English: Can I thank Helen Mary Jones for her questions and assure her that that focus is equally on rural and distinct communities as it is on urban communities? It's why we've invested so heavily in services through the TrawsCymru network. It's why we believe that the reforms to local bus services through legislation that's going to be brought to this Chamber is so vitally important, and we are fully committed to improving connectivity right across Wales, in rural and in urban areas. Of course, the £3.7 billion consequential will be spent against Welsh Government priorities, and transport is a key Welsh Government priority. We know the cost of rail infrastructure improvements. That £3.7 million could pay for many projects that would improve the metro infrastructure in north and south Wales. Now, I'm going to go back to the first points that Helen Mary Jones made, and thank her for the support for the principles of the metro projects. I think that support is consistent with other support that has been offered across this Chamber for the Welsh Government's approach to rail infrastructure, and in particular to our submission to Williams. In essence, the problem that we have with investment in infrastructure in the UK is that the business case is set against Treasury Green Book rules, and that will always skew investment towards areas that have already benefited heavily from investment - areas where there already is good connectivity and areas where there is already a high concentration of wealth. Those rules need to be torn up. I took heart from briefings that took place over the Christmas period by either UK Government Ministers or advisers to the press that Ministers were looking at tearing up those rules. We've seen nothing of any paper being torn up since, but I am hopeful that they will take a different approach now that they have a different Prime Minister, and that they will back up their claims of wanting to rebalance the UK economy by implementing new rules for investment. In terms of questions about devolution of rail infrastructure, and whether there might be a plan B, we simply don't know what Keith Williams is going to recommend when his report is finally published. Therefore, we don't know what could be contained with the rail White Paper. I've met with Secretaries of State on numerous occasions, not just within transport, but also in the Wales Office, and pressed the case for full devolution and a fair settlement to go with it. I think we've made a powerful and united case for devolution - a united case that has received support from every single party in this Chamber, and so I remain optimistic. However, if it's decided that devolution will not take place, then we would expect a carefully considered method of investing what we deserve in Wales, and in a way that gives us control over enhancements. Now, in terms of HS2, I'm not entirely certain what the Plaid Cymru position is on HS2, to be honest. I think it is to oppose HS2 even if it brings a £50 million annual benefit to north Wales. The position of Plaid Cymru seems to be to oppose HS2, and I would invite Plaid Cymru just to confirm whether or not Plaid Cymru would oppose HS2 if we were successful in electrifying the line from Crewe to Holyhead. [ Interruption.] Right, so we've had the answer. We've had the answer. In no circumstances will Plaid Cymru support better connectivity across north Wales and to London and to the midlands and to the north-west with HS2. That is its position - that north Wales will lose out under Plaid Cymru. If they were to take forward their proposals, we would never see electrified HS2 services to the north of our country. That is simply unacceptable as a position to take, because we know, for example, that, there or thereabout, 25,000 people cross the border from Wales to England each day. They can't access their jobs by rail at the moment or by public transport - they are having to take motor vehicles. That's why our focus at the outset has been on improving connectivity in and around the Deeside industrial estate. A similar number of people cross the border the other way to get employment, contributing hugely to carbon emissions, and that's why, as a responsible Government that is determined to meet its obligations in the climate emergency, we are investing in the metro in that area. And it's also why I believe that HS2 could be beneficial to the north of Wales - [ Interruption.] - but only if the right option for Crewe is delivered and we get that £1 billion investment from Crewe to Holyhead. [ Interruption.] The Member shouts, 'That is not on the table.' That is precisely what the Prime Minister has been told is needed by the First Minister. We've not had a response yet from the Prime Minister, but it is very well known now that with the TEN-T programme, with the obligation on the UK Government to deliver electrification - if that takes place, we could see future Avanti services, HS services, high-speed services travelling through north Wales. Why would Plaid Cymru oppose HS2 delivering for north Wales? It's a bizarre position to take. Now, the £20 million that is being allocated for metro improvements is money that can be spent in the financial year that it's being allocated - money that will deliver improvements across north Wales, not just within that immediate Deeside enterprise park area. And it's part of our plans to spend £1 billion on transport schemes in north Wales - £1 billion. We would hope the UK Government would meet our investment with £1 billion to electrify the main line as well. In terms of accountability for metro schemes, for bus services and so forth - well, of course, it sits with the Welsh Minister in so far as Welsh Government responsibilities are concerned. But with the corporate joint committees, they would have, through their council leaders - responsibility and accountability would be with them. I can promise the Member that we are already working with the health board with regard to Hywel Dda and making sure that we do have good public transport links to that particular piece of social infrastructure. It's absolutely vital that people are able to access hospitals by public transport, and that's exactly what we're going to make sure we do with Hywel Dda.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Helen Mary Jones am ei chwestiynau a'i sicrhau bod yr un pwyslais hwnnw ar gymunedau gwledig ag sydd ar gymunedau trefol? Dyna pam yr ydym wedi buddsoddi cymaint mewn gwasanaethau drwy rwydwaith TrawsCymru. Dyna pam yr ydym ni o'r farn bod y diwygiadau i wasanaethau bysiau lleol drwy ddeddfwriaeth a fydd yn cael ei chyflwyno i'r Siambr hon mor hanfodol bwysig, ac rydym wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i wella cysylltedd ledled Cymru gyfan, mewn ardaloedd gwledig a threfol. Wrth gwrs, bydd y swm canlyniadol o £3.7 biliwn yn cael ei wario ar flaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru, ac mae trafnidiaeth yn flaenoriaeth allweddol i Lywodraeth Cymru. Rydym yn gwybod beth yw cost gwelliannau i'r seilwaith rheilffyrdd. Gallai'r £3.7 miliwn hwnnw dalu am lawer o brosiectau a fyddai'n gwella'r seilwaith metro yn y gogledd a'r de. Nawr, rwyf am fynd yn ôl at y pwyntiau cyntaf a wnaeth Helen Mary Jones, a diolch iddi am y gefnogaeth i egwyddorion y prosiectau metro. Rwy'n credu bod y gefnogaeth honno yn gyson â chefnogaeth arall a gynigiwyd ar draws y Siambr hon i ddull Llywodraeth Cymru o ymdrin â seilwaith rheilffyrdd, ac yn benodol i'n cyflwyniad i Williams. Yn ei hanfod, y broblem sydd gennym o ran buddsoddi mewn seilwaith yn y DU yw bod yr achos busnes yn cael ei osod yn erbyn rheolau Llyfr Gwyrdd y Trysorlys, a bydd hynny bob amser yn gogwyddo buddsoddiad tuag at ardaloedd sydd eisoes wedi elwa'n sylweddol ar fuddsoddiad - ardaloedd lle mae cysylltedd da eisoes yn bodoli ac ardaloedd lle mae crynodiad uchel o gyfoeth eisoes. Mae angen rhwygo'r rheolau hynny. Cefais fy nghalonogi gan sesiynau briffio a gynhaliwyd dros gyfnod y Nadolig naill ai gan Weinidogion neu gynghorwyr Llywodraeth y DU i'r wasg bod Gweinidogion yn ystyried rhwygo'r rheolau hynny. Nid ydym ni wedi gweld unrhyw bapur yn cael ei rwygo ers hynny, ond rwy'n gobeithio y byddan nhw'n defnyddio dull gwahanol gan fod ganddyn nhw Brif Weinidog gwahanol erbyn hyn, ac y byddan nhw'n ategu eu honiadau o fod eisiau ailgydbwyso economi'r DU drwy weithredu rheolau newydd ar gyfer buddsoddiad. O ran y cwestiynau ynglŷn â datganoli seilwaith rheilffyrdd, ac a allai fod cynllun B, yn syml nid ydym yn gwybod beth y bydd Keith Williams yn ei argymell pan gaiff ei adroddiad ei gyhoeddi o'r diwedd. Felly, nid ydym yn gwybod beth y gellid ei gynnwys gyda'r Papur Gwyn ar reilffyrdd. Rwyf wedi cwrdd ag Ysgrifenyddion Gwladol ar sawl achlysur, nid yn unig o fewn trafnidiaeth, ond hefyd yn Swyddfa Cymru, ac wedi pwysleisio'r achos dros ddatganoli llawn a setliad teg i gyd-fynd ag ef. Rwy'n credu ein bod wedi gwneud achos pwerus ac unedig dros ddatganoli - achos unedig sydd wedi cael cefnogaeth gan bob un blaid yn y Siambr hon, ac felly rwy'n parhau i fod yn optimistaidd. Fodd bynnag, os penderfynir na fydd datganoli'n digwydd, yna byddem yn disgwyl dull sydd wedi ei ystyried yn ofalus o fuddsoddi yr hyn yr ydym yn ei haeddu yng Nghymru, ac mewn ffordd sy'n rhoi rheolaeth i ni dros welliannau. Nawr, o ran HS2, nid wyf yn hollol sicr beth yw safbwynt Plaid Cymru ynglŷn â HS2, a dweud y gwir. Rwy'n credu mai gwrthwynebu HS2 y maen nhw hyd yn oed os bydd yn dod â £50 miliwn o fudd blynyddol i'r gogledd. Mae'n ymddangos mai safbwynt Plaid Cymru yw gwrthwynebu HS2, a byddwn i'n gwahodd Plaid Cymru i gadarnhau a fyddent yn gwrthwynebu HS2 ai peidio pe baem ni'n llwyddo i drydaneiddio'r rheilffordd o Crewe i Gaergybi. [ Torri ar draws.] Iawn, felly rydym wedi cael yr ateb. Rydym wedi cael yr ateb. Ni fydd Plaid Cymru yn cefnogi cysylltedd gwell ar draws y gogledd ac i Lundain ac i Ganolbarth Lloegr ac i'r gogledd-orllewin gyda HS2 o dan unrhyw amgylchiadau. Dyna yw ei safbwynt - y bydd y gogledd ar ei cholled o dan Blaid Cymru. Pe baent yn bwrw ymlaen â'u cynigion nhw, ni fyddem byth yn gweld gwasanaethau HS2 wedi eu trydaneiddio i'r gogledd o'n gwlad. Mae hynny'n safbwynt gwbl annerbyniol i'w arddel, oherwydd rydym yn gwybod, er enghraifft, bod 25,000 o bobl, fwy neu lai, yn croesi'r ffin o Gymru i Loegr bob dydd. Nid ydyn nhw'n gallu cyrraedd eu swyddi ar drenau ar hyn o bryd nac ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus - mae'n rhaid iddyn nhw ddefnyddio cerbydau modur. Dyna pam ein bod wedi canolbwyntio o'r cychwyn ar wella cysylltedd yn ystad ddiwydiannol Glannau Dyfrdwy ac o'i hamgylch. Mae nifer tebyg o bobl yn croesi'r ffin y ffordd arall i gael gwaith, gan gyfrannu'n aruthrol at allyriadau carbon, a dyna pam, fel Llywodraeth gyfrifol sy'n benderfynol o gyflawni ei rhwymedigaethau yn yr argyfwng hinsawdd, ein bod yn buddsoddi yn y metro yn yr ardal honno. A dyma hefyd pam yr wyf i'n credu y gallai HS2 fod yn fuddiol i'r gogledd - [ Torri ar draws.] - ond dim ond os yw'r opsiwn cywir ar gyfer Crewe yn cael ei gyflawni a'n bod yn cael y buddsoddiad hwnnw o £1 biliwn o Crewe i Gaergybi. [ Torri ar draws.] Mae'r Aelod yn gweiddi, 'Nid yw hynny ar y bwrdd.' Dyna'n union y mae Prif Weinidog Cymru wedi dweud wrth Brif Weinidog y DU y mae ei angen. Nid ydym wedi cael ymateb gan y Prif Weinidog hyd yn hyn, ond mae'n hysbys iawn erbyn hyn, gyda'r rhaglen TEN-T, gyda'r rhwymedigaeth ar Lywodraeth y DU i gyflwyno trydaneiddio - os bydd hynny'n digwydd, y gallem weld gwasanaethau Avanti, gwasanaethau HS, gwasanaethau cyflym iawn yn teithio trwy'r gogledd yn y dyfodol. Pam fyddai Plaid Cymru yn gwrthwynebu HS2 yn cyflawni ar gyfer y gogledd? Mae'n safbwynt rhyfedd i'w arddel. Nawr, mae'r £20 miliwn sy'n cael ei neilltuo ar gyfer gwelliannau i'r metro yn arian y gellir ei wario yn y flwyddyn ariannol y mae'n cael ei ddyrannu ynddi - arian a fydd yn sicrhau gwelliannau ar draws y gogledd, nid dim ond o fewn ardal gyfagos parc menter Glannau Dyfrdwy. Ac mae'n rhan o'n cynlluniau i wario £1 biliwn ar gynlluniau trafnidiaeth yn y gogledd - £1 biliwn. Byddem yn gobeithio y byddai Llywodraeth y DU yn cyfateb ein buddsoddiad ag £1 biliwn i drydaneiddio'r brif reilffordd hefyd. O ran atebolrwydd ar gyfer cynlluniau metro, ar gyfer gwasanaethau bysiau ac yn y blaen - wel, wrth gwrs, mae'n gorffwys gyda Gweinidogion Cymru cyn belled ag y mae cyfrifoldebau Llywodraeth Cymru yn y cwestiwn. Ond gyda'r cydbwyllgorau corfforaethol, drwy eu harweinwyr cyngor - byddai'r cyfrifoldeb a'r atebolrwydd yn gorffwys gyda nhw. Gallaf addo i'r Aelod ein bod ni eisoes yn gweithio gyda'r bwrdd iechyd yng nghyswllt Hywel Dda ac yn sicrhau bod gennym ni gysylltiadau trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus da â'r darn penodol hwnnw o seilwaith cymdeithasol. Mae'n gwbl hanfodol bod pobl yn gallu cael mynediad i ysbytai ar drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, a dyna'n union y byddwn yn sicrhau ein bod yn ei wneud gyda Hywel Dda.
