English: Minister, thank you very much for your statement today. I think that your response and the response from Valero have been entirely reasonable, given the circumstances - no-one wanted this to happen, no-one expected it to happen, and it is very, very unfortunate, to say the least. I think that Adam Price raised some excellent points in the comments and I'd like to actually align myself with them. Although I would add that I believe that any investigation should be conducted by the statutory bodies and any penalties coming forward should also be as a result of those investigations by the statutory bodies. I don't think it's incumbent upon any of us to second-guess either what happened or to lay out what we think any punishment should be. I do have one concern, though: in your letter of 7 October, you referred to the fact that this pipeline is 12m below ground and that you cannot be sure of the condition of the pipe or of the cause of the leak. I've also been discussing this with Valero, who - and I agree with Joyce Watson - have been very straight about it all and said it as they see it, and they don't know either. So, have you got any contingency plan in place in case the A48 has to be closed for longer than the weekend? Because, when they finally dig down to get to it, I understand they're going to go in from the side and knock through the tarmac, but if it actually turns out to be worse and they're going to have to take the road up in order to do whatever it is they need to do - so, really, do we have a contingency plan in place in case this closure is going to go for much longer than anticipated? I would also like to ask if you would liaise with your colleague, Ken Skates, Cabinet Secretary for business, to talk to him about whether or not we can hasten the entire issue of the A48. My concern is that the weekend after next is the beginning of half-term. As Joyce Watson said, that road is absolutely packed. We've got the tourists coming down; it's vitally important that that artery is opened up for Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. I don't think there are any further points west of that, but we really do need to make sure that tourists can come - it's a vital part of our industry. So, would you please give me your view on whether or not you think that we could try to persuade 24/7 working to be put in place to get that road fixed as soon as possible? Finally, I'd like to say how impressed I was by the way the silver command response team swung into action and how all the organisations came together, and, on behalf of the Welsh Conservatives, I'd like you to express our thanks to them because they have really proven that this is what the emergency services are all about and they've done exceptionally well under the circumstances.
Welsh: Weinidog, diolch yn fawr iawn am eich datganiad heddiw. Credaf fod eich ymateb a'r ymateb gan Valero wedi bod yn gwbl resymol, o dan yr amgylchiadau - nid oedd unrhyw un yn dymuno i hyn ddigwydd, nid oedd unrhyw un yn disgwyl iddo ddigwydd, ac mae'n hynod, hynod anffodus, a dweud y lleiaf. Credaf fod Adam Price wedi codi pwyntiau ardderchog yn ei sylwadau a hoffwn innau, mewn gwirionedd, gysylltu fy hun â nhw. Er yr hoffwn i ychwanegu fy mod i'n credu y dylai unrhyw ymchwiliad gael ei gynnal gan y cyrff statudol ac y dylai unrhyw gosbau ddod o ganlyniad i'r ymchwiliadau hynny gan y cyrff statudol. Nid wyf yn credu ei fod yn ddyletswydd ar unrhyw un ohonom i ragfynegi yr hyn a ddigwyddodd nac i osod yr hyn yr ydym yn credu y dylai unrhyw gosb fod. Mae gennyf un pryder, fodd bynnag: yn eich llythyr ar 7 Hydref cyfeiriasoch at y ffaith bod y biblinell hon 12m o dan y ddaear ac na allwch chi fod yn sicr o gyflwr y biblinell nac o achos y gollyngiad. Rwyf hefyd wedi bod yn trafod hyn â Valero, sydd - a chytunaf â Joyce Watson - wedi bod yn eglur iawn ac wedi siarad yn blaen iawn am y cyfan, ac nid ydynt hwythau'n gwybod ychwaith. Felly, a oes gennych chi unrhyw gynllun wrth gefn ar waith rhag ofn y bydd yr A48 ar gau am fwy na'r penwythnos? Oherwydd, pan fyddant o'r diwedd yn cloddio i lawr at y bibell, rwyf ar ddeall eu bod yn bwriadu mynd i mewn o'r ochr a chnocio drwy'r tarmac, ond os bydd, mewn gwirionedd, yn waeth yn y pen draw ac y bydd yn rhaid iddyn nhw godi rhan o'r ffordd er mwyn gwneud y gwaith angenrheidiol - felly, mewn gwirionedd, a oes gennym ni gynllun wrth gefn ar waith rhag ofn y bydd y ffordd ar gau am gyfnod llawer hirach na'r disgwyl? Hoffwn ofyn i chi hefyd gysylltu â'ch cydweithiwr, Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros fusnes, i siarad ag ef ynghylch pa un a allwn gyflymu holl fater yr A48. Fy mhryder yw bod hanner tymor yn dechrau y penwythnos ar ôl y nesaf. Fel y dywedodd Joyce Watson, mae'r ffordd honno yn orlawn o draffig. Mae gennym y twristiaid yn cyrraedd; mae'n hanfodol bwysig bod yr wythïen honno ar agor ar gyfer Sir Gaerfyrddin a Sir Benfro. Nid wyf yn credu bod unrhyw ardaloedd yn bellach i'r gorllewin o'r fan honno, ond mae angen i ni wneud yn siŵr y gall twristiaid ddod yma-mae'n rhan hanfodol o'n diwydiant. Felly, a fyddech cystal â dweud wrthyf pa yn a ydych chi'n meddwl y gallem geisio eu perswadio i weithio ddydd a nos i drin y ffordd honno cyn gynted â phosibl? Yn olaf, hoffwn ddweud cymaint o argraff a wnaed arnaf gan ymateb y tîm trefn rheoli arian wrth iddynt fwrw iddi, ac wrth i'r holl sefydliadau ddod at ei gilydd, ac, ar ran y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig, hoffwn fynegi ein diolch iddyn nhw, oherwydd maen nhw wedi profi o ddifrif mai dyma beth yw hanfod y gwasanaethau brys, ac maent wedi gwneud yn arbennig o dda o dan yr amgylchiadau.
