English: Yes. Paul Davies will know that we've been really working very hard to build a lot more social homes in Wales; it's been a significant priority for this First Minister to accelerate both the pace and scale of social home building. At the moment, most social homes in Wales are built by registered social landlords because, as he will know, there were restrictions on the housing revenue accounts of local authorities until only last year. So, we've worked very hard with local authorities to remove those restrictions and get the right frameworks in place for the councils themselves to be able to borrow to build housing, whether they're stockholding or non-stockholding. In the meantime, we have been making a series of investments. So far in this Assembly term, we've invested £1.7 billion in housing, £137 million of that in social housing grant, and over £33 million in housing finance grant. For the mid and south-west Wales region, we estimate that the social housing need is 44 per cent of the new homes needed, so 44 per cent of the new homes built in the mid and south-west Wales region should be houses that are affordable if we are to get to where we need to be. So, I agree with you entirely that we need to accelerate that programme. We've been investing £71.5 million revenue funding over 29 years under the affordable housing grant programme to support the local housing authorities to build new council homes, including Pembrokeshire County Council. Around 400 new social homes are expected to be funded directly through that initiative across Wales. We're also on track to achieve our target of bringing 5,000 empty homes back into use during this Assembly term. We've already provided councils in Wales with £40 million to support property owners to help bring back empty properties into use. Very recently, I made a statement in this Chamber about using the private rented sector to assist with social housing in the interim while we build the homes that we need, and it was welcomed from across the Chamber; I think we're all on the same page around hoping to take that scheme forward. So, I absolutely agree with him; we do need to build at pace and scale. We have worked very hard to get those arrangements in place in only the year we've had to get that started. Pembrokeshire has had its full share of the grant, as have the national park authorities, where appropriate, for the planning arrangements. In the meantime, we're putting a series of interim measures in place.
Welsh: Ie. Bydd Paul Davies yn gwybod ein bod wedi bod yn gweithio'n galed iawn i adeiladu llawer mwy o gartrefi cymdeithasol yng Nghymru; mae cynyddu cyflymder a graddfa'r gwaith o adeiladu cartrefi cymdeithasol wedi bod yn flaenoriaeth bwysig i Brif Weinidog Cymru. Ar hyn o bryd, caiff y rhan fwyaf o gartrefi cymdeithasol yng Nghymru eu hadeiladu gan landlordiaid cymdeithasol cofrestredig oherwydd, fel y gŵyr, roedd cyfyngiadau ar gyfrifon refeniw tai awdurdodau lleol tan y llynedd. Felly, rydym wedi gweithio'n galed iawn gydag awdurdodau lleol i ddileu'r cyfyngiadau hynny a sicrhau bod y fframweithiau cywir ar waith er mwyn i'r cynghorau eu hunain allu benthyca i adeiladu tai, p'un a ydynt yn dal stoc dai neu beidio. Yn y cyfamser, rydym wedi bod yn gwneud cyfres o fuddsoddiadau. Hyd yn hyn, yn ystod tymor y Cynulliad hwn, rydym wedi buddsoddi £1.7 biliwn mewn tai, a £137 miliwn o hwnnw yn y grant tai cymdeithasol, a thros £33 miliwn yn y grant cyllid tai. Ar gyfer rhanbarth y canolbarth a'r de-orllewin, amcangyfrifwn fod yr angen am dai cymdeithasol yn 44 y cant o'r tai newydd sydd eu hangen, felly dylai 44 y cant o'r cartrefi newydd a adeiledir yn rhanbarth canolbarth a de-orllewin Cymru fod yn dai fforddiadwy os ydym am gyrraedd lle mae angen inni fod. Felly, cytunaf yn llwyr â chi fod angen inni gyflymu'r rhaglen honno. Rydym wedi bod yn buddsoddi £71.5 miliwn o gyllid refeniw dros 29 mlynedd o dan y rhaglen grant tai fforddiadwy i helpu'r awdurdodau tai lleol i adeiladu tai cyngor newydd, gan gynnwys Cyngor Sir Penfro. Disgwylir i tua 400 o gartrefi cymdeithasol newydd gael eu hariannu'n uniongyrchol drwy'r fenter honno ledled Cymru. Rydym hefyd ar y trywydd iawn i gyrraedd ein targed o sicrhau bod 5,000 o dai gwag yn cael eu defnyddio unwaith eto yn ystod tymor y Cynulliad hwn. Rydym eisoes wedi rhoi £40 miliwn i gynghorau yng Nghymru i helpu perchnogion eiddo i ailddechrau defnyddio eiddo gwag. Yn ddiweddar iawn, gwneuthum ddatganiad yn y Siambr am ddefnyddio'r sector rhentu preifat i gynorthwyo gyda thai cymdeithasol yn y cyfamser wrth inni adeiladu'r cartrefi rydym eu hangen, ac fe'i croesawyd o bob rhan o'r Siambr; rwy'n credu ein bod i gyd ar yr un dudalen ac yn gobeithio bwrw ymlaen â'r cynllun hwnnw. Felly, rwy'n cytuno'n llwyr ag ef; mae angen i ni gynyddu cyflymder a graddfa'r gwaith adeiladu. Rydym wedi gweithio'n galed iawn i sicrhau bod y trefniadau hynny ar waith yn y flwyddyn rydym wedi'i chael i gychwyn ar y gwaith hwnnw. Mae sir Benfro wedi cael ei chyfran lawn o'r grant, fel y mae awdurdodau'r parciau cenedlaethol, lle bo'n briodol, ar gyfer y trefniadau cynllunio. Yn y cyfamser, rydym yn rhoi cyfres o fesurau interim ar waith.
