped on a train in my village of Raglan back in 1955 and travelled to Cardiff to work or to shop. Sixty years on, it's a much more complicated situation, even though we now have such innovative concepts as the Cardiff city region. Can you update us, now that you're in post - and congratulations on that - on your Government's plans to develop the south Wales metro? Where do we go from here, and how do we make sure that rural communities and outlying towns, such as Monmouth in my constituency, are well and truly on that metro map so that all areas of south-east Wales are able to benefit from the development of the metro?
Welsh: Nid wyf innau'n gyfarwydd iawn â'r arsyllfa wledig, ychwaith, Prif Weinidog, byddwch yn falch o wybod, felly fe'ch holaf am wahanol agwedd. Rwy'n siŵr y byddech chi'n cytuno â mi bod cymunedau gwledig cynaliadwy angen seilwaith trafnidiaeth cynaliadwy. Rwy'n aml yn cellwair y gallech chi fod wedi neidio ar drên yn fy mhentref i, Rhaglan, yn ôl ym 1955 a theithio i Gaerdydd i weithio neu i siopa. Drigain mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, mae'n sefyllfa llawer mwy cymhleth, er bod gennym ni gysyniadau arloesol fel dinas-ranbarth Caerdydd erbyn hyn. A allwch chi roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i ni, nawr eich bod chi yn y swydd - a llongyfarchiadau ar hynny - am gynlluniau eich Llywodraeth i ddatblygu metro de Cymru? Ble yr ydym ni'n mynd o'r fan yma, a sut ydym ni am wneud yn siŵr bod cymunedau gwledig a threfi pellennig, fel Trefynwy yn fy etholaeth i, ar y map metro hwnnw yn wirioneddol, fel bod pob rhan o'r de-ddwyrain yn gallu elwa ar ddatblygiad y metro?
English: Llywydd, thanks to Nick Ramsay for what he said and for the important points that he has made. He will be glad to know that our plans for the south Wales metro are well on track, that the funding for it that we have secured through the European Union will be used in full, that the money that is coming through the UK Government as part of the Cardiff capital deal will also be part of that broader funding package, together with significant funding from the Welsh Government itself, and we are confident that we will be able to press ahead to the timetable and to the extent that we have already announced, as far as the metro is concerned. I know that he will recognise as well that public transport provision for communities of the sort that he has identified and represents relies on bus travel as well as on train travel. And there is significant work going on in the department headed by Ken Skates to look at the way in which we can make better use of bus services, taxi services, a more imaginative, sometimes, approach to the way in which those services can be procured, so that, alongside the rail developments of the metro, we will have that wider span of public transport possibilities connecting towns and villages of Wales so that people can live, work and thrive in those communities, confident in knowing that connectivity to other parts of Wales is reliable and secure.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolch i Nick Ramsay am yr hyn a ddywedodd ac am y pwyntiau pwysig y mae wedi eu gwneud. Bydd yn falch o wybod bod ein cynlluniau ar gyfer metro de Cymru ar y trywydd iawn, y bydd y cyllid yr ydym ni wedi ei sicrhau drwy'r Undeb Ewropeaidd yn cael ei ddefnyddio'n llawn, y bydd yr arian sy'n dod drwy Lywodraeth y DU yn rhan o fargen prifddinas Caerdydd hefyd yn rhan o'r pecyn ariannu ehangach hwnnw, ynghyd â chyllid sylweddol gan Lywodraeth Cymru ei hun, ac rydym ni'n ffyddiog y byddwn ni'n gallu bwrw ymlaen yn unol â'r amserlen ac i'r graddau yr ydym ni wedi ei gyhoeddi eisoes, cyn belled ag y mae'r metro yn y cwestiwn. Gwn y bydd yn cydnabod hefyd bod darpariaeth cludiant cyhoeddus ar gyfer cymunedau o'r math y mae wedi cyfeirio atynt ac yn eu cynrychioli yn dibynnu ar fysiau yn ogystal â threnau. Ac mae gwaith sylweddol yn cael ei wneud yn yr adran dan arweiniad Ken Skates i edrych ar y modd y gallwn ni wneud gwell defnydd o wasanaethau bysiau, gwasanaethau tacsis, dull sy'n dangos mwy o ddychymyg, weithiau, o ran y ffordd y gellir caffael y gwasanaethau hynny, fel y bydd gennym ni, ochr yn ochr â datblygiadau rheilffyrdd y metro, y rhychwant ehangach hwnnw o bosibiliadau cludiant cyhoeddus yn cysylltu trefi a phentrefi Cymru fel y gall pobl fyw, gweithio a ffynnu yn y cymunedau hynny, gyda'r ffydd o wybod bod cysylltedd â rhannau eraill o Gymru yn ddibynadwy ac yn ddiogel.
English: I thank the Member for the question. Special protection for our cultural heritage is provided in legislation, recently strengthened by the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 and supplemented by guidance. Local planning authorities have primary responsibility for the protection of the finite, non-renewable and shared resource that is the historic environment of Cardiff and of Wales.
Welsh: Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn. Mae gwarchodaeth arbennig i'n treftadaeth ddiwylliannol wedi ei darparu mewn deddfwriaeth, a gryfhawyd yn ddiweddar gan Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd Hanesyddol (Cymru) 2016 ac sydd wedi ei hatodi gan ganllawiau. Awdurdodau cynllunio lleol sydd â'r prif gyfrifoldeb dros warchod yr adnodd cyfyngedig, anadnewyddadwy ac a rennir sef amgylchedd hanesyddol Caerdydd a Chymru.
English: First Minister, you'll be aware that much of the city centre of Cardiff has already fallen to the mammon of redevelopment, and we currently face a threat to a very fine Victorian crescent at Guildford Crescent, which is owned by the Rapport family. Cardiff council is endeavouring to preserve this special area of architectural interest, and they will also need to apply to get the building listed. But, in the meantime, the developer wishes to demolish the building and has already given notice to quit to the three businesses that have been thriving in the crescent. In line with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, what can we do in the National Assembly, and in the Welsh Government, to protect our cultural heritage from the redevelopment of areas so that all city centres look exactly the same, which means that people simply won't want to come here? So, on this specific issue, is there anything that the Welsh Government can do to support Cardiff council's rescue attempts?
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, byddwch yn ymwybodol bod llawer o ganol dinas Caerdydd eisoes wedi ildio i famon ailddatblygu, ac rydym ni'n wynebu bygythiad ar hyn o bryd i gilgant Fictoraidd ardderchog Guildford Crescent, sy'n eiddo i deulu Rapport. Mae cyngor Caerdydd yn ymdrechu i warchod yr ardal o ddiddordeb pensaernïol arbennig hon, a bydd angen iddyn nhw wneud cais i wneud yr adeilad yn rhestredig hefyd. Ond, yn y cyfamser, mae'r datblygwr yn dymuno dymchwel yr adeilad ac eisoes wedi rhoi rhybudd i ymadael i'r tri busnes sydd wedi bod yn ffynnu yn y cilgant. Yn unol â Deddf Llesiant Cenedlaethau'r Dyfodol (Cymru) 2015, beth allwn ni ei wneud yn y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol, ac yn Llywodraeth Cymru, i ddiogelu ein treftadaeth ddiwylliannol rhag ailddatblygu ardaloedd fel bod canol pob dinas yn edrych yn union yr un fath, sy'n golygu'n syml na fydd pobl eisiau dod yma? Felly, ar y mater penodol hwn, a oes unrhyw beth y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ei wneud i gefnogi ymdrechion achub cyngor Caerdydd?
English: I thank the Member for that question. Of course, I'm very familiar with the set of circumstances that she outlines and I can confirm to her that officials in Cadw have indeed already been asked to consider the merits of those buildings to be listed and that they are acutely aware of the urgency in their consideration of that request. As far as the city council is concerned, I understand that the consultation that they have carried out on the proposed designation of Guildford Crescent as a conservation area has now been completed and that a decision can now be made by the council's cabinet. If the council decide to proceed with that designation, then it will come into effect from the date of the cabinet's resolution, and, if that happens, then the proposal to demolish will have to acquire an application for conservation area consent.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn yna. Wrth gwrs, rwy'n gyfarwydd iawn â'r gyfres o amgylchiadau y mae hi'n eu hamlinellu a gallaf gadarnhau iddi y gofynnwyd eisoes mewn gwirionedd i swyddogion yn Cadw ystyried rhinweddau'r adeiladau hynny i gael eu rhestru ac maen nhw'n gwbl ymwybodol o'r brys sy'n gysylltiedig â'u hystyriaeth o'r cais hwnnw. Cyn belled ag y mae cyngor y ddinas yn y cwestiwn, rwy'n deall bod yr ymgynghoriad y maen nhw wedi ei gynnal ar ddynodiad arfaethedig Guildford Crescent fel ardal gadwraeth wedi'i gwblhau erbyn hyn ac y gall penderfyniad gael ei wneud gan gabinet y cyngor erbyn hyn. Os bydd y cyngor yn penderfynu bwrw ymlaen â'r dynodiad hwnnw, yna bydd yn dod i rym o ddyddiad penderfyniad y cabinet, ac os bydd hynny'n digwydd, yna bydd yn rhaid i'r cynnig i ddymchwel gael cais am gydsyniad ardal gadwraeth.
English: I thank Vikki Howells for that. Over the next 12 months, we will continue to roll out the refill scheme that we have across Wales. The scheme encourages businesses and organisations to offer free water refilling facilities to members of the public. There are already 727 refill stations across Wales, including outlets in the Cynon Valley.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Vikki Howells am hynna. Dros y flwyddyn nesaf, byddwn yn parhau i gyflwyno'r cynllun ail-lenwi sydd gennym ni ledled Cymru. Mae'r cynllun yn annog busnesau a sefydliadau i gynnig cyfleusterau ail-lenwi dŵr rhad ac am ddim i aelodau o'r cyhoedd. Mae 727 o orsafoedd ail-lenwi ledled Cymru eisoes, gan gynnwys safleoedd yng Nghwm Cynon.
English: Thank you, First Minister. Just before Christmas, I was fortunate enough to meet with the pupils of Pengeulan Primary School, who expressed their grave concerns to me about plastic pollution. They have a very laudable ambition to make their town of Mountain Ash plastic free and have already done lots of work and research on this. Bearing in mind your manifesto commitment to provide a network of drinking fountains across Wales, that could actually go quite some way to helping them with their ambition, so my request is: would you consider making Mountain Ash one of the very first towns to benefit from that pledge?
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Ychydig cyn y Nadolig, roeddwn i'n ddigon ffodus o gael cyfarfod â disgyblion Ysgol Gynradd Pengeulan, a fynegodd eu pryderon difrifol i mi am lygredd plastig. Mae ganddyn nhw uchelgais canmoladwy iawn i wneud eu tref sef Aberpennar yn ddi-blastig ac maen nhw eisoes wedi gwneud llawer o waith ac ymchwil ar hyn. O gofio eich ymrwymiad maniffesto i ddarparu rhwydwaith o ffynhonnau yfed ledled Cymru, gallai hynny wneud cryn dipyn i'w helpu gyda'u huchelgais, felly fy nghais i yw: a wnewch chi ystyried gwneud Aberpennar yn un o'r trefi cyntaf un i elwa ar yr addewid hwnnw?
English: I thank Vikki Howells for that supplementary question and congratulate, of course, the pupils at Pengeulan Primary School on their interest in this really important area. Llywydd, if one in 10 people in Britain refilled just once a week, some 340 million single-use plastic bottles would be saved from going into landfill, going a long way to help with the ambition that the pupils of that school have undertaken. Of course, as we work on the network of drinking fountains, we will certainly bear Mountain Ash in mind. In the meantime, the refill scheme has people working for it who are able to go into schools to explain to pupils there the way that that scheme works, to explain to them its availability locally and to encourage them further in their ambitions for a plastic-free future for Wales, and I'm very happy to help arrange for pupils of Pengeulan Primary School to meet with one of the scheme co-ordinators.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Vikki Howells am y cwestiwn atodol yna ac rwy'n llongyfarch, wrth gwrs, disgyblion Ysgol Gynradd Pengeulan ar eu diddordeb yn y maes hynod bwysig hwn. Llywydd, pe byddai un o bob 10 o bobl ym Mhrydain yn ail-lenwi dim ond unwaith yr wythnos, byddai tua 340 miliwn o boteli plastig untro yn cael eu hatal rhag mynd i safleoedd tirlenwi, gan wneud llawer iawn i helpu gyda'r uchelgais y mae disgyblion yr ysgol honno wedi ymgymryd ag ef. Wrth gwrs, wrth i ni weithio ar y rhwydwaith o ffynhonnau yfed, byddwn yn sicr yn cadw Aberpennar mewn cof. Yn y cyfamser, mae gan y cynllun ail-lenwi bobl sy'n gweithio iddo sy'n gallu mynd i ysgolion i egluro i ddisgyblion yno y ffordd y mae'r cynllun yn gweithio, i esbonio lle mae ar gael yn lleol ac i'w hannog ymhellach yn eu huchelgeisiau ar gyfer dyfodol di-blastig i Gymru, ac rwy'n hapus iawn i helpu i drefnu i ddisgyblion o Ysgol Gynradd Pengeulan gyfarfod ag un o gydgysylltwyr y cynllun.
English: I thank Rhianon Passmore for the question. Our commitment to preventing and tackling homelessness is supported by significant new funding of £30 million. Cross-Government actions have been announced to tackle youth homelessness, as we invest in housing first projects and support a range of innovative approaches to addressing this complex problem.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Rhianon Passmore am y cwestiwn. Cefnogir ein hymrwymiad i atal a mynd i'r afael â digartrefedd gan gyllid newydd sylweddol o £30 miliwn. Cyhoeddwyd camau trawslywodraethol i fynd i'r afael â digartrefedd ymhlith pobl ifanc, wrth i ni fuddsoddi mewn prosiectau tai yn gyntaf a chefnogi amrywiaeth o ddulliau arloesol i fynd i'r afael â'r broblem gymhleth hon.
English: Thank you for that answer, First Minister. First Minister, I also wish to offer you the best wishes from my constituents in Islwyn for your endeavours as First Minister on behalf of the Welsh people. First Minister, at least 320,000 people are homeless in Britain, according to research by the housing charity, Shelter. The estimate suggests that, nationally, one in 200 people are homeless. First Minister, the Welsh Government announced just before Christmas an innovative scheme that helps people who are homeless to move off the streets into housing and offers them long-term support to live independently, and this has received more than £700,000 of Welsh Government funding. How will Welsh Government action help take people out of homelessness in Islwyn, and how does this action compare to the austerity actions of the UK Tory Government that even the United Nations say were designed to hurt the poor?
Welsh: Diolch am yr ateb yna, Prif Weinidog. Prif Weinidog, hoffwn innau hefyd gynnig dymuniadau gorau fy etholwyr yn Islwyn i chi ar gyfer eich ymdrechion fel Prif Weinidog ar ran pobl Cymru. Prif Weinidog, mae o leiaf 320,000 o bobl yn ddigartref ym Mhrydain, yn ôl gwaith ymchwil gan yr elusen dai, Shelter. Mae'r amcangyfrif yn awgrymu, yn genedlaethol, bod un o bob 200 o bobl yn ddigartref. Prif Weinidog, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru ychydig cyn y Nadolig gynllun arloesol sy'n helpu pobl sy'n ddigartref i symud oddi ar y strydoedd i dai ac sy'n cynnig cymorth hirdymor iddyn nhw i fyw'n annibynnol, ac mae hwn wedi cael mwy na £700,000 o gyllid Llywodraeth Cymru. Sut bydd camau Llywodraeth Cymru yn helpu i dynnu pobl allan o ddigartrefedd yn Islwyn, a sut mae'r camau hyn yn cymharu â chamau cyni cyllidol Llywodraeth Dorïaidd y DU y mae hyd yn oed y Cenhedloedd Unedig yn dweud eu bod wedi eu llunio i frifo pobl dlawd?
English: Llywydd, the rise in visible street homelessness is surely one of the most shocking and distressing phenomena of our time and is, in the way that the Member suggests, directly connected to the impact of austerity, both in the lives of individuals and families, but also in the public services that seek to support them. Of course we are pleased to be part of those innovative solutions and to have provided money directly to local authorities over this winter to help with rough-sleeping initiatives. The housing first initiative to which I think the Member has referred has been developed in Conwy and Denbigh, is active in Merthyr and Rhondda Cynon Taf, and is now being adopted in Cardiff as well. The approach to rough-sleeping and street homelessness is complex. It's more than accommodation, we know. It involves more than one agency in a successful response. It requires more than one pathway, because people's needs are very different between being a young person or someone who has a dependency on drugs or alcohol, and we know that there is more than one solution that can be brought about to meet that problem. The innovative work that is being done by the voluntary sector, by the housing association sector and by local authorities in Wales I think gives us some heart that, in those really difficult and distressing circumstances, there is more that we can and want to do here in Wales.
Welsh: Llywydd, mae'r cynnydd i ddigartrefedd gweledol ar y stryd yn sicr yn un o ffenomenau mwyaf syfrdanol a thrallodus ein hoes ac mae wedi ei gysylltu'n uniongyrchol, yn y ffordd y mae'r Aelod yn ei awgrymu, ag effaith cyni cyllidol, ym mywydau unigolion a theuluoedd, ond hefyd yn y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus sy'n ceisio eu cynorthwyo. Wrth gwrs, rydym ni'n falch o fod yn rhan o'r atebion arloesol hynny ac o fod wedi darparu arian yn uniongyrchol i awdurdodau lleol dros y gaeaf hwn i helpu gyda mentrau cysgu ar y stryd. Datblygwyd y fenter tai yn gyntaf, yr wyf i'n credu y cyfeiriodd yr Aelod ati, yng Nghonwy a Dinbych, mae'n weithredol ym Merthyr Tudful a Rhondda Cynon Taf, ac mae'n cael ei mabwysiadu yng Nghaerdydd hefyd erbyn hyn. Mae'r dull o ymdrin â chysgu ar y strydoedd a digartrefedd ar y strydoedd yn gymhleth. Mae'n fwy na llety, rydym ni'n gwybod. Mae'n cynnwys mwy nag un asiantaeth mewn ymateb llwyddiannus. Mae'n gofyn am fwy nag un llwybr, gan fod anghenion pobl yn wahanol iawn rhwng bod yn unigolyn ifanc neu'n rhywun sydd â dibyniaeth ar gyffuriau neu alcohol, ac rydym ni'n gwybod y gellir cynnig mwy nag un ateb i ddatrys y broblem honno. Mae'r gwaith arloesol sy'n cael ei wneud gan y sector gwirfoddol, gan y sector cymdeithasau tai a chan awdurdodau lleol yng Nghymru yn rhoi rhywfaint o anogaeth i ni, rwy'n credu, yn yr amgylchiadau anodd a thrallodus iawn hynny, bod mwy y gallwn ni ei wneud ac yr ydym ni eisiau ei wneud yma yn Cymru.
English: The next item is the business statement and announcement and I call on the Trefnydd to make the statement - Rebecca Evans.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r datganiad a chyhoeddiad busnes, a galwaf ar y Trefnydd i wneud y datganiad - Rebecca Evans.
English: There are two changes to this week's business. The First Minister will make a statement shortly on an update to the EU transition, and the statement on apprenticeships: investing in skills for the future has been postponed. Draft business for the first three weeks of the new term is set out in the business statement and announcement, which can be found amongst the meeting papers available to Members electronically.
Welsh: Mae dau newid i fusnes yr wythnos hon. Bydd y Prif Weinidog yn gwneud datganiad cyn bo hir ar yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf o ran y trefniadau pontio Ewropeaidd, a'r datganiad ar brentisiaethau: mae buddsoddi mewn sgiliau ar gyfer y dyfodol wedi ei ohirio. Mae busnes drafft ar gyfer tair wythnos gyntaf y tymor newydd wedi ei nodi yn y datganiad a'r cyhoeddiad busnes y gellir eu gweld ymysg papurau'r cyfarfod sydd ar gael i'r Aelodau yn electronig.
English: Congratulations on your new job, Minister. May I ask for a statement from the Welsh Government on the level of council tax increases in Wales? Although I'm advised that there is no official cap on what councils can raise taxes by, there is an informal limit of 5 per cent set. Newport City Council intend to raise council tax in the city by 6.95 per cent - nearly 7 per cent - increasing the burden on already hard-pressed local residents of this great city. Could we have a statement on whether Newport City Council requires Welsh Government permission to raise council tax above this limit, or is this 5 per cent cap just another example of words and not action by your Government?
Welsh: Llongyfarchiadau ar eich swydd newydd, Gweinidog. A gaf i ofyn am ddatganiad gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar lefel y cynnydd yn y dreth gyngor yng Nghymru? Er fy mod wedi fy hysbysu nad oes terfyn swyddogol ar y codiadau trethi y gall cynghorau eu gwneud, mae terfyn anffurfiol o 5 y cant wedi ei osod. Mae Cyngor Dinas Casnewydd yn bwriadu codi'r dreth gyngor yn y ddinas 6.95 y cant - bron i 7 y cant - sy'n rhoi mwy o faich ar drigolion lleol sydd eisoes dan bwysau yn y ddinas fawr hon. A gawn ni ddatganiad i gadarnhau a oes angen caniatâd Llywodraeth Cymru ar Gyngor Dinas Casnewydd i godi'r dreth gyngor yn uwch na'r terfyn hwn, ynteu enghraifft arall o eiriau heb weithredu gan eich Llywodraeth yw'r terfyn hwn o 5 y cant?
English: Thank you very much for raising this issue. However, the setting of council tax rates and levels is very much an issue for each local authority to decide independently of Welsh Government interference.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am godi'r mater hwn. Fodd bynnag, mae gosod cyfraddau a lefelau'r dreth gyngor yn fater i bob awdurdod lleol benderfynu arno yn annibynnol heb ymyrraeth gan Lywodraeth Cymru.
