English: Swansea University, along with the universities of Warwick and Sheffield, are collaborating on this new SUSTAIN project, which will use £35 million of investment to reduce emissions from the steelmaking process and increase productivity and jobs, which I think is a very welcome collaboration, something that can reduce pollution for Tata Steel, which I hope will also, when they're building their new power station, if that comes into being, be very conscious of reducing pollution with that power station as well. If the SUSTAIN project does make the progress that's expected, what direct support do you think Welsh Government could consider giving it, particularly once or if the state-aid rules change after we leave the European Union?
Welsh: Mae Prifysgol Abertawe, ynghyd â phrifysgolion Warwick a Sheffield, yn cydweithio ar y prosiect newydd SUSTAIN hwn, a fydd yn defnyddio £35 miliwn o fuddsoddiad i leihau allyriadau o'r broses gynhyrchu dur ac yn cynyddu cynhyrchiant a swyddi, a chredaf y dylid croesawu'r cydweithrediad hwnnw'n fawr, rhywbeth a all leihau llygredd ar gyfer Tata Steel, a gobeithiaf y byddant hefyd, pan fyddant yn adeiladu eu gorsaf bŵer newydd, os bydd hynny'n digwydd, yn ymwybodol iawn o leihau llygredd gyda'r orsaf bŵer honno hefyd. Os yw prosiect SUSTAIN yn gwneud y cynnydd a ddisgwylir, pa gymorth uniongyrchol y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ystyried ei roi iddo yn eich barn chi, yn enwedig ar ôl neu os newidir y rheolau cymorth gwladwriaethol wedi inni adael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd?
English: I'm unsure of what support we would be able to give, but I'd be very happy to look into that and write to the Member.
Welsh: Nid wyf yn siŵr pa gymorth y gallem ei roi, ond buaswn yn fwy na pharod i ystyried hynny ac i ysgrifennu at yr Aelod.
English: Now, increasing the use of electric vehicles, both private and public, is a clear way to reduce air pollution levels - pun intended - such as in Port Talbot, but the Welsh Local Government Association has been critical of progress, or rather lack of progress, on this agenda, stating that there's a lack of national direction and there has not been a concerted effort by Welsh Government to work with local authorities on this agenda. Do you accept that there's been a lack of progress on this and that, until you provide that national direction, Port Talbot and other areas of Wales will continue to suffer air quality issues?
Welsh: Nawr, mae cynyddu'r defnydd o gerbydau trydan, yn breifat ac yn gyhoeddus, yn ffordd amlwg o leihau lefelau llygredd aer mewn ardaloedd fel Port Talbot, ond mae Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru wedi bod yn feirniadol o'r cynnydd, neu'r diffyg cynnydd, yn hytrach, ar yr agenda hon, gan ddweud bod diffyg cyfeiriad cenedlaethol ac na chafwyd ymdrech gydunol gan Lywodraeth Cymru i weithio gydag awdurdodau lleol ar yr agenda hon. A ydych yn derbyn bod diffyg cynnydd wedi bod ar hyn, a hyd nes eich bod yn darparu'r cyfarwyddyd cenedlaethol hwnnw, bydd Port Talbot ac ardaloedd eraill yng Nghymru yn parhau i ddioddef yn sgil problemau ansawdd aer?
English: Well, I think we certainly have shown leadership in relation to electric vehicles. I know we gave - I think it was about £2 million we gave in funding, I thought to all local authorities, but my colleague Ken Skates does lead on this. But, from my memory, I think it was about £2 million that we gave to local authorities to kick start, if you like, some progress in relation to this area. But, of course, we do need to do more and, clearly, we need - . I've certainly had discussions with the National Grid, for instance, to make sure that such a route of electric vehicle charging points would be able to be sustained by the current capacity that we have within the grid.
Welsh: Wel, credaf ein bod yn sicr wedi dangos arweiniad mewn perthynas â cherbydau trydan. Gwn inni roi - credaf inni roi oddeutu £2 filiwn o gyllid i'r holl awdurdodau lleol, rwy'n credu, ond fy nghyd-Aelod Ken Skates sy'n arwain ar hyn. Ond yn ôl yr hyn a gofiaf, credaf ein bod wedi rhoi oddeutu £2 filiwn i awdurdodau lleol er mwyn sbarduno, os mynnwch, rhywfaint o gynnydd yn y maes hwn. Ond wrth gwrs, mae angen inni wneud mwy, ac yn amlwg, mae angen inni - . Yn sicr, rwyf wedi cael trafodaethau gyda'r Grid Cenedlaethol, er enghraifft, i sicrhau y byddai llwybr o'r fath o fannau gwefru cerbydau trydan yn gallu cael ei gynnal gan y capasiti presennol sydd gennym o fewn y grid.
English: Minister, it's not just air pollution that we have to worry about in Port Talbot and my wider region. Other pollutants are also having an impact. A recent review in the journal of Biological Conservation highlighted the impact pesticides were having on invertebrate species. As the species champion for the fen raft spider, whose habitat is in the shadow of the steelworks, one of only three in the UK, I am concerned about the impact pesticides will have, threatening this native species with extinction. Minister, what action will your Government take to protect the fen raft spider and other insects from pesticides and other pollutants?
Welsh: Weinidog, nid llygredd aer yw'r unig beth sydd gennym i boeni amdano ym Mhort Talbot a fy rhanbarth ehangach. Mae llygryddion eraill hefyd yn cael effaith. Amlygodd adolygiad diweddar yng nghyfnodolyn Biological Conservation yr effaith roedd plaladdwyr yn ei chael ar rywogaethau infertebratau. Fel hyrwyddwr rhywogaethau ar ran corryn rafft y ffen sydd â'i gynefin yng nghysgod y gwaith dur, un o dri yn unig yn y DU, rwy'n bryderus ynghylch effaith plaladdwyr, a fydd yn bygwth diddymu'r rhywogaeth frodorol hon. Weinidog, pa gamau y bydd eich Llywodraeth yn eu cymryd i amddiffyn corryn rafft y ffen a phryfed eraill rhag plaladdwyr a llygryddion eraill?
English: It's very important that we protect all insects, as you say, and, certainly, we have guidelines for pesticide use, and I know farmers are very careful in what pesticides they use, and we work very closely with them to ensure they have up-to-date information on pesticides that can be used.
Welsh: Mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod yn diogelu pob math o bryfed, fel y dywedwch, ac yn sicr, mae gennym ganllawiau ar gyfer defnyddio plaladdwyr, a gwn fod ffermwyr yn ofalus iawn o ran y plaladdwyr y maent yn eu defnyddio, ac rydym yn gweithio'n agos iawn gyda hwy i sicrhau eu bod yn cael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf ynglŷn â'r plaladdwyr y gellir eu defnyddio.
English: Thank you. I issued a written statement on 31 January summarising the outcome of a series of workshops held with stakeholders to discuss mobile animal exhibits last year. My officials have been in correspondence with DEFRA to discuss cross-border issues regarding the English licensing of animal activities legislation.
Welsh: Diolch. Cyhoeddais ddatganiad ysgrifenedig ar 31 Ionawr yn crynhoi canlyniadau cyfres o weithdai a gynhaliwyd â rhanddeiliaid i drafod arddangosfeydd teithiol o anifeiliaid y llynedd. Mae fy swyddogion wedi bod yn gohebu ag Adran yr Amgylchedd, Bwyd a Materion Gwledig i drafod materion trawsffiniol ynghylch deddfwriaeth trwyddedu gweithgarwch anifeiliaid yn Lloegr.
English: Thank you for your answer, Minister, and thank you for your letter that you sent to me recently on an issue raised by my constituent who at the moment faces needing to pay not only for her own Welsh licence, which she's perfectly happy to do, but also an additional £800 if she's going to be able to take her business into England, which she does on a regular basis. Now, she - and many other people who work in this field - is a sole trader, with very low turnover, and, if she has to meet this additional £800 on an ongoing basis, her business will cease to be viable. I'm pleased to hear you say that you are having discussions with Michael Gove about this issue, because it's a small issue in the great big post-Brexit picture, but to my constituent, and to others who work in that field, it's a very serious one. What assurances can you give us? It is too late now to resolve this by the 1 April deadline, I imagine, for this year, but what assurances can you give my constituent that, by next year, we will have some sort of cross-border arrangements in place, and that she will not have to pay twice to licence her business?
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog, a diolch am y llythyr a anfonoch chi ataf yn ddiweddar ar fater a godwyd gan fy etholwr sy'n wynebu gorfod talu nid yn unig am ei thrwydded Gymreig ei hun, rhywbeth y mae'n fwy na pharod i'w wneud, ond hefyd £800 yn ychwanegol er mwyn gallu mynd â'i busnes i Loegr, sy'n rhywbeth y mae'n ei wneud yn rheolaidd. Nawr, mae hi - a llawer o bobl eraill sy'n gweithio yn y maes hwn - yn unig fasnachwr â throsiant isel iawn, ac os bydd yn rhaid iddi dalu'r swm ychwanegol hwn o £800 ar sail barhaus, ni fydd ei busnes yn hyfyw mwyach. Rwy'n falch o'ch clywed yn dweud eich bod yn cynnal trafodaethau gyda Michael Gove ynglŷn â'r mater hwn, gan ei fod yn fater bach yn y darlun mawr ôl-Brexit, ond i fy etholwr, ac i eraill sy'n gweithio yn y maes hwnnw, mae'n fater difrifol iawn. Pa sicrwydd y gallwch ei roi inni? Tybiaf ei bod yn rhy hwyr bellach i ddatrys hyn erbyn y dyddiad cau ar gyfer eleni, 1 Ebrill, ond pa sicrwydd y gallwch ei roi i fy etholwr y bydd gennym rai trefniadau trawsffiniol o ryw fath ar waith erbyn y flwyddyn nesaf, ac na fydd yn rhaid iddi dalu ddwywaith i drwyddedu ei busnes?
English: Well, officials are still - . I'm aware of the correspondence that we exchanged, and my officials are certainly continuing to have those discussions with counterparts - not actually just the UK Government, but, obviously, Scotland, because, obviously, these businesses, as you say, are transient in nature. So, I can't give you a date as to when those discussions will come to a conclusion, but I do hope that it won't take a year to do so. But, you're quite right, I don't think we'll have it in place by 1 April this year.
Welsh: Wel, mae swyddogion yn dal i - . Rwy'n ymwybodol o'r ohebiaeth a fu rhyngom, ac yn sicr, mae fy swyddogion yn parhau i gael y trafodaethau hynny â'u swyddogion cyfatebol - nid yn Llywodraeth y DU yn unig, ond yn yr Alban hefyd wrth gwrs, oherwydd mae'r busnesau hyn, fel y dywedwch, yn symudol o ran eu natur. Felly, ni allaf roi dyddiad ichi ynglŷn â phryd y daw'r trafodaethau hynny i ben, ond gobeithiaf na fydd yn cymryd blwyddyn i wneud hynny. Ond rydych yn llygad eich lle, ni chredaf y bydd ar waith gennym erbyn 1 Ebrill eleni.
English: Minister, I think this area of public policy deserves a lot of attention and needs to be speeded up. Your first written answer, I think, or written statement, was in December 2016, so, it's well over two years ago that that was made. The public are demanding some action here, because it's not just circus animals. We've all been to agricultural shows and seen the birds of prey there, and, at Christmas, you often see reindeer out on the streets in some mobile displays. And I think we need clarity, and, those that are using animals, if they can do it humanely, and without those animals suffering any loss of dignity, then it may be appropriate. But we do need to come to a conclusion on this and state what our policy aims are for regulation.
Welsh: Weinidog, credaf fod y maes hwn o bolisi cyhoeddus yn haeddu llawer o sylw a bod angen ei gyflymu. Cafwyd eich ateb ysgrifenedig cyntaf, neu ddatganiad ysgrifenedig, ym mis Rhagfyr 2016, felly, mae hynny ymhell dros ddwy flynedd yn ôl. Mae'r cyhoedd yn mynnu gweld gweithredu yn hyn o beth, gan nad yw hyn yn ymwneud yn unig ag anifeiliaid syrcas. Mae pob un ohonom wedi bod mewn sioeau amaethyddol ac wedi gweld yr adar ysglyfaethus yno, ac adeg y Nadolig, rydych yn aml yn gweld ceirw ar y strydoedd mewn arddangosfeydd teithiol. A chredaf fod angen eglurder, ac o ran y rheini sy'n defnyddio anifeiliaid, os gallant wneud hynny heb greulondeb a heb fod yr anifeiliaid hynny'n colli unrhyw fath o urddas, yna gall fod yn addas. Ond mae'n rhaid inni ddod i gasgliad ynglŷn â hyn a datgan beth yw ein nodau polisi ar gyfer rheoleiddio.
English: I think you're right about public interest. I think, in some ways, there's more public interest in mobile animal exhibits than in circuses, because we don't have any circuses registered in Wales. And, as you say, we've all been to agricultural shows. Schools, for instance, often have birds of prey, and so I do think it is something of public interest, and, certainly, when we had the consultation, there was a high number of responses in relation to this aspect. The licensing scheme is being developed. You'll be aware that we've engaged with any stakeholders, also with enforcement agents. We are going to have a full public consultation, because I think that is required and that will be done, hopefully, within the next few months. But you will appreciate, again, Brexit has to take priority - particularly a 'no deal' Brexit - but I do hope that the consultation, certainly, will come out by the end of the summer.
Welsh: Credaf eich bod yn llygad eich lle ynghylch budd y cyhoedd. Mewn rhai ffyrdd, credaf fod mwy o ddiddordeb cyhoeddus mewn arddangosfeydd teithiol o anifeiliaid nag mewn syrcasau, gan nad oes gennym unrhyw syrcasau wedi'u cofrestru yng Nghymru. Ac fel y dywedwch, mae pob un ohonom wedi bod mewn sioeau amaethyddol. Mae adar ysglyfaethus yn aml yn mynd i ysgolion, er enghraifft, ac felly credaf fod hyn o ddiddordeb i'r cyhoedd, ac yn sicr, pan gawsom yr ymgynghoriad, roedd nifer fawr o'r ymatebion yn ymwneud â'r agwedd hon. Mae'r cynllun trwyddedu yn cael ei ddatblygu. Fe fyddwch yn gwybod ein bod wedi ymgysylltu â'r rhanddeiliaid, yn ogystal ag asiantau gorfodi. Byddwn yn cynnal ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus llawn, gan y credaf fod angen gwneud hynny a bydd hynny'n digwydd, gobeithio, o fewn yr ychydig fisoedd nesaf. Ond fe fyddwch yn deall, unwaith eto, fod yn rhaid rhoi'r flaenoriaeth i Brexit - yn enwedig Brexit 'dim bargen' - ond gobeithiaf y bydd yr ymgynghoriad, yn sicr, yn cael ei gyhoeddi erbyn diwedd yr haf.
English: The Welsh Government prioritises flood and coastal risk management funding on the protection of homes and communities. Whilst it also supports schemes that provide wider benefits, including protection of infrastructure, the owners of those assets are ultimately responsible for ensuring they remain resilient and fit for purpose.
Welsh: Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi blaenoriaeth i gyllid ar gyfer rheoli llifogydd ac erydu arfordirol er mwyn amddiffyn cartrefi a chymunedau. Er ei bod hefyd yn cefnogi cynlluniau sy'n cynnig manteision ehangach, gan gynnwys diogelu seilwaith, yn y pen draw, perchnogion yr asedau hynny sy'n gyfrifol am sicrhau eu bod yn parhau i fod yn gadarn ac yn addas i'r diben.
English: Thank you for that answer, Minister, and can I put on record my thanks to the Welsh Government for the investment that it's made in flood defences in my constituency? But you will be aware that there is one particularly fragile part of the sea defences in the area of Old Colwyn, which protects the main sewerage network, the A55 trunk road, the Colwyn Bay promenade and, indeed, the north Wales railway line. We saw some dramatic storms earlier this month, which have further undermined those defences, and it's now becoming critical that they are upgraded and improved in order to protect that vital infrastructure that I just mentioned. Now, your predecessor in terms of holding the portfolio for flood defences was kind enough to visit the constituency to learn more about the concerns of Conwy County Borough Council in relation to the fragility of those defences, and I'd like to extend an invitation for you to come and visit as well, to see for yourself some of the challenges that are faced. I think what is absolutely clear is that this is going to require some leadership from the Welsh Government in terms of a commitment to bringing forward some investment in order to bring those other partners, which also have some responsibility, including the local authority, Welsh Water, national rail, et cetera, to the table. But I would be grateful if you could visit the constituency to meet with Conwy County Borough Council, some of the other partners and myself in order to explore a way forward.
Welsh: Diolch am eich ateb, Weinidog, ac a gaf fi gofnodi fy niolch i Lywodraeth Cymru am eu buddsoddiad mewn amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd yn fy etholaeth? Ond fe fyddwch yn gwybod bod un rhan o'r amddiffynfeydd môr yn arbennig o fregus yn ardal Hen Golwyn, rhan sy'n diogelu'r prif rwydwaith carthffosiaeth, cefnffordd yr A55, y promenâd ym Mae Colwyn, ac yn wir, rheilffordd gogledd Cymru. Gwelsom stormydd dramatig yn gynharach y mis hwn, sydd wedi niweidio'r amddiffynfeydd hynny ymhellach, ac mae bellach yn hanfodol eu bod yn cael eu huwchraddio a'u gwella er mwyn amddiffyn y seilwaith hanfodol hwnnw y soniais amdano. Nawr, roedd eich rhagflaenydd â'r portffolio ar gyfer amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd yn ddigon caredig i ymweld â'r etholaeth i ddysgu mwy am bryderon Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy mewn perthynas â breuder yr amddiffynfeydd hynny, a hoffwn estyn gwahoddiad i chi ddod ar ymweliad hefyd, i weld drosoch eich hun beth yw rhai o'r heriau a wynebir. Credaf ei bod yn hollol glir y bydd angen arweiniad gan Lywodraeth Cymru o ran ymrwymo i ddarparu buddsoddiad er mwyn cynnull y partneriaid eraill, sydd hefyd â pheth cyfrifoldeb, gan gynnwys yr awdurdod lleol, Dŵr Cymru, National Rail ac ati. Ond buaswn yn ddiolchgar pe gallech ymweld â'r etholaeth i gyfarfod â Chyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy, rhai o'r partneriaid eraill a minnau er mwyn archwilio ffordd ymlaen.
English: The Member wrote to me at the end of January, and I wrote back to you on 13 February just clarifying that we had not provided any agreement to fund work. Because I do really think that the local authority needs to get together with the third party beneficiaries - you named Network Rail as one of them - because I really think - you know, this is a £37 million scheme; that would absolutely take up all my budget. So, I really think that the leadership really needs to come from the local authority in getting these third parties together. I know officials are having ongoing discussions also.
Welsh: Ysgrifennodd yr Aelod ataf tua diwedd Ionawr, ac ysgrifennais yn ôl atoch ar 13 Chwefror i egluro nad oeddem wedi darparu unrhyw gytundeb i ariannu gwaith. Oherwydd rwy'n credu o ddifrif fod angen i'r awdurdod lleol ymuno â buddiolwyr trydydd parti eraill - fe enwoch chi Network Rail yn un ohonynt - gan fy mod yn credu - wyddoch chi, mae hwn yn gynllun gwerth £37 miliwn; byddai hynny'n mynd â fy nghyllideb i gyd. Felly, rwy'n credu o ddifrif fod angen i'r arweinyddiaeth ddod gan yr awdurdod lleol a dod â'r trydydd partïon hyn ynghyd. Gwn fod swyddogion yn cael trafodaethau parhaus hefyd.
English: Thank you. We expect the red meat sector in Wales to face considerable challenges post Brexit. We've been working closely with our stakeholders to help prepare the sector as best we can for the multiple challenges and considerable change that leaving the European Union is almost certain to present to our farmers and farming families.
Welsh: Diolch. Rydym yn disgwyl i'r sector cig coch yng Nghymru wynebu heriau sylweddol ar ôl Brexit. Rydym wedi bod yn gweithio'n agos gyda'n rhanddeiliaid i helpu i baratoi'r sector cystal ag y gallwn ar gyfer yr heriau lluosog a'r newid sylweddol y mae gadael yr Undeb Ewropeaidd bron yn sicr o'i olygu i'n ffermwyr a'n teuluoedd ffermio.
English: I recognise that lamb will indeed face significant challenges, particularly in a 'no deal' Brexit. I was pleased with our Brexit committee visit to Brussels over the past couple of days. We had a meeting with the New Zealand ambassador there and had constructive conversations, which I understand he's also now been having with the lamb sector in Wales. Will the Minister, though, give some more consideration to the beef sector? Because, if we were to leave the EU with no deal and apply tariffs to Irish exports to the UK, which are so significant, that would leave a very significant opportunity for beef and, indeed, dairy farmers in Wales to step up production profitably to fill that gap.
Welsh: Rwy'n cydnabod y bydd cig oen, yn wir, yn wynebu heriau sylweddol, yn enwedig mewn Brexit 'dim bargen'. Roeddwn yn falch iawn gydag ymweliad ein pwyllgor Brexit â Brwsel dros yr ychydig ddyddiau diwethaf. Cawsom gyfarfod â llysgennad Seland Newydd yno a chawsom sgyrsiau adeiladol, a deallaf ei fod hefyd bellach wedi bod yn trafod gyda'r sector cig oen yng Nghymru. Fodd bynnag, a wnaiff y Gweinidog roi mwy o ystyriaeth i'r sector cig eidion? Oherwydd, pe baem yn gadael yr UE heb gytundeb ac yn gosod tariffau ar allforion Iwerddon i'r DU, sydd mor sylweddol, byddai hynny'n gadael cyfle mawr iawn i ffermwyr cig eidion, ac yn wir, ffermwyr llaeth yng Nghymru gynyddu eu cynhyrchiant yn broffidiol er mwyn llenwi'r bwlch hwnnw.
English: I was going to say, when you said you were aware of the challenges to the lamb sector, I'm very aware of the challenges to the beef sector also. My officials have been doing, obviously, some scenario planning and it's not just about your sectors, it's about your position in Wales and where you are as to the effect a 'no deal' Brexit could have on you. One of the reasons I brought some funding forward under the EU transition scheme was to help the red meat sector, to help farmers, benchmark to make sure their business plans - they understood their performance and their productivity, so we could identify where to focus our real efforts. So, I think you're quite right, we do have to look at lamb and beef, but, really, we need to ensure that there is a 'no deal' - that there is not a 'no deal' Brexit.
Welsh: Roeddwn am ddweud, pan ddywedoch eich bod yn ymwybodol o'r heriau i'r sector cig oen, fy mod yn ymwybodol iawn o'r heriau i'r sector cig eidion hefyd. Mae fy swyddogion, yn amlwg, wedi bod yn gwneud gwaith ar gynllunio senarios ac mae'n ymwneud â mwy na'ch sectorau yn unig, mae'n ymwneud â'ch sefyllfa yng Nghymru a'r lle rydych o ran yr effaith y gallai Brexit 'dim bargen' ei chael arnoch. Un o'r rhesymau pam y darperais rywfaint o arian o dan gynllun pontio'r UE oedd i helpu'r sector cig coch, helpu ffermwyr, i feincnodi er mwyn sicrhau bod eu cynlluniau busnes - eu bod yn deall eu perfformiad a'u cynhyrchiant fel y gallem nodi ble i ganolbwyntio ein hymdrechion go iawn. Felly, credaf eich bod yn llygad eich lle, mae'n rhaid inni edrych ar gig oen a chig eidion, ond mewn gwirionedd, mae angen inni sicrhau bod 'dim bargen' - na cheir Brexit 'dim bargen'.
English: Thank you. The Welsh Government is committed to accelerating woodland creation in Wales, and I am aware that more needs to be done to encourage this. I have agreed to another round of Glastir woodland creation funding. I'll be making an oral statement on Welsh Government support for forestry in Wales in March.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i gyflymu'r broses o greu coetiroedd yng Nghymru, ac rwy'n ymwybodol fod angen gwneud mwy i annog hyn. Rwyf wedi cytuno i rownd arall o gyllid creu coetiroedd Glastir. Byddaf yn gwneud datganiad llafar ar gefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru i goedwigaeth yng Nghymru ym mis Mawrth.
