English: Thank you very much. I hope that you won't be like John Redwood, taking pride in the fact that we would be sending Welsh funding back to the Treasury. The second question: tree planting on farmland. Another important issue for our rural communities is plans for tree planting on farmland. Recently, I met with representatives from Myddfai Community Council in Carmarthenshire and some local farmers in that area to hear increasing evidence of whole farms, as much as 300 acres, being purchased by rich businesspeople and major international companies for the planting of trees for carbon offsetting. And they gave me examples of farms in Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and south Powys that have recently been purchased for this end. And it seems that Glastir funding is being used to support these plans. In one case, this had prevented a young farmer, who had intended to return and buy land close to the family farm, and he was prevented from doing that because this farm had been bought for carbon-offsetting purposes. Now, I am sure you would agree with me that once our family farms are lost and covered in trees, they won't be returned to agricultural usage. And this is a disaster, of course, not just for food production in Wales, but also for the sustainability of our rural communities, as it leads to more rural depopulation and a damaging impact on the sustainability of our rural schools and public services in rural areas too. Nobody doubts the importance of tree planting in delivering against our environmental policies, but we must do this while safeguarding the viability of our agricultural businesses. So, the question for the Minister is this: do you agree with me that it is entirely absurd that companies and wealthy people from outside of Wales, for example, can get hold of farming support payments through the Glastir scheme to plant trees when that policy should ensure that the funding remains in Wales? And will the Government ensure that it's only active farmers who can access support payments through this scheme and that we cap the percentage of farm acres that can be allocated for tree planting and that planning permission is needed in order to do so? Thank you.
Welsh: Iawn. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Rwy'n gobeithio byddwch chi ddim fel John Redwood yn ymfalchïo yn y ffaith ein bod ni'n anfon arian Cymru yn ôl i'r Trysorlys. Yr ail gwestiwn: plannu coed ar dir fferm. Mater pwysig arall i'n cymunedau gwledig yw cynlluniau plannu coed ar dir fferm. Yn ddiweddar, fe gwrddais i â chynrychiolwyr o Gyngor Cymuned Myddfai yn sir Gâr a rhai o'r ffermwyr lleol o'r ardal honno i glywed tystiolaeth gynyddol o ffermydd cyfan, cymaint â 300 erw, yn cael eu prynu gan bobl fusnes cyfoethog a chwmnïau rhyngwladol mawr ar gyfer plannu coed ar gyfer carbon offsetting. Ac roedden nhw'n rhoi enghreifftiau i fi o ffermydd yn sir Gâr, Ceredigion a de Powys sydd wedi cael eu prynu yn ddiweddar at y pwrpas yma. Ac mae'n debyg bod arian cynllun Glastir yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi'r cynlluniau, ac mewn un achos roedd hyn wedi atal ffermwr ifanc oedd wedi bwriadu symud yn ôl i brynu tir drws nesaf i fferm y teulu, roedd e wedi cael ei atal rhag gwneud hyn oherwydd bod y fferm yma wedi cael ei phrynu at bwrpas carbon offsetting. Rwy'n siwr eich bod chi'n cytuno, unwaith y bydd ein ffermydd teuluol fel hyn wedi cael eu colli a'u gorchuddio gan goed, fyddan nhw ddim yn cael eu dychwelyd i ddefnydd amaeth. Ac mae hyn yn drychineb wrth gwrs, nid yn unig i gynhyrchu bwyd yng Nghymru ond hefyd i gynaliadwyedd ein cymunedau gwledig, wrth iddo arwain at fwy o ddiboblogi gwledig ac effaith niweidiol ar gynaliadwyedd ein hysgolion gwledig a gwasanaethau gwledig yn ogystal. Nawr does neb yn amau pwysigrwydd plannu coed, wrth gwrs, i gyflawni ein polisïau amgylcheddol, ond rhaid gwneud hyn tra'n diogelu hyfywedd ein busnesau amaethyddol. Felly, y cwestiwn i'r Gweinidog yw hwn: a ydych chi'n cytuno â mi, felly, ei bod hi'n gwbl hurt bod cwmnïau a chyfoethogion o'r tu allan i Gymru, er enghraifft, yn gallu cael gafael ar daliadau cymorth ffermio drwy'r cynllun Glastir i blannu coed pan ddylai'r polisi hwnnw sicrhau bod yr arian yn aros yng Nghymru? Ac a ydy'r Llywodraeth yn fodlon sicrhau mai dim ond ffermwyr actif sy'n gallu cael gafael ar daliadau cymorth trwy'r cynllun hwn a bod angen capio canran yr erwau fferm y gellir eu neilltuo ar gyfer plannu coed a bod angen caniatâd cynllunio ar gyfer gwneud hynny? Diolch yn fawr.
