English: Diolch, Llywydd. Today I want to update you on our plans to extend the coverage of high-speed broadband following the end of the build phase of the Superfast Cymru project. Through Superfast Cymru, we have fundamentally altered the broadband landscape in Wales, bringing superfast broadband to areas of Wales that simply would not have been connected. Since the project began in 2013, the availability of superfast broadband across Wales has more than doubled thanks directly to this project and to our investment. The latest Ofcom report shows that Wales now has the highest availability of superfast broadband - over 30 Mbps - amongst the devolved nations despite the obvious challenges that our topography presents in the roll-out of broadband networks. We must not lose sight of the significant achievement that this large scale engineering project represents. Homes and businesses the length and breadth of Wales are now enjoying the benefits of this investment and accessing digital services.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Hoffwn i heddiw roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf ichi am ein cynlluniau i ymestyn cwmpas band eang cyflym yn dilyn diwedd cyfnod adeiladu prosiect Cyflymu Cymru. Drwy Cyflymu Cymru, rydym wedi newid y tirlun band eang yn sylfaenol yng Nghymru, gan ddod â band eang cyflym iawn i ardaloedd yng Nghymru na fyddai wedi eu cysylltu o gwbl fel arall. Ers i'r prosiect ddechrau yn 2013, mae'r band eang cyflym iawn sydd ar gael ledled Cymru wedi mwy na dyblu yn uniongyrchol oherwydd y prosiect hwn a'n buddsoddiad ni. Mae adroddiad diweddaraf Ofcom yn dangos mai Cymru erbyn hyn sydd â'r argaeledd uchaf o fand eang cyflym iawn - dros 30 Mbps - o blith y gwledydd datganoledig er gwaethaf heriau amlwg ein topograffi wrth gyflwyno rhwydweithiau band eang. Mae'n rhaid i ni beidio â cholli golwg ar gyflawniad sylweddol y prosiect peirianneg mawr hwn. Mae cartrefi a busnesau ar hyd a lled Cymru erbyn hyn yn elwa ar fanteision y buddsoddiad hwn ac yn defnyddio gwasanaethau digidol.
English: Minister, you were right to say that this is a key utility and we should acknowledge that without the direct market intervention of the Welsh Government thousands of my constituents would be now without broadband. But of course there remain the frustrations of those who are left behind. I had a lively public meeting on Friday night in the community of Bynea just outside Llanelli, where there is palpable frustration at the way they've been treated. You mentioned earlier that, when people are buying their homes, they should check first that they are going to be connected. People in Bynea did check, and they were told it would be connected. They have screenshots, they have e-mails from Openreach right up until the end of December with a date saying that this was going to be connected, only to be told that that is not now going to happen, with the maddening explanation for some of them that they've been connected to the Swansea exchange, not the Llanelli exchange, which was being enabled and which just defies all common sense. I welcome the schemes that the Minister has set out. Can I ask her specifically if she could look at the case of my constituents in Bynea and work with me to see what can be done to help them, because I really do think they've been treated very shabbily indeed?
Welsh: Gweinidog, roeddech chi'n iawn i ddweud bod hwn yn un o'r cyfleustodau allweddol, a dylem ni gydnabod y byddai miloedd o'm hetholwyr, heb ymyrraeth marchnad uniongyrchol gan Lywodraeth Cymru, heb fand eang ar hyn o bryd. Ond wrth gwrs mae'r rheini sydd wedi'u gadael ar ôl yn dal i fod yn rhwystredig. Cefais gyfarfod cyhoeddus bywiog nos Wener yng nghymuned y Bynie ger Llanelli, lle mae yna rwystredigaeth amlwg am y ffordd y maen nhw wedi cael eu trin. Soniasoch chi'n gynharach, pan fydd pobl yn prynu eu cartrefi, y dylen nhw wirio'n gyntaf y bydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad. Fe wnaeth pobl yn y Bynie wirio, a dywedwyd wrthyn nhw y byddai yna gysylltiad. Mae ganddyn nhw sgrinluniau, mae ganddyn nhw negeseuon e-bost gan Openreach hyd at ddiwedd mis Rhagfyr a dyddiad yn dweud y byddai'n cael ei gysylltu, dim ond i gael gwybod na fyddai bellach yn digwydd, gydag esboniad pryfoclyd i rhai ohonyn nhw eu bod wedi'u cysylltu â chyfnewidfa Abertawe, nid cyfnewidfa Llanelli, a oedd yn cael ei galluogi ac sy'n mynd yn groes i bob synnwyr cyffredin. Rwy'n croesawu'r cynlluniau a nodwyd gan y Gweinidog. A gaf i ofyn iddi'n benodol a wnaiff hi ystyried achos fy etholwyr yn y Bynie a gweithio gyda mi i weld beth y gellir ei wneud i'w helpu, oherwydd rwyf wir yn credu eu bod nhw wedi cael eu trin yn wael iawn?
English: The Member makes some very valid points, and I've rehearsed in this Chamber many times the frustration of people who are left at the end of the superfast project. The connection was always scheduled, never promised, but, nevertheless, after something's been scheduled for a very long period of time it can feel very much like a promise. I'm not trying to get out of that on a semantic point, but it is a very important point the Member makes. I'm more than happy to either come with him to the community or to explore as a paper solution what can be done for a specific community there. There are some issues around connections to which particular exchange, and if it's a fibre-to-the-cabinet connection via the copper networks then one of the difficulties has been that BT has not reconfigured its copper network in order to have the broadband roll-out, and that's one of the things we are also - . Many people have brought this up with me over the years and that is something we are trying to address in these next three lots. But there is a big issue about the UK Government's approach and Ofcom's approach to the BT copper network and what needs to be done to reconfigure that in order to facilitate some of the broadband connections as well. But I'm more than happy to come and talk to the community in question.
Welsh: Mae'r Aelod yn gwneud rhai pwyntiau dilys iawn, ac rwyf wedi ailadrodd droeon yn y Siambr hon rwystredigaeth pobl sy'n cael eu gadael ar ddiwedd y prosiect cyflym iawn. Roedd y cysylltiad wedi'i amserlennu, ond nid ei addo, ond, serch hynny, ar ôl amserlennu rhywbeth am gyfnod hir iawn o amser gall hynny deimlo'n debyg iawn i addewid. Nid wyf yn ceisio esgusodi fy hun drwy ddefnyddio semanteg, ond mae'n bwynt pwysig iawn y mae'r Aelod yn ei wneud. Rwy'n fwy na pharod i ddod gydag ef i'r gymuned neu i ystyried, fel ateb ar bapur, beth y gellir ei wneud ar gyfer y gymuned benodol yn y fan yna. Ceir rhai problemau o ran â pha gyfnewidfa benodol y mae'r cysylltiad, ac os yw'n gysylltiad ffeibr i'r cabinet drwy rwydweithiau copr yna un o'r anawsterau yw nad yw BT wedi ad-drefnu ei rwydwaith copr er mwyn cyflwyno band eang, a dyna un o'r pethau yr ydym ni hefyd - . Mae llawer o bobl wedi codi hyn gyda mi dros y blynyddoedd ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth yr ydym ni'n ceisio mynd i'r afael ag ef yn y lotiau nesaf. Ond mae yna broblem fawr ynghylch ymagwedd Llywodraeth y DU ac ymagwedd Ofcom at rhwydwaith copr BT a'r hyn sydd angen ei wneud i ad-drefnu hwnnw er mwyn hwyluso rhai o'r cysylltiadau band eang hefyd. Ond rwy'n fwy na pharod i ddod i siarad â'r gymuned dan sylw.
English: Thank you very much. I will just now very gently remind the next set of speakers that it should be a very short statement before you ask your question. Paul Davies.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Fe wnaf i yn awr atgoffa'r gyfres nesaf o siaradwyr yn garedig y dylai fod yn ddatganiad byr iawn cyn i chi ofyn eich cwestiwn. Paul Davies.
English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. It'll come as no surprise to the leader of the house that I, too, continue to receive representations from constituents regarding the lack of delivery when it comes to broadband services. I have whole villages in my constituency, like Mynachlog-ddu, for example, where some infrastructure has been upgraded, but not completed. I know that other Members have made reference to this today. I note from your statement that you intend to explore how you can support the completion of these infrastructure projects, so can you give my constituents, like the ones living in Mynachlog-ddu, reassurance that they will receive the broadband services they deserve? And what mechanisms will the Welsh Government be using to make sure that these services are actually being delivered on time or within acceptable timescales? Finally, Deputy Presiding Officer, could the leader of the house tell us what specific criteria will be used to determine the areas that will be targeted under this new successor scheme she's announced today, especially when she receives the latest data around the number of premises that have not been connected through Superfast Cymru?
Welsh: Diolch ichi, Dirprwy Lywydd. Bydd hi ddim yn syndod i arweinydd y tŷ, fy mod innau, hefyd, yn parhau i gael gwybod gan etholwyr am ddiffyg cyflawni ym maes gwasanaethau band eang. Mae gen i bentrefi cyfan yn fy etholaeth i, fel Mynachlog-ddu, er enghraifft, lle mae peth o'r seilwaith wedi'i uwchraddio, ond heb ei gwblhau. Gwn fod Aelodau eraill wedi cyfeirio at hyn heddiw. Sylwaf o'ch datganiad eich bod yn bwriadu archwilio sut y gallwch gefnogi cwblhau'r prosiectau seilwaith hyn, felly a allwch chi roi sicrwydd i fy etholwyr i, fel y rhai sy'n byw yn Mynachlog-ddu, y byddan nhw'n cael y gwasanaethau band eang y maen nhw'n eu haeddu? A pha ddulliau y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu defnyddio i wneud yn siŵr bod y gwasanaethau hyn yn cael eu cyflenwi ar amser, mewn gwirionedd, ac o fewn amserlenni derbyniol? Yn olaf, Dirprwy Lywydd, a wnaiff arweinydd y tŷ ddweud wrthym ni pa feini prawf penodol a ddefnyddir i benderfynu pa ardaloedd fydd yn cael eu targedu o dan y cynllun olynol newydd hwn y mae hi wedi ei gyhoeddi heddiw, yn enwedig pan fydd yn derbyn y data diweddaraf ynghylch nifer y safleoedd sydd heb eu cysylltu drwy Cyflymu Cymru?
English: I'm not going to repeat everything said, but I do welcome the progress, and I'm even old enough to remember the dial-up system in the 1990s. But we did have Openreach at committee stage last week, and I raised the issue about what constitutes a business model for them in terms of new properties. The answer I got was 30 properties. We all know that in rural areas, that in itself is now going to be the problem of the future. So, to that end, I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary what conversations you're having with planning authorities, when they're giving planning permission for new builds, and at what point - and I asked this of Openreach - they're looking ahead in terms of new developments, so that we can already track progress in this when it comes to new builds. Because it has to be treated like any other utility is treated, and I look forward to that. The reason I ask that is because, in the rural areas where we have a minimum of 30 properties being considered as investment by Openreach, there is a risk of further depopulation of those communities that are already being depopulated because of access to services.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn mynd i ailadrodd popeth a ddywedwyd, ond rwy'n croesawu'r datblygiadau, ac rwyf hyd yn oed yn ddigon hen i gofio y system ddeialu yn y 1990au. Ond daeth Openreach i'r pwyllgor yr wythnos diwethaf, a chodais y mater ynglŷn â beth yw model busnes iddyn nhw o ran eiddo newydd. Yr ateb a gefais oedd 30 eiddo. Rydym ni i gyd yn gwybod, mewn ardaloedd gwledig, bydd hynny ynddo'i hun yn broblem yn y dyfodol. Felly, i'r perwyl hwnnw, rwyf eisiau gofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet pa sgyrsiau ydych chi'n eu cael ag awdurdodau cynllunio, pan fyddan nhw'n rhoi caniatâd cynllunio ar gyfer adeiladau newydd, ac ar ba bwynt - a gofynais hyn i Openreach - y maen nhw'n edrych i'r dyfodol o ran datblygiadau newydd, er mwyn i ni allu olrhain cynnydd eisoes yn hyn ym maes adeiladau newydd. Oherwydd mae'n rhaid ei drin yn yr un modd ag y caiff unrhyw un o'r cyfleustodau eraill eu trin, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at hynny. Y rheswm yr wyf yn gofyn yw oherwydd, yn yr ardaloedd gwledig lle mae gennym o leiaf 30 eiddo yn cael eu hystyried yn fuddsoddiad gan Openreach, mae perygl o ddiboblogi pellach yn y cymunedau hynny sydd eisoes yn cael eu diboblogi oherwydd mynediad at wasanaethau.
English: I will keep this very brief, Deputy Presiding Officer -
Welsh: Fe wnaf gadw hyn yn fyr iawn, Dirprwy Lywydd -
English: You will indeed.
Welsh: Byddwch wir.
English: - because I can see you've got that glint in your eye. Two quick questions - [ Interruption.] That was a compliment, sort of.
Welsh: - oherwydd rwy'n gallu gweld bod gennych chi'r olwg yna yn eich llygaid. Dau gwestiwn cyflym - [ Torri ar draws.] Roedd hwnnw'n ganmoliaeth, o ryw fath.
English: Rather backhanded.
Welsh: Braidd yn ffuantus.
English: Firstly, leader of the house, a success - . A positive start. A success with a constituent from near Newcastle - not the Newcastle, a Newcastle just north of Monmouth - who has faced a long delay with accessing a fibre to the premises connection, which I know is complex. It turned out that the reason for the delay in that connection was that the records that were being kept by BT broadband were wrong, and that they thought that he couldn't actually receive it. But it turns out that he could get it, so his frustration was unnecessary. Can you tell us how you're going to deal with those sort of problems in future? Because, if we are able, if constituents are able to receive broadband, it's even more frustrating if, after they get it, they discover they could have had it all along. Secondly, and finally, your visits and your tours of the deepest, darkest rural parts of Monmouthshire aside, there is a perception that Monmouthshire, along with some other rural areas, is often at the back of BT's broadband queue, certainly when it comes to supplying superfast. I think in Monmouthshire the figure is 20 per cent below target at the end of the first programme. Can you tell us what you're going to do stop this happening with future phases? Basically, you've heard this criticism from AMs, now, over many months and years, and it's clear that we'd like to see the next phase managed by BT a little bit better than it has been in the past.
Welsh: Yn gyntaf, arweinydd y tŷ, llwyddiant - . Cychwyn cadarnhaol. Llwyddiant gydag etholwr o Gastell-newydd, ychydig i'r gogledd o Drefynwy - sydd wedi wynebu oedi hir wrth gael mynediad at gysylltiad ffeibr i'r safle, ac rwy'n gwybod bod hynny'n gymhleth. Gwelwyd mai'r rheswm am yr oedi yn y cysylltiad hwnnw oedd bod y cofnodion a oedd yn cael eu cadw gan wasanaethau band eang BT yn anghywir, a'u bod yn meddwl na allai ef ei gael mewn gwirionedd. Ond mae'n ymddangos ei fod yn gallu ei gael, felly roedd ei rwystredigaeth yn ddiangen. A allwch chi ddweud wrthym ni sut rydych chi'n mynd i ymdrin â'r mathau hyn o broblemau yn y dyfodol? Oherwydd, os ydym ni'n gallu, os yw etholwyr yn gallu derbyn band eang, mae hi hyd yn oed yn fwy rhwystredig os, ar ôl iddyn nhw ei gael, eu bod yn darganfod y gallen nhw fod wedi ei gael ar hyd yr amser. Yn ail, ac yn olaf, heblaw am eich ymweliadau a'ch teithiau i rannau gwledig dyfnaf, tywyllaf Sir Fynwy, ceir canfyddiad bod Sir Fynwy, ynghyd â rhai ardaloedd gwledig eraill, yn aml yng nghefn y ciw ar gyfer band eang BT, yn sicr o ran cyflenwi band eang cyflym iawn. Rwy'n credu yn Sir Fynwy bod y ffigur 20 y cant islaw'r targed ar ddiwedd y rhaglen gyntaf. A wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni beth rydych chi'n mynd i'w wneud i atal hyn rhag digwydd gyda chamau yn y dyfodol? Yn y bôn, rydych chi wedi clywed y feirniadaeth hon gan Aelodau'r Cynulliad, nawr, ers misoedd a blynyddoedd lawer, ac mae'n amlwg yr hoffem weld y cam nesaf yn cael ei reoli ychydig yn well gan BT nag a wnaed yn y gorffennol.
English: I won't revisit the cases and concerns I raised with you in committee last week. However, how much of the £80 million that you've committed to the successor programme to Superfast Cymru do you anticipate coming from the refund from BT linked to their achieving targets under the clawback clause you have with them? And how certain are you that the money you're anticipating will come back to you?
Welsh: Ni fyddaf yn ailedrych ar yr achosion a'r pryderon a godais gyda chi yn y Pwyllgor yr wythnos ddiwethaf. Serch hynny, pa gyfran o'r £80 miliwn a ymrwymwyd i'r rhaglen fydd yn olynu Cyflymu Cymru yr ydych yn ei rhagweld fydd yn dod o'r ad-daliad gan BT sy'n gysylltiedig â chyflawniad eu targedau dan y cymal adfachu sydd gennych chi â nhw? A pha mor sicr yr ydych y bydd yr arian yr ydych chi'n ei ddisgwyl yn dod yn ôl i chi?
English: Well, we're not - . We're not - . We're projecting the gainshare on the amount of take-up that we have, so we know exactly what that will be. And, as I keep enjoining Members, if you can get more people to connect, then I'll get more money. But I'm not spending money in anticipation of that; we're spending the money we know we have because we know what the percentage connection is. As that percentage connection rises, that money will rise, and we've committed to put that money into this programme and not elsewhere. We're not obligated to do that but we have committed to do that, and so we will be doing that. In terms of the percentages, I don't have those in front of me, but, as we let the contracts, I will be putting a statement to the Senedd saying what we're doing on the contract letting, and that will become clear.
Welsh: Wel, nid ydym - . Nid ydym - . Rydym yn rhagweld cyfran yr hyn a enillir ar sail maint y defnydd, fel ein bod yn gwybod yn union beth fydd hynny. Ac, fel yr wyf i'n parhau i siarsio'r Aelodau, os cewch ragor o bobl yn cysylltu, yna caf ragor o arian. Ond nid wyf yn gwario arian gan ddisgwyl hynny; rydym yn gwario'r arian y gwyddom sydd gennym oherwydd ein bod yn gwybod beth yw'r cysylltiad canrannol. Wrth i'r cysylltiad canrannol hwnnw gynyddu, bydd yr arian hwnnw'n codi, ac rydym wedi ymrwymo i roi'r arian hwnnw i'r rhaglen hon ac nid i fan arall. Nid oes raid inni wneud hynny, ond rydym wedi ymrwymo i wneud hynny, ac felly byddwn yn gwneud hynny. O ran y canrannau, nid yw'r rheini gennyf yma o'm blaen, ond, wrth inni osod y contractau, byddaf yn rhoi datganiad i'r Senedd yn nodi'r hyn yr ydym yn ei wneud o ran gosod y contractau, a daw hynny'n glir.
English: Item 5 on the agenda this afternoon is a statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Education on securing the right to a suitable education for all children. I invite Kirsty Williams, the Cabinet Secretary for Education, to make that statement.
Welsh: Eitem 5 ar yr agenda y prynhawn yma yw datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg ar ddiogelu'r hawl i bob plentyn gael addysg addas. Rwy'n gwahodd Kirsty Williams, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, i wneud y datganiad hwnnw.
English: Thank you very much. And thank you, Cabinet Secretary. Item 6, the Land Transaction Tax (Transitional Provisions) (Wales) Regulations 2018, and item 7, the Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Act 2017 (Amendment to Schedule 5) Regulations 2018 - in accordance with Standing Order 12.24, I propose the following two motions, item 6 and item 7, are grouped for debate. Does any Member object? No. Good, because I couldn't read them all out again. [ Laughter.]
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. A diolch i chi, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Eitem 6, Rheoliadau Treth Trafodiadau Tir (Darpariaethau Trosiannol) (Cymru) 2018, ac eitem 7, Rheoliadau Treth Trafodiadau Tir a Deddf Gwrthweithio Osgoi Trethi Datganoledig (Cymru) 2017 (Diwygio Atodlen 5) 2018 - yn unol â Rheol Sefydlog 12.24, rwy'n cynnig bod y ddau gynnig canlynol, eitem 6 ac eitem 7, yn cael eu rhoi gyda'i gilydd ar gyfer y ddadl. A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu? Na. Da iawn, oherwydd ni allwn eu darllen nhw i gyd eto. [ Chwerthin.]
English: Can I call on the Cabinet Secretary for Finance to move the motions? Mark Drakeford.
Welsh: A gaf i alw ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid i wneud y cynigion? Mark Drakeford.
English: Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. Last Friday, I agreed with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury that enough preparatory work had been done to enable the UK Government to arrange that stamp duty land tax and landfill tax will no longer be operational in Wales at the end of next March. That will allow us to introduce the first Welsh devolved taxes for centuries. The Treasury will now lay the necessary Orders. Therefore, the regulations before the Assembly this afternoon try to create the situation that Welsh taxpayers will face from this April onwards. I would like to put on record my thanks to the Finance Committee and the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee for their work in considering the regulations. Under this item on the agenda, I will be introducing two sets of regulations for land transaction tax.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr, Dirprwy Lywydd. Ddydd Gwener diwethaf fe wnes i gytuno â Phrif Ysgrifennydd y Trysorlys fod digon o waith paratoi wedi cael ei wneud i alluogi Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig i drefnu na fydd treth dir y dreth stamp na'r dreth gwarediadau tirlenwi yn weithredol ar ôl diwedd mis Mawrth nesaf. Bydd hynny'n caniatáu inni gyflwyno'r trethi Cymreig datganoledig cyntaf ers canrifoedd. Bydd y Trysorlys nawr yn gosod y Gorchmynion angenrheidiol. Felly, mae'r rheoliadau sydd gerbron y Cynulliad y prynhawn yma yn ceisio creu'r sefyllfa y bydd trethdalwyr Cymru yn ei hwynebu o fis Ebrill eleni ymlaen. Hoffwn gofnodi fy niolch i'r Pwyllgor Cyllid ac i'r Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol am eu gwaith yn ystyried y rheoliadau. O dan yr eitem agenda hon byddaf i'n cyflwyno dwy set o reoliadau ar gyfer y dreth trafodiadau tir.
