English: Thank you, Presiding Officer, and thank you to the Minister for outlining this supplementary budget. The Finance Committee agree that the main purpose of this supplementary budget was restructuring following the changes in ministerial portfolios after the election. Despite that, we would like to draw the Assembly's attention to the report that we've put together and to three things stemming from the more political decisions, as it were, of the Government. First of all, some of you present at the previous Assembly will remember the disagreement regarding the significant cut to the funding for the Higher Education Funding Council. A promise was made at that point to provide a further £10 million of funding to the HEFCW budget and the supplementary budget reflects that, with an additional £5 million for part-time study provision and £5 million for research. As the Cabinet Secretary has also noted, there is an allocation of £7.7 million for the Assembly's electoral costs. In scrutinising the budget, the Finance Committee ensured that all efforts were made to save those costs by holding the police and crime commissioners' elections on the same day. It's the Home Office's responsibility to hold those. If we have a general election quickly, then it'll be the responsibility of the UK Government to cover those costs. But in looking at the future, we do want to keep the costs as low as possible, and we look forward to additional work by the Cabinet Secretary, especially from the point of view of the wages of some of the officials who are responsible for elections in Wales. The final point mentioned is that the committee has noted that £1.5 million has been allocated in the budget for the business rates relief scheme in the Port Talbot waterfront enterprise zone. We're all aware of the reason for that decision - the threat to the Tata steelworks in that town - but we were of the opinion that we should seek greater evidence to set out the rationale behind allocations of this kind, and we hope that the Cabinet Secretary will be able to provide that information that we asked for in the committee meeting in due course. We think that that will help Assembly Members and the people of Wales to scrutinise programmes of this kind in terms of their success and value for money. So, even though the committee had gathered at short notice to consider the supplementary budget, we appreciated the opportunity to discuss it and we feel that the budget does follow the budget protocol agreed between the Finance Minister and the previous Finance Committee. So, we note the budget and we note that it's a technical budget following portfolio changes.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd, a diolch i'r Gweinidog am amlinellu'r gyllideb atodol. Mae'r Pwyllgor Cyllid yn ei nodi ac yn cytuno mai prif bwrpas y gyllideb atodol hon oedd ailstrwythuro yn sgil y newid ym mhortffolios Gweinidogion y Llywodraeth yn sgil yr etholiad. Hoffwn, serch hynny, dynnu sylw'r Cynulliad at yr adroddiad rydym wedi ei baratoi ac at dri pheth sy'n deillio o benderfyniadau mwy gwleidyddol, os liciwch chi, gan y Llywodraeth. Yn gyntaf oll, mae rhai ohonoch chi a fuodd yn y Cynulliad diwethaf yn cofio'r anghytuno a fu dros doriad sylweddol yn yr arian ar gyfer cyngor cyllido addysg uwch. Fe wnaed addewid bryd hynny i ddarparu £10 miliwn yn ychwanegol o gyllid i gyllideb y cyngor cyllido. Mae'r gyllideb atodol yn adlewyrchu hynny, gyda £5 miliwn yn mynd ar gyfer darpariaeth astudiaethau rhan amser a £5 miliwn ar gyfer ymchwil. Yn ogystal, fel y mae'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet wedi ei nodi, mae yna ddyraniad o £7.7 miliwn ar gyfer costau etholiad y Cynulliad. Wrth graffu ar y gyllideb, fe sicrhaodd y Pwyllgor Cyllid fod pob ymdrech wedi cael ei wneud i arbed costau gan, wrth gwrs, gynnal etholiadau comisiynwyr yr heddlu a throsedd ar yr un pryd. Cyfrifoldeb y Swyddfa Gartref yw'r etholiadau hynny. Os cawn ni etholiad cyffredinol yn sydyn, cyfrifoldeb Llywodraeth San Steffan fydd y costau hynny hefyd. Ond o fwrw golwg at y dyfodol, rydym am gadw'r costau mor isel â phosibl ac yn edrych ymlaen at fwy o waith gan yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet, yn enwedig o safbwynt cyflogau rhai o'r swyddogion sydd yn gyfrifol am etholiadau yng Nghymru. A'r pwynt olaf sydd wedi cael ei grybwyll, wrth gwrs, yw bod y pwyllgor wedi nodi bod £1.5 miliwn wedi ei ddyrannu yn y gyllideb i gynllun rhyddhad ardrethi busnes yn ardal fenter glannau Port Talbot. Rydym i gyd yn ymwybodol o'r rheswm dros y penderfyniad yma - y bygythiad, wrth gwrs, i waith Tata yn y dref honno - ond roeddem o'r farn ein bod yn chwilio am fwy o dystiolaeth yn y pen draw i nodi'r rhesymeg tu ôl i ddyraniadau o'r fath, ac yn gobeithio'n fawr iawn y bydd yr Ysgrifennydd Cabinet yn gallu rhoi'r wybodaeth y gofynnwyd iddo amdani yn y pwyllgor maes o law. Rwy'n credu y bydd hynny yn y pen draw yn helpu Aelodau Cynulliad a phobl Cymru i graffu ar raglenni o'r fath o ran eu llwyddiant a'u gwerth am arian. Felly, er bod y pwyllgor wedi ei gasglu ynghyd ar fyr rybudd braidd i ystyried y gyllideb atodol, roeddem yn gwerthfawrogi'r cyfle i drafod hynny ac yn teimlo bod y gyllideb yn dilyn protocol y cytunwyd arno yn flaenorol gan y Gweinidog Cyllid a'r Pwyllgor Cyllid blaenorol. Felly, rydym yn nodi y gyllideb ac yn nodi, yn wir, mai cyllideb dechnegol yn dilyn symud portffolios yw hi yn y bôn.
