English: Can I, first, fully endorse and commend the First Minister's letter to the UK Government in support of the Swansea bay development and reiterate UKIP's total support for any interventions that might bring that development about? Cabinet Secretary, we do not have to look far outside the confines of this Chamber to experience the chronic inadequacies of the road infrastructure in Wales. Some few hundred yards away, we have a brand-new bridge, but, in reality, it is a bridge to nowhere. Rover Way is nothing less than a three-mile bottleneck that leads to the 10-mile bottleneck we call the A48 (M). Nothing can be more indicative of the problems of accessing the city of Cardiff than my own journey to and from work. In order to be sure to arrive in time for a 9 a.m. committee meeting, I have to leave Griffithstown in Pontypool at 6.30 a.m Leaving it any later, I would encounter an almost solid line of traffic right up to the gates of this business. Obviously, I know that the Welsh Government won't lose any sleep over the fact that I have to rise at 5:15 in the morning in order to get to work, but, surely, this state of affairs is wholly unacceptable for those others who have to commute to work, particularly those accessing the capital city. There are those in this Chamber who have to experience the horrors of the A470 and there are also considerable problems, as has been outlined earlier, for those approaching from the west. Just to end this personal illustrative journey, there is no point in my attempting to leave this building to go home until at least 7 p.m., or I encounter the same traffic conditions as I outlined earlier. Here, I have concentrated on access to the city of Cardiff, but this, of course, is a scenario repeated in both our other cities, and elsewhere throughout Wales. Cabinet Secretary, I have to ask: when will we see the upgrades to our road infrastructure that we so desperately need and is, indeed, envisaged in the south Wales metro project? I've outlined problems for commuters above, which, of course, is a major cause for concern, but, as has been mentioned earlier by many of those who contributed to this debate, Cabinet Secretary, the cost to the Welsh economy is huge. If we are to have a dynamic, entrepreneurial business base in Wales, it is essential that we have the infrastructure to sustain it. Roads are an important, if not the most important, part of that infrastructure. And please note, Cabinet Secretary, I have not once mentioned the Malpas tunnels.
Welsh: A gaf fi, yn gyntaf, ategu a chymeradwyo llythyr y Prif Weinidog at Lywodraeth y DU yn cefnogi datblygiad bae Abertawe ac ailadrodd cefnogaeth lwyr UKIP i unrhyw ymyriadau a allai esgor ar y datblygiad hwnnw? Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, nid oes raid inni edrych ymhell y tu allan i'r Siambr hon i brofi annigonolrwydd cronig y seilwaith ffyrdd yng Nghymru. Rai cannoedd o lathenni i ffwrdd, mae gennym bont newydd sbon, ond mewn gwirionedd, mae'n bont nad yw'n mynd i unman. Nid yw Rover Way yn ddim llai na thagfa dair milltir o hyd sy'n arwain at y dagfa 10 milltir o hyd a alwn yn A48 (M). Ni all dim ddynodi'r drafferth i fynd i mewn i ddinas Caerdydd yn well na fy nhaith fy hun i'r gwaith ac oddi yno. Er mwyn sicrhau fy mod yn cyrraedd mewn pryd ar gyfer cyfarfod pwyllgor am 9 y bore, rhaid i mi adael Griffithstown ym Mhont-y-pŵl am 6.30 y bore. O'i gadael yn ddiweddarach, buaswn yn dod at linell bron yn solet o draffig hyd at gatiau'r lle hwn. Yn amlwg, gwn na fydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn colli cwsg dros y ffaith fy mod yn gorfod codi am 5:15 y bore er mwyn cyrraedd y gwaith, ond yn sicr, mae'r sefyllfa hon yn gwbl annerbyniol i'r rhai eraill sy'n gorfod cymudo i'r gwaith, yn enwedig y rheini sy'n mynd i mewn i'r brifddinas. Mae rhai yn y Siambr hon yn gorfod dioddef erchyllterau'r A470 ac mae problemau sylweddol hefyd, fel yr amlinellwyd yn gynharach, i'r rhai sy'n dod yma o'r gorllewin. I orffen y daith bersonol ddarluniadol hon, nid oes unrhyw bwynt i mi ymdrechu i adael yr adeilad hwn i fynd adref tan o leiaf 7 o'r gloch yr hwyr, neu rwy'n wynebu'r un amodau traffig â'r rhai a amlinellais yn gynharach. Yma, rwyf wedi canolbwyntio ar fynd i mewn i ddinas Caerdydd, ond wrth gwrs, mae hon yn sefyllfa sy'n cael ei hailadrodd yn ein dwy ddinas arall, ac mewn mannau eraill ledled Cymru. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, rhaid i mi ofyn: pa bryd y gwelwn yr uwchraddio sydd ei angen mor daer ar ein seilwaith ffyrdd ac a ragwelwyd, yn wir, ym mhrosiect metro de Cymru? Rwyf wedi amlinellu'r problemau i gymudwyr uchod, ac wrth gwrs, mae'n destun pryder mawr, ond fel y soniwyd yn gynharach gan lawer o'r rhai a gyfrannodd at y ddadl hon, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae'r gost i economi Cymru yn enfawr. Os ydym i gael sylfaen fusnes ddeinamig, entrepreneuraidd yng Nghymru, mae'n hanfodol fod gennym seilwaith i'w chynnal. Mae ffyrdd yn rhan bwysig, os nad y rhan bwysicaf, o'r seilwaith hwnnw. A sylwch, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, nad wyf wedi crybwyll twnelau Malpas unwaith.
