English: As you know, and as I said in the debate last week, Minister, I've had conversations with the National Farmers Union, with the Farmers Union of Wales, and with farmers in my constituency, and there are, undoubtedly, regardless of merits of the regulations, concerns that they have - very deep concerns that they have - about the impact, and particularly in those small farms. And I raised in my speech last week the issue of a farm, for example, with 75 dairy cows, who would then have to build technology to contain slurry that might not otherwise have been used. I did have some reassurance from the Welsh Government, and I was hoping you'd put it on the record in your speech last week, but perhaps now is the opportunity. What reassurance can you give to those farmers with regard to nutrient management plans? What reassurance can you give to those farmers who are concerned about having to bring in consultants to deal with complex forms? And with all that in mind, how will the Welsh Government wish to - and obviously there's an election coming up - review the regulations in the period in which they are phased in? How are you going to introduce that review and ensure that those farmers, like the small ones in my constituency, are not unduly affected?
Welsh: Fel y gwyddoch, ac fel y dywedais yn y ddadl yr wythnos diwethaf, Weinidog, rwyf wedi cael sgyrsiau gydag Undeb Cenedlaethol yr Amaethwyr, gydag Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru, a chyda ffermwyr yn fy etholaeth, a heb os, ni waeth beth fo rhinweddau'r rheoliadau, mae ganddynt bryderon - pryderon dwys iawn - ynglŷn â'r effaith, ac yn enwedig yn y ffermydd bach hynny. Ac yn fy araith yr wythnos diwethaf, soniais am fferm, er enghraifft, a chanddi 75 o fuchod godro, a fyddai wedyn yn gorfod adeiladu technoleg i storio slyri na fyddai wedi cael ei defnyddio fel arall o bosibl. Cefais beth sicrwydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ac roeddwn yn gobeithio y byddech wedi'i nodi yn eich araith yr wythnos diwethaf, ond efallai mai nawr yw'r cyfle. Pa sicrwydd y gallwch ei roi i'r ffermwyr hynny mewn perthynas â chynlluniau rheoli maethynnau? Pa sicrwydd y gallwch ei roi i'r ffermwyr sy'n poeni am orfod dibynnu ar ymgynghorwyr i ymdrin â ffurflenni cymhleth? A chyda hynny oll mewn golwg, sut y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn dymuno - ac yn amlwg, mae yna etholiad ar y ffordd - adolygu'r rheoliadau yn ystod y cyfnod y cânt eu cyflwyno'n raddol? Sut y bwriadwch gyflwyno'r adolygiad hwnnw a sicrhau nad yw ffermwyr fel y rhai bach yn fy etholaeth i yn cael eu heffeithio'n ormodol?
English: The truth is, of course, that the amount set aside by the Welsh Government to implement these measures has been identified by farmers, farmers unions and the whole of the farming industry as totally inadequate. Now, whilst I have great respect for the AM for Caerphilly, his reason for not voting against the Government last Wednesday does not cut ice when he says there are two large polluters in his constituency - he lays bare the Minister's arguments for punishing the whole industry. Intervention should have been targeted. So, Minister, why did you go against all the agricultural sector's advice and implement such a potentially disastrous blanket strategy?
Welsh: Y gwir amdani, wrth gwrs, yw bod ffermwyr, undebau'r ffermwyr a'r diwydiant ffermio yn gyffredinol wedi galw'r swm a neilltuwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i roi'r mesurau hyn ar waith yn un cwbl annigonol. Nawr, er bod gennyf gryn dipyn o barch tuag at yr AC dros Gaerffili, nid yw ei reswm dros beidio â phleidleisio yn erbyn y Llywodraeth ddydd Mercher diwethaf yn gwneud unrhyw synnwyr pan ddywed fod dau lygrwr mawr yn ei etholaeth - mae'n datgelu dadleuon y Gweinidog dros gosbi'r diwydiant cyfan. Dylai ymyrraeth fod yn un sydd wedi'i thargedu. Felly, Weinidog, pam yr aethoch yn erbyn holl gyngor y sector amaethyddol a rhoi strategaeth a allai fod mor drychinebus ar waith yn gyffredinol?
English: Well, the truth is, David Rowlands, that, as I say, there's £44.5 million of capital already been assigned to this, plus further funding for the next financial year, which obviously we can only do on a one-year basis because the Welsh Government only has a one-year budget from the UK Government. But I've always made it very clear that support would be available to the farming sector in relation to these. What you don't seem to understand is the regulations are targeted. We can't do it on specific areas because the number of agricultural pollution incidents we're seeing are all over Wales. But the regulations will be targeted, and the majority of farms are already coming up to that baseline requirement. This is about having that baseline requirement to improve and reduce the number of incidents, which I'm sure you will agree are an embarrassment to the agricultural sector.
Welsh: Wel, y gwir amdani, David Rowlands, fel y dywedaf, yw bod £44.5 miliwn o gyfalaf wedi'i neilltuo i hyn eisoes, ynghyd â chyllid pellach ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf, ac yn amlwg, dim ond ar sail un flwyddyn y gallwn wneud hynny gan mai dim ond cyllideb blwyddyn y mae Llywodraeth Cymru'n ei chael gan Lywodraeth y DU. Ond rwyf bob amser wedi dweud yn glir iawn y byddai cymorth ar gael i'r sector ffermio mewn perthynas â'r rhain. Yr hyn nad ydych yn ei ddeall yn ôl pob golwg yw bod y rheoliadau wedi'u targedu. Ni allwn wneud hyn mewn ardaloedd penodol oherwydd nifer y digwyddiadau llygredd amaethyddol rydym yn eu gweld ledled Cymru. Ond bydd y rheoliadau wedi'u targedu, ac mae'r rhan fwyaf o ffermydd eisoes yn bodloni'r gofyniad sylfaenol hwnnw. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â sicrhau bod gennym y gofyniad sylfaenol i wella a lleihau nifer yr achosion sydd, rwy'n siŵr y byddwch yn cytuno, yn destun cywilydd i'r sector amaethyddol.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Minister, do you regret the fact that the rate of installation of new renewable energy capacity has fallen every year under Labour in Wales since 2015?
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Weinidog, a ydych yn difaru'r ffaith bod cyfraddau gosod capasiti ynni adnewyddadwy newydd wedi gostwng bob blwyddyn o dan Lafur yng Nghymru ers 2015?
English: I think we've done a huge amount of work to support the installation of renewable energy schemes. I've worked very closely with anyone who is happy to bring forward the schemes. Tomorrow, I'll be meeting with developers and looking at new schemes. You must appreciate that we have put significant funding in also, but we really need developers and we need to work with the UK Government to make sure all levers are used in relation to new installations.
Welsh: Credaf ein bod wedi gwneud llawer iawn i gefnogi'r gwaith o osod cynlluniau ynni adnewyddadwy. Rwyf wedi gweithio'n agos iawn gydag unrhyw un sy'n fodlon cyflwyno'r cynlluniau. Yfory, byddaf yn cyfarfod â datblygwyr ac yn edrych ar gynlluniau newydd. Mae'n rhaid ichi ddeall ein bod wedi darparu cryn dipyn o gyllid hefyd, ond mae gwir angen datblygwyr arnom ac mae angen inni weithio gyda Llywodraeth y DU i sicrhau bod yr holl ysgogiadau'n cael eu defnyddio mewn perthynas â gosod cynlluniau newydd.
English: But that doesn't change the fact that renewable energy development in Wales is slowing down under Labour's watch. Declaring a climate emergency should mean a ramping up and an acceleration in the rate of development, but you haven't delivered that. Now, maybe we shouldn't be surprised, given that you cut support from the hydropower sector, for example, in Wales, leaving many of those schemes facing financial ruin, and your decision probably has zapped the confidence of others as well who were considering developing similar new energy schemes. And that slowing down of renewable energy development in Wales under your watch isn't the only matter, of course, that you should regret. Plastic waste is another one. It's a scourge that we all want to see tackled with a huge ramping up of interventions to get to grips with the problem. I was elected to this Senedd in 2011 and, at that time, there was talk of action on a deposit-return scheme. Ten years and two Labour Governments later, we're still waiting for those interventions to materialise. Are you not embarrassed that we still don't have a deposit-return scheme in Wales?
Welsh: Ond nid yw hynny'n newid y ffaith bod y gwaith o ddatblygu ynni adnewyddadwy yng Nghymru yn arafu o dan wyliadwriaeth Llafur. Dylai datgan argyfwng hinsawdd olygu cynyddu gwaith datblygu a'i gyflymu, ond nid ydych wedi cyflawni hynny. Nawr, efallai na ddylem synnu, o ystyried eich bod yn torri cymorth i'r sector ynni dŵr, er enghraifft, yng Nghymru, gan adael llawer o'r cynlluniau hynny'n wynebu trafferthion ariannol, ac mae'n debyg fod eich penderfyniad wedi lleihau hyder eraill hefyd a oedd yn ystyried datblygu cynlluniau ynni newydd tebyg. Ac nid yr arafu o ran datblygu ynni adnewyddadwy yng Nghymru o dan eich gwyliadwriaeth yw'r unig beth y dylech ei fod yn edifar yn ei gylch wrth gwrs. Mae gwastraff plastig yn un arall. Mae'n bla y mae pob un ohonom am ei gweld yn cael ei threchu gyda chynnydd enfawr mewn ymyriadau i fynd i'r afael â'r broblem. Cefais fy ethol i'r Senedd hon yn 2011, a bryd hynny, roedd sôn am weithredu ar gynllun dychwelyd ernes. Ddeng mlynedd a dwy Lywodraeth Lafur yn ddiweddarach, rydym yn dal i aros am yr ymyriadau hynny. Onid oes cywilydd arnoch nad oes gennym gynllun dychwelyd ernes yng Nghymru o hyd?
English: This is something, as you know, that has recently come back into my portfolio, and I have had several discussions around a DRS. I think the most important thing for me is to make sure there are no perverse outcomes from a DRS, because, as you know, we have made fantastic strides in relation to our recycling. We've hit the target of 65 per cent recycling. I think it's a year ahead of the target that we had, and that is down to three things: it's down to leadership from Welsh Government, it's down to leadership from local authorities, and it's down to the people of Wales, who have embraced recycling. Now, we need to move to the next stage, and that's why I've recently launched the circular economy strategy.
Welsh: Mae hyn yn rhywbeth, fel y gwyddoch, sydd wedi dod yn ôl i fy mhortffolio yn ddiweddar, ac rwyf wedi cael sawl trafodaeth ynghylch cynllun dychwelyd ernes. Credaf mai'r peth pwysicaf i mi yw sicrhau nad yw cynllun dychwelyd ernes yn arwain at unrhyw ganlyniadau gwrthnysig, oherwydd fel y gwyddoch, rydym wedi gwneud cryn dipyn o gynnydd mewn perthynas â'n hailgylchu. Rydym wedi cyrraedd y targed ailgylchu o 65 y cant. Credaf ein bod flwyddyn o flaen y targed a oedd gennym, ac mae hynny oherwydd tri pheth: arweinyddiaeth Llywodraeth Cymru, arweinyddiaeth awdurdodau lleol, a phobl Cymru sydd wedi croesawu ailgylchu. Nawr, mae angen inni symud i'r cam nesaf, a dyna pam y lansiais strategaeth yr economi gylchol yn ddiweddar.
English: I should declare that I am a member of the Wrexham Litter Pickers that Llyr Gruffydd referred to - we must remember that it's not Government that litters; it's people who litter - and I would really like to praise the work that they've done. And you'll be aware of the new litter and fly-tipping plan that I mentioned in an earlier answer to Jayne Bryant. This Government has done a huge amount in relation to energy efficiency and many millions of pounds have been spent on homes. We have a very old housing stock here in Wales and I think my colleague Julie James has done some fantastic work in ensuring that we're not building homes now that will need further retrofitting in years to come. And I think what we're seeing here is not you showing the failures of this Government, because I don't recognise the ones you are, but just the Plaid Cymru manifesto.
Welsh: Dylwn ddatgan fy mod yn aelod o'r Wrexham Litter Pickers y cyfeiriodd Llyr Gruffydd atynt - mae'n rhaid inni gofio nid y Llywodraeth sy'n taflu sbwriel; pobl sy'n taflu sbwriel - a hoffwn ganmol y gwaith y maent wedi'i wneud. Ac fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol o'r cynllun atal sbwriel a thipio anghyfreithlon y soniais amdano mewn ateb cynharach i Jayne Bryant. Mae'r Llywodraeth hon wedi gwneud llawer iawn mewn perthynas ag effeithlonrwydd ynni ac wedi gwario miliynau o bunnoedd ar gartrefi. Mae gennym stoc dai hen iawn yma yng Nghymru a chredaf fod fy nghyd-Weinidog Julie James wedi gwneud gwaith gwych yn sicrhau nad ydym yn adeiladu cartrefi yn awr y bydd angen eu hôl-osod ymhellach ymhen blynyddoedd i ddod. A chredaf mai'r hyn rydym yn ei weld yma yw nid chi'n dangos methiannau'r Llywodraeth hon, gan nad wyf yn cydnabod y rhai y soniwch amdanynt, ond maniffesto Plaid Cymru.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. Firstly, Minister, as this is the last spokespersons' questions of this term, I just wanted to thank you. We've had some lively and robust scrutiny and challenge and just to thank you for your answers along the way. Thank you, Lesley. Now, according to the White Paper on the clean air (Wales) Bill, we may not see regulations set until spring 2024 - that would be a quarter of a century into the life of this Welsh Parliament, despite the First Minister telling this Chamber in May 2019 that the debate had been ongoing for a decade, that he had already at that point had discussions with you and that at that time, preparation inside the Welsh Government had begun about how a clean air Act might be developed. Almost two years on, this Welsh Government has failed to deliver on the First Minister's leadership promise - and I quote - to 'Develop a new Clean Air Act to ensure that our children can go to school, be active and play outside safely without fear of respiratory problems, such as asthma, because of pollution levels in some of our towns and cities.' In September 2019, you told this Chamber that you were continuing to make progress towards the introduction of a clean air Act for Wales. Do you now regret some of the Welsh Government's failure during this Senedd to deliver this Act or even a draft Bill and full regulatory impact assessment? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Yn gyntaf, Weinidog, gan mai rhain yw cwestiynau olaf y llefarwyr ar gyfer y tymor hwn, roeddwn am ddiolch i chi. Rydym wedi cael craffu a herio bywiog a chadarn, a hoffwn ddiolch i chi am eich atebion ar hyd y daith. Diolch, Lesley. Nawr, yn ôl y Papur Gwyn ar Fil aer glân (Cymru), efallai na fydd rheoliadau'n cael eu gosod tan wanwyn 2024 - byddai hynny chwarter canrif i mewn i fywyd Senedd Cymru, er i'r Prif Weinidog ddweud wrth y Siambr hon ym mis Mai 2019 fod y ddadl wedi bod yn mynd rhagddi ers degawd, ei fod eisoes wedi cael trafodaethau gyda chi, ac ar yr adeg honno, fod y gwaith paratoi mewnol yn Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dechrau ynghylch sut y gallai Deddf aer glân gael ei datblygu. Bron i ddwy flynedd yn ddiweddarach, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi methu cyflawni'r addewid yng nghais arweinyddiaeth y Prif Weinidog - ac rwy'n dyfynnu - i 'ddatblygu Deddf Aer Glân newydd i sicrhau y gall ein plant fynd i'r ysgol, bod yn egnïol a chwarae y tu allan yn ddiogel heb ofn problemau anadlu, megis asthma, oherwydd y lefelau llygredd yn rhai o'n trefi a'n dinasoedd.' Ym mis Medi 2019, fe ddywedoch chi wrth y Siambr hon eich bod yn parhau i wneud cynnydd tuag at gyflwyno Deddf aer glân i Gymru. A ydych bellach yn difaru methiant Llywodraeth Cymru yn ystod tymor y Senedd hon i gyflwyno'r Ddeddf hon neu hyd yn oed i gyflwyno Bil drafft ac asesiad effaith reoleiddiol llawn? Diolch.
English: Thank you. I would have very much liked to have brought a clean air Act through this Government. As you say, it was part of the First Minister's leadership bid back in December 2018, so just over two years ago. And what has happened in those two years? I think you can recognise why there has been so much pressure on the legislative programme for this Welsh Government and, unfortunately, we didn't have the capacity to bring forward a clean air Bill and then an Act during this term of Government, which I do regret and I know the First Minister regrets. However, I don't think there's any Member in this Senedd who can't understand the absolute use of our legislative programme in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, and, of course, leaving the European Union and the pressures that's put on our legal capacity and, as I say, our legislative programme. However, what we have done is launch the clean air plan for Wales, which I published back in August of last year. That sets out a range of actions to deliver those improvements in air quality across Wales that we all want to see. You don't necessarily need legislation for everything, so I think that clean air plan has brought forward some of the improvements we want to see. I also published the consultation on the White Paper on a clean air (Wales) Bill on 13 January. As you're aware, that will close on 7 April, so that in the next term of Government, the Government can then be in a place to take forward the Act, as it wishes.
Welsh: Diolch. Byddwn wedi bod wrth fy modd yn cyflwyno Deddf aer glân drwy'r Llywodraeth hon. Fel y dywedwch, roedd yn rhan o gais arweinyddiaeth y Prif Weinidog yn ôl ym mis Rhagfyr 2018, felly ychydig dros ddwy flynedd yn ôl. A beth sydd wedi digwydd yn ystod y ddwy flynedd honno? Credaf y gallwch gydnabod pam fod cymaint o bwysau wedi bod ar y rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol ar gyfer Llywodraeth Cymru ac, yn anffodus, nid oedd gennym y capasiti i gyflwyno Bil aer glân a Deddf wedyn yn ystod tymor y Llywodraeth hon, ac rwy'n gresynu at hynny a gwn fod y Prif Weinidog yn gresynu at hynny. Fodd bynnag, ni chredaf fod unrhyw Aelod yn y Senedd hon nad ydynt yn gallu deall bod ein rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol wedi ymwneud yn gyfan gwbl â phandemig COVID-19, ac, wrth gwrs, gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd a'r pwysau y mae hynny wedi'i roi ar ein capasiti cyfreithiol, ac fel y dywedaf, ar ein rhaglen ddeddfwriaethol. Fodd bynnag, yr hyn rydym wedi'i wneud yw lansio'r cynllun aer glân ar gyfer Cymru, a gyhoeddais yn ôl ym mis Awst y llynedd. Mae hwnnw'n nodi ystod o gamau i gyflawni'r gwelliannau y mae pob un ohonom yn dymuno'u gweld yn ansawdd yr aer ledled Cymru. Nid oes angen deddfwriaeth arnoch ar gyfer popeth o reidrwydd, felly credaf fod y cynllun aer glân hwnnw wedi sicrhau rhai o'r gwelliannau rydym am eu gweld. Cyhoeddais hefyd yr ymgynghoriad ar y Papur Gwyn ar Fil aer glân (Cymru) ar 13 Ionawr. Fel y gwyddoch, bydd hwnnw'n cau ar 7 Ebrill, fel y gall y Llywodraeth, yn nhymor y Llywodraeth nesaf, fod mewn sefyllfa i fwrw ymlaen â'r Ddeddf, fel y dymuna.
English: Well, I am not betraying the farmers. What I am trying to do is reduce the number of agricultural pollution incidents that are having a massive negative impact on our air quality, as well as our water quality. So, I'm afraid the argument that you put forward doesn't stack up at all. And let's just be clear: this is not just NVZs. It's not just nitrates. This is around phosphates. This is around ammonia pollution incidents as well. So, it's not just this NVZ that I keep on hearing about. In relation to mental health, of course, you don't want anything that would be detrimental to anybody's mental health. I put significant funding into mental health support services for our agriculture sector, because I do understand that it is a difficult time. But, the one thing that's caused, I think, the most angst to farmers in this term of Government and my time in this portfolio is leaving the European Union, and the uncertainty around that.
Welsh: Wel, nid wyf yn bradychu'r ffermwyr. Yr hyn rwy'n ceisio'i wneud yw lleihau nifer yr achosion o lygredd amaethyddol sy'n cael effaith negyddol enfawr ar ansawdd ein haer, yn ogystal ag ansawdd ein dŵr. Felly, mae arnaf ofn nad yw'r ddadl a wnaed gennych yn gwneud unrhyw synnwyr. A gadewch imi ddweud yn glir: nid oes a wnelo hyn â'r parthau perygl nitradau yn unig. Nid oes a wnelo â nitradau yn unig. Mae hyn yn ymwneud â ffosffadau. Mae hyn yn ymwneud ag achosion o lygredd amonia hefyd. Felly, mae'n fwy na'r parth perygl nitradau y clywaf amdano o hyd. Mewn perthynas ag iechyd meddwl wrth gwrs, nid oes arnoch eisiau unrhyw beth a fyddai'n niweidiol i iechyd meddwl unrhyw un. Rwyf wedi rhoi cryn dipyn o arian i wasanaethau cymorth iechyd meddwl ar gyfer ein sector amaethyddol, gan fy mod yn deall ei fod yn gyfnod anodd. Ond yr un peth sydd wedi achosi'r trallod mwyaf i ffermwyr yn nhymor y Llywodraeth hon ac yn ystod fy nghyfnod yn y portffolio hwn yw gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, a'r ansicrwydd ynghylch hynny.
English: Now, further evidence of the lack of prioritisation that you have given to air pollution is the budget for 2021-22. You admitted to our Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee that there is still no detailed cost estimate of the clean air plan that was published seven months ago. The £3.4 million revenue funding and £17 million capital funding allocated for air quality action actually remains unchanged from the previous year, and therefore represents a real-terms cut. In fact, I know that this is not the first time that this has been raised with you, as you were scrutinised on the matter during committee in January, blowing the concerns about funding to one side by informing us again that you have competing priorities in the budget and, of course, the impact of COVID-19. As you know, I acknowledge that challenge, but I still need you to explain why there is no detailed cost estimate for this plan, and what led you to make a political decision to deprioritise the health crisis caused by air pollution by delivering a real-terms cut in funding.
Welsh: Nawr, mae'r gyllideb ar gyfer 2021-22 yn dystiolaeth bellach o'ch diffyg blaenoriaeth i lygredd aer. Fe wnaethoch chi gyfaddef i'n Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig nad oes amcangyfrif cost manwl i'w gael o hyd ar gyfer y cynllun aer glân a gyhoeddwyd saith mis yn ôl. Mae'r £3.4 miliwn o gyllid refeniw a'r £17 miliwn o gyllid cyfalaf a ddyrannwyd ar gyfer gweithredu ar ansawdd aer yr un fath â'r flwyddyn flaenorol, ac felly mae'n cynrychioli toriad mewn termau real. Mewn gwirionedd, gwn nad dyma'r tro cyntaf i hyn gael ei godi gyda chi, gan y gwnaed gwaith craffu arnoch mewn perthynas â'r mater yn ystod y pwyllgor ym mis Ionawr, pan wthioch chi'r pryderon ynghylch cyllid i un ochr drwy ddweud wrthym unwaith eto fod gennych flaenoriaethau sy'n cystadlu yn erbyn ei gilydd yn y gyllideb, ac wrth gwrs, effaith COVID-19. Fel y gwyddoch, rwy'n cydnabod yr her honno, ond mae'n dal i fod angen i chi egluro pam nad oes amcangyfrif cost manwl i'w gael ar gyfer y cynllun hwn, a pham y gwnaethoch benderfyniad gwleidyddol i ddadflaenoriaethu'r argyfwng iechyd a achoswyd gan lygredd aer drwy wneud toriad mewn termau real i'r cyllid.
