English: I could not agree more with Huw Irranca-Davies in his analysis of the impact of the spring statement. The Chancellor says that he has protected the worse off; it's nonsensical when you look at the figures of the money that he has provided - £1 in every £3 will go to the bottom half of the income distribution, and £2 in every £3 will go to the best off. That is no way to help the people who Huw Irranca-Davies mentioned, who are struggling with the basics of food and fuel. The Welsh Government has consistently taken action to exceed the consequentials with which we have been provided. The Wales Governance Centre only last week said that the actions that the Welsh Government have taken are significantly more generous in the help we've been able to assemble than any other Government across the United Kingdom. We will make sure, for example, that the £150 available to help people with their council tax goes to everybody liable for the council tax, whether or not they actually pay a bill or not, and that money will therefore reach those who need it the most. Only last week the Minister for education provided an extra £100 for families to meet the cost of the school day. That money will stay in the pockets of those families and will be available to help them with the other costs that they are now facing. And that is not to mention the help that we have provided with fuel bills - £200 to families during this winter, more to come later this year. Of course we wish we could do more, but the fundamental obligation lies with the UK Government. It's the Chancellor who has those great levers, the tax and benefits system, which drives help for people who live on basic benefits or in low-paid work. That was the failure of the spring statement, and it's a failure that I think demonstrated a Chancellor prepared ruthlessly to squander an opportunity to help.
Welsh: Ni allwn gytuno'n fwy â Huw Irranca-Davies yn ei ddadansoddiad o effaith datganiad y gwanwyn. Mae'r Canghellor yn dweud ei fod wedi amddiffyn y gwaethaf eu byd; mae'n ddisynwyr pan edrychwch chi ar ffigurau'r arian y mae wedi ei ddarparu - bydd £1 ym mhob £3 yn mynd i hanner isaf y dosbarthiad incwm, a bydd £2 ym mhob £3 yn mynd i'r rhai sydd â'r mwyaf. Nid yw hynny yn ffordd o helpu'r bobl y soniodd Huw Irranca-Davies amdanyn nhw, sy'n cael trafferth gyda hanfodion bwyd a thanwydd. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cymryd camau cyson i ragori ar y symiau canlyniadol a ddarparwyd i ni. Yr wythnos diwethaf dywedodd Canolfan Llywodraethiant Cymru fod y camau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi eu cymryd yn llawer iawn mwy hael yn y cymorth yr ydym ni wedi gallu ei gasglu nag unrhyw Lywodraeth arall ar draws y Deyrnas Unedig. Byddwn yn gwneud yn siŵr, er enghraifft, fod y £150 sydd ar gael i helpu pobl gyda'u treth gyngor yn mynd i bawb a ddylai dalu'r dreth gyngor, pa un a ydyn nhw'n talu bil ai peidio, ac felly bydd yr arian hwnnw yn cyrraedd y rhai sydd ei angen fwyaf. Yr wythnos diwethaf darparodd y Gweinidog addysg £100 yn ychwanegol i deuluoedd dalu cost y diwrnod ysgol. Bydd yr arian hwnnw yn aros ym mhocedi'r teuluoedd hynny a bydd ar gael i'w helpu gyda'r costau eraill y maen nhw'n eu hwynebu yn awr. Ac mae hynny heb sôn am y cymorth yr ydym ni wedi ei roi gyda biliau tanwydd - £200 i deuluoedd yn ystod y gaeaf hwn, a mwy i ddod yn ddiweddarach eleni. Wrth gwrs, byddem ni'n hoffi pe gallem ni wneud mwy, ond Llywodraeth y DU sy'n gyfrifol am y rhwymedigaeth sylfaenol. Y Canghellor sydd â'r ysgogiadau mawr hynny, y system dreth a budd-daliadau, sy'n gyrru cymorth i bobl sy'n byw ar fudd-daliadau sylfaenol neu mewn gwaith â chyflog isel. Dyna oedd methiant datganiad y gwanwyn, ac mae'n fethiant a ddangosodd Ganghellor a oedd yn barod i wastraffu yn ddidrugaredd gyfle i helpu, yn fy marn i.
