English: Thank you. I'm pleased to open the debate on the final budget for 2020-21 this afternoon. Since we debated the draft budget in the Chamber a month ago, we've carefully considered the recommendations of the Finance Committee's report and those of the other Senedd committees. In line with the commitment we made following last year's scrutiny, I am pleased that we were able to respond to all of the reports by the end of last week, and I responded formally and positively to the 27 recommendations put forward by the Finance Committee. At this stage in the budget process, we would normally look to take account of any significant adjustments resulting from the UK budget in the final budget. We know, however, that this year has been far from normal, given the UK Government's unpredictability. We've seen a promised multi-year spending review, which translated into a one-year spending round, and an autumn UK budget that is now set for 11 March - too late for us to take into account in publishing our final budget proposals. Not only are we constrained in this aspect, the UK Government, late on in this financial year, dealt us another blow by cutting our financial transactions capital by more than £100 million, and our traditional capital by close to £100 million. In simple terms, the UK Government is taking £200 million away from us in what is a challenging time. I've written to the Chief Secretary to the Treasury objecting strongly to these changes being made so late in the day. We're seeking clarification, and as soon as I have that clarity, I'll write to the Finance Committee with the details. This is yet another example of why we need to complete the joint work with the UK Government and the other devolved Governments to review and improve the statement-of-funding policy, which is integral to our ability to plan and manage budgets. And this is a point I'll be pressing, along with the finance Ministers of Scotland and Northern Ireland, at a meeting of the finance Ministers quadrilateral next week. Since we debated the draft budget a month ago, many communities in Wales have suffered the unprecedented and devastating impacts of storm Ciara and storm Dennis. Teams within Welsh Government have been working around the clock with local authorities, emergency services and Natural Resources Wales to provide the best possible urgent support to those affected. And I would like to take this opportunity again to put on record once more our thanks to the emergency services and volunteers up and down Wales, who have worked so tirelessly in recent weeks. To support the initial recovery work, we have announced that up to £10 million will be made available immediately. We have been able to mobilise that funding in the short term through very careful management of our resources and the drawing together of funds from across Government. I wrote to the Chair of the Finance Committee last week, setting out how I plan to make that money available quickly, given the close proximity of the end of the financial year. But we know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Work is ongoing to get a clear picture of the scale of the damage, and to identify the longer term support needed.
Welsh: Diolch. Rwy'n falch o agor y ddadl ar y gyllideb derfynol ar gyfer 2020-21 y prynhawn yma. Ers inni gael dadl ar y gyllideb ddrafft yn y Siambr fis yn ôl, rydym wedi ystyried argymhellion adroddiad y Pwyllgor Cyllid a rhai pwyllgorau eraill y Senedd yn ofalus. Yn unol â'r ymrwymiad a wnaethom ni yn dilyn craffu'r llynedd, rwy'n falch ein bod wedi gallu ymateb i'r holl adroddiadau erbyn diwedd yr wythnos diwethaf, ac fe ymatebais i'n ffurfiol ac yn gadarnhaol i'r 27 o argymhellion a gyflwynwyd gan y Pwyllgor Cyllid. Ar yr adeg hon ym mhroses y gyllideb, fe fyddem ni fel arfer yn ystyried unrhyw addasiadau sylweddol yn deillio o gyllideb y DU yn y gyllideb derfynol. Fe wyddom, serch hynny, fod y flwyddyn hon ymhell o fod yn un arferol, o gofio natur anrhagweladwy Llywodraeth y DU. Rydym wedi gweld addewid o adolygiad aml-flwyddyn o wariant, a oedd yn golygu cylch gwariant am flwyddyn, a chyllideb hydref y DU a fydd bellach ar 11 Mawrth - yn rhy hwyr inni ei hystyried wrth gyhoeddi ein cynigion ni ar gyfer y gyllideb derfynol. Nid yn unig y cawsom ein llyffetheirio yn y modd hwn, ond fe roddodd Llywodraeth y DU, yn hwyr yn y flwyddyn ariannol hon, ergyd arall inni drwy dorri mwy na £100 miliwn oddi ar ein cyfalaf trafodion ariannol ni, ac yn agos at £100 miliwn oddi ar ein cyfalaf traddodiadol ni. Yn syml, mae Llywodraeth y DU yn cymryd £200 miliwn oddi wrthym mewn cyfnod heriol. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at Brif Ysgrifennydd y Trysorlys gan wrthwynebu'r newidiadau hyn yn gryf am iddyn nhw gael eu gwneud mor hwyr. Rydym ni'n chwilio am eglurhad, a chyn gynted ag y bydd yr eglurder hwnnw gennyf, fe fyddaf i'n ysgrifennu at y Pwyllgor Cyllid gyda'r manylion. Dyma enghraifft arall eto o'r angen inni gwblhau'r gwaith ar y cyd â Llywodraeth y DU a'r llywodraethau datganoledig eraill i adolygu a gwella'r polisi o ran datganiad cyllid, sy'n rhan annatod o'n gallu ni i gynllunio a rheoli cyllidebau. Ac mae hwn yn bwynt y byddaf i'n ei bwysleisio, ynghyd â Gweinidogion cyllid yr Alban a Gogledd Iwerddon, mewn cyfarfod pedairochrog o'r Gweinidogion cyllid yr wythnos nesaf. Ers i ni gael dadl ar y gyllideb ddrafft fis yn ôl, mae yna lawer o gymunedau yng Nghymru wedi dioddef effeithiau digynsail a dinistriol stormydd Ciara a Dennis. Mae timau o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn gweithio o fore gwyn tan nos gydag awdurdodau lleol, gwasanaethau brys a Chyfoeth Naturiol Cymru i roi'r cymorth gorau posib i'r rhai a gafodd eu heffeithio ganddyn nhw. Ac fe hoffwn i achub ar y cyfle hwn eto i fynegi ar goedd ein diolch ni i'r gwasanaethau brys a'r gwirfoddolwyr ar hyd a lled Cymru, sydd wedi gweithio mor ddiflino yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf. I gefnogi'r gwaith adfer cychwynnol, rydym wedi cyhoeddi y bydd hyd at £10 miliwn ar gael ar unwaith. Rydym wedi gallu defnyddio'r cyllid hwnnw yn y tymor byr drwy reoli ein hadnoddau'n ofalus iawn a thrwy dynnu arian o bob rhan o'r Llywodraeth. Fe ysgrifennais i at Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Cyllid yr wythnos diwethaf, gan nodi sut yr ydym yn bwriadu sicrhau bod yr arian hwnnw ar gael yn gyflym, o ystyried pa mor gyflym y daw diwedd y flwyddyn ariannol. Ond gwyddom mai dim ond crafu'r wyneb yw hyn. Mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo i geisio darlun clir o faint y difrod, a nodi'r cymorth a fydd ei angen yn y tymor hwy.
