English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and can I thank Members for their contributions? There were a number of similar themes raised by Members, and I'll try to address each one. First of all, I should say that I would agree entirely with Peredur Owen Griffiths that we should not and cannot allow this year's process so late in the day to be repeated, but surely, as Peredur himself acknowledged, we will never see such shifting landscapes whilst we're setting a budget. These have been unprecedented times. We surely will never see three changes of Prime Minister during the budget-setting process, three changes of Chancellor, a mini-budget, an autumn statement, and the economy falling into recession. So, I would hope that this will be exceptional, but I also think that it is responsible for us to be making the pledge to find valuable in-year savings, and I thank Members for highlighting some of those measures that may be agreed as we consider how we can make cost savings in 2023-24. In terms of the overall budget, one of the challenges that we have in the Commission is that we have barely any discretionary spend. Essentially, we spend the budget on people and on the places, and there is barely any money left over for us to invest in some of those measures that have been raised today by Peter Fox, for example, of photovoltaic solar panels. That forms part of the project fund. So, in making the savings that we have pledged, we are going to have to make some very difficult decisions about some of those energy-saving measures that we had planned within the project fund. That said, we have already made good progress in terms of savings on utility costs. It's been recognised that we have reduced the temperature here, and I should say to Members that that will result in a 10 per cent saving. But every single Member in the Senedd has controls in their office that they can use to further reduce the temperature. Personally, I like to work in Arctic conditions. I'd be quite happy to be Bob Cratchit, quite frankly, but Members themselves can turn down the temperature, and I would encourage them to do so in order to make savings. Systems can be turned off. Entire zones can be turned off, and will be turned off. We may have to make the difficult decision about closing buildings if we are to achieve even deeper savings, and that is because there is such little discretionary spend. We're making a 5 per cent saving, or more, by switching off heating to areas we know are unused on certain days, and these measures will continue through the course of the next financial year. Dirprwy Lywydd, if I may, I will highlight some of the other possible areas for savings -
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd, ac a gaf fi ddiolch i'r Aelodau am eu cyfraniadau? Codwyd nifer o themâu tebyg gan yr Aelodau, ac rwyf am geisio ateb pob un. Yn gyntaf oll, dylwn ddweud y byddwn yn cytuno'n llwyr â Peredur Owen Griffiths na ddylem ac na allwn ganiatáu i broses eleni, a ddigwyddodd mor hwyr, gael ei hailadrodd, ond yn sicr, fel y cydnabu Peredur ei hun, ni fyddwn byth yn gweld sefyllfa mor ansefydlog eto wrth inni osod cyllideb. Mae hwn wedi bod yn gyfnod digynsail. Mae'n siŵr na welwn dri gwahanol Brif Weinidog y DU eto yn ystod y broses o osod y gyllideb, tri gwahanol Ganghellor, cyllideb fach, datganiad yr hydref, a dirwasgiad yn yr economi. Felly, byddwn yn gobeithio mai eithriad fydd hyn, ond credaf hefyd ei bod yn gyfrifol inni ymrwymo i ddod o hyd i arbedion gwerthfawr yn ystod y flwyddyn, a diolch i'r Aelodau am dynnu sylw at rai o'r mesurau y gellir cytuno arnynt o bosibl wrth inni ystyried sut y gallwn arbed costau yn 2023-24. O ran y gyllideb gyffredinol, un o'r heriau sydd gennym yn y Comisiwn yw nad oes gennym fawr ddim gwariant dewisol. Yn y bôn, rydym yn gwario'r gyllideb ar bobl ac ar y lleoedd, a phrin fod unrhyw arian ar ôl inni fuddsoddi yn rhai o'r mesurau a godwyd heddiw gan Peter Fox, er enghraifft paneli solar ffotofoltäig. Mae hynny'n rhan o'r gronfa prosiectau. Felly, wrth wneud yr arbedion rydym wedi'u haddo, rydym yn mynd i orfod gwneud rhai penderfyniadau anodd iawn ynglŷn â rhai o'r mesurau arbed ynni hynny roeddem wedi'u cynllunio o fewn y gronfa prosiectau. Wedi dweud hynny, rydym eisoes wedi gwneud cynnydd da gydag arbedion ar gostau cyfleustodau. Cydnabuwyd ein bod wedi gostwng y tymheredd yma, a dylwn ddweud wrth yr Aelodau y bydd hynny'n arwain at arbediad o 10 y cant. Ond mae gan bob un Aelod yn y Senedd unedau rheoli yn eu swyddfa y gallant eu defnyddio i ostwng y tymheredd ymhellach. Yn bersonol, rwy'n hoff o weithio dan amodau Arctig. Byddwn yn ddigon bodlon bod yn Bob Cratchit, a dweud y gwir, ond gall yr Aelodau eu hunain ostwng y tymheredd, a byddwn yn eu hannog i wneud hynny er mwyn gwneud arbedion. Gellir diffodd systemau. Gellir diffodd parthau cyfan, a byddant yn cael eu diffodd. Efallai y bydd yn rhaid inni wneud y penderfyniad anodd i gau adeiladau os ydym am sicrhau arbedion mwy fyth, a hynny am fod cyn lleied o wariant dewisol. Rydym yn gwneud arbediad o 5 y cant, neu fwy, drwy ddiffodd y gwres mewn mannau y gwyddom nad ydynt yn cael eu defnyddio ar ddiwrnodau penodol, a bydd y mesurau hyn yn parhau drwy gydol y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf. Ddirprwy Lywydd, os caf, hoffwn dynnu sylw at rai o'r meysydd eraill posibl ar gyfer arbedion -
