English: Diolch, Llywydd, and can I move the amendment, which is tabled in my name? The Cabinet Secretary started his speech with a reference to the context around this budget and the context in which he has had to set it. He referred a great deal to austerity and the challenges that the UK Government has had to face, and, as a result, the Welsh Government has had to face as a result of the pressure on public finances, but he didn't mention at any time the fact that the reason that we were having to cope with austerity in recent years has been as a result of the disastrous state of public finances that were left by Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling during the Labour Government's time in office. Now, let me give you a little bit more detail on the context in which this budget has been set, because whilst you have heard that austerity is continuing, nothing could actually be further from the truth. The Welsh Government has a budget in excess of £16 billion next year. It's a record-breaking budget, the largest budget the Welsh Government has ever received, and actually the budget will have increased over the period of the spending review, over and above inflation, between 2015 and 2020. This year is the biggest budget in the history of devolution, and the current funding arrangements between the Welsh Government and the UK Government mean that for every single pound spent on a devolved area in England, Wales receives £1.20 to spend here. On top of that, the recent spending decisions announced by the Chancellor in his autumn budget mean that the Welsh Government's revenue budget is going to increase by £550 million - that's over £0.5 billion by 2021. And in addition to that extra cash, the UK Government is scrapping the Severn bridge tolls, expected to give £100 million a year boost to the Welsh economy every year. It's already committed to supporting the development of a mid Wales growth deal, and it has pledged, unlike the Welsh Government, £120 million for a north Wales growth deal, and I think that it's about time you put your hand in your pocket to put some money on the table too. So, you've got a rising budget from Westminster and you've got new flexibility in terms of the taxation powers that have been devolved by the UK Conservative Government and that, I believe, is the context in which you are setting your budget and I believe it gives you an opportunity - [ Interruption.] - to do things differently. I'll happily take an intervention.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd, ac a gaf i gynnig y gwelliant, a gyflwynwyd yn fy enw i? Dechreuodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ei araith drwy gyfeirio at gyd-destun y gyllideb hon a'r cyd-destun y bu'n rhaid iddo ei llunio ynddo. Cyfeiriodd lawer at gyni cyllidol a'r heriau y bu'n rhaid i Lywodraeth y DU eu hwynebu, ac, o ganlyniad, y bu'n rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru eu hwynebu o ganlyniad i'r pwysau ar gyllid cyhoeddus, ond ni chyfeiriodd ar unrhyw adeg at y ffaith mai'r rheswm pam roeddem ni'n gorfod ymdopi â chyni cyllidol yn y blynyddoedd diwethaf oedd o ganlyniad i gyflwr trychinebus cyllid cyhoeddus a adawyd gan Gordon Brown ac Alistair Darling yn ystod cyfnod y Llywodraeth Lafur. Nawr, gadewch i mi roi ychydig mwy o fanylion i chi am y cyd-destun y lluniwyd y gyllideb hon ynddo, oherwydd er eich bod chi wedi clywed bod cyni cyllidol yn parhau, ni allai dim fod yn bellach o'r gwirionedd. Mae gan Lywodraeth Cymru gyllideb o dros £16 biliwn y flwyddyn nesaf. Dyna'r gyllideb fwyaf erioed, y gyllideb fwyaf y mae Llywodraeth Cymru erioed wedi ei derbyn, ac mewn gwirionedd bydd y gyllideb wedi cynyddu dros gyfnod yr adolygiad o wariant, uwchlaw chwyddiant, rhwng 2015 a 2020. Eleni yw'r gyllideb fwyaf yn hanes datganoli, ac mae'r trefniadau ariannu presennol rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU yn golygu bod Cymru yn cael £1.20 i'w wario yma ar gyfer pob punt sy'n cael ei gwario ar faes datganoledig yn Lloegr. Ar ben hynny, mae'r penderfyniadau gwariant diweddar a gyhoeddwyd gan y Canghellor yn ei gyllideb hydref yn golygu bod cyllideb refeniw Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i gynyddu £550 miliwn - dros £0.5 biliwn erbyn 2021. Ac yn ogystal â'r arian ychwanegol hwnnw, mae Llywodraeth y DU yn diddymu tollau pontydd Hafren, a disgwylir i hynny roi hwb o £100 miliwn y flwyddyn i economi Cymru bob blwyddyn. Mae eisoes wedi ymrwymo i gefnogi datblygiad bargen twf y canolbarth, ac mae wedi addo, yn wahanol i Lywodraeth Cymru, £120 miliwn ar gyfer bargen twf y gogledd, ac rwy'n meddwl ei bod hi'n hen bryd i chi roi eich llaw yn eich poced i roi rhywfaint o arian ar y bwrdd hefyd. Felly, mae gennych chi gyllideb sy'n cynyddu gan San Steffan ac mae gennych chi hyblygrwydd newydd o ran y pwerau trethu a ddatganolwyd gan Lywodraeth Geidwadol y DU a dyna, rwy'n credu, yw'r cyd-destun yr ydych chi'n llunio eich cyllideb ynddo ac rwy'n credu ei fod yn rhoi cyfle i chi - [ Torri ar draws.] - i wneud pethau'n wahanol. Rwy'n hapus i dderbyn ymyriad.
