English: First Minister, let me reassure you that, within the Conservative Party, we respect the rule of law and the outcome of today's Supreme Court proceedings. But let's look at the root of this particular issue, shall we? This Brexit impasse - [ Interruption.] - this Brexit impasse, and the position -
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, gadewch i mi roi sicrwydd i chi ein bod ni, yn y Blaid Geidwadol, yn parchu rheolaeth y gyfraith a chanlyniad yr achos Goruchaf Lys heddiw. Ond gadewch i ni edrych ar wraidd y mater penodol hwn, aie? Crëwyd y cyfwng Brexit hwn - [ Torri ar draws.] - y cyfwng Brexit hwn, a'r sefyllfa -
English: Let the leader of the opposition continue his questioning. [ Interruption.] Allow the leader of the opposition to continue his questioning and for it to be heard.
Welsh: Gadewch i arweinydd yr wrthblaid barhau â'i gwestiwn. [ Torri ar draws.] Gadewch i arweinydd yr wrthblaid barhau â'i gwestiwn ac iddo gael ei glywed.
English: This Brexit impasse, and the position we now find ourselves in, has been created as a result of your Labour MPs having frustrated - [ Interruption.] - yes, having frustrated the Brexit process, against the will of the Welsh and British people. [ Interruption.]
Welsh: Crëwyd y cyfwng Brexit hwn, a'r sefyllfa yr ydym ni ynddi nawr, o ganlyniad i'r ffaith bod eich ASau Llafur chi wedi rhwystro - [ Torri ar draws.] - ie, wedi rhwystro'r broses Brexit, yn groes i ewyllys pobl Cymru a Phrydain. [ Torri ar draws.]
English: You may disagree with what the leader of the opposition is saying, but he does deserve to be heard. I want to hear him.
Welsh: Efallai eich bod chi'n anghytuno â'r hyn y mae arweinydd yr wrthblaid yn ei ddweud, ond mae'n haeddu cael ei glywed. Rwyf i eisiau ei glywed.
English: Diolch, Llywydd. You know full well, First Minister, that if your colleagues had voted for the previous UK Government's withdrawal Bill, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. We would have left the European Union by now in an orderly fashion. But we can now see that, given your own Government's position, you don't respect the result of the referendum, because you've now made it clear that you want to stay in the European Union, full stop. Clearly, First Minister, the only way - the only way - we're going to get out of this situation now is to have a general election as soon as possible. And, as you know, the Prime Minister sought a general election just a few weeks ago, and your party, despite having called for one months and, indeed, years, had the audacity to vote it down. Come on, First Minister, what are you afraid of? So, will your Government therefore now support a general election as soon as possible, because this is the only way we can actually resolve this situation?
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Rydych chi'n gwybod yn iawn, Prif Weinidog, pe byddai eich cyd-Aelodau wedi pleidleisio o blaid Bil ymadael Llywodraeth flaenorol y DU, na fyddem ni'n cael y sgwrs hon. Byddem ni wedi gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd erbyn hyn mewn modd trefnus. Ond gallwn weld yn awr, o ystyried safbwynt eich Llywodraeth eich hun, nad ydych chi'n parchu canlyniad y refferendwm, gan eich bod chi wedi ei gwneud yn eglur erbyn hyn eich bod chi eisiau aros yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd, a dyna'i diwedd hi. Yn amlwg, Prif Weinidog, yr unig ffordd - yr unig ffordd - yr ydym ni'n mynd i ddianc o'r sefyllfa hon nawr yw cael etholiad cyffredinol cyn gynted a phosibl. Ac, fel y gwyddoch, ceisiodd Prif Weinidog y DU drefnu etholiad cyffredinol ychydig wythnosau yn ôl, ac roedd eich plaid chi, er iddi alw am un ers misoedd a blynyddoedd, mewn gwirionedd, yn ddigon digywilydd i bleidleisio yn ei erbyn. Dewch ymlaen, Prif Weinidog, beth ydych chi'n ei ofni? Felly, a wnaiff eich Llywodraeth gefnogi etholiad cyffredinol cyn gynted â phosibl nawr, oherwydd dyma'r unig ffordd y gallwn ni ddatrys y sefyllfa hon mewn gwirionedd?
English: Llywydd, I'm afraid I'm left a bit confused by the Member's contribution. He describes the Supreme Court as exorbitant and then urges us all to respect the rule of law. Last week, he was busy trying to dismiss the views of the most senior court in Scotland as though they counted for absolutely nothing. I'm not certain today whether he hasn't applied the same approach to the Supreme Court as well. I too have the judgment here. I agree with Mark Reckless that Members would want to read it. It is an exceptionally clearly argued judgment. The Member says that the court has departed from existing norms. It was asked to adjudicate in a situation where, as the judgment makes clear, the Prime Minister had departed from existing norms entirely, and to the detriment of the rule of law and to our democracy. That's the conclusion that I think anybody who cares to study this judgment will come to, and that's why it has the seriousness and weight that we ought to attach to it.
Welsh: Llywydd, mae gen i ofn fy mod i wedi fy nrysu braidd gan gyfraniad yr Aelod. Mae'n dweud bod y Goruchaf Lys yn afresymol ac yna'n annog pob un ohonom ni i barchu rheol y gyfraith. Yr wythnos diwethaf, roedd yn brysur yn ceisio wfftio safbwyntiau'r llys uchaf yn yr Alban fel pe bai'n cyfrif am ddim byd o gwbl. Nid wyf i'n siŵr heddiw a yw wedi defnyddio'r un dull gyda'r Goruchaf Lys hefyd. Mae'r dyfarniad gennyf innau yma hefyd. Rwy'n cytuno â Mark Reckless y byddai'r Aelodau eisiau ei ddarllen. Mae'n ddyfarniad sydd wedi ei ddadlau yn eithriadol o eglur. Mae'r Aelod yn dweud bod y llys wedi mynd yn groes i arferion presennol. Gofynnwyd i'r llys ddyfarnu mewn sefyllfa lle'r oedd Prif Weinidog y DU, fel y mae'r dyfarniad yn ei egluro, wedi mynd yn groes i arferion presennol yn llwyr, ac ar draul rheolaeth y gyfraith a'n democratiaeth. Dyna'r casgliad y credaf y bydd unrhyw un sy'n dymuno astudio'r dyfarniad hwn yn dod iddo, a dyna pam mae ganddo'r difrifoldeb a'r pwys y dylem ni eu priodoli iddo.
English: That concludes the emergency question.
Welsh: Dyna ddiwedd ar y cwestiwn brys.
English: The first item on our agenda, therefore, according to the order paper, is questions to the First Minister. The first question under this item is from Huw Irranca-Davies.
Welsh: Yr eitem gyntaf, felly, ar yr agenda, yn ôl y papur trefn, yw'r cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog. Mae'r cwestiwn cyntaf yn yr eitem yma gan Huw Irranca-Davies.
English: Llywydd, I thank Huw Irranca-Davies for that question. The Welsh Government helps to support jobs and economic development across Wales, including in Ogmore, through our economic action plan. Between 2011 and 2019, the unemployment rate in Ogmore fell by 52 per cent, and that exceeded the fall in the rest of Wales and the fall across the United Kingdom.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolch i Huw Irranca-Davies am y cwestiwn yna. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn helpu i gefnogi swyddi a datblygiad economaidd ledled Cymru, gan gynnwys yn Ogwr, drwy ein cynllun gweithredu economaidd. Rhwng 2011 a 2019, gostyngodd y gyfradd diweithdra yn Ogwr gan 52 y cant, ac roedd hynny'n fwy na'r gostyngiad yng ngweddill Cymru a'r gostyngiad ledled y Deyrnas Unedig.
English: That is welcome news, First Minister. Last week's announcement - confirmation of the investment of Ineos in my neighbour's seat in Bridgend - was welcomed throughout Bridgend and Ogmore and the whole region, showing once again that the Welsh Government has indeed stepped up to the mark to support our manufacturing base and jobs. Whilst this can't replace in its entirety the 1,700 jobs, it shows a confidence in the area and in the skills of the workforce that is hugely reassuring. But could I ask the First Minister about the wider and sustained investment and support by the Welsh Government and its agencies in the Ogmore constituency over the last three years of this Assembly term: how many jobs and training places created and sustained, how many business start-ups, how many business support grants and loans and advice provided? If the Minister could give me a flavour in his response today, I'd be grateful, though I'm happy to have chapter and verse in a more detailed answer afterwards. And would he confirm that the Bridgend and Ogmore M4 belt is still home to some of the largest concentrations of manufacturing in Wales and some of the most highly skilled workers?
Welsh: Mae hynny'n newyddion i'w groesawu, Prif Weinidog. Croesawyd cyhoeddiad yr wythnos diwethaf - cadarnhad o fuddsoddiad Ineos yn sedd fy nghymydog ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr - ledled Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr ac Ogwr a'r rhanbarth cyfan, gan ddangos unwaith eto bod Llywodraeth Cymru, yn wir, wedi camu i'r adwy i gefnogi ein sylfaen gweithgynhyrchu a swyddi. Er na all hyn ddisodli'n llwyr y 1,700 o swyddi, mae'n dangos ffydd yn yr ardal ac yn sgiliau'r gweithlu sy'n galonogol iawn. Ond a gaf i ofyn i'r Prif Weinidog am y buddsoddiad a'r cymorth ehangach a pharhaus gan Lywodraeth Cymru a'i hasiantaethau yn etholaeth Ogwr dros dair blynedd olaf tymor y Cynulliad hwn: faint o swyddi a lleoedd hyfforddi a grëwyd ac a gynhaliwyd, faint o fusnesau newydd, faint o grantiau cymorth busnes a benthyciadau a chyngor a ddarparwyd? Pe gallai'r Gweinidog roi blas i mi yn ei ymateb heddiw, byddwn yn ddiolchgar, er fy mod i'n hapus i gael y stori lawn mewn ateb mwy manwl wedyn. Ac a wnaiff ef gadarnhau bod llain M4 Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr ac Ogwr yn dal i fod yn gartref i rai o'r crynodiadau mwyaf o weithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru a rhai o'r gweithwyr mwyaf medrus?
English: I thank the Member for that question. I thank him for what he said at the start about Ineos - the culmination of long and intense negotiations carried out by officials in the Welsh Government, led by my colleague, Ken Skates. We were delighted to be able to bring those jobs to people in the Bridgend and Ogmore area, given what has happened there earlier this year. Of course, Huw Irranca-Davies is right that the Bridgend and Ogmore M4 belt is still home to a large concentration of manufacturing in Wales - Invacare, Sony, for example - and they're there because of the benefits of having a highly skilled and motivated workforce. The Member asked me, Llywydd, about chapter and verse of the things that have been done to support the economy and manufacturing industry in that part of Wales. Here are just three examples: since 2015, Business Wales has helped in the creation of over 200 new enterprises in the area that is represented by Huw Irranca-Davies and by the Member for Bridgend. Since 2016, the Development Bank of Wales has invested over £9 million in businesses in Bridgend alone. And, since 2018, the economy futures fund has approved projects in the Bridgend and Ogmore area that are valued at over £8 million. All of that shows the determination of this Government to go on investing in those places and those people that have created such success in manufacturing in the M4 belt around Bridgend and Ogmore in recent times.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn yna. Diolchaf iddo am yr hyn a ddywedodd ar y cychwyn am Ineos - penllanw trafodaethau hir a dwys a gynhaliwyd gan swyddogion yn Llywodraeth Cymru, dan arweiniad fy nghyd-Weinidog, Ken Skates. Roeddem ni'n falch iawn o allu dod â'r swyddi hynny i bobl yn ardal Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr ac Ogwr, o gofio'r hyn sydd wedi digwydd yno yn gynharach eleni. Wrth gwrs, mae Huw Irranca-Davies yn iawn bod llain M4 Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr ac Ogwr yn dal i fod yn gartref i grynodiad mawr o weithgynhyrchu yng Nghymru - Invacare, Sony, er enghraifft - ac maen nhw yno oherwydd manteision bod â gweithlu hynod fedrus a brwdfrydig. Gofynnodd yr Aelod i mi, Llywydd, am stori lawn y pethau a wnaed i gefnogi'r economi a'r diwydiant gweithgynhyrchu yn y rhan honno o Gymru. Dyma dair enghraifft yn unig: ers 2015, mae Busnes Cymru wedi helpu i greu dros 200 o fentrau newydd yn yr ardal a gynrychiolir gan Huw Irranca-Davies a chan yr Aelod dros Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr. Ers 2016, mae Banc Datblygu Cymru wedi buddsoddi dros £9 miliwn mewn busnesau ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr yn unig. Ac, ers 2018, mae cronfa dyfodol yr economi wedi cymeradwyo prosiectau yn ardal Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr ac Ogwr sydd werth dros £8 miliwn. Mae hynny i gyd yn dangos penderfyniad y Llywodraeth hon i barhau i fuddsoddi yn y lleoedd hynny a'r bobl hynny sydd wedi creu cymaint o lwyddiant ym maes gweithgynhyrchu ar lain yr M4 o amgylch Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr ac Ogwr yn y cyfnod diweddar.
English: I'd like to acknowledge the work of both our Governments in bringing Ineos to just outside my region, but for the benefit of the whole of the region and beyond. The economic development that Huw Irranca-Davies referred to, of course, needs a well-prepared workforce who've had the best out of their school and college experience. I wonder if one of the greatest risks to that sustained economic development that he was talking about, including Ogmore, will be cross-sector employer loss of confidence in the robustness and accountability of the education system. Do you share Jeremy Corbyn's views that an independent school inspectorate is unnecessary?
Welsh: Hoffwn gydnabod gwaith ein dwy Lywodraeth mewn dod ag Ineos i gyrion fy rhanbarth i, ond er budd y rhanbarth cyfan a thu hwnt. Mae'r datblygiad economaidd y cyfeiriodd Huw Irranca-Davies ato, wrth gwrs, angen gweithlu sydd wedi ei baratoi'n dda sydd wedi cael y gorau o'u profiad yn yr ysgol a'r coleg. Tybed ai un o'r risgiau mwyaf i'r datblygiad economaidd parhaus hwnnw yr oedd yn sôn amdano, gan gynnwys Ogwr, fydd cyflogwyr traws-sector yn colli ffydd yng nghadernid ac atebolrwydd y system addysg. A ydych chi'n rhannu safbwyntiau Jeremy Corbyn bod arolygiaeth ysgolion annibynnol yn ddiangen?
English: Well, Llywydd, there were some imaginative leaps in that question; I congratulate the Member. If there was an academic qualification in that, she'd be well advanced. Look, the reason why employers go to Bridgend is because of the qualifications and skills that the workforce already have. The proportion of working age adults in Bridgend with at least two A-levels or the equivalent has been increasing year on year, and last year, 2018, reached the highest it had ever seen. And our investment in education, in apprenticeships here in Wales, in skills and employability, gives us confidence and gives employers confidence to invest in that area because they know that they will have a workforce there ready and willing to do the jobs that can be attracted to it. We have a very different education system here in Wales. Education is devolved - I remind Members of that. Decisions that other people make about what is right in their areas have no direct read-off for us. We think we have an inspection regime and system here in Wales that works for schools, that works for students, that works for parents, and we're very happy that we have that in place and can continue with it.
Welsh: Wel, Llywydd, cafwyd rhai tybiaethau llawn dychymyg yn y cwestiwn hwnnw; llongyfarchaf yr Aelod. Pe byddai cymhwyster academaidd yn y maes hwnnw, byddai ar lefel uchel iawn. Edrychwch, y rheswm pam mae cyflogwyr yn mynd i Ben-y-bont ar Ogwr yw'r cymwysterau a'r sgiliau sydd gan y gweithlu eisoes. Mae cyfran yr oedolion o oedran gweithio ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr sydd ag o leiaf dau gymhwyster safon uwch neu gyfatebol wedi cynyddu o flwyddyn i flwyddyn, a'r llynedd, 2018, cyrhaeddodd yr uchaf a fu erioed. Ac mae ein buddsoddiad mewn addysg, mewn prentisiaethau yma yng Nghymru, mewn sgiliau a chyflogadwyedd, yn rhoi hyder i ni ac yn rhoi hyder i gyflogwyr fuddsoddi yn yr ardal honno gan eu bod nhw'n gwybod y bydd ganddyn nhw weithlu yno sy'n barod ac yn fodlon gwneud y swyddi y gellir eu denu i'r ardal honno. Mae gennym ni system addysg wahanol iawn yma yng Nghymru. Mae addysg wedi ei ddatganoli - atgoffaf yr Aelodau o hynny. Nid oes gan penderfyniadau y mae pobl eraill yn eu gwneud am yr hyn sy'n iawn yn eu hardaloedd nhw unrhyw effaith uniongyrchol arnom ni. Rydym ni'n credu bod gennym ni drefn a system arolygu yma yng Nghymru sy'n gweithio i ysgolion, sy'n gweithio i fyfyrwyr, sy'n gweithio i rieni, ac rydym ni'n hapus iawn bod hynny ar waith gennym ni ac y gallwn barhau ag ef.
English: First Minister, the news that Ineos will be producing project Grenadier in the region will be welcome relief for my constituents in Ogmore and the wider South Wales West region. However, we must diversify and futureproof our jobs market if we are to change the economic fortunes of Ogmore and the wider region. First Minister, how will your Government equip the current and future workforce with the necessary skills to compete in industry 4.0? Thank you.
Welsh: Prif Weinidog, bydd y newyddion y bydd Ineos yn cynhyrchu prosiect Grenadier yn y rhanbarth yn rhyddhad i'w groesawu i'm hetholwyr yn Ogwr a rhanbarth Gorllewin De Cymru yn ehangach. Fodd bynnag, mae'n rhaid i ni arallgyfeirio a diogelu ein marchnad swyddi ar gyfer y dyfodol os ydym ni'n mynd i newid ffawd economaidd Ogwr a'r rhanbarth ehangach. Prif Weinidog, sut y bydd eich Llywodraeth yn arfogi gweithlu'r presennol a'r dyfodol â'r sgiliau angenrheidiol i gystadlu mewn diwydiant 4.0? Diolch.
English: Llywydd, I thank the Member for what she said about Ineos, and I agree with what she said, that the future of the Welsh economy does rely on diversification, responding to the challenges that we know will be there for jobs in the future, including automation. We have agreements with employers in all parts of Wales. Our economic contract approach means that we see this as a shared responsibility, a responsibility that is shared between Government, between employers and between employees as well, and the work the trade unions in Wales have done in mapping out some of the opportunities that will come to jobs in Wales through automation is amongst the best contributions that you will see to the response to diversification that Caroline Jones has suggested that we need. But it isn't the responsibility of any one partner - it is the responsibility of everyone; that's why we have a social partnership approach here in Wales. And, by working together in that way, we can have confidence that we are able to face the challenges and the opportunities that will come the way of the Welsh economy as a result of changes that we all know are happening in the world around us.
Welsh: Llywydd, diolchaf i'r Aelod am yr hyn a ddywedodd am Ineos, ac rwy'n cytuno â'r hyn a ddywedodd, bod dyfodol economi Cymru yn dibynnu ar arallgyfeirio, gan ymateb i'r heriau y gwyddom y byddan nhw yno ar gyfer swyddi yn y dyfodol, gan gynnwys awtomatiaeth. Mae gennym ni gytundebau gyda chyflogwyr ym mhob rhan o Gymru. Mae ein dull contract economaidd yn golygu ein bod ni'n ystyried hwn fel cyfrifoldeb a rennir, cyfrifoldeb a rennir rhwng y Llywodraeth, rhwng cyflogwyr a rhwng cyflogeion hefyd, ac mae'r gwaith y mae'r undebau llafur yng Nghymru wedi ei wneud o ran mapio rhai o'r cyfleoedd a fydd yn dod i swyddi yng Nghymru drwy awtomatiaeth ymhlith y cyfraniadau gorau y byddwch chi'n eu gweld i'r ymateb i arallgyfeirio y mae Caroline Jones wedi awgrymu sydd ei angen arnom ni. Ond nid yw'n gyfrifoldeb i unrhyw un partner - mae'n gyfrifoldeb i bawb; dyna pam mae gennym ni ddull partneriaeth gymdeithasol yma yng Nghymru. A, thrwy weithio gyda'n gilydd yn y ffordd honno, gallwn fod yn hyderus ein bod ni'n gallu wynebu'r heriau a'r cyfleoedd a fydd yn dod i economi Cymru o ganlyniad i newidiadau yr ydym ni i gyd yn gwybod sy'n digwydd yn y byd o'n cwmpas.
English: Llywydd, the Welsh Government remains committed to a comprehensive education system that ensures everyone, no matter their background, has the opportunity to reach their potential. There is no evidence that free schools have raised standards in England, while the Sutton Trust has found that the policy has failed to fulfil its purpose.
Welsh: Llywydd, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i fod yn ymrwymedig i system addysg gynhwysfawr sy'n sicrhau bod pawb, waeth beth fo'u cefndir, yn cael y cyfle i wireddu eu potensial. Nid oes unrhyw dystiolaeth bod ysgolion rhydd wedi codi safonau yn Lloegr, ac mae Ymddiriedolaeth Sutton wedi canfod bod y polisi wedi methu â chyflawni ei ddiben.
English: Thank you, First Minister. Do you agree with me that the Prime Minister's intention, as he put it, to create 30 free schools across the UK - perhaps that's an improper comment - shows his ignorance of devolution, because, as we all know in this Chamber, education is devolved? Will the First Minister continue then to assure the people of Wales that we will not see the marketisation of education in Wales via the establishment of free schools?
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. A ydych chi'n cytuno â mi bod bwriad Prif Weinidog y DU, fel y dywedodd, i greu 30 o ysgolion rhydd ar draws y DU - efallai fod hwnnw'n sylw amhriodol - yn dangos ei anwybodaeth o ddatganoli, oherwydd, fel yr ydym ni i gyd yn ymwybodol yn y Siambr hon, mae addysg wedi ei datganoli? A wnaiff y Prif Weinidog barhau felly i roi sicrwydd i bobl Cymru na fyddwn ni'n gweld marchnadeiddio addysg yng Nghymru drwy sefydlu ysgolion rhydd?
English: I thank Carwyn Jones for that supplementary question, Llywydd. I hope he's right; I hope that it was simply that the Prime Minister didn't understand devolution. That would be one thing. But I have an anxiety that behind that statement may lie some intentionality. Some Members here will remember the speech that Michael Gove made in Edinburgh during the Conservative leadership election, when he said that the way to cement the United Kingdom was for the UK Government to set up, in devolved areas, schools and hospitals for which they would have responsibility. It was, I thought, an idea designed to lead to the disintegration of the United Kingdom, and let us hope that when the Prime Minister referred to 30 free schools across the United Kingdom he wasn't echoing that particularly unhappy idea. Education is devolved to Wales; we have deliberately, intentionally, and over the whole time of devolution turned our back on the idea that creating a market in education is the best way to drive up standards. It absolutely doesn't. It simply results in those who have advantages already becoming even more advantaged in future. Our education policies have always been based on our belief that every child should have an equal chance to make the very best use of all the talents that that child possesses and that it should not be an accident of the sort of school that they go to and the type of education that they receive that should determine those chances in life. That's what free schools do. That's why we won't be having them in Wales.
Welsh: Diolchaf i Carwyn Jones am y cwestiwn atodol yna, Llywydd. Rwy'n gobeithio ei fod yn iawn; rwy'n gobeithio ei fod yn fater syml nad oedd Prif Weinidog y DU yn deall datganoli. Byddai hynny'n un peth. Ond mae gen i bryder mawr efallai fod rhywfaint o fwriadoldeb y tu ôl i'r datganiad hwnnw. Bydd rhai Aelodau yn y fan yma yn cofio'r araith a wnaeth Michael Gove yng Nghaeredin yn ystod etholiad arweinyddiaeth y Ceidwadwyr, pan ddywedodd mai'r ffordd i gadarnhau'r Deyrnas Unedig oedd i Lywodraeth y DU sefydlu, mewn ardaloedd datganoledig, ysgolion ac ysbytai y byddai ganddyn nhw gyfrifoldeb amdanyn nhw. Roedd yn syniad, meddyliais, o oedd â'r nod o arwain at chwalu'r Deyrnas Unedig, a gadewch i ni obeithio pan gyfeiriodd Prif Weinidog y DU at 30 o ysgolion rhydd ledled y Deyrnas Unedig nad oedd yn adleisio'r syniad arbennig o anhapus hwnnw. Mae addysg wedi ei datganoli i Gymru; rydym ni wedi mynd ati'n bwrpasol, yn fwriadol, a thrwy gydol cyfnod datganoli wedi cefnu ar y syniad mai creu marchnad ym maes addysg yw'r ffordd orau i godi safonau. Mae'n bendant nad yw'n gwneud hynny. Y cwbl mae'n ei wneud yw sicrhau bod y rhai sydd â manteision eisoes yn dod yn fwy breintiedig fyth yn y dyfodol. Mae ein polisïau addysg wedi eu seilio erioed ar ein cred y dylai pob plentyn gael cyfle cyfartal i wneud y defnydd gorau posibl o'r holl dalentau y mae'r plentyn hwnnw'n meddu arnynt ac mai nid damwain o'r math o ysgol y mae'n mynd iddi a'r math o addysg y mae'n ei derbyn a ddylai bennu'r cyfleoedd hynny mewn bywyd. Dyna'r hyn y mae ysgolion rhydd yn ei wneud. Dyna pam na fyddwn ni'n eu cael nhw yng Nghymru.
