English: Of those using public transport, 80 per cent use buses. In rural areas, such as parts of my constituency in Arfon, there are no trains available, and the bus is the only option for people without cars to travel to work and to access crucial services. But the truth is that we need to transform bus services in rural areas, and Plaid Cymru wants to give far more power to local councils so that they can arrange appropriate services, in collaboration with local bus companies. There are some communities who have expressed a desire to have an integrated transport system, which would include using hydrogen and electric vehicles in order to fill some of the gaps in current services. So, what practical support can you as First Minister give for pilot schemes of that kind?
Welsh: O blith pawb sydd yn defnyddio cludiant cyhoeddus, mae 80 y cant yn defnyddio bysiau. Mewn ardaloedd gwledig, fel rhannau o f'etholaeth i yn Arfon, nid oes trenau ar gael a mynd ar y bws ydy'r ffordd i bobl sydd heb geir deithio i'w gwaith ac i gyrraedd at wasanaethau hanfodol. Ond y gwir ydy, mae angen trawsnewid gwasanaethau bysiau gwledig, ac mae Plaid Cymru eisiau rhoi llawer mwy o rym i gynghorau lleol fel eu bod nhw'n gallu trefnu gwasanaethau addas, ar y cyd â chwmnïau bysus lleol. Mae yna rai cymunedau hefyd wedi datgan awydd i dreialu system integredig a fyddai'n cynnwys defnyddio cerbydau trydan a hydrogen i lenwi rhai o'r bylchau yn y gwasanaethau presennol. Pa gymorth ymarferol y gallwch chi fel Prif Weinidog ei roi tuag at gynlluniau peilot o'r math yna?
English: Well, of course, we are open to looking at bids that would come from local authorities. But one thing I would say is that it's all-important to ensure that local authorities collaborate with each other because the fact of the matter is that people don't just travel in one county; they travel from one to another. So, cross-boundary services should receive the same kind of attention as those in-county. But, of course, we wish to work with the local authorities and also the bus companies to ensure that the system is more sustainable ultimately.
Welsh: Wel, wrth gwrs, rydym ni'n agored i weld pa fath o fìd fyddai'n dod o unrhyw awdurdod lleol. Un peth y byddwn i yn ei ddweud yw ei bod hi'n hollbwysig sicrhau bod yr awdurdodau'n gweithio gyda'i gilydd, achos, wrth gwrs, y gwir yw nad yw pobl ond yn teithio y tu fewn i un sir; maen nhw'n teithio o le i le. So, byddai'n hollbwysig sicrhau bod y gwasanaethau sydd yn mynd ar draws ffiniau yn cael yr un sylw â'r rheini sydd y tu fewn i sir hefyd. Ond, wrth gwrs, rŷm ni'n moyn gweithio gydag awdurdodau lleol a hefyd gyda chwmnïau bysiau er mwyn sicrhau bod y system yn fwy cynaliadwy yn y pen draw.
English: There is a need, I think, to look at how rural bus services are delivered because they'll never be run commercially, of course. Now, Welsh Government and local authority operators, I believe, need to come together to form a partnership, and that partnership doesn't exist at the moment. Can Welsh Government take a leading role in forming such a partnership?
Welsh: Mae angen, rwy'n credu, ystyried sut y mae gwasanaethau bysiau gwledig yn cael eu darparu oherwydd ni fyddant byth yn cael eu rhedeg yn fasnachol, wrth gwrs. Nawr, mae angen i Lywodraeth Cymru a gweithredwyr awdurdod lleol, rwy'n credu, ddod at ei gilydd i ffurfio partneriaeth, ac nid yw'r bartneriaeth honno'n bodoli ar hyn o bryd. A all Llywodraeth Cymru chwarae rhan flaenllaw i ffurfio partneriaeth o'r fath?
English: Well, one of the difficulties, of course, is that we have seen bus companies collapse and, as a result, services see a break. Quite often, of course, they are reprovided by another provider. We have seen Arriva, for example, pull out of all of Ceredigion, in effect, despite the fact they operated the bus services there and, of course, new companies did come forward. But, again, there was uncertainty and, again, there was a potential gap in service. Now, we consulted, as he will know, last year on proposals that would strengthen the arrangements for the planning and delivery of local bus services in the future and, of course, we will need to look over the next few years at how we are able to ensure a continuity of service where that service is not subsidised and where, of course, the private operator can do however they want. Now, that clearly is not a sustainable model for the future, but now that we have the powers that we've asked for for so long over the bus network, there's an exciting opportunity to craft a more integrated and sustainable network in the future.
Welsh: Wel, un o'r anawsterau, wrth gwrs, yw ein bod ni wedi gweld cwmnïau bysiau yn mynd i'r wal ac, o ganlyniad, ceir toriad mewn gwasanaethau. Yn aml iawn, wrth gwrs, cânt eu hail-ddarparu gan ddarparwr arall. Rydym ni wedi gweld Arriva, er enghraifft, yn tynnu allan o Geredigion gyfan, i bob pwrpas, er gwaethaf y ffaith eu bod nhw'n gweithredu'r gwasanaethau bysiau yno ac, wrth gwrs, daeth cwmnïau newydd ymlaen. Ond, unwaith eto, roedd ansicrwydd ac, unwaith eto, roedd bwlch posibl yn y gwasanaeth. Nawr, cynhaliwyd ymgynghoriad gennym y llynedd, fel y gwyr ef, ar gynigion a fyddai'n cryfhau'r trefniadau ar gyfer cynllunio a darparu gwasanaethau bws lleol yn y dyfodol ac, wrth gwrs, bydd angen i ni ystyried dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd nesaf sut y gallwn ni sicrhau parhad gwasanaeth lle nad oes cymhorthdal i'r gwasanaeth hwnnw a lle, wrth gwrs, y gall y gweithredwr preifat ei ddarparu ym mha fodd bynnag y mae'n dymuno. Nawr, mae'n amlwg nad yw hwnnw'n fodel cynaliadwy ar gyfer y dyfodol, ond nawr bod gennym ni'r pwerau yr ydym ni wedi gofyn amdanynt ers gymaint o amser dros y rhwydwaith bysiau, ceir cyfle cyffrous i lunio rhwydwaith mwy integredig a chynaliadwy yn y dyfodol.
English: The advances in technology have got huge potential to improve the passenger experience and improve the viability of buses. The Welsh Government have been funding the Bwcabus project in Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, which has used a demand-responsive model to make public transport viable in smaller routes. That sort of approach, merged with app-based technology, has got huge potential. Anybody who's booked a taxi by an app knows that you can order a time, you can know the price, you know how long it's going to take. Would the First Minister look at how that sort of technology could be applied to buses right across Wales to make public transport a viable day-to-day option for people?
Welsh: Ceir potensial enfawr i'r datblygiadau mewn technoleg wella profiad teithwyr a gwella dichonoldeb bysiau. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn ariannu'r prosiect Bwcabus yng Ngheredigion a sir Gaerfyrddin, sydd wedi defnyddio model sy'n ymateb i'r galw i wneud cludiant cyhoeddus yn ddichonol ar lwybrau llai. Ceir potensial mawr i'r math hwnnw o ddull, wedi ei gyfuno â thechnoleg ap. Mae unrhyw un sydd wedi archebu tacsi trwy ap yn gwybod y gallwch chi drefnu amser, y gallwch chi ddarganfod y pris, eich bod chi'n gwybod pa mor hir y mae'n mynd i'w gymryd. A wnaiff y Prif Weinidog ystyried sut y gellid cymhwyso'r math hwnnw o dechnoleg i fysiau ledled Cymru i wneud cludiant cyhoeddus yn ddewis ymarferol i bobl o ddydd i ddydd?
English: Yes, I do. In many rural areas, as the Member is right to say, Bwcabus has been hugely important in terms of being able to provide public transport where otherwise none would be made available. As we see technology develop, as he rightly says, then there is the opportunity to increase flexibility, to have a better idea of where demand is at particular times of day and, of course, for people to be sure that a bus will turn up when they need that bus. It's a blurring in some ways of the distinction between a bus service and a taxi service, in some parts of Wales. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as it creates that kind of flexibility, and I think he's absolutely right to say that, with technology now, there is ample opportunity for us to extend more flexible bus services into parts of Wales that perhaps haven't seen a bus service for many, many years.
Welsh: Gwnaf, mi wnaf. Mewn llawer o ardaloedd gwledig, fel y mae'r Aelod yn ei ddweud yn gywir, mae Bwcabus wedi bod yn eithriadol o bwysig o ran gallu darparu cludiant cyhoeddus pan na fyddai ar gael fel arall. Wrth i ni weld technoleg yn datblygu, fel y dywed yn gywir, yna ceir cyfle i gynyddu hyblygrwydd, i gael gwell syniad o ble mae'r galw ar adegau penodol o'r dydd ac, wrth gwrs, i bobl fod yn siŵr y bydd bws yn cyrraedd pan fydd angen y bws hwnnw arnyn nhw. Mae'n cymylu mewn rhai ffyrdd y gwahaniaeth rhwng gwasanaethau bws a gwasanaeth tacsi, mewn rhai rhannau o Gymru. Nid yw hynny o reidrwydd yn beth gwael, gan ei fod yn creu'r math hwnnw o hyblygrwydd, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn llygad ei le i ddweud, gyda thechnoleg nawr, bod digon o gyfle i ni ymestyn gwasanaethau bws mwy hyblyg i rannau o Gymru efallai nad ydynt wedi gweld gwasanaeth bws ers blynyddoedd maith.
English: Questions now from the party leaders, and the leader of the opposition first, Paul Davies.
Welsh: Cwestiynau nawr gan arweinwyr y pleidiau, ac arweinydd yr wrthblaid yn gyntaf, Paul Davies.
English: Yes, I do.
Welsh: Ydw, mi ydw i.
English: Well, let me remind you, First Minister, that this organisation is, of course, directly accountable to your Government. It's in receipt of £180 million of public money every year, yet they are responsible for a litany of failings, which have significant costs to the public purse. In just five years since its establishment, NRW have had their annual accounts qualified for three consecutive years, and they have undersold Welsh timber without a proper tendering process, resulting in a loss of £1 million to Welsh taxpayers. The public are calling for heads to roll. We need accountability. Has anyone at NRW actually been sacked for these failings?
Welsh: Wel, gadewch i mi eich atgoffa chi, Prif Weinidog, bod y sefydliad hwn, wrth gwrs, yn atebol yn uniongyrchol i'ch Llywodraeth chi. Mae'n cael £180 miliwn o arian cyhoeddus bob blwyddyn, ac eto mae'n gyfrifol am lu o fethiannau, sydd wedi arwain at gostau sylweddol i'r pwrs cyhoeddus. Mewn dim ond pum mlynedd ers ei sefydlu, mae cyfrifon blynyddol Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi cael eu cymhwyso am dair blynedd yn olynol, ac maen nhw wedi gwerthu coed Cymru yn rhy rhad heb broses dendro briodol, gan arwain at golled o £1 filiwn i drethdalwyr Cymru. Mae'r cyhoedd yn galw am ddiswyddiadau. Mae angen atebolrwydd arnom ni. A oes unrhyw un yn Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi ei ddiswyddo am y methiannau hyn?
English: Well, he will know, of course, that the chair has gone, and the next step will be to appoint a new chair. He will know that there is a new chief executive, who has replaced somebody with huge experience, particularly as part of the court service, and it has been to do particularly with the issue of timber contracts, for which there is no rational explanation, and that is something that they have had to explain, in terms of what they plan to do particularly for the future. But I think it's wrong to say that the entire organisation, somehow, isn't fit for purpose. There is no problem, for example, with its permitting regime or the way that it does that, but there clearly has been an issue with timber.
Welsh: Wel, bydd ef yn gwybod, wrth gwrs, bod y cadeirydd wedi mynd, a'r cam nesaf fydd penodi cadeirydd newydd. Bydd yn gwybod bod prif weithredwr newydd, sydd wedi disodli rhywun â phrofiad enfawr, yn enwedig yn rhan o'r gwasanaeth llysoedd, ac roedd yn ymwneud yn benodol â'r mater o gontractau coed, nad oes unrhyw esboniad rhesymegol iddo, ac mae hynny'n rhywbeth y bu'n rhaid iddyn nhw ei egluro, o ran yr hyn y maen nhw'n bwriadu ei wneud yn y dyfodol yn arbennig. Ond credaf ei bod yn anghywir dweud nad yw'r sefydliad cyfan, rywsut, yn addas i'w ddiben. Nid oes unrhyw broblem, er enghraifft, gyda'i drefn drwyddedu na'r ffordd y mae'n gwneud hynny, ond mae'n amlwg y bu problem gyda choed.
English: Well, I put it to you, First Minister, there is a theme here, when it comes to holding public bodies to account, and that's a failure on your Government's part to completely make sure that bodies are held to account and are open and transparent. There is no denying that Natural Resources Wales's finances are a complete mess, and I know that this concern is actually shared by some of your own Assembly Members. Now, what concerns me and others is the impact this financial incompetence will have on our natural resources and the communities that actually depend upon them. Instead of focusing on implementing bans, such as the ban on shooting on NRW land, which actually harms the rural economy, your Government and NRW should be focusing on what it can deliver legally to protect our precious natural resources and the communities that actually rely on them. And instead of washing your hands of this, and given it appears that not one person at NRW has been sacked, the buck stops with you, your Government and your Minister. How is your Minister being held accountable for what's gone wrong?
Welsh: Wel, awgrymaf i chi, Prif Weinidog, bod thema yma, pan ddaw i ddwyn cyrff cyhoeddus i gyfrif, a hynny yw methiant ar ran eich Llywodraeth chi i wneud yn gwbl siŵr bod cyrff yn cael eu dwyn i gyfrif a'u bod yn agored ac yn dryloyw. Ni ellir gwadu bod cyllid Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn llanastr llwyr, a gwn y rhennir y pryder hwn gan rai o'ch Aelodau Cynulliad eich hun. Nawr, yr hyn sy'n peri pryder i mi ac i eraill yw'r effaith y bydd yr anallu ariannol hwn yn ei chael ar ein hadnoddau naturiol a'r cymunedau sy'n dibynnu arnynt. Yn hytrach na chanolbwyntio ar weithredu gwaharddiadau, fel y gwaharddiad ar saethu ar dir Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, sydd mewn gwirionedd yn niweidio'r economi wledig, dylai eich Llywodraeth a Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru fod yn canolbwyntio ar yr hyn y gall ei gyflawni o dan y gyfraith i ddiogelu ein hadnoddau naturiol gwerthfawr a'r cymunedau sy'n dibynnu arnynt. Ac yn lle golchi eich dwylo o hyn, ac o gofio ei bod ymddangos nad oes yr un un person yn Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi cael ei ddiswyddo, chi, eich Llywodraeth a'ch Gweinidog sy'n gyfrifol yn y pen draw. Sut mae eich Gweinidog yn cael ei ddwyn i gyfrif am yr hyn sydd wedi mynd o'i le?
English: So, this is about pheasant shooting now, is it? So, we now understand what this appears to be about. What I can say to him is this: he gives the impression that the same personnel are in place as were there when the timber contracts were dealt with. That's not true. The chair is no longer there. The chief executive is still new in the job. She was appointed earlier this year, and she is somebody with extensive experience of working in public sector organisations. I can say that the Cabinet Secretary has received a clear commitment from the chief executive that she's fully committed to learning lessons - and the organisation will need to - and to making sure NRW makes the necessary improvements to do the right things in the right way. I can say that the chief executive has also given that assurance to the Public Accounts Committee, taking full responsibility for the organisation, and she has an enthusiasm to support staff to bring out the best in them.
Welsh: Mae hyn yn ymwneud â saethu ffesantod nawr felly, ydy e? Rydym ni'n deall nawr yr hyn y mae'n ymddangos ei fod yn ymwneud ag ef, felly. Yr hyn y gallaf ei ddweud wrtho yw hyn: mae'n rhoi'r argraff bod yr un personél yn eu swyddi ag yr oedd yno pan ymdriniwyd â'r contractau coed. Nid yw hynny'n wir. Nid yw'r cadeirydd yno mwyach. Mae'r prif weithredwr yn dal yn newydd yn y swydd. Fe'i penodwyd yn gynharach eleni, ac mae'n rhywun sydd â phrofiad helaeth o weithio mewn sefydliadau'r sector cyhoeddus. Gallaf ddweud bod Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi cael ymrwymiad eglur gan y prif weithredwr ei bod wedi ymrwymo'n llawn i ddysgu gwersi - a bydd angen i'r sefydliad - ac i wneud yn siŵr bod Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn gwneud y gwelliannau angenrheidiol i wneud y pethau iawn yn y ffordd iawn. Gallaf ddweud bod y prif weithredwr wedi rhoi'r sicrwydd hwnnw i'r Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus hefyd, gan gymryd cyfrifoldeb llawn am y sefydliad, ac mae ganddi frwdfrydedd i gynorthwyo'r staff i gael y gorau allan ohonynt.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. First Minister, as the ink begins to dry on last week's resignation letter, the focus is naturally shifting to the legacy you will leave behind: close to a quarter of our people and a third of our children in poverty; life expectancy in reverse and falling quicker than anywhere else in Europe; a flatlining economy, with Wales stuck in perpetuity at the bottom of the league table. Doesn't this epitomise your Government? A poverty of ambition that is the fundamental cause of the poverty of our people. Do you regret leaving behind an economy that even former communist countries are now outstripping?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Prif Weinidog, wrth i'r inc ddechrau sychu ar lythyr ymddiswyddiad yr wythnos diwethaf, mae'r pwyslais yn symud yn naturiol i'r etifeddiaeth y byddwch chi'n ei gadael ar eich ôl: yn agos at chwarter ein pobl a thraean o'n plant mewn tlodi; disgwyliad oes yn symud tuag at yn ôl ac yn gostwng ynghynt nag mewn unman arall yn Ewrop; economi sy'n ddi-fywyd, â Chymru'n sownd ar waelod y tabl cynghrair yn barhaus. Onid yw hyn yn nodweddiadol o'ch Llywodraeth chi? Tlodi mewn uchelgais sef yr achos sylfaenol am dlodi ein pobl. A ydych chi'n gresynu gadael economi y mae hyd yn oed y cyn-wledydd comiwnyddol yn rhagori arni erbyn hyn?
English: Let's agree, in the time that you have left, First Minister, on the terms of trade: I ask the questions and you give the answers. It's your record that's under the focus here. Now, maybe one - I don't know - of your proudest moments was the great unveiling ceremony, when an Aston Martin car was draped in a Welsh flag in front of the Welsh Government's offices in Cathays Park. Now, what you've been less enthusiastic about revealing is precisely how much public money was used in order to secure the company's investment. You were compelled to reveal the £5.8 million initial grant you gave by the information commissioner. It was literally dragged out of you, but you're now yet again refusing to say whether the company has had any additional money, or to confirm that you've underwritten some of Aston Martin's debt, despite the fact that the company has itself confirmed that in the prospectus for its forthcoming flotation. So, two questions, First Minister: doesn't the Welsh public have a right to know about how much public money is being given to private companies? And, secondly, why are we underwriting the debt of a company that is about to raise £5 billion on the London stock exchange?
Welsh: Gadewch i ni gytuno, yn yr amser sydd gennych chi'n weddill, Prif Weinidog, ar y telerau masnach: fi sy'n gofyn y cwestiynau a chi sy'n rhoi'r atebion. Eich hanes chi sydd o dan sylw yn y fan yma. Nawr, efallai mai un - wn i ddim - o'ch achlysuron balchaf oedd y seremoni ddadorchuddio fawr, pan daenwyd baner Cymru dros gar Aston Martin o flaen swyddfeydd Llywodraeth Cymru ym Mharc Cathays. Nawr, yr hyn yr ydych chi wedi bod yn llai brwdfrydig am ei ddatgelu yw yn union faint o arian cyhoeddus a ddefnyddiwyd i sicrhau buddsoddiad y cwmni. Fe'ch gorfodwyd i ddatgelu'r grant cychwynnol o £5.8 miliwn a roesoch gan y comisiynydd gwybodaeth. Fe'i llusgwyd allan ohonoch chi yn llythrennol, ond rydych chi bellach yn gwrthod unwaith eto dweud pa un a yw'r cwmni wedi cael unrhyw arian ychwanegol, neu gadarnhau eich bod wedi gwarantu rhywfaint o ddyled Aston Martin, er gwaethaf y ffaith bod y cwmni ei hun wedi cadarnhau hynny yn y prosbectws ar gyfer ei gam o ymuno â'r gyfnewidfa stoc sydd ar fin digwydd. Felly, dau gwestiwn, Prif Weinidog: onid oes gan y cyhoedd yng Nghymru hawl i wybod faint o arian cyhoeddus sy'n cael ei roi i gwmnïau preifat? Ac, yn ail, pam ydym ni'n gwarantu dyled cwmni sydd ar fin codi £5 biliwn ar gyfnewidfa stoc Llundain?
English: So, he accuses me of a lack of ambition, and then he does down one of the biggest and most important investment projects Wales has ever had - 750 jobs coming to Wales, a centre of excellence for electric technology for the Lagonda. And I can say to him that, in the real world, you cannot deal with businesses if you say to them, 'Every deal that we have with you we will reveal in public'. No-one will come here. No-one will come here. We will do as much as we can to make sure as much is in the public domain as possible, but if you're saying that, if you were First Minister, you would conduct negotiations in public and have a deal that was made public, no-one would come here. No-one would come here; they'd go elsewhere, where they feel that they could have more confidence in the Government. And, secondly, I have to say this to him: it's hugely important for us in Wales to show that we can attract investment, not just because of the money we put on the table - Aston Martin were clear about that; they said that there were better financial packages available elsewhere. Aston Martin said that they were impressed by the passion and professionalism of the Welsh Government. That's what we do: show that passion, show that professionalism, and bring jobs into Wales.
Welsh: Felly, mae'n fy nghyhuddo i o ddiffyg uchelgais, ac wedyn mae'n difrïo un o'r prosiectau buddsoddi mwyaf a phwysicaf a welodd Cymru erioed - 750 o swyddi yn dod i Gymru, canolfan ragoriaeth ar gyfer technoleg trydan ar gyfer y Lagonda. A gallaf ddweud wrtho, yn y byd go iawn, na allwch chi ymdrin â busnesau os byddwch chi'n dweud wrthyn nhw, 'Byddwn yn datgelu pob cytundeb sydd gennym ni gyda chi yn gyhoeddus'. Ni fydd neb yn dod yma. Ni fydd neb yn dod yma. Byddwn yn gwneud cymaint ag y gallwn i wneud yn siŵr bod cymaint â phosibl yn y parth cyhoeddus, ond os ydych chi'n dweud, pe byddech chi'n Brif Weinidog, y byddech chi'n cynnal trafodaethau yn gyhoeddus ac yn cael cytundeb a fyddai'n cael ei gyhoeddi, ni fyddai neb yn dod yma. Ni fyddai neb yn dod yma; byddent yn mynd i rywle arall, lle maen nhw'n teimlo y gallen nhw fod â mwy o hyder yn y Llywodraeth. Ac, yn ail, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud hyn wrtho: mae'n hynod bwysig i ni yng Nghymru ddangos y gallwn ni ddenu buddsoddiad, nid yn unig oherwydd yr arian yr ydym ni'n ei roi ar y bwrdd - roedd Aston Martin yn eglur ynghylch hynny; dywedasant fod gwell pecynnau ariannol ar gael mewn mannau eraill. Dywedodd Aston Martin bod angerdd a phroffesiynoldeb Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gwneud argraff arnynt. Dyna'r ydym ni'n ei wneud: dangos yr angerdd hwnnw, dangos y proffesiynoldeb hwnnw, a dod â swyddi i Gymru.
