English: I think, leader of the house, that there will be many people up and down Wales who will be delighted to now receive superfast broadband over these next few years. I think in that regard you should be congratulated. It makes a massive difference to people's lives. I think the biggest disappointment to me in your statement today is that figure of 16,000 premises being just so low. In your statement today, you have talked about the 92 per cent of premises in Wales that now have access to superfast broadband service, and in the same sentence you talked about transformation as well. I do bring you back, as many on this side have previously, to 2011, of course. The Welsh Labour manifesto committed to, and I'm quoting here: 'ensure that all residential premises and all businesses in Wales will have access to Next Generation Broadband by 2015'. So, there are big frustrations here. You might say you weren't in Government then, but you were on 3 March 2015 when you said, and I quote: 'Our aim to reach 96% of Welsh premises by the end of Spring 2016with at least 40% of all the premises in the intervention area also benefitting from access to services in excess of 100Mbps.' So, this hasn't happened. So, what I would ask is: what clawback mechanisms have been in place to reimburse the public purse for BT not meeting the coverage obligations, as I understand them? I've not seen the contract, but that is as I understand it. What was set in the original contract? Perhaps you can clarify the position on that. What has been the penalty, if I've understood that correctly? I am intrigued to learn of the reasons behind the complexities that have delayed the awarding of phase 2 of the Superfast Cymru project. Are you in a position today to tell us? You have cited previously commercial confidentiality, but clearly two of those lots have now been awarded. I do think people will be expecting answers on why they've been left in the lurch in regard to the successor scheme. I have said previously many times that there should have been a seamless transition between phase 1 and phase 2 of the scheme, so that people were not left stranded with infrastructure hanging from poles outside their homes. I know we've had a difference of opinion on that. But that does bring me to my next question. What will happen to the stranded assets that Openreach has already invested in, but not completed because they ran out of time? Will these areas be guaranteed to be completed under phase 2? How many bidders were there for lots 1 and 3? If there was only one bidder, how have you ensured that you have benchmarked the bid to ensure competitive value for money for the public purse? You say £13 million has been allocated to lots 1 and 3 for 16,000 premises, but the original amount that was allocated was £80 million. So, what's happened to the additional £67 million? Is that to be spent on lot 2? Clearly not. So, perhaps you can provide some clarification on that. Why is the evaluation of tenders for lot 2 still ongoing? I think there has been delay after delay after delay on this. We heard back in January and the summer about a delay again and now the people of east Wales will want some answers as to why there was a further delay again. My understanding is that the open market review was conducted before the end of phase 1 of the Superfast Cymru scheme. So, can you confirm that all those so-called stranded premises or white premises in lots 1 and 3 will be included in phase 2 of the project, and if not, how many premises in lots 1 and 3 will be left without superfast broadband at the end of phase 2? The original estimate was that there were 98,145 white premises in 15,763 postcodes. Does this mean that there are over 82,000 premises in lot 2, and if not, why has the Welsh Government gone out to tender on a scheme that doesn't include every premises in Wales, as per your original pledge? Finally, will you also confirm that you have learned lessons from the mistakes of phase 1 and ensure that individual premises will be given guarantees as to whether or not they will be included in the successor scheme, rather than being based on a postcode system that allowed individual premises to be shifted in and out of scope? Thank you for your statement today, leader of the house, I look forward to receiving further information on lot 2, and perhaps you can tell us when that information is likely to come about.
Welsh: Rwyf i o'r farn, arweinydd y Tŷ, y bydd llawer o bobl ar hyd a lled Cymru yn falch iawn yn awr o gael band eang cyflym iawn yn yr ychydig flynyddoedd nesaf hyn. Credaf y dylid eich llongyfarch chi yn hynny o beth. Mae'n gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr i fywydau pobl. Rwy'n credu mai'r siom fwyaf i mi yn eich datganiad heddiw yw bod y ffigur hwnnw o 16,000 o safleoedd mor isel. Yn eich datganiad heddiw, rydych wedi sôn am 92 y cant o safleoedd yng Nghymru sydd yn cael gwasanaeth band eang cyflym iawn bellach, ac yn yr un frawddeg, roeddech chi'n sôn am drawsnewid hefyd. Rwyf am eich atgoffa, fel y mae llawer ar yr ochr hon wedi gwneud o'r blaen, o 2011, wrth gwrs. Roedd maniffesto Llafur Cymru wedi ymrwymo i, ac rwy'n dyfynnu yma: sicrhau y bydd pob eiddo preswyl a phob busnes yng Nghymru yn cael y Genhedlaeth Newydd o Fand Eang erbyn 2015. Felly, ceir rhwystredigaethau mawr yma. Efallai y gallech chi ddweud nad oeddech yn y Llywodraeth ar yr adeg honno, ond roeddech chi ar 3 Mawrth 2015 pryd y dywedasoch, a dyfynnaf: Ein nod o gyrraedd 96% o safleoedd yng Nghymru erbyn diwedd y gwanwyn 2016 gydag o leiaf 40% o bob safle yn yr ardal ymyrryd hefyd yn elwa o gael gwasanaethau dros 100Mbps. Nid yw hyn wedi digwydd. Felly, yr hyn yr hoffwn ei ofyn yw: pa fecanweithiau adfachu sydd wedi bod ar waith i ad-dalu'r pwrs cyhoeddus am na wnaeth BT gyflawni rhwymedigaethau'r ddarpariaeth, fel yr wyf yn eu deall nhw? Nid wyf wedi gweld y contract, ond dyna'r hyn a ddeallaf. Beth a gafodd ei osod yn y contract gwreiddiol? Efallai y gallech egluro'r sefyllfa ynghylch hynny. Beth yw'r gosb wedi bod, os wyf i wedi deall hyn yn iawn? Byddwn yn falch iawn o gael clywed am y rhesymau y tu ôl i'r cymhlethdodau sydd wedi gohirio dyfarniad cam 2 prosiect Cyflymu Cymru. A ydych mewn sefyllfa i ddweud wrthym ni heddiw? Rydych wedi nodi cyfrinachedd masnachol o'r blaen, ond yn amlwg mae dwy o'r lotiau hynny bellach wedi eu rhoi. Rwyf i o'r farn y bydd pobl yn disgwyl atebion o ran pam maent wedi eu gadael mewn twll o ran y cynllun olynol. Rwyf wedi dweud lawer tro o'r blaen y dylid bod wedi cael pontio di-dor rhwng cam 1 a cham 2 yn y cynllun, fel nad oedd pobl yn cael eu gadael wedi eu hynysu gyda'r seilwaith yn hongian o bolion tu allan i'w cartrefi. Rwy'n gwybod bod gwahaniaeth barn wedi bod o ran hynny. Ond mae hynny'n fy arwain i at fy nghwestiwn nesaf. Beth fydd yn digwydd i'r asedau ynysig y mae Openreach wedi buddsoddi ynddyn nhw eisoes, ond heb eu cwblhau am eu bod wedi rhedeg allan o amser? A oes gwarant y bydd y meysydd hyn yn cael eu cwblhau o dan gam 2? Faint o ymgeiswyr a gafwyd am lotiau 1 a 3? Os nad oedd ond un ymgeisydd, sut yr ydych wedi sicrhau eich bod wedi meincnodi'r cais i sicrhau gwerth cystadleuol am arian i bwrs y wlad? Rydych yn dweud bod £13 miliwn wedi ei ddyrannu ar gyfer lotiau 1 a 3 am 16,000 o safleoedd, ond £80 miliwn oedd y swm gwreiddiol a ddyrannwyd. Felly, beth sydd wedi digwydd i'r £67 miliwn arall? A yw hwnnw'n cael ei wario ar lot 2? Yn amlwg, na. Felly, efallai y gwnewch chi roi rhywfaint o eglurhad ar hynny. Pam mae'r gwerthuso tendrau ar gyfer lot 2 yn dal i fynd rhagddo? Credaf y bu oedi ar ôl oedi ar ôl oedi yn hyn o beth. Clywsom nôl ym mis Ionawr ac yn yr haf am oedi eto ac yn awr bydd pobl dwyrain Cymru yn awyddus i gael rhai atebion o ran pam mae oedi pellach unwaith yn rhagor. Fy nealltwriaeth i yw y cynhaliwyd adolygiad o'r farchnad agored cyn diwedd cyfnod 1 cynllun Cyflymu Cymru. Felly, a wnewch chi gadarnhau y bydd yr holl safleoedd ynysig hyn fel y'u gelwir neu safleoedd gwyn yn lotiau 1 a 3 yn cael eu cynnwys yng ngham 2 y prosiect, ac os nad ydyn nhw, faint o safleoedd yn lotiau 1 a 3 fydd yn cael eu gadael heb fand eang cyflym iawn ar ddiwedd cam 2? Yr amcangyfrif gwreiddiol oedd bod yna 98,145 safle gwyn mewn 15,763 o godau post. A yw hyn yn golygu bod yna dros 82,000 o safleoedd yn lot 2, ac os nad oes, pam mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi mynd i dendr ar gynllun nad yw'n cynnwys pob safle yng Nghymru, fel y nodir yn eich addewid wreiddiol? Yn olaf, a wnewch chi gadarnhau hefyd eich bod wedi dysgu gwersi oddi wrth y camgymeriadau yng ngham 1 a sicrhau y bydd safleoedd unigol yn cael gwarantau ynghylch cael eu cynnwys yn y cynllun olynol neu beidio, yn hytrach na'u bod yn seiliedig ar system cod post a oedd yn caniatáu i safleoedd unigol gael eu symud i mewn ac allan o'r cwmpas? Diolch i chi am eich datganiad heddiw, Arweinydd y Tŷ, rwy'n edrych ymlaen at gael mwy o wybodaeth am lot 2, ac efallai y gallwch chi ddweud wrthym pryd y byddwn yn debygol o gael yr wybodaeth honno.
