English: Well, the Member makes a very important point about home energy. Since 2009-10 to the end of March 2021, more than £394 million has been invested to improve home energy efficiency through the Warm Homes programme, and that's benefited more than 67,100 lower income households, and also, importantly, energy efficiency advice, through the Warm Homes programme - 160,000 people also receiving that. And we, of course, now have our Warm Homes programme consultation programme moving forward. What is crucial is that we invest in tackling both fuel poverty and food poverty, and we have actually - . Although we welcome many of the announcements made by the UK Government, these are very short term, and what we have done, in terms of a £380 million investment into tackling the cost-of-living crisis and fuel and food poverty, is still ask the UK Government to reduce household fuel bills by removing all social and environmental policy costs from household energy bills, and for these costs to be met from general taxation. In fact, I met with energy providers only two weeks ago, and many of them were calling for that, as well as introducing a lower price cap for low-income households to ensure they can meet the costs of their energy needs, now and in the future. But another key point, which I hope the Member would join me in calling for, is an increase in local housing allowance rates and increased funding for discretionary housing payments, because this is also another impact of the cost-of-living crisis, in terms of debt and the difficulty and the potential for more people to become homeless as a result of rent arrears.
Welsh: Wel, mae'r Aelod yn gwneud pwynt pwysig iawn am ynni cartref. Ers 2009-2010 hyd at ddiwedd mis Mawrth 2021, mae dros £394 miliwn wedi'i fuddsoddi i wella effeithlonrwydd ynni cartref drwy raglen Cartrefi Clyd, ac mae hynny wedi bod o fudd i fwy na 67,100 o aelwydydd incwm is, a hefyd, yn bwysig, cyngor ar effeithlonrwydd ynni, drwy raglen Cartrefi Clyd - mae 160,000 o bobl yn cael y cyngor hwnnw hefyd. Ac mae gennym bellach, wrth gwrs, ein rhaglen ymgynghori Cartrefi Clyd ar waith. Yr hyn sy'n hollbwysig yw ein bod yn buddsoddi mewn trechu tlodi tanwydd a thlodi bwyd, ac mewn gwirionedd, rydym wedi - . Er ein bod yn croesawu llawer o'r cyhoeddiadau a wnaed gan Lywodraeth y DU, maent yn gyhoeddiadau tymor byr, a'r hyn rydym wedi'i wneud, o ran buddsoddiad o £380 miliwn i fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng costau byw a thlodi tanwydd a thlodi bwyd, yw parhau i ofyn i Lywodraeth y DU leihau biliau tanwydd cartrefi drwy gael gwared ar yr holl gostau polisi cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol sydd ynghlwm wrth filiau ynni cartrefi a thalu am y costau hyn drwy drethiant cyffredinol. Mewn gwirionedd, cyfarfûm â darparwyr ynni bythefnos yn ôl, ac roedd llawer ohonynt yn galw am hynny, yn ogystal â chyflwyno cap is ar brisiau ar gyfer aelwydydd incwm isel er mwyn sicrhau y gallant dalu costau eu hanghenion ynni, yn awr ac yn y dyfodol. Ond pwynt allweddol arall, y gobeithiaf y byddai'r Aelod yn ymuno â mi i alw amdano, yw cynnydd yng nghyfraddau'r lwfans tai lleol a rhagor o gyllid ar gyfer taliadau disgresiwn at gostau tai, gan fod hyn hefyd yn un o effeithiau eraill yr argyfwng costau byw, o ran dyled a'r anhawster a'r perygl y bydd mwy o bobl yn ddigartref o ganlyniad i ôl-ddyledion rhent.
