English: Thank you very much for those questions. I do very much recognise that the market in Newport is being impacted by the plans to scrap the tolls on the second Severn crossing. I recognise that and we're very alive to that in Government. That is why I was so pleased to attend, this week, the launch of Melin Homes's vision for Newport and parts of Monmouthshire for the next five years. They intend to build 1,000 new homes, but also, while they're doing that, trying to keep as much of the value as they possibly can within the community, which is why they're putting lots of focus on the work that they do in terms of employment and apprenticeships. I was really pleased to meet up with some of their apprentices and understand the benefits and the opportunities that they're having as a result of the investment that Melin Homes is making in them. And this is an opportunity for me to congratulate Melin Homes on being number 17 in The Sunday Times list of best not-for-profit organisations to work for. Certainly, speaking to those apprentices gave me a strong sense that they felt that they were very much being invested in and that they were working in an organisation where they felt valued as part of that culture. And the organisation, as well, has a really strong focus on encouraging women within it, and they hope to promote or attract women to take on larger numbers of their maintenance jobs as well, so moving women and providing opportunities for women in fields where they haven't always been available. So, that's certainly very positive, and I look forward to those 1,000 homes coming forward in the Newport area. On co-operatives, I also think there are opportunities for co-operatives in the future, as we look to where we go beyond leasehold. Because we've got the Law Commission review going on at the moment, which I wrote to Assembly Members about earlier on today, but actually I think that we could be looking at co-operative models for running blocks or even estates and so on in future. So, I think there is plenty of potential for co-operatives to come much more to the fore in terms of how we deliver housing and those associated services in Wales as well. On the empty properties, I did outline in my response to Bethan Jenkins some of the schemes that we have, but I think there is an issue as well, which I've asked officials to advise me on, in discussion with officials from Ken Skates's department, about compulsory purchases, because often it is the case, not only for housing but also in terms of high street regeneration, that owners either can't be found, in many cases, or that they're reluctant to let go of properties that are proving to be a blight on the high street or that aren't being used to a purpose for social good. So, I think that this is an area, again, that we can be making some inroads into, working across Government.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am y cwestiynau hynny. Rwy'n cydnabod bod y cynlluniau i gael gwared ar y tollau ar gyfer ail bont Hafren yn cael effaith ar y farchnad yng Nghasnewydd. Rwy'n cydnabod hynny ac mae'r Llywodraeth yn ymwybodol iawn o hynny. Dyna pam yr oeddwn i mor falch o gael mynd yr wythnos hon i lansiad gweledigaeth Melin Homes ar gyfer Casnewydd a rhannau o Sir Fynwy am y pum mlynedd nesaf. Maent yn bwriadu adeiladu 1,000 o gartrefi newydd, ond hefyd, wrth wneud hynny, maent yn ceisio cadw cymaint ag y gallant o'r gwerth o fewn y gymuned, a dyna pam y maen nhw'n canolbwyntio llawer ar y gwaith a wnânt o ran cyflogaeth a phrentisiaethau. Roeddwn yn falch iawn o gyfarfod â rhai o'u prentisiaid, a deallaf fod manteision a chyfleoedd iddyn nhw o ganlyniad i'r buddsoddiad y mae Cartrefi Melin yn ei wneud. Ac mae hwn yn gyfle imi longyfarch Melin Homes ar gyrraedd rhif 17 yn rhestr The Sunday Times o'r sefydliadau nid-er-elw gorau i weithio iddyn nhw. Yn sicr, drwy siarad â'r prentisiaid hynny y cefais i'r teimlad cryf eu bod nhw o'r farn bod rhywrai mewn gwirionedd yn buddsoddi ynddynt a'u bod yn gweithio mewn sefydliad sy'n eu gwerthfawrogi nhw fel rhan o'r diwylliant hwnnw. Ac mae'r sefydliad hefyd yn canolbwyntio'n gryf iawn ar annog y menywod sy'n gweithio yno, ac maent yn gobeithio hyrwyddo neu ddenu menywod i ymgymryd â llawer mwy o'u swyddi cynnal a chadw, gan felly symud y menywod a rhoi cyfleoedd iddyn nhw mewn meysydd sydd heb fod ar gael iddynt bob amser. Felly, mae hynny'n sicr yn gadarnhaol iawn, ac edrychaf ymlaen at weld y 1,000 o gartrefi hynny yn dod i ardal Casnewydd. O ran cwmnïau cydweithredol, credaf hefyd fod cyfleoedd i fentrau cydweithredol yn y dyfodol, wrth inni edrych ar ble i fynd y tu hwnt i lesddaliad. Oherwydd mae adolygiad Comisiwn y Gyfraith yn mynd yn ei flaen ar hyn o bryd, ac ysgrifennais at Aelodau'r Cynulliad am hyn yn gynharach heddiw. Ond mewn gwirionedd, credaf y gallem ni fod yn edrych ar fodelau cydweithredol ar gyfer cynnal blociau neu hyd yn oed ystadau ac ati yn y dyfodol. Felly, credaf fod digon o botensial i fentrau cydweithredol ddod yn fwy amlwg o ran sut rydym yn darparu tai a'r gwasanaethau cysylltiedig hynny yng Nghymru hefyd. O ran eiddo gwag, amlinellais yn fy ateb i Bethan Jenkins rai o'r cynlluniau sydd gennym. Ond credaf fod yna fater hefyd, yr wyf wedi gofyn am gyngor gan swyddogion arno, mewn trafodaeth â swyddogion o adran Ken Skates, ynghylch prynu gorfodol. Yn aml mae'n wir, nid yn unig ar gyfer tai ond hefyd o ran adfywio'r stryd fawr, nad oes modd dod o hyd i berchnogion, mewn llawer o achosion, neu maen nhw'n amharod i ollwng gafael ar eiddo sydd yn profi i fod yn bla ar y stryd fawr neu nad yw'n cael ei ddefnyddio at ddiben cymdeithasol da. Felly, credaf, eto, fod hwn yn faes y gallem ni fod yn mynd i'r afael ag ef, gan weithio ar draws y Llywodraeth.
