English: I'm grateful to you, Presiding Officer. Can I ask for two statements this afternoon, please? First of all on fisheries, and secondly on the shared prosperity fund. Minister, I don't think any of us could have failed to have been moved by the reports that we're seeing from the fishing industry at the moment. I don't like to use this language, but it's difficult to say that the fishing industry have been anything except betrayed by the UK Government, not only by the deal, which they reached on Christmas eve, where they capitulated in real terms, but also in the way they've been treated since then. The fishing industry is not a huge industry in Wales, but it is an important industry, and people depend on it for their livelihoods. Those people have been treated appallingly by the UK Government and it's difficult to overstate that. So, I think it would be important that we can have either a statement on support for the fishing industry, or a debate on how we can continue to support the fishing industry. I noticed over the weekend that Stephen Barclay, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, wrote to the Scottish finance Minister, your equivalent in the Scottish Government. I don't know if you had a copy of his letter, but he seemed to be setting out there some structures for the shared prosperity fund. What he seemed to be saying was what we'd assumed previously, I think, which is that the new funds would be controlled by Westminster, they would be controlled by Whitehall, they will be seeking deliberately, as a focus of policy, to avoid dealing with the democratically elected Governments in either Wales or Scotland. Now, I don't want to get into an argument over powers, as it happens, but I want to get into an argument over money and how it's spent, and the structures of how it's spent. The Minister may remember, just when she was elected, I was a European programmes Minister, and I published the lessons learnt from the first round of Objective 1 in that role. And it appears to me that the UK Government today are not learning those lessons, but repeating some of the worst mistakes. What I can see is a structure that is set up for political convenience, which is going to take money away from the poorest communities in Wales as a matter of policy, and wasted elsewhere as a matter of policy. I think we really need to address those issues very urgently.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i chi, Llywydd. A gaf i ofyn am ddau ddatganiad y prynhawn yma, os gwelwch chi'n dda? Yn gyntaf oll ar bysgodfeydd, ac yn ail ar y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin. Gweinidog, nid wyf i'n credu y gallai'r un ohonom fod wedi methu â chael ein cyffwrdd gan yr adroddiadau yr ydym ni'n eu gweld gan y diwydiant pysgota ar hyn o bryd. Nid wyf yn hoffi defnyddio'r iaith hon, ond mae'n anodd dweud bod y diwydiant pysgota wedi cael unrhyw beth heblaw eu bradychu gan Lywodraeth y DU, nid yn unig gan y cytundeb, y daethpwyd iddo ar noswyl y Nadolig, lle'r oedden nhw wedi ildio mewn gwirionedd, ond hefyd yn y ffordd y maen nhw wedi cael eu trin ers hynny. Nid yw'r diwydiant pysgota'n ddiwydiant enfawr yng Nghymru, ond mae'n ddiwydiant pwysig, ac mae pobl yn dibynnu arno am eu bywoliaeth. Mae'r bobl hynny wedi cael eu trin yn ofnadwy gan Lywodraeth y DU ac mae'n anodd gorbwysleisio hynny. Felly, rwy'n credu y byddai'n bwysig inni gael naill ai datganiad ar gefnogaeth i'r diwydiant pysgota, neu ddadl ar sut y gallwn ni barhau i gefnogi'r diwydiant pysgota. Sylwais i dros y penwythnos fod Stephen Barclay, Prif Ysgrifennydd y Trysorlys, wedi ysgrifennu at Weinidog Cyllid yr Alban, y Gweinidog sy'n cyfateb i chi yn Llywodraeth yr Alban. Nid wyf i'n gwybod a gawsoch chi gopi o'i lythyr, ond roedd yn ymddangos ei fod yn nodi rhai strwythurau ar gyfer y gronfa ffyniant gyffredin. Roedd yn ymddangos ei fod yn dweud yr hyn yr oeddem wedi'i dybio o'r blaen, rwy'n credu, sef y byddai'r cronfeydd newydd yn cael eu rheoli gan San Steffan, byddan nhw'n cael eu rheoli gan Whitehall, byddan nhw'n ceisio'n fwriadol, fel canolbwynt polisi, i osgoi ymwneud â'r Llywodraethau a gafodd eu hethol yn ddemocrataidd yng Nghymru neu'r Alban. Nawr, nid wyf i eisiau mynd i ddadl dros bwerau, fel mae'n digwydd, ond rwyf i eisiau mynd i ddadl dros arian a sut mae'n cael ei wario, a'r strwythurau ar gyfer ei wario. Efallai y bydd y Gweinidog yn cofio, pan gafodd ei hethol, fy mod i'n Weinidog rhaglenni Ewropeaidd, a chyhoeddais y gwersi a ddysgwyd o gylch cyntaf Amcan 1 yn y swydd honno. Ac mae'n ymddangos i mi nad yw Llywodraeth y DU heddiw'n dysgu'r gwersi hynny, ond yn ailadrodd rhai o'r camgymeriadau gwaethaf. Yr hyn a welaf i yw strwythur sydd wedi'i sefydlu er hwylustod gwleidyddol, sy'n mynd i dynnu arian oddi ar y cymunedau tlotaf yng Nghymru fel mater o bolisi, a'i wastraffu mewn mannau eraill fel mater o bolisi. Rwy'n credu bod gwir angen inni fynd i'r afael â'r materion hynny ar frys mawr.
