English: The Scottish Government has recently announced a set of proposals as part of its response to the cost-of-living crisis, and I was wondering if I could ask you, Prif Weinidog, if you also have plans to introduce measures that they have announced in relation to housing, particularly a moratorium on evictions similar to the one that was introduced in the pandemic and an associated rent freeze across all sectors - public, private and social. We're seeing huge inflation, aren't we, in rent costs in Wales? Indeed, the Centre for Cities recently pointed out that, actually, Wales was one of the worst areas in terms of inflationary costs in the UK. In fact, it's Wales and the north of England that are actually seeing the highest rises in costs for families. So, the proposal that the Scottish Government has introduced is, I think, absolutely imperative here in Wales. In relation to energy, of course, investing in insulation, important for environmental, long-term reasons, is now even more important as a result of this immediate crisis. So, we seem to be in a little bit of an interregnum between the old programmes that are coming to an end and the very extensive, ambitious plans that the Welsh Government has to meet its targets for decarbonisation and energy insulation by the end of this decade. Can we pump prime now? Can we bring forward those capital investment plans, so that we can provide as much immediate help to families as we can, again using that dual purpose of addressing the cost-of-living crisis while doing something that we need to do for more longer term reasons? Bringing you back, of course, to transport, which we discussed earlier. And, by the way, the Scottish Labour Party is criticising the fare freeze in Scotland, saying that it's not going far enough; it's calling for the halving of rail fares in Scotland. But could the First Minister say when we can expect an announcement at least on rail fares in Wales for next year? You mentioned the educational maintenance allowance. Of course, I think it was created about 20 years ago; it hasn't kept up with inflation. So, could we not see that increase to £45, which is where it would be if it had kept up with inflation? Now, surely, is the time to do that, when so many young people are suffering the worst effects of this cost-of-living crisis. You refer to the 'Claim what's yours' campaign. I absolutely support making sure that people claim what they're entitled to. Are we doing the same for Welsh Government funds, so that we make sure that there isn't underclaiming there as well? Perhaps if you could say what plans you have on that. And, in relation to the Scottish Government as well, one thing that they have been able to do in the areas where there is devolution of welfare payments - so, about 15 per cent, there or there about, of welfare payments are devolved - they've uprated those using the power that they have. Surely, this is the strongest argument in favour of the devolution of welfare payments. That 15 per cent of welfare payments is not devolved to Wales, therefore we are entirely dependent on the decisions of the Conservative Government in Westminster, which is not as progressive. So, surely now is the time as well to make sure that we are making the strongest case possible for the devolution of those powers. You said you were focusing here on the domestic aspect of the crisis, but can I just ask, obviously, the effect on businesses is going to have a domestic consequence, isn't it, if people lose their jobs? So, is the Welsh Government going to propose increasing the level of funding for businesses that are also facing extreme economic pressure, which in many, many cases will drive those businesses into bankruptcy and lead to unemployment? Welsh Government urgent support for the business sector is critically important at this time as well.
Welsh: Cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth yr Alban gyfres o gynigion yn ddiweddar yn rhan o'i hymateb i'r argyfwng costau byw, a meddwl oeddwn i tybed a gawn i ofyn i chi, Prif Weinidog, a oes gennych chithau hefyd gynlluniau i gyflwyno mesurau fel yr un a gyhoeddwyd yno o ran tai, yn enwedig moratoriwm ar droi allan yn debyg i'r un a gyflwynwyd yn y pandemig a rhewi rhent cysylltiedig ar draws pob sector - cyhoeddus, preifat a chymdeithasol. Rydym ni'n gweld chwyddiant aruthrol, on'd ydym ni, mewn costau rhent yng Nghymru? Yn wir, fe dynnodd y Centre for Cities sylw yn ddiweddar at y ffaith mai Cymru, mewn gwirionedd, oedd un o'r ardaloedd gwaethaf o ran costau chwyddiant yn y DU. Yn wir, Cymru a gogledd Lloegr sydd, mewn gwirionedd, yn gweld y cynnydd uchaf mewn costau i deuluoedd. Felly, mae'r cynnig y mae Llywodraeth yr Alban wedi ei gyflwyno, rwy'n credu, yn gwbl hanfodol yma yng Nghymru. O ran ynni, wrth gwrs, mae buddsoddi mewn insiwleiddio, sy'n bwysig am resymau amgylcheddol, hirdymor, yn bwysicach fyth erbyn hyn o ganlyniad i'r argyfwng uniongyrchol hwn. Felly, mae hi'n ymddangos ein bod ni mewn cyfnod pontio rhwng yr hen raglenni sy'n dod i ben a'r cynlluniau helaeth iawn, uchelgeisiol sy'n pennu bod yn rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru gyrraedd ei nodau ar gyfer datgarboneiddio ac inswleiddio ynni erbyn diwedd y degawd hwn. A gawn ni hybu gweithgarwch drwy fuddsoddi nawr? A gawn ni gyflwyno'r cynlluniau buddsoddi cyfalaf hynny, ar gyfer gallu darparu cymaint o gymorth ar unwaith i deuluoedd ag y gallwn ni, unwaith eto gan ddefnyddio'r pwrpas deuol hwnnw o fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng costau byw wrth wneud rhywbeth y mae angen i ni ei wneud am resymau mwy hirdymor? Gan ddod â chi yn ôl, wrth gwrs, at drafnidiaeth, y gwnaethom ni ei drafod yn gynharach. A gyda llaw, mae Plaid Lafur yr Alban yn beirniadu rhewi prisiau teithio yn yr Alban, gan ddweud nad yw hynny'n mynd yn ddigon pell; mae'n galw am haneru prisiau tocynnau rheilffordd yn yr Alban. Ond a wnaiff y Prif Weinidog ddweud wrthym ni pa bryd y gallwn ni ddisgwyl cyhoeddiad o leiaf ynglŷn â phrisiau trenau yng Nghymru ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf? Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am y lwfans cynhaliaeth addysg. Wrth gwrs, rwy'n creu i hwnnw gael ei greu tua 20 mlynedd yn ôl; nid yw wedi cadw i fyny gyda chwyddiant. Felly, oni chawn ni weld y cynnydd hwnnw i £45, sef yr hyn a fyddai pe bai wedi cadw i fyny â chwyddiant? Nawr, siawns gen i, yw'r amser i wneud hynny, pan fo cymaint o bobl ifanc yn dioddef effeithiau gwaethaf yr argyfwng costau byw hwn. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am ymgyrch 'Hawliwch yr hyn sy'n ddyledus i chi'. Rwy'n llwyr gefnogi sicrhau bod pobl yn hawlio'r hyn y mae ganddyn nhw hawl iddo. A ydym ni'n gwneud yr un peth ar gyfer cronfeydd Llywodraeth Cymru, fel ein bod ni'n gwneud yn siŵr nad oes yna ddiffyg hawlio yn hynny o beth hefyd? Efallai y gallech chi ddweud wrthym ni pa gynlluniau sydd gennych chi ynglŷn â hynny. Ac, o ran Llywodraeth yr Alban hefyd, un peth y maen nhw wedi gallu ei wneud yn y meysydd lle ceir datganoli taliadau lles - felly, tua 15 y cant, neu tua hynny, o daliadau lles sydd wedi'u datganoli - maen nhw wedi cynyddu'r rhai hynny gan ddefnyddio'r pŵer sydd ganddyn nhw. Yn ddiamau, dyma'r ddadl gryfaf o blaid datganoli taliadau lles. Ni chaiff y 15 y cant hwn o daliadau lles eu datganoli i Gymru, felly rydym ni'n gwbl ddibynnol ar benderfyniadau'r Llywodraeth Geidwadol yn San Steffan, nad yw hi mor flaengar. Felly siawns mai nawr yw'r amser i wneud yn siŵr hefyd ein bod ni'n dadlau'r achos cryfaf posibl ar gyfer datganoli'r pwerau hynny. Roeddech chi'n dweud eich bod chi'n canolbwyntio yma ar agwedd ddomestig yr argyfwng, ond a gaf i ddim ond gofyn, yn amlwg, fe fydd yr effaith ar fusnesau yn cael effaith ddomestig, oni bydd, os bydd pobl yn colli eu swyddi? Felly, a fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynnig cynyddu cyfradd y cyllid i fusnesau sy'n wynebu pwysau economaidd eithafol hefyd, a fydd, mewn llawer o achosion, yn gwneud y busnesau hynny'n fethdalwyr ac yn arwain at ddiweithdra? Mae cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru ar fyrder i'r sector busnes yn hanfodol bwysig ar hyn o bryd hefyd.
