English: I'm very happy to debate the comparative performance during the pandemic of Governments on health issues, but my question was about support for businesses and the apparent gap between your statement, that full use of the consequential funding for Wales had been made, when the figures from Wales Fiscal Analysis suggested that the figures were far greater. After the Welsh Government issued revised grant eligibility criteria for self-catering businesses last April, Isle of Anglesey County Council's chief executive told me that the change in the guidance was designed to ensure that councils did not pay grants to people who had simply switched their property from the council tax register to business rates in order to avoid paying the council tax premium on second homes, and that the council is using the discretion allowed by the guidance to make sure that they pay genuine self-catering businesses and are not automatically disqualifying applications simply because the businesses could not show that the property generates at least 50 per cent of the owner's annual income. When I previously wrote to you regarding eligibility, you also confirmed in writing that local authorities are not obligated to withhold payment, if they're otherwise satisfied that the application is from a legitimate self-catering business. However, a view has recently been expressed to me that local authorities should only use discretion on whether or not to award a grant where a self-catering business applicant falls just short of one of the three criteria, and they would expect local authorities to use their discretion only in such circumstances. For clarity, will you therefore confirm that both your original response to me and that of Anglesey's chief executive still stand?
Welsh: Rwy'n fwy na pharod i drafod perfformiad cymharol y Llywodraethau ar faterion iechyd yn ystod y pandemig, ond roedd fy nghwestiwn yn ymwneud â chymorth i fusnesau a'r bwlch ymddangosiadol rhwng eich datganiad, fod y cyllid canlyniadol i Gymru wedi'i ddefnyddio'n llawn, pan fo ffigurau Dadansoddi Cyllid Cymru yn awgrymu bod y ffigurau'n uwch o lawer. Ar ôl i Lywodraeth Cymru gyhoeddi'r meini prawf cymhwysedd diwygiedig ar gyfer grantiau i fusnesau llety hunanddarpar fis Ebrill diwethaf, dywedodd prif weithredwr Cyngor Sir Ynys Môn wrthyf fod y newid yn y canllawiau wedi'i gynllunio i sicrhau nad oedd cynghorau'n talu grantiau i bobl a oedd wedi tynnu eu heiddo oddi ar gofrestr y dreth gyngor a newid i dalu ardrethi busnes er mwyn osgoi talu premiwm y dreth gyngor ar ail gartrefi, a bod y cyngor yn defnyddio'r disgresiwn a ganiateir gan y canllawiau i sicrhau eu bod yn talu busnesau llety hunanddarpar dilys ac nad ydynt yn gwahardd ceisiadau yn awtomatig pan na all y busnesau ddangos bod yr eiddo'n cynhyrchu o leiaf 50 y cant o incwm blynyddol y perchennog. Pan ysgrifennais atoch o'r blaen ynglŷn â chymhwysedd, fe wnaethoch gadarnhau yn ysgrifenedig hefyd nad oes rheidrwydd ar awdurdodau lleol i gadw taliadau yn ôl, os ydynt yn fodlon fel arall fod y cais wedi'i wneud gan fusnes llety hunanddarpar dilys. Fodd bynnag, mynegwyd barn wrthyf yn ddiweddar na ddylai awdurdodau lleol ddefnyddio disgresiwn ynglŷn â dyfarnu grant ai peidio heblaw bod busnes hunanddarpar yn gwneud cais sydd ond ychydig yn fyr o fodloni un o'r tri maen prawf, a byddent yn disgwyl i awdurdod lleol ddefnyddio ei ddisgresiwn mewn amgylchiadau o'r fath yn unig. Er eglurder, a wnewch chi gadarnhau felly nad yw eich ymateb gwreiddiol i mi ac ymateb prif weithredwr Ynys Môn wedi newid?
