English: Thank you, Minister. I just want to start by thanking Helen Mary Jones for giving this Senedd another opportunity, following on from yesterday, to get across to the Government just how important it is to reopen phase 3 of the economic resilience fund - the business development grant side of it, as you've outlined, which is different to the other - and to reopen it quickly, Minister. Because businesses across south-east Wales and our country were relying on this fund. Businesses of all sizes spent weeks preparing for this fund, as we said yesterday, and they were relying on it, even though they were issued with new guidance for the fund on the morning that it was opened, so that, obviously, took time. And then, within 24 hours, the fund had closed. This indicates to me that there is a severe lack of oversight as to the need for this fund and the demand that was going to happen. And taking out what you've just said of the people who applied for it for the wrong reasons, not only were they told that it had been shut within 24 hours, they were told that, instead of the £150,000 that they were trying to apply for, they would then be just signposted off to trying to apply for £2,000, which obviously is not going to cut it. I was delighted to see the support from across the Chamber yesterday after I'd raised the issue for this urgent statement - even from your own party, people recognise that it's important to reopen this fund in particular. I welcome what the First Minister said in response, saying the Government would look at reopening it and, as you've said, there are moneys available if you decided to do that. So, I welcome that as well, Minister. And due to support, am I now right to assume that it's not a matter of 'if' it will be reopened, but now a matter of 'when'? And when will you be making this statement on the business development grant? Because there are so many confused people out there that are stressed and didn't even get their e-mails answered from Business Wales. So, I'd like you to look into that, and perhaps give those businesses that were refused better advice in the future. But I thank you for your extra clarity this afternoon, Minister. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddiolch i Helen Mary Jones am roi cyfle arall i'r Senedd hon, yn sgil yr hyn a gafwyd ddoe, i fynegi wrth y Llywodraeth pa mor bwysig yw ailagor cam 3 y gronfa cadernid economaidd - ochr y grant datblygu busnes ohoni, fel rydych wedi disgrifio, sy'n wahanol i'r llall - a'i hailagor yn gyflym, Weinidog. Oherwydd roedd busnesau ar draws de-ddwyrain Cymru a'n gwlad yn dibynnu ar y gronfa hon. Treuliodd busnesau o bob maint wythnosau'n paratoi ar gyfer y gronfa hon, fel y dywedasom ddoe, ac roeddent yn dibynnu arni, er iddynt gael canllawiau newydd ar gyfer y gronfa ar y bore y cafodd ei hagor, felly mae'n amlwg fod hynny wedi cymryd amser. Ac yna, o fewn 24 awr, roedd y gronfa wedi cau. Mae hyn yn dangos i mi fod diffyg goruchwyliaeth difrifol o ran yr angen am y gronfa hon a'r galw a oedd yn mynd i ddigwydd. A chan dynnu allan yr hyn rydych newydd ei ddweud am y bobl a wnaeth gais iddi am y rhesymau anghywir, nid yn unig y dywedwyd wrthynt ei bod wedi'i chau o fewn 24 awr, ond yn hytrach na'r £150,000 roeddent yn ceisio gwneud cais amdano, dywedwyd wrthynt y byddent yn cael eu cyfeirio wedyn i geisio gwneud cais am £2,000, ac mae'n amlwg nad yw hynny'n ddigon da. Roeddwn wrth fy modd yn gweld y gefnogaeth o bob rhan o'r Siambr ddoe ar ôl i mi godi'r mater ar gyfer y datganiad brys hwn - hyd yn oed yn eich plaid eich hun, mae pobl yn cydnabod ei bod yn bwysig ailagor y gronfa hon yn enwedig. Rwy'n croesawu'r hyn a ddywedodd y Prif Weinidog wrth ymateb, gan ddweud y byddai'r Llywodraeth yn ystyried ei hailagor ac fel rydych wedi dweud, mae arian ar gael pe baech yn penderfynu gwneud hynny. Felly, rwy'n croesawu hynny hefyd, Weinidog. Ac oherwydd y cymorth, a ydw i'n iawn yn awr i dybio nad mater o 'os' bydd y gronfa'n cael ei hailagor ydyw bellach, ond yn hytrach, 'pryd'? A phryd y byddwch yn gwneud y datganiad am y grant datblygu busnes? Oherwydd mae cymaint o bobl ddryslyd allan yno sydd dan bwysau a heb gael ateb i'w negeseuon e-bost gan Busnes Cymru hyd yn oed. Felly, hoffwn i chi edrych ar hynny, a rhoi gwell cyngor yn y dyfodol i'r busnesau a gafodd eu gwrthod. Ond diolch i chi am eich eglurhad ychwanegol y prynhawn yma, Weinidog. Diolch.
