English: Thank you, Minister, for the statement. Just a couple of things. This is a tax - it's not a levy - and it's Labour's prerogative to put taxes in, and they do that generally. That's why we're so different on this platform, certainly here in Wales. I would ask what evaluation have you already made of local authority spending plans and budgets around economic development and tourism, so they can achieve the goals you're trying to achieve with this levy. Because don't be naive in thinking that this levy will suddenly flow out to extra pavements and extra beach whatevers, or any attractions - this will go to fill gaps in hard-pressed budgets, and you won't see any additionality; you'll see an expectation of just clawing in an additional tax within that authority. I would like to know what reassurances you could give that those local authorities that decide not to do this aren't penalised through their future settlements as a result of not taking this up. And again, a point that has been raised a couple of times - how will you ensure that that tourism tax goes to do what you want it to do and it doesn't just backfill or substitute already economic budgets that are then diverted to social services, education or whatever? I'm absolutely one for unhypothecated moneys running through to local authorities, but I'm fearful that in this time of great need in local authorities that additional taxes like this will just go to fill in some of the pressures that authorities are facing. So, I would have said there's a far better way to have looked at some of the needs of our tourism communities, by working with local authorities and their current economic development strategies to enhance the offer we have in Wales. Many people in Wales - . What if you live in Wales and holiday in Wales? You're paying tax twice. You're paying tax into your local council tax to enhance the local economy and tourism, then you're asking them to pay again in Wales to stay and enjoy their holiday in Wales. So, there are so many things within this consultation that beg a lot of questions, and I think it's just an easy way out - just tax, tax, tax.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog, am y datganiad. Dim ond dau beth. Treth yw hon - nid ardoll mohono - a braint Llafur yw cyflwyno trethi, ac maen nhw'n gwneud hynny'n gyffredinol. Dyna pam rydym ni mor wahanol ar y llwyfan yma, yn sicr yma yng Nghymru. Byddwn i'n gofyn pa werthuso rydych chi eisoes wedi'i wneud o gynlluniau gwario awdurdodau lleol a chyllidebau ynghylch datblygu economaidd a thwristiaeth, fel y gallant gyflawni'r nodau rydych chi'n ceisio eu cyflawni gyda'r ardoll hwn. Oherwydd peidiwch â bod yn naïf wrth feddwl y bydd yr ardoll hwn yn arwain yn sydyn at balmentydd ychwanegol ac at bethau ychwanegol neu beth bynnag ar draethau, neu unrhyw atyniadau - bydd hyn yn mynd i lenwi bylchau mewn cyllidebau sydd dan bwysau mawr, ac ni fyddwch yn gweld unrhyw beth ychwanegol; fe welwch ddisgwyliad o ddim ond crafangu treth ychwanegol yn yr awdurdod hwnnw. Hoffwn wybod pa sicrwydd y gallwch ei roi na chaiff yr awdurdodau lleol hynny sy'n penderfynu peidio â gwneud hyn eu cosbi trwy eu setliadau yn y dyfodol o ganlyniad i beidio â gweithredu hyn. Ac eto, sylw a wnaed ddwywaith - sut fyddwch chi'n sicrhau y bydd treth dwristiaeth yn gwneud yr hyn rydych chi am iddi ei wneud ac nid dim ond ychwanegu at neu ddisodli cyllidebau economaidd sydd eisoes yn cael eu dargyfeirio i wasanaethau cymdeithasol, addysg neu beth bynnag? Rwy'n gwbl gefnogol i roi arian heb ei glustnodi i awdurdodau lleol, ond rwy'n ofni yn y cyfnod yma o angen mawr mewn awdurdodau lleol y caiff trethi ychwanegol fel hyn dim ond eu defnyddio i liniaru peth o'r pwysau mae awdurdodau'n eu hwynebu. Felly, byddwn wedi dweud bod ffordd lawer gwell o fod wedi edrych ar rai o anghenion ein cymunedau twristiaeth, drwy weithio gydag awdurdodau lleol a'u strategaethau datblygu economaidd presennol i wella'r cynnig sydd gennym ni yng Nghymru. Mae llawer o bobl yng Nghymru - . Beth os ydych chi'n byw yng Nghymru ac yn mynd ar wyliau yng Nghymru? Rydych yn talu treth ddwywaith. Rydych chi'n talu treth yn eich treth cyngor lleol i wella'r economi a thwristiaeth leol, yna rydych chi'n gofyn iddyn nhw dalu eto yng Nghymru i aros a mwynhau eu gwyliau yng Nghymru. Felly, mae cymaint o bethau yn yr ymgynghoriad hwn sy'n esgor ar lawer o gwestiynau, ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn ffordd hawdd o wynebu rhywbeth - trethu, trethu, trethu.
