English: Certainly, I have met with the association representing museums. What we are working on emphasising - . If she has read, which I'm sure she has, the remit letter that I sent fairly recently to National Museum Wales, we emphasise the importance of working closely with local museums and with regional hubs in terms of museums. I'm very keen to see how we can develop this further in creating partnerships in the tourism regions I've just described, between museums, so that people can undertake a tour of different museums within a region, so that they can enjoy the offer that we have. I don't know why, to answer her first question, the museums in Wales have not benefited from that particular prize, but I will certainly find out in greater detail what the criteria are for this award. But as far as we're concerned, we welcome the collaboration with both local authority museums and heritage sites that have museums on them that are in private ownership. In particular, I have visited a number of privately owned wonderful castles, many of them in parts of the world that will be well known to her in the Tywi valley. I know how much people who care for these particular monuments are pleased to be working with Cadw in terms of the organisation of the place, while also clearly benefiting from the numbers of visitors, who are paying visitors, to their properties.
Welsh: Yn sicr, rwyf wedi cyfarfod â'r gymdeithas sy'n cynrychioli amgueddfeydd. Yr hyn rydym yn ceisio ei bwysleisio - . Os yw hi wedi darllen, ac rwy'n siŵr ei bod, y llythyr cylch gwaith a anfonais yn weddol ddiweddar at Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru, rydym yn pwysleisio pwysigrwydd cydweithio'n agos ag amgueddfeydd lleol a chyda chanolfannau rhanbarthol mewn perthynas ag amgueddfeydd. Rwy'n awyddus iawn i weld sut y gallwn ddatblygu hyn ymhellach wrth greu partneriaethau yn y rhanbarthau twristiaeth rwyf newydd eu disgrifio, rhwng amgueddfeydd, fel y gall pobl fynd ar daith o amgylch gwahanol amgueddfeydd mewn rhanbarth, iddynt allu mwynhau'r cynnig sydd gennym. I ateb ei chwestiwn cyntaf, ni wn pam nad yw amgueddfeydd yng Nghymru wedi elwa o'r wobr arbennig honno, ond byddaf yn sicr yn edrych yn fanylach i weld beth yw'r meini prawf ar gyfer y wobr hon. Ond o'n rhan ninnau, rydym yn croesawu'r cydweithrediad ag amgueddfeydd awdurdodau lleol a safleoedd treftadaeth sydd ag amgueddfeydd arnynt mewn perchnogaeth breifat. Yn benodol, rwyf wedi ymweld â nifer o gestyll gwych sy'n eiddo preifat, ac mae llawer ohonynt mewn rhannau o'r byd a fydd yn hysbys iddi yn Nyffryn Tywi. Gwn pa mor falch yw'r bobl sy'n malio am yr henebion penodol hyn o weithio gyda Cadw o ran trefniadaeth y lle, ac maent hefyd yn amlwg yn elwa o nifer yr ymwelwyr, ymwelwyr sy'n talu, sy'n ymweld â'u heiddo.
English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Cabinet Secretary, this month's edition of Modern Railways magazine, which I know is required reading material for all Assembly Members, reported that future Valleys lines trains will no longer offer toilets on board for passengers. I'd like you to confirm whether or not this is the case. But, before you do that, I'd like to point out that there are two aspects to this question, really. In the short term, it's suggested that, in order to avoid failing accessibility requirements and disability legislation, instead of proactively upgrading the existing Pacer stock to comply with the persons of reduced mobility specifications, the Welsh Government has opted to lock the toilets instead. Now, you've denied that, but I'd like you to set out in detail how you plan to make the Pacer trains compliant with the legislation. The second element, looking to the future, is that it's widely believed that light rail trains, which do not normally include toilets, are being considered for some of the Valleys lines as part of the development of the south Wales metro. Can you confirm that it's the bidding companies that will decide whether or not toilets will be provided on board these new trains? As toilets take up significant space, which impacts on revenues, it doesn't take an expert, perhaps, to guess what their recommendations may be.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae rhifyn y mis hwn o gylchgrawn Modern Railways, y gwn ei fod yn ddeunydd darllen gofynnol ar gyfer holl Aelodau'r Cynulliad, wedi nodi na fydd trenau rheilffyrdd y Cymoedd yn cynnig toiledau i deithwyr mwyach. Hoffwn i chi gadarnhau a yw hyn yn wir ai peidio. Ond cyn i chi wneud hynny, hoffwn nodi bod dwy elfen i'r cwestiwn hwn, mewn gwirionedd. Yn y tymor byr, er mwyn osgoi methiant i gyflawni gofynion hygyrchedd a deddfwriaeth anabledd, yn hytrach na mynd ati'n rhagweithiol i uwchraddio'r stoc Pacer cyfredol i gydymffurfio â manylebau pobl â phroblemau symud, awgrymir bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dewis cloi'r toiledau yn lle hynny. Nawr, rydych wedi gwadu hynny, ond hoffwn i chi nodi'n fanwl sut rydych yn bwriadu sicrhau bod y trenau Pacer yn cydymffurfio â'r ddeddfwriaeth. Yr ail elfen, wrth edrych i'r dyfodol, yw bod llawer yn credu bod trenau rheilffyrdd ysgafn, nad ydynt fel arfer yn cynnwys toiledau, yn cael eu hystyried ar gyfer rhai o reilffyrdd y Cymoedd fel rhan o'r gwaith o ddatblygu metro de Cymru. A allwch gadarnhau mai'r cwmnïau sy'n gwneud cais a fydd yn penderfynu a fydd toiledau'n cael eu darparu ar y trenau newydd hyn ai peidio? Gan fod toiledau yn mynd â chryn dipyn o le, sy'n effeithio ar refeniw, efallai nad oes angen arbenigwr i ddyfalu beth y gallai eu hargymhellion fod.
English: I can assure the Member that doors will not be locked on trains to get around regulations that require operators to provide facilities for people of limited mobility. The bidders in the procurement exercise have been challenged with demonstrating how they will ensure that rolling stock complies with the regulations that are coming into force shortly, and it will require them to do that without the locking of any doors whatsoever. Equally, as part of the procurement exercise, we undertook a number of consultations with passengers and the wider public to ascertain exactly what it was that people prioritised when they were considering whether or not to use railways. Public transport and the quality of rolling stock were amongst the most important and significant factors in determining whether to use the train or their own private car. And so, as a consequence, this has become one of the primary areas of concern during the procurement process. We've required the bidders to demonstrate how they will ensure that there are toilet facilities on board trains.
Welsh: Gallaf sicrhau'r Aelod na fydd drysau'n cael eu cloi ar drenau er mwyn osgoi cydymffurfio â rheoliadau sy'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i weithredwyr ddarparu cyfleusterau ar gyfer pobl â phroblemau symud. Mae'r ymgeiswyr yn yr ymarfer caffael yn wynebu'r her o ddangos sut y byddant yn sicrhau bod trenau'n cydymffurfio â'r rheoliadau a ddaw i rym cyn bo hir, a bydd angen iddynt wneud hynny heb gloi unrhyw ddrysau o gwbl. Yn yr un modd, fel rhan o'r ymarfer caffael, cynhaliwyd nifer o ymgynghoriadau gyda theithwyr a'r cyhoedd yn ehangach er mwyn canfod beth yn union oedd y pethau pwysicaf i bobl pan oeddent yn ystyried a oeddent am ddefnyddio trenau ai peidio. Roedd trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ac ansawdd y trenau ymhlith y ffactorau mwyaf pwysig ac arwyddocaol wrth benderfynu rhwng defnyddio'r trên neu ddefnyddio'u car preifat eu hunain. Ac felly, o ganlyniad, mae hwn wedi datblygu i fod yn un o'r prif feysydd sy'n peri pryder yn ystod y broses gaffael. Rydym wedi gofyn i'r ymgeiswyr ddangos sut y byddant yn sicrhau bod toiledau ar drenau.
English: I'd like to turn, if I may, to another transport-related issue. Last week, the Welsh Government afforded opposition parties the opportunity to be given a technical briefing on the proposals for the M4 relief road. I'm grateful to the Cabinet Secretary and officials for that. Last week, you issued a written statement providing us with an update, and in that statement you said that in recognition of the importance of this matter you were committing to a debate in Government time before a final decision is made by Welsh Ministers on whether the project goes ahead. Can you clarify, Cabinet Secretary, whether that debate will involve a meaningful vote on an amendable motion? I think that's the phrase that we use under these circumstances. When it came to the comparable projects at a UK level, the high speed 2 line, Crossrail, the third runway, in all those cases, it was Parliament that made the decision on a motion before the House of Commons. So, can you confirm that that will be the case in our case, and if we decline to give our consent that that will not be interpreted as us having made a consent decision and leading the project going ahead regardless?
Welsh: Hoffwn droi, os caf, at fater arall sy'n gysylltiedig â thrafnidiaeth. Yr wythnos diwethaf, rhoddodd Llywodraeth Cymru gyfle i'r gwrthbleidiau gael cyfarfod briffio technegol ar y cynigion ar gyfer ffordd liniaru'r M4. Rwy'n ddiolchgar i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet a'r swyddogion am hynny. Yr wythnos diwethaf, fe gyhoeddoch chi ddatganiad ysgrifenedig yn rhoi'r newyddion diweddaraf i ni, ac yn y datganiad hwnnw, fe ddywedoch eich bod, i gydnabod pwysigrwydd y mater hwn, yn ymrwymo i ddadl yn amser y Llywodraeth cyn y bydd Gweinidogion Cymru yn gwneud penderfyniad terfynol ynglŷn ag a fydd y prosiect yn mynd rhagddo. A allwch chi egluro, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, a fydd y ddadl honno'n cynnwys pleidlais ystyrlon ar gynnig y gellir ei ddiwygio? Credaf mai dyna'r ymadrodd a ddefnyddiwn o dan yr amgylchiadau hyn. Gyda phrosiectau tebyg ar lefel y DU, rheilffordd 'high speed 2', Crossrail, y drydedd redfa, yn yr achosion hynny i gyd, y Senedd a wnaeth y penderfyniad ar gynnig gerbron Tŷ'r Cyffredin. Felly, a allwch gadarnhau mai dyna fydd yn digwydd yn ein hachos ni, ac os gwrthodwn roi ein cydsyniad, na fydd hynny'n cael ei ddehongli fel penderfyniad cydsynio ar ein rhan ac yn arwain at y prosiect yn mynd rhagddo beth bynnag?
English: Can I thank Adam Price, not just for his question, but also for attending the technical briefing that took place? I've decided to hold further technical briefings on this issue, because I'm aware that a number of Members, unfortunately, weren't able to attend last week, and I'll be sharing details of those briefings as soon as they've been arranged. In terms of the debate that we have committed to here, initially, as the leader of the house already indicated, the consideration was focused on whether or not it should be a 'to-note' debate. Now, we are now consulting with lawyers not just on the form of the debate, but also on the timing of the debate, and as soon as I'm able to provide full details of what the debate will take the form of and the date of that debate, I'll bring it to the Chamber.
Welsh: A gaf fi ddiolch i Adam Price, nid yn unig am ei gwestiwn, ond hefyd am fynychu'r cyfarfod briffio technegol? Rwyf wedi penderfynu cynnal cyfarfodydd briffio technegol pellach ar y mater hwn, oherwydd rwy'n ymwybodol nad oedd nifer o Aelodau, yn anffodus, yn gallu mynychu yr wythnos diwethaf, a byddaf yn rhannu manylion y cyfarfodydd briffio hynny cyn gynted ag y byddant wedi cael eu trefnu. O ran y ddadl rydym wedi ymrwymo iddi yma, i ddechrau, fel y mae arweinydd y tŷ eisoes wedi'i nodi, roedd yr ystyriaeth yn canolbwyntio ar ba un a ddylai fod yn ddadl 'i nodi' ai peidio. Nawr, rydym bellach yn ymgynghori â chyfreithwyr, nid yn unig ar ffurf y ddadl, ond hefyd ar amseriad y ddadl, a chyn gynted ag y gallaf roi manylion llawn mewn perthynas â ffurf a dyddiad y ddadl honno, byddaf yn eu rhannu â'r Siambr.
English: Could I - ? Certainly, I think it would be widely shared, not just on these benches, that that has to be a debate on a meaningful vote and an amendable motion, and that the Welsh Government decision must reflect the view of this Chamber. Could I finally turn to other road projects? There's been talk of a Bontnewydd and Caernarfon bypass for over a decade. The work was originally intended to start in 2016, and to be finished this year, yet here we are in 2018, decision hasn't even been made on whether or not to proceed with the project. Closer to home to me, the Llandeilo bypass that was agreed as part of our budget agreement last year is already running behind schedule: the route appraisals were meant to be completed in the summer of last year; the appraisal only started in January. So, it's at least four months late, and probably will be at least 10 months delayed, even though we were told the construction would start at the end of 2019. Is it not the case, Cabinet Secretary, that the reason for the delays in cases such as this is that the M4 relief road is not just poised to consume the majority of Welsh Government expenditure in this area, it's also been consuming most of your officials' time?
Welsh: A gaf fi - ? Yn sicr, credaf fod llawer o'r farn, nid yn unig ar y meinciau hyn, fod yn rhaid i honno fod yn ddadl ar bleidlais ystyrlon a chynnig y gellir ei ddiwygio, a bod yn rhaid i benderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru adlewyrchu barn y Siambr hon. Yn olaf, a gaf fi droi at brosiectau ffyrdd eraill? Mae sôn wedi bod am ffordd osgoi Caernarfon a Bontnewydd ers dros ddegawd. Bwriadwyd i'r gwaith ddechrau yn 2016 yn wreiddiol, ac i fod wedi'i gwblhau eleni, ac eto dyma ni yn 2018, ac nid yw'r penderfyniad a ddylid bwrw ymlaen â'r prosiect ai peidio wedi cael ei wneud hyd yn oed. Yn nes adref ataf fi, mae ffordd osgoi Llandeilo, y cytunwyd arni fel rhan o gytundeb y gyllideb y llynedd, eisoes ar ei hôl hi: roedd arfarniadau llwybr i fod i gael eu cwblhau yn ystod yr haf y llynedd; fis Ionawr yn unig y dechreuodd yr arfarniad. Felly, mae'r gwaith bedwar mis yn hwyr o leiaf, ac mae'n debyg y bydd o leiaf 10 mis o oedi, er y dywedwyd wrthym y byddai'r gwaith adeiladu'n dechrau ar ddiwedd 2019. Onid yw'n wir, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mai'r rheswm dros yr oedi mewn achosion fel hyn yw bod ffordd liniaru'r M4 ar fin llyncu'r rhan fwyaf o wariant Llywodraeth Cymru yn y maes hwn, yn ogystal â llyncu'r rhan fwyaf o amser eich swyddogion?
English: Look, I would urge caution in calling for concrete to be poured as soon as possible in road projects that are in individuals' constituencies and yet urging caution and restraint on building M roads and other major pieces of infrastructure. We need to be able to demonstrate that we are approaching every piece of infrastructure development in a dispassionate way and in a way that is objective, and that's the reason why we're setting up the national infrastructure commission for Wales, to be able to inform decisions in a depoliticised way with the assistance of experts. I can tell the Member that, with regard to the Caernarfon to Bontnewydd bypass, this has taken up considerable amount of resource in terms of the independent inspectorate and in terms of Government officials' time, but I have sufficient officials to be able to deal with both this and the M4 and, indeed, many other projects, and I'll be making a decision in the coming three weeks on that particular programme. But the reason that it has taken time - and it's right to take time over such a project, given not just the cost but also the number of people who have engaged in the process of consultation - the inspector considered 20 expressions of support, but he also considered 160 objections, and in addition to this, there were 20 alternative routes that were proposed as part of the inquiry process. It's absolutely right that we uphold our statutory duties in giving careful consideration to an inspector's report before reaching a final decision, and certainly before pouring that concrete as the Member wishes us to do.
Welsh: Edrychwch, rwy'n annog pwyll wrth alw am arllwys y concrit mewn prosiectau ffyrdd yn etholaethau unigolion cyn gynted â phosibl, ac yn annog pwyll ac ataliaeth ar adeiladu ffyrdd M a darnau mawr eraill o seilwaith. Mae angen i ni allu dangos ein bod yn trin pob datblygiad seilwaith mewn ffordd ddiduedd a gwrthrychol, a dyna'r rheswm pam rydym yn sefydlu comisiwn seilwaith cenedlaethol i Gymru, er mwyn gallu llywio penderfyniadau mewn ffordd sydd wedi'i dadwleidyddoli gyda chymorth arbenigwyr. Gallaf ddweud wrth yr Aelod, mewn perthynas â ffordd osgoi Caernarfon a Bontnewydd, fod y gwaith wedi defnyddio adnoddau sylweddol o ran yr arolygiaeth annibynnol ac o ran amser swyddogion y Llywodraeth, ond mae gennyf ddigon o swyddogion i allu ymdrin â'r mater hwn a'r M4 a llawer o brosiectau eraill yn wir, a byddaf yn gwneud penderfyniad ar y rhaglen arbennig honno yn ystod y tair wythnos nesaf. Ond y rheswm pam ei fod wedi cymryd amser - ac mae'n iawn i gymryd amser dros brosiect o'r fath, o ystyried nid yn unig y gost, ond hefyd nifer y bobl sydd wedi cymryd rhan yn y broses ymgynghori - mae'r arolygydd wedi ystyried 20 datganiad o gefnogaeth, ond mae hefyd wedi ystyried 160 o wrthwynebiadau, ac yn ogystal â hyn, cafodd 20 o lwybrau amgen eu cynnig fel rhan o broses yr ymchwiliad. Mae'n gwbl briodol ein bod yn cyflawni ein dyletswyddau statudol drwy roi ystyriaeth ofalus i adroddiad yr arolygydd cyn gwneud penderfyniad terfynol, ac yn sicr cyn arllwys y concrit fel y mae'r Aelod yn dymuno i ni ei wneud.
English: Well, this is a subject that is of concern across the Government. It forms part of 'Prosperity for All', it's a subject that I'm working closely with, not just with my colleague the Cabinet Secretary, but also with the Minister for Environment, working to ensure that small-scale energy schemes, and, indeed, larger-scale energy schemes, deliver benefits to local communities. That's why ambitious targets have already been set out by the Cabinet Secretary.
Welsh: Wel, mae hwn yn bwnc sydd o ddiddordeb ar draws y Llywodraeth. Mae'n rhan o 'Ffyniant i Bawb', mae'n bwnc rwy'n gweithio'n agos ag ef, nid yn unig gyda fy nghyd-Aelod, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, ond hefyd gyda Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, i sicrhau bod cynlluniau ynni ar raddfa fach, ac yn wir, cynlluniau ynni ar raddfa fwy, yn sicrhau manteision i gymunedau lleol. Dyna pam fod targedau uchelgeisiol eisoes wedi cael eu gosod gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet.
English: In 2015, Chris Blake of the Green Valleys (Wales) said his company had identified at least 500 sites in Wales suitable for micro-hydro projects. The Guardian in that year highlighted a hill farmer in Wales who said the installation of his 18 KW generator had doubled the income of his farm and was effective 24 hours a day. Given the parlous state of our hill farmers due to common agricultural policy policies, surely it would be a goodwill gesture by the Welsh Government to subsidise such schemes for our hill farmers, with the obvious added bonus of cutting carbon emissions? Of course, we do have some community hydro schemes in Wales, but, with more Welsh Government help, there could be many more. Surely, Cabinet Secretary, it is time to take a serious look at the these small hydro schemes, especially in the light of the appalling comments on the Swansea bay project yesterday by UK business Minister Lord Henley?
Welsh: Yn 2015, dywedodd Chris Blake o Cymoedd Gwyrdd (Cymru) fod ei gwmni wedi nodi o leiaf 500 o safleoedd yng Nghymru sy'n addas ar gyfer prosiectau micro-hydro. Y flwyddyn honno, rhoddodd The Guardian sylw i ffermwr mynydd yng Nghymru a ddywedodd ei fod wedi dyblu incwm ei fferm drwy osod generadur 18 KW a oedd yn weithredol 24 awr y dydd. O ystyried cyflwr enbyd ein ffermwyr mynydd o ganlyniad i bolisïau amaethyddol cyffredin, byddai'n arwydd o ewyllys da pe bai Llywodraeth Cymru yn rhoi cymhorthdal am gynlluniau o'r fath i'n ffermwyr mynydd, gyda mantais ychwanegol amlwg o dorri allyriadau carbon? Wrth gwrs, mae gennym rai cynlluniau ynni dŵr cymunedol yng Nghymru, ond gyda mwy o gymorth gan Lywodraeth Cymru, gallai fod llawer mwy. Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, onid yw'n bryd i ni edrych o ddifrif ar y cynlluniau ynni dŵr bach hyn, yn enwedig o ystyried y sylwadau gwarthus a wnaed ar brosiect bae Abertawe ddoe gan Weinidog busnes y DU, yr Arglwydd Henley?
English: Absolutely. I couldn't agree more, but we are already helping farmers and other people living in rural areas to develop micro-hydro schemes, funding schemes and also offering advice. I'm particularly pleased to see UKIP having converted to supporting sustainable methods of generating energy, and renewable energy at that.
Welsh: Yn hollol. Ni allwn gytuno mwy, ond rydym eisoes yn helpu ffermwyr a phobl eraill sy'n byw mewn ardaloedd gwledig i ddatblygu cynlluniau micro-hydro, gan ariannu cynlluniau yn ogystal â chynnig cyngor. Rwy'n arbennig o falch o weld bod UKIP wedi newid eu safbwynt i gefnogi dulliau cynaliadwy o gynhyrchu ynni, ac ynni adnewyddadwy ar hynny.
English: Well, Cabinet Minister, it appears that one of the major obstacles to these micro schemes and the larger community schemes is - . According to Western Distribution in 2015, the grid for rural Wales was at full capacity. Is this still the case, and, if so, is the Welsh Government able to do anything to alleviate this problem? Scotland is now a world leader in renewable energy, and part of this success is that hydro power increased last year by 9 per cent. Does the Cabinet Secretary have figures for Wales? And, Cabinet Secretary, Wales is one of the wettest places in Europe. Surely we have the potential to emulate Scotland in hydro schemes, which, after all, are far less obtrusive in our landscape than those wind and solar farms? It appears that hydro power has, for far too long, been the cinderella in the mix of renewable energies in Wales.
Welsh: Wel, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae'n ymddangos mai un o'r rhwystrau mawr i'r cynlluniau micro hyn a'r cynlluniau cymunedol mwy yw - . Yn ôl Western Distribution, roedd capasiti grid cefn gwlad Cymru yn llawn yn 2015. A yw hyn yn wir o hyd, ac os felly, a yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu gwneud unrhyw beth i leddfu'r broblem hon? Mae'r Alban bellach yn arweinydd byd ym maes ynni adnewyddadwy, a rhan o'r llwyddiant hwn yw'r ffaith bod ynni dŵr wedi cynyddu 9 y cant y llynedd. A oes gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet ffigurau ar gyfer Cymru? Ac mae Cymru yn un o'r lleoedd gwlypaf yn Ewrop, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet. Does bosibl nad oes gennym botensial i efelychu'r Alban mewn cynlluniau ynni dŵr sydd, wedi'r cyfan, yn llawer llai ymwthiol yn ein tirlun na'r ffermydd gwynt a solar? Mae'n ymddangos mai ynni dŵr yw'r sinderela yng nghymysgedd ynni adnewyddadwy Cymru, ac mae hynny wedi bod yn wir ers llawer gormod o amser.
