English: Thank you for raising this issue. Changes to permitted development rights, as you recognised in your question, certainly does require an evidence-based approach, which is why we published 'Planning for Mobile Telecommunications: An Assessment of Permitted Development Rights In Wales' in January of last year, to inform work on revising permitted development rights for telecommunications. Amendments to permitted development rights on telecommunications are expected to take effect towards the end of spring this year. However, it's important, I think, to recognise that taller masts do not provide a single solution to the issue of improving mobile service and coverage across Wales, because, of course, our topography and our population distribution does make complete mobile coverage very challenging, and I'm sure that we all recognise that on our travels around the country.
Welsh: Diolch am godi'r mater hwn. O ran newidiadau i'r hawliau datblygu a ganiateir, fel y cydnabuwyd gennych yn eich cwestiwn, yn sicr mae angen dull sy'n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth, a dyna pam y cyhoeddwyd 'Cynllunio ar gyfer Telathrebu Symudol: Asesiad o Hawliau Datblygu a Ganiateir yng Nghymru' ym mis Ionawr y llynedd, i lywio'r gwaith o adolygu'r hawliau datblygu a ganiateir ar gyfer telathrebu. Disgwylir i ddiwygiadau i'r hawliau sy'n ymwneud â thelathrebu ddod i rym tua diwedd y gwanwyn eleni. Fodd bynnag, mae'n bwysig cydnabod, yn fy marn i, nad yw mastiau talach yn darparu un ateb i'r broblem o wella gwasanaeth symudol gan ei wneud ar gael ledled Cymru, oherwydd, wrth gwrs, bod ein topograffeg a dosbarthiad y boblogaeth yn golygu bod defnyddio ffonau symudol ledled Cymru yn heriol iawn, ac rwyf yn siŵr ein bod ni i gyd yn cydnabod hynny wrth inni deithio o amgylch y wlad.
English: Trefnydd, or leader of the house, last week, I'm sure you were as appalled as I was about the reports in the media about children being refused school dinners simply because the dinner payment card hadn't been topped up in time. In fact, there was a report about one child who had acquired their school dinner, gone to the till to find out that there was no money available for that individual child to have a dinner, and that dinner was removed from that child. Now, that is the most appalling treatment of any child in school, and I'm sure it will live with that individual for some time, should that be the case. Now, I've raised this before - cashless payment systems - and I have to be fair, in that Powys County Council have now taken some action to alert parents when their money is diminished or running extremely low. But we cannot repeatedly hear stories like this. So, I would ask, leader of the house, whether you could have further discussion with the Minister for Education, who I know has worked on this, to do some further work and provide some further education to both parents and also school staff so that these situations do not keep repeating themselves.
Welsh: Trefnydd, neu arweinydd y tŷ, yr wythnos diwethaf, rwyf yn siŵr eich bod wedi eich arswydo gymaint ag yr oeddwn innau ynghylch adroddiadau yn y cyfryngau bod cinio ysgol yn cael ei wrthod i blant oherwydd nad oedd credyd wedi ei roi ar eu cardiau talu mewn pryd. Yn wir, roedd adroddiad am un plentyn a oedd wedi cael ei ginio ysgol, ac wedi mynd at y til i ganfod nad oedd arian ar gael fel y gallai'r plentyn penodol hwnnw gael cinio, a chymerwyd y cinio hwnnw oddi ar y plentyn. Nawr, dyna'r driniaeth fwyaf ofnadwy o unrhyw blentyn yn yr ysgol, ac rwyf yn siŵr y bydd yr unigolyn hwnnw yn cofio'r digwyddiad am gryn amser, os oedd hynny'n wir. Nawr, rwyf wedi codi hyn o'r blaen - systemau talu heb arian - ac mae'n rhaid imi fod yn deg, bod Cyngor Sir Powys bellach wedi cymryd rhai camau i rybuddio rhieni pan fo eu harian wedi lleihau neu'n rhedeg yn isel iawn. Ond ni allwn glywed straeon fel hyn dro ar ôl tro. Felly, rwyf yn gofyn, arweinydd y tŷ, a allwch gael trafodaeth bellach gyda'r Gweinidog Addysg yr wyf yn gwybod ei fod wedi gweithio ar hyn, i wneud rhagor o waith a darparu addysg bellach i rieni a staff yr ysgol fel nad yw'r sefyllfaoedd hyn yn parhau i ddigwydd.
English: Thank you for raising this important issue, and I have already had some discussions with the education Minister on this issue, and officials will investigate with the WLGA and the local association for catering in education just how widespread this issue is and consider whether we need to be providing additional advice and guidance to local authorities and schools on how to work with families, should these circumstances arise. I think there are two different circumstances that families might find themselves in. For example, they just forget to top up the money, because life is busy and people forget things, or there could be families who are really, really struggling and unable to pay. So, I think there is a role for schools to understand where this family is in terms of that situation and be able to signpost on to advice, or certainly offer up contact to somebody within the local authority should they know that a family is struggling, and there is support available for them. But you're point really about not holding children publicly accountable is an important one, because by stigmatising children in any way for unpaid school bills, well, that's completely unacceptable.
Welsh: Diolch am godi'r mater pwysig hwn. Rwyf eisoes wedi cael rhai trafodaethau gyda'r Gweinidog Addysg ar y mater hwn, a bydd swyddogion yn ymchwilio gyda'r Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru a'r gymdeithas leol dros arlwyo mewn addysg i weld pa mor eang yw'r mater hwn ac ystyried a oes angen inni ddarparu cyngor ac arweiniad ychwanegol i awdurdodau lleol ac ysgolion ar sut i weithio gyda theuluoedd, pe byddai'r amgylchiadau hyn yn codi. Rwy'n credu bod dau amgylchiad gwahanol y gallai teuluoedd ganfod eu hunain ynddynt. Er enghraifft, maen nhw'n anghofio rhoi credyd ar y cerdyn, oherwydd bod bywyd yn brysur ac mae pobl yn anghofio pethau, neu efallai bod teuluoedd mewn trafferthion gwirioneddol ac nad ydyn nhw'n gallu talu. Felly, rwyf yn credu bod gan ysgolion swyddogaeth o ran deall sefyllfa'r teulu hwnnw a gallu cyfeirio at gyngor, neu'n sicr cynnig cysylltu â rhywun yn yr awdurdod lleol pe byddan nhw'n gwybod bod teulu yn ei chael hi'n anodd, a bod cymorth ar gael iddyn nhw. Ond mae eich pwynt ynghylch peidio â dwyn plant i gyfrif yn un pwysig, oherwydd wrth warthnodi plant mewn unrhyw ffordd oherwydd biliau ysgol heb eu talu, wel, mae hynny'n gwbl annerbyniol.
English: Thank you very much for raising this issue, and we would certainly share that aspiration that, in the eightieth year of the British Polio Fellowship, we could see the endgame being in reach, as you described it. I know that you will do sterling work in terms of raising this issue amongst Assembly Members right across the Chamber, as you are doing this afternoon. With regard to the cluster of cases of a new virus that you've talked about, can I suggest that the health Minister has some discussion with Public Health Wales to explore the issue as to how it might be best addressed in Wales and then to write to you with the conclusions of that discussion?
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn am godi'r mater hwn, a byddem yn sicr yn rhannu'r dyhead hwnnw sydd gan Gymdeithas Polio Prydain o weld diwedd y daith yn cael ei chyrraedd fel yr oeddech chi'n ei disgrifio hi. Gwn y byddwch yn gwneud gwaith rhagorol o ran codi'r mater hwn ymhlith Aelodau'r Cynulliad ar draws y Siambr, fel yr ydych yn ei wneud y prynhawn yma. O ran y clwstwr o achosion o feirws newydd yr ydych wedi siarad amdano, a gaf i awgrymu bod y Gweinidog iechyd yn cael trafodaeth gydag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru i archwilio'r mater o ran y ffordd orau i fynd i'r afael â hyn yng Nghymru gan ysgrifennu atoch wedyn gyda chasgliadau'r drafodaeth honno?
English: May I ask the Trefnydd to discuss with the Minister for the economy whether it's possible to issue a further statement, preferably an oral statement, to this Assembly, following the announcement made that the Schaeffler plant in Llanelli is in fact going to close? I'm grateful to the Minister for his written statement yesterday, but we'd appreciate an oral statement, because I and, I'm sure, other Members, particularly those who represent that area, would like to be able to ask more about the specifics of the support that's going to be provided to the 220 workers and their families who are facing redundancies. I'm sure that the Welsh Government is very well aware that these are not the kinds of jobs that we can afford to lose from Llanelli, or indeed from anywhere in Wales. So, we'd appreciate the opportunity to ask more about the specifics of support and of what work the Welsh Government will be doing with the local authority and with others to try and find suitable replacement employment, both for individuals, but employment opportunities. I'd also appreciate the opportunity to ask the Minister what lessons may have been learnt from this process. Was there anything more that the Welsh Government could have done to work with this company, perhaps at an early stage, to persuade them to stay and to explore further what may need to be done in a post-Brexit environment to work with international companies to make sure that jobs of this quality are not lost?
Welsh: A gaf i ofyn i'r Trefnydd drafod gyda'r Gweinidog economi a yw'n bosib cyhoeddi datganiad pellach i'r Cynulliad hwn, mewn datganiad llafar os yw hynny'n bosib, yn dilyn y cyhoeddiad a wnaed bod ffatri Schaeffler yn Llanelli yn mynd i gau? Rwyf yn ddiolchgar i'r Gweinidog am ei ddatganiad ysgrifenedig ddoe. Ond byddem ni'n gwerthfawrogi datganiad llafar, oherwydd byddwn i, ac Aelodau eraill, rwyf yn siŵr, yn enwedig y rhai sy'n cynrychioli'r ardal honno, yn hoffi gallu gofyn mwy am fanylion y cymorth a fydd yn cael ei ddarparu i'r 220 o weithwyr a'u teuluoedd sy'n wynebu diswyddiadau. Rwyf yn siŵr bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymwybodol iawn nad y mathau o swyddi y gallwn ni fforddio i'w colli o Lanelli, neu'n wir, o unrhyw le yng Nghymru, yw'r rhain. Felly, byddwn yn gwerthfawrogi'r cyfle i holi mwy am fanylion y cymorth a'r gwaith y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud gyda'r awdurdod lleol a chydag eraill i geisio dod o hyd i gyflogaeth newydd addas, o ran cyfleoedd cyflogaeth, ac ar gyfer unigolion. Byddwn hefyd yn gwerthfawrogi'r cyfle i ofyn i'r Gweinidog pa wersi sydd wedi eu dysgu, efallai, o'r broses hon. A oedd unrhyw beth arall y gallai Llywodraeth Cymru fod wedi ei wneud drwy weithio gyda'r cwmni hwn, yn ystod cam cynnar efallai, i'w perswadio nhw i aros ac archwilio ymhellach i'r hyn y byddai angen ei wneud mewn amgylchedd ôl-Frexit i weithio gyda chwmnïau rhyngwladol i sicrhau nad yw swyddi o ansawdd yn cael eu colli?
English: Thank you very much, and obviously the news that the Schaeffler plant in Llanelli will now, it seems, definitely close is extremely upsetting for the workforce and their families and, indeed, the wider communities in the area, and our thoughts, of course, are very much with those who have been affected by what is a really big blow to the area and to individuals. As a Welsh Government, we are committed to doing all that we can to retain good-quality jobs in the area, so we, as you say, have specially convened a taskforce, which will continue to work closely with the local authority and with the other partners you describe to explore every possible avenue to secure the future manufacturing potential of the site and also to ensure that Schaeffler workers can readily access a competitive package of advice and skills and training support. I appreciate that you'd like some more detail on that, so I will have a conversation with the Minister with responsibility for the economy to find out what would be the best way to provide that.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, ac mae'n amlwg bod y newyddion y bydd ffatri Schaeffler yn Llanelli bellach yn cau'n bendant yn hynod annifyr i'r gweithlu a'u teuluoedd ac, yn wir, y cymunedau ehangach yn yr ardal, ac wrth gwrs, mae ein meddyliau yn sicr gyda'r rhai yr effeithiwyd arnyn nhw gan yr hyn sy'n ergyd mawr iawn i'r ardal ac i unigolion. Fel Llywodraeth Cymru, rydym wedi ymrwymo i wneud popeth y gallwn i gadw swyddi o ansawdd da yn yr ardal. Felly, fel yr ydych yn ei ddweud, rydym wedi cynnull tasglu, a fydd yn parhau i weithio'n agos gyda'r awdurdod lleol a chyda phartneriaid eraill yr ydych yn eu disgrifio i archwilio pob llwybr posibl er mwyn sicrhau potensial gweithgynhyrchu y safle yn y dyfodol ac er mwyn sicrhau hefyd bod gweithwyr Schaeffler yn cael gafael ar becyn cystadleuol o gyngor a sgiliau a chymorth hyfforddiant. Rwyf yn sylweddoli y byddech chi'n hoffi mwy o wybodaeth ar hynny, felly byddaf yn cael sgwrs gyda'r Gweinidog sy'n gyfrifol am yr economi i ddod o hyd i'r ffordd orau o ddarparu hynny.
English: Thank you very much. You'll be aware that the Minister has made that written statement to which you refer today. The report does make 24 recommendations, three of which fall to Welsh Government to implement on an all-Wales basis and the Minister has accepted all three of those recommendations for Welsh Government in their entirety. He also expects all health boards to take full account of the findings and the specific health board to take full account of the recommendations for it, ensuring that they are addressed and that those changes are embedded in the policies and procedures. He's also asked the National Independent Safeguarding Board to work with the NHS to further improve the mechanisms for sharing safeguarding learning, and work is well progressed with the safeguarding boards in Wales, supported by the Welsh Government, to deliver safeguarding procedures that do build on the existing statutory guidance. And he will be asking those safeguarding boards to take account of the findings of the reports as well. He expects all of the health boards at this stage to consider these findings. Clearly, this is a very difficult day for the women involved in the case and for their families, and our thoughts are with them, and I'm grateful to the Member for raising this. Of course, probably the earliest opportunity that she would have to raise it on the floor with the Minister would be through topical questions and the Minister would be happy to take one should it be agreed.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn. Byddwch yn ymwybodol bod y Gweinidog wedi gwneud y datganiad ysgrifenedig hwnnw yr ydych yn cyfeirio ato heddiw. Mae'r adroddiad yn gwneud 24 o argymhellion, tri ohonynt i Lywodraeth Cymru eu gweithredu ar sail Cymru gyfan, ac mae'r Gweinidog wedi derbyn pob un o'r tri argymhelliad hynny i Lywodraeth Cymru yn eu cyfanrwydd. Mae ef hefyd yn disgwyl i bob bwrdd iechyd roi ystyriaeth lawn i'r canfyddiadau ac i'r bwrdd iechyd penodol roi ystyriaeth lawn i'r argymhellion ar ei gyfer, gan sicrhau yr ymdrinnir â nhw a bod y newidiadau hynny yn cael eu hymgorffori yn y polisïau a'r gweithdrefnau. Mae ef hefyd wedi gofyn i'r Bwrdd Diogelu Annibynnol Cenedlaethol weithio gyda'r GIG i wella ymhellach y dulliau o rannu'r hyn a gaiff ei ddysgu am ddiogelu. Mae'r gwaith wedi symud ymlaen yn dda gyda'r byrddau diogelu yng Nghymru, a gefnogir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, i ddarparu gweithdrefnau diogelu sy'n ategu'r canllawiau statudol presennol. A bydd yn gofyn i'r byrddau diogelu hynny ystyried canfyddiadau'r adroddiadau hefyd. Mae'n disgwyl i'r holl fyrddau iechyd ar y cam hwn i ystyried y canfyddiadau hyn. Yn amlwg, mae hwn yn ddiwrnod anodd iawn i'r menywod sy'n rhan o'r achos ac i'w teuluoedd, ac mae ein meddyliau gyda nhw, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Aelod am godi hyn. Wrth gwrs, mae'n debyg mai'r cyfle cyntaf y byddai ganddi i'w godi ar y llawr gyda'r Gweinidog fyddai drwy gwestiynau amserol a byddai'r Gweinidog yn barod i dderbyn un pe byddai'n cael ei gytuno.
English: And I will decide if it is agreed.
Welsh: A byddaf i yn penderfynu os caiff ei gytuno.
English: Thank you for raising these issues. On the last issue you raised regarding the designation of SSSIs and other special areas, I'll certainly ask the Minister to write to you with the clarity that you're asking for in terms of the explanation on the policy and the approach to designated areas. FootnoteLink Again, on the issue of bus services, I had a conversation with the Minister for transport to explore when he might seek to bring forward a statement that would answer the questions that you've raised and also point you to some of the answers that, I think, the First Minister gave during First Minister's questions today, which did address some of those issues about urban traffic management. But if you wanted to write to the transport Minister directly with the specific area where you have concerns, I'm sure that he'd be keen to explore them further.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am godi'r materion hyn. Ar y pwynt olaf ynglŷn â dynodiad SoDdGA ac ardaloedd arbennig eraill, byddaf yn sicr o ofyn i'r Gweinidog ysgrifennu atoch chi gyda'r eglurder yr ydych yn ei geisio o ran esbonio'r polisi a'r dull o ymdrin â'r ardaloedd dynodedig. FootnoteLink Unwaith eto, ar fater gwasanaethau bws, cefais sgwrs gyda'r Gweinidog dros drafnidiaeth i drafod pryd y byddai modd iddo geisio cyflwyno datganiad a fyddai'n ateb y cwestiynau a godwyd gennych chi. Tynnaf eich sylw hefyd at rai o'r atebion, rwy'n credu, a roddodd y Prif Weinidog yn ystod cwestiynau i'r Prif Weinidog heddiw, a oedd yn ymdrin â rhai o'r materion hynny ynghylch rheoli traffig trefol. Ond pe byddech yn dymuno ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog trafnidiaeth yn uniongyrchol ynglŷn â'r maes penodol y mae gennych bryderon yn ei gylch, rwy'n siŵr y byddai 'n awyddus i ymchwilio ymhellach i hynny.
English: The next item is a statement by the Minister for Education: curriculum and assessment reform, a White Paper on proposals for legislative change. I call on the Minister for Education, Kirsty Williams.
Welsh: Yr eitem nesaf yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Addysg ar ddiwygio'r cwricwlwm a'r trefniadau asesu ac ar y Papur Gwyn ar gynigion ar gyfer newid deddfwriaethol. A dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog dros Addysg, Kirsty Williams, i gyflwyno'r datganiad. Kirsty Williams.
English: Can I thank you, Minister? You're quite right, this is going to be a sea change for Wales, but there's always a risk with a sea change that people might end up drowning. And while, of course, you have the full general principle policy support of everybody in this Chamber, I hope, the big test of all this is going to be what is deliverable practically, and will it deliver the results that we want to see. We're actually talking about a piece of legislation here, so I'm going to mention that very much in this context. I was pleased to see that the overarching principles - and have been for a while - are clearer than what we have in existing legislation at the moment. You want to move away from a prescriptive system. I believe you when you say that, and we as Welsh Conservatives of course have always said that we want teachers to be free to teach and that we shouldn't have over-prescription here, but, of course, that comes then with a greater responsibility on visible accountability. The quality of teachers and teaching, which I think is probably the greatest factor - I probably won't talk too much about that today, though - and an improvement of standards in attainment, in achievement, that young people themselves believe to be valuable, as well as what Wales as a society believes will be valuable for us as a nation, and particularly for our economy.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i chi, Gweinidog? Rydych chi'n hollol iawn, bydd hwn yn newid enfawr i Gymru, ond gyda phob newid enfawr ceir perygl y bydd rhai yn colli'r trywydd. A thra bod gennych chi, wrth gwrs, gefnogaeth lawn gan bawb yn y Siambr hon o ran egwyddor gyffredinol y polisi, rwy'n gobeithio, y maen prawf hyn ar gyfer hyn fydd yr hyn a gaiff ei gyflawni'n ymarferol, ac a fydd yn sicrhau'r canlyniadau yr ydym yn dymuno eu gweld. Sôn yr ydym, mewn gwirionedd, yn y fan hon am ddarn o ddeddfwriaeth, ac felly rwy'n mynd i grybwyll hynny i raddau helaeth iawn yn y cyd-destun hwnnw. Roeddwn yn falch o weld bod yr egwyddorion cyffredinol - ac maen nhw wedi bod ers amser - yn fwy eglur na'r hyn sydd gennym yn y ddeddfwriaeth sydd yn bodoli ar hyn o bryd. Rydych chi eisiau symud i ffwrdd oddi wrth system sy'n rhoi cyfarwyddiadau. Rwy'n eich credu pan ddywedwch chi hynny, ac rydym ni, Geidwadwyr Cymreig, wedi dweud bob amser wrth gwrs ein bod yn awyddus i athrawon fod yn rhydd i ddysgu ac na ddylem gael gormod o gyfarwyddyd yn y cyswllt hwn. Ond, wrth gwrs, mae hynny wedyn yn rhoi mwy o gyfrifoldeb ar atebolrwydd gweladwy. Ansawdd yr athrawon a'r addysgu, a chredaf mai honno fwy na thebyg yw'r ffactor fwyaf - ond ni fyddaf yn siarad gormod am hynny heddiw - a gwelliant mewn safonau o ran cyrhaeddiad, o ran cyflawniad, y bydd y bobl ifanc eu hunain yn credu sy'n werthfawr, yn ogystal â'r hyn y bydd Cymru fel cymdeithas yn ei gredu fydd yn werthfawr i ni fel cenedl, yn enwedig i'n heconomi.
English: I would like to pursue three important aspects today: workforce training, assessment arrangements, and the impact of these changes on qualifications. These don't directly relate to the White Paper, of course, but they are part of the bigger picture in terms of the huge change that's occurring. And the new curriculum will mean a transformational change to teaching methods, so what are the Government's proposals for re-educating the workforce? I'm using the word 're-educating' or 'retraining' in order to convey the level of the task and the change, and I think that does so more effectively than the term 'professional development'.
Welsh: Buaswn i'n licio mynd ar drywydd tair agwedd bwysig heddiw yma: hyfforddi'r gweithlu, trefniadau asesu, ac effaith y newidiadau ar gymwysterau. Dydy'r rhain ddim yn uniongyrchol yn ymwneud â'r Papur Gwyn, wrth gwrs, ond yn rhan o'r darlun mawr o'r newid anferth sydd i ddigwydd. Mi fydd y cwricwlwm newydd yn golygu newid chwyldroadol i ddulliau dysgu, felly beth ydy cynlluniau'r Llywodraeth ar gyfer ailhyfforddi'r gweithlu? Dwi yn defnyddio'r gair 'ailhyfforddi' yn hollol fwriadol er mwyn cyfleu lefel y dasg a'r newid yn fwy effeithiol na'r term 'datblygiad proffesiynol'.
English: Allow the Minister to respond to some of the questions then. I think that you have asked plenty of questions there.
Welsh: Gadewch i'r Gweinidog felly ateb rhai o'r cwestiynau. Dwi'n meddwl bod yna ddigon yn y cyflwyniad yna.
English: There are a number of questions that need to be asked, certainly.
Welsh: Mae yna lot o gwestiynau angen eu holi yn sicr.
English: Thank you. I have two more speakers and, as you can see, we are going over, but I will call those two speakers, but I would ask them to be brief and just to cover additional points that may not have already been raised. Dawn Bowden.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae gennyf ddau siaradwr arall ac, fel y gallwch chi weld, rydym ni wedi mynd dros amser. Ond fe wnaf i alw'r ddau siaradwr hynny, ond byddwn yn gofyn iddyn nhw fod yn gryno a dim ond i godi pwyntiau ychwanegol nad ydyn nhw wedi'u codi eisoes. Dawn Bowden.
