English: Thinking particularly about a post-Brexit scenario, it was very interesting the evidence that we heard from the chair of the Haven Waterway zone talking about the potential with regard to free ports and free economic zones, because that, actually, is a policy idea where there is strong evidence globally that it works. It's much more specific than the broad-brush enterprise zone idea. Particularly, whatever happens over the next few days and weeks, if we do end up in a crash-out 'no deal' situation, then, actually, free ports could be a very, very important tool for many parts of Wales, some of which are covered by the enterprise zones. It would mitigate some of the worst economic damage that we could face. So, I would urge the Welsh Government to look proactively at this. Several mayors of the north of England have developed detailed proposals for free ports. They're lobbying the UK Government very actively, and the Cabinet Secretary has said in evidence to the External Affairs and Additional Legislation Committee, if there was a designation by the UK Government, then Wales should get its fair share. We need to do better than that. We need to actually be developing the business cases now. And, of course, free ports could include airports - it could include Cardiff Airport, it could include Airbus, of course, where we could designate the Airbus site in Broughton as having its own free port. It has the airport, of course, which it uses to transport its wings to Toulouse. Designating the Airbus site as a free port could actually be a means of dealing with any economic damage as a result of policies from the UK Government.
Welsh: Gan feddwl yn benodol am senario ôl-Brexit, roedd y dystiolaeth a glywsom gan gadeirydd ardal fenter Dyfrffordd y Ddau Gleddau a soniai am y potensial o borthladdoedd rhydd ac ardaloedd economaidd rhydd yn ddiddorol iawn, oherwydd, mewn gwirionedd, dyna syniad polisi lle y ceir tystiolaeth gref yn fyd-eang ei fod yn gweithio. Mae'n llawer mwy penodol na'r syniad bras o ardal fenter. Yn arbennig, beth bynnag sy'n digwydd dros yr ychydig ddyddiau ac wythnosau nesaf, os cawn ein hunain mewn sefyllfa 'dim bargen' yn y pen draw, gallai porthladdoedd rhydd fod yn offeryn pwysig iawn i lawer o rannau o Gymru, gyda rhai ohonynt yn perthyn i'r ardaloedd menter. Byddai'n lliniaru rhywfaint o'r difrod economaidd gwaethaf a allai ein hwynebu. Felly, buaswn yn annog Llywodraeth Cymru i edrych yn rhagweithiol ar hyn. Mae sawl un o feiri gogledd Lloegr wedi datblygu cynigion manwl ar gyfer porthladdoedd rhydd. Maent yn lobïo Llywodraeth y DU yn weithredol iawn, ac mae Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet wedi dweud mewn tystiolaeth i'r Pwyllgor Materion Allanol a Deddfwriaeth Ychwanegol, pe ceid dynodiad gan Lywodraeth y DU, dylai Cymru gael ei chyfran deg. Mae angen inni wneud yn well na hynny. Mae angen inni fod yn datblygu'r achosion busnes yn awr. Ac wrth gwrs, gallai porthladdoedd rhydd gynnwys meysydd awyr - gallai gynnwys Maes Awyr Caerdydd, gallai gynnwys Airbus, wrth gwrs, lle y gallem ddynodi bod gan safle Airbus ym Mrychdyn ei borthladd rhydd ei hun. Mae ganddo'r maes awyr, wrth gwrs, ac mae'n ei ddefnyddio i gludo ei adenydd i Toulouse. Gallai dynodi'r safle Airbus fel porthladd rhydd fod yn ffordd o ymdrin ag unrhyw niwed economaidd o ganlyniad i bolisïau gan Lywodraeth y DU.
